Pat and his helper Kevin arrived on time November 12, 2018. I asked him to check out the sink drain connection and dishwasher drain connection since I had replaced a hose on the dishwasher drain and a P trap on the left side sink. In the process I thought I may have broken the seal on the sink drain and just wanted him to check my work to make sure there were no other leaks. I also asked him to replace a very short hose on the dishwasher drain that I did not replace but was old.
Pat had to replace my sink drain, the P trap with PCV piping and the exit plumbing from the sink. He also replaced the short piece of hose on the dishwasher drain set up with a different configuration. He checked the plumbing for leaks but we did not turn on the dishwasher. His price was $295 for one hour work parts and labor. When I questioned the charge after he left he agreed to a concession on price of $70.
After he left on Monday my wife turned on the dishwasher and when it started to drain a good amount of water immediately started to come out of the small hose connection. Pat returned the following day and worked on it for about 30 minutes and finally gave up and said I needed to replace the drain hose from the dishwasher and that it was missing a metal end piece. He basically just left and said it was an appliance problem. I called an appliance parts supplier and after explaining what Pat indicated the representative said that the dishwasher did not have a metal end piece on my Bosh dishwasher and that I might have a plumber problem.
With that I went to work on fixing the leak using the same configuration used before Pat started work on it and some plumber tape. After some effort I was able to fix the leak and tested it with a full cycle on the dishwasher. The dishwasher drains twice after wash and rinse and there was no water leaking form the hose. Problem solved
So bottom line Pat did not know how to fix the problem which is surprising given how many years he said he has been doing this. What really was unprofessional was leaving me with the problem and saying it was not his fault and call an appliance repair company. This would have been a one star if not for the concession on price. Pat seems to be okay on the simpler plumbing issues but not on problem cases. More interested in getting on to the next job. I think he is a one man operation so finishing quickly is more important than quality of work. I would not recommend them.

I called Mac and he was able to come out that evening to hook my water heater back up after the gas company disconnected it because of a gas leak. It was great that he was able to come so quickly, and he was friendly and knowledgeable!

Scott is a tremendous find! Plumbers can be so expensive and many are kind of unreliable, but Scott is responsive, a great communicator and, most importantly, a very skilled plumber. He fixed our non-working shower in under an hour at a very reasonable price. He's also very friendly--we really enjoyed talking to him and our dog adored him. Highly recommended!

I contacted Rocket Plumbing after an internet search because a shut-off valve under my bathroom sink began to leak.
The plumber arrived within 90 minutes and assessed the situation. He said it was probably an easy fix, and was correct. Afterward, he showed me what he had done (tighten the valve) and said some firms would tell me it needed to be replaced which would mean opening the wall and lots of additional work. Then, he added, If this happens again, just check that they're snug, don't let anyone J*w you on this, and I was completely stunned.
I can't imagine someone who works in neighborhoods with large Jewish populations would think it's okay to make such a statement. While the work was satisfactory, customer skills need polishing.

I had a sewage backup in my basement.
I called in the morning and thankfully they had an opening. They got to working right away. A responsive and respectable team.
They explained all the issues and found one I will need to address at some point in the future.
Straightforward group, great results.
Thank you David and your team!
I will certainly call you all again!

UGH!! My sump pump was failing and letting water leak out onto my basement floor. It was frustrating and inconvenient to have to clean up the mess over and over again so I gave Jose a call.
Having had an awesome experience with him before, I trusted that he would know the right thing to do. He came by to check out the problem and recommended that we replace the switch, (which we had done before), or the pump itself since it was pretty old and obviously ineffective.
I decided to go ahead and replace the pump. I figured I didn't want to go back and forth with this issue and wanted it fixed once and for all. He suggested a make and model and even told me where I could get it and he said he would be happy to replace it. For free-99. WOW! I even got a discount on the price of the pump because Jose had connections there. Double WOW!!
I couldn't possibly ask for better service.

I waited a few months to review the repair on our bath tub. We had the leak repaired 4 times by a few plumbers. It would not leak for a few months and start back up again. So far we have had zero water leaking. The repair cost was VERY reasonable which I can say with absolute confidence since we had 3 other plumbers come for estimates before choosing Eugene and crew. They were very curtious, cleaned up after themselves, and were on time. I would use this company again for my plumbing needs.

I just had the best experience working with Kevin from Sound Plumbing. Due to a leak and some minimal water damage, I needed both my bathroom toilet and sink replaced. Kevin was prompt in returning my call, coming in for an estimate and getting the work done in a jiffy. His work is top notch. Last but not least - Kevin's prices are beyond reasonable. I can't wait to have a friend who needs a plumber so I can send him their way!

Jesus is great! Super reasonable and fair pricing. He's also very quick to respond and pretty flexible/available. We've used him a couple of times for plumbing issues and he's done a great job - he even caught a couple of issues that weren't yet causing problems. He's one of the few plumbers who actually responds, gives a reasonable quote and won't gouge you on services. Definitely recommend!

I really appreciate Green Tech responding and sending Roland out to help me out with my plumbing issue. He was very efficient. Personable guy too! Thanks for the laughs. Good and straightforward pricing too plus the Yelp discount!

Toilet backed up on a Sunday and I needed it fixed the same day. Adam from Captain Rooter called me soon after my inquiry and explained what he thinks the issue is and how it would be resolved.
He texted me when he was 5 minutes away and arrived at the time he said he would. He came in with another nice fellow and they got right to work.
They got the toilet working perfectly again, triple checked to make sure the issue was resolved, cleaned up after themselves and thanked me for the business. This is what great service looks like, huge thank you to Adam and team for turning my messy ordeal into a pleasant experience!

Darrell and his team did such an exceptional job at replacing my ceiling fan with flush mount and install two sconces. From the initial communication with Darrell, he was very transparent with how they would complete the work and provided various options for me to make sure I felt good about the work and the price. Also, his entire team is is super nice and very professional.

Our bathroom sink became completely clogged on a Saturday morning. It's the only upstairs bathroom in our home and needless to say - a nightmare when unusable. I called Hristo at ABV and he was able to come out and clear the drain in a matter of hours. He also repaired a leaky drain in another washroom. Price was very reasonable with excellent customer service. Highly recommend ABV!!

Juan came out to replace a wax ring on a toilet. He quickly did the work and the toilet is now very secure. He was friendly and able to do the work with a days notice. Reasonable price and very responsive. I would definitely use him again for any plumbing work I need done.

Noel is a fantastic plumber and a great guy! I had a minor issue with our toilet leaking, and he was able to come out within a few hours to fix it. He had me text him the issue and a few pictures so he knew what to expect and what parts to bring. He also quoted me a price and time before coming out. I can't say enough great things about my experience, and I'll definitely be using Five Plumbing again!
