I was in need of an RO system install which required drilling through stone countertop. The guy came out and had to go to Home Depot for a part to get through the countertop, so I had to pay extra for that trip & part that took over an hour to get (sad face). Overall I'm really satisfied with the work that he did. He was very quick once he got started, and he nestled it under the sink in such a way that really utilized the space efficiently, leaving me plenty of extra room to store other items. Thank you!

Got a yelp quote and he was the first to reply and I went with them, we agreed on a time for the next day and they arrived early which is unheard of this day and age. They were very professional and polite, when done they cleaned up and the price was reasonable and exactly what we agreed on the day before, no change, add on price, I Will recommend to my family and friends.

Quick and effective service of my shower after another plumber couldn't fix it. The technician was polite and came when he said he would come.

I went to Yelp to find a good plumber for the Bradenton/Palmetto area.  I found and called Richards Plumbing.  The office staff was wonderful.   They were at my home within an hour or two... sooner than promised.  David was my service tech.  He repaired the problem.  He was very professional, clean and gave excellent service.  Problem Resolved!  I would definitely use them and recommend them for your plumbing needs.  I will also consider using them for Electric now since I now know they do that.

I have used this company for the last 15 years, I have always found them fair and  reasonable until recently.
Beware of their mark up practices on parts. I honestly think the service person charges whatever they want.
For example I was charged 180 dollars for 1 1/2 hrs labor and for a service call. No problem, but then I was charged 120 dollars for 4 shut off valves, 3 sleeves and 1 90 degree elbow. My jaw hit the floor. I expected a healthy mark up, but not at this level. These shut off valves are 8.95 at Home Depot. Lesson learned, I'll buy my own parts next time or I'll shop around for a more reasonable plumbing company when it comes to pricing practices.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Plumbing by Darryl, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Darryl's exceptional personality, friendliness, and extensive knowledge truly set him apart in the plumbing industry.

From the moment I contacted Darryl thru the 'Thumbtack' app, and later at 813-590-9559, I knew I was dealing with a professional who genuinely cares about his customers. He went above and beyond to address my plumbing needs and ensure that my family's well-being was prioritized throughout the entire process.

Darryl's professionalism and dedication to his craft were evident from the moment he arrived at my home. He took the time to thoroughly assess the situation, explaining each step of the process in a way that was easy to understand. His expertise and attention to detail instilled a great deal of confidence in his abilities.

What impressed me the most was Darryl's family-oriented approach. He treated my home with the utmost respect, ensuring that the work was completed efficiently and to the highest standards. His commitment to quality craftsmanship was truly commendable, leaving no stone unturned in resolving the plumbing issue.

Additionally, Darryl's willingness to provide detailed explanations and answer any questions I had throughout the process was invaluable. He took the time to educate me on preventive measures and maintenance tips, empowering me to make informed decisions about my plumbing system's care.

Overall, I cannot recommend Plumbing by Darryl enough for all your plumbing needs. With his amazing personality, friendly demeanor, and unparalleled expertise, he is undoubtedly a standout professional in the field. Don't hesitate to reach out to Darryl at 813-590-9559 for top-notch service that exceeds expectations. You won't be disappointed!

Quick response and on time appointment. A little expensive but efecient. Very knowledgeable Plumer but probably I will use them again

I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs plumbing services. We need to replacement our kitchen faucet and had requested quote from multiple plumbers. Jessy gave me the quote quickly on Yelp at a very reasonable price without any hassles. He came in the next day and did a great job! He even helped clean the sink and throw the trash! Thanks very much for the great service and we will absolutely come back to these guys in the future if we need plumbing service.

I have been dealing with Alvarez plumbing for years.  I always get good, timely service.  Most recently I had two experiences in one week.  My downstairs neighbor complained of leaks from my unit, thinking it might be a toilet leak because she found water on her toilet tank, which is situated in the same place as in my unit.  The plumber sized up the situation and suspected the leak occurred in my unit from the shower, about three feet away from where the neighbor found water underneath me; the water had traveled via a slightly inclined subfloor.  The man didn't have to rip out her ceiling or my tile.  He figured that the shower head had a leak that leaked down the tile to where the on/off faucet is and got behind that piece and leaked down below.   He made appropriate fixes based on his suspicion, and he was right.  The leak stopped.  A few days later, my very old water heater developed a leak, and I caught it before there was a flood.  I asked Alvarez to accommodate my work schedule and send someone over with a new water heater after 6 p.m.  The men showed up on time, replaced the water heater, completely cleaned up, and left a little after 9 p.m.  I am a satisfied Alvarez customer.  P.S.  Seniors (65 and up) get 10% off.  There is also an online coupon for $25 off a visit.

Called this guy up at 830am, he answered sounding barely awake and then unfortunately the line dropped.  When I called him back he was rude and hung up on me.  Called Billy the Sunshine Plumber and they answered much more professionally and made an appointment for the afternoon.

So far not a great experience. I've used there services last year and was happy. I had an issue with a clogged toilet and tub and they couldn't get a technician out until a day later. They called me today at 10:47am and said a technician was on their way (no ETA GIVEN). So at 12:10pm I called back and said no one showed up and wanted a ETA. We only have 1 bathroom in our home, so it's a bit annoying when you can't use it for 24 hours. Finally at 12:40pm technician arrives. I explained the issue and he went straight in and rain the water in the shower (which was over flowing yesterday) and flushing the toilet constantly to make sure water would go down. I had used the Roto-Rooter pipe shield the night before to help clear and de-grease the pipes. And after probably 20 flushes and him running our shower water 4x he walks out shrugging with his hands in the air and said, I guess the pipe shield fixed the problem. He said there was no charge for coming out since he didn't do anything which is great! But said to call back if t happens again.

Just finished a fantastic experience with Leland Plumbing. Had several things to look at in a rental unit condo.  I was given an 11-1 window. They called just before 11 stating a plumber would be there soon. He was knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed my issues while giving me itemized prices for everything. I got to choose the services I wanted. He was efficient and double checked his work. Was able to pay with credit card and he was on his way. Definitely will use for future needs.

I'd like to share our recent experience regarding a local plumbing business.  After receiving a $168 water bill, we called Rooter-Man of Tampa Bay (their trucks are in our 55+ mobile home park often) to check for leaks and were told we needed a total re-pipe.  I explained to the Rooter-Man of Tampa Bay employee that I was leery of a re-pipe and asked how they would do that since we had a vapor barrier that had been inspected a year ago and was told it was one of the best barriers they had seen - nice, tight and all intact.  This Rooter-Man of Tampa Bay employee assured me that they only poke holes up through the barrier and patch and close up where they insert the piping.  Within a few days, this employee and two others were under our home beginning at 9am and finished at 9pm. The next morning we discovered several issues so I called Rooter-Man of Tampa Bay that morning and asked to have a supervisor come to our home.   The issues we had found were:  1) the water heater (which was new) had connections leaking onto to the floor that houses the water heater;  2) the expansion tank from the new water heater had been removed;  3) there was a leak under kitchen sink;  4) there was a leak under bathroom sink;  5) the hot/cold connections had been reversed in both showers;  6) one outdoor spigot had not been re-piped and 7) the employee cut out foam sealant around the shower pipes in the wall which I specifically had asked him if he had re-filled those areas back up with foam to which he replied he did but when I took the door off to check he had not.  The employee who was sent to correct these issues also found that:  1) one exterior spigot didn't have the correct valve; 2) the water heater had been connected wrong to the piping and 3) the tubing had all been left on the ground and should have been up off the ground.  This employee (and another) spent 2+ days fixing the shoddy work that was done by the first employee and crew.   Thinking this fiasco was finally behind us we discovered that we had no airflow from one of the A/C ducts into the Florida room.  I called and explained to the guy who had come and fixed everything that the duct was directly beneath the washer/dryer/bathroom and that something must have gotten disconnected during the re-pipe.  He told me to contact an A/C person which I did.  The A/C guy reported that there was a path made to where the plumbing work had been done and the ductwork was completely crushed by the plumber crawling over and laying on it to do the work.  Pictures he took showed the crushed duct with the surrounding insulation hanging out all over as well as the duct covering torn open.  The A/C guy also stated that the vapor barrier had been torn/cut and left hanging down in the areas re-piped.  Again, before the plumbing work began I shared my concerns with the plumber regarding the vapor barrier who assured me they only poke holes in the barrier for the pipe and that they make sure it's all tacked back up where the plumbing work will be done.   After learning of these issues from the A/C guy I thought it will be better to talk to someone in person about the crushed ductwork and vapor barrier so I went to the Rooter-Man of Tampa Bay office, rang their Ring doorbell and was met by a person who cracked the door open about six inches while holding back a dog.  I told her I was a customer and would like to talk with someone regarding some issues.  She had me wait outside to go see if someone was available.  A few minutes later I was allowed inside the door.  The Rooter-Man of Tampa Bay owner asked what I needed. I was polite and calm the entire time as I explained about the air duct being crushed and the vapor barrier torn open.  Her reply to me was, The fact that you came here without an appointment tells me I don't even want to (or don't even have to) talk to you.  I think my jaw dropped to the floor with that comment.  She stated that the employee who did the work is no longer with them and repeated more than once, You signed a contract that absolves us of ANY damage.  This Rooter-Man of Tampa Bay owner could not care less about the aftermath and expenses this customer is now faced with to repair the ruined ductwork and vapor barrier done by their employees.  I was very nice to this woman, calm and polite the entire conversation.  I left dumbfounded as to how any business owner could be so rude and uncaring to a customer who had paid them thousands of dollars.  There are numerous reviews on Google, Yelp and the Better Business Bureau stating how rude she is to people.  We've paid a service call to the A/C guy ($$), just paid to have the vapor barrier repaired ($$$$) and are now scheduled to have the ductwork replaced ($$$$) which I was told will be an all-day job with two people because it is crushed all across the home from one side to the other.  I can get past the rudeness, but to think this is how a business operates and treats their customer is so wrong.

We called them to replace a pipe and were not pleased.  The guy (Rick I believe) looked around and gave quote of $400+.  Needless to say, we sent him on his way after paying the $79.00 service call fee.

I did the job myself in 20 minutes and with $10.65 in parts from the hardware store.

It would be nice if we could call a professional without having to worry about getting scammed.  Be sure to call a place with free estimates.  These guys are making a killing without even having to do anything.

Rob was great, he installed my New Ring door bell quickly & it's working great!
He also fixed a curtain rod bracket into my sheet rock which I couldn't seem to do, this made me so happy! Thanks Rob!
I will be calling Rob again!
