Best Remodeling in Cincinnati OH

Wanted to thank you for the gorgeous fence... not to mention the new bathroom shower.. thought was going to be a bit more difficult but wouldnt have known it.  Also the other odds n ends.. we are working on another little list. Most definitely have found our go to for around the house repairs and/or remodeling.. very good price, professional and polite.

Dixon Plumbing is a breath of fresh air when it comes to plumbing. I had gotten a few quotes from other companies who priced the job out of this world. I contacted Dixon after finding them on Yelp. They sent someone out the same day to quote the job where able to start and finish the work one day later. They did and amazing job. The next time I need some work done they will be the only company I call.

These guys bailed me out when another plumber left me stranded. They were nice, professional, cleaned up after themselves, just all around a great experience. I'm extremely grateful for them and the work they did.

Needed a quick electrical troubleshoot the day before Thanksgiving to get my stove working in time for the holidays. Tony literally answered the phone from in the dentist's chair and came over within 45 minutes. He fixed the stove and even took a look at a couple outlets for no additional charge. He took the time to explain what he was doing. Will definitely call YUPRS again.

I needed a garbage disposal removed and sink repaired, so I called several places. All estimates were about the same, but G&K seemed the most friendly and professional on the phone, so I made an appointment. The plumber arrived right when he said he would, and his work was great. It ended up costing less that the estimate. I plan to call them again if I ever need plumbing work in the future.

I was quoted that the plumber would arrive between 8-9 am. I called at 0845 and was told 1) my address was listed incorrectly and 2) the plumber was still at another job site. This is my second time using Zins for the same job. I wonder why it didn't hold up the first time... ?

Disappointed

Plumbing company's always get a bad rap. I personal give them the upmost respect. It's a craft that gets very little appreciation. They take on all of the nasty complicated jobs that none of us want to do.

With that said, I want to thank Elliott and Bradley Plumbing for always being there when I need them most. They are very professional and responsive. Fairly priced, and their staff is very friendly and easy to work with.

I also want to acknowledge one of their plumbers, Ray. He has been dispatched to my home three times. Each time he has been very professional and respectful of my home. He always explains what the problem is and his plan of attack to resolve it. He works efficiently and is very tidy.

Elliott and Bradley is a quality company, and I recommend them to anyone needing honest, and professional plumbing  services for their home.

Update: A few weeks ago, I had this company come back out to replace my hot water heater. It was old and leaked water all over my house. I ended up with Mike as my technician. He was great! We ran into some problems that were not at all the fault of the company, and he did not complain one time. Basically, we had to bring in HVAC to move some stuff and they came right over on a Friday afternoon go help out. Mike came back on Saturday morning, which was his day off, to finish the job. He said he was not going to leave my family without hot water all weekend. I also needed help from the A-Abel office and Nick to gather info for my home warranty company, and everyone was super helpful and accommodating. Truthfully, I have now used this company twice (original review is below) and they have been prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and just plain easy to deal with. I will definitely use them in the future and recommend them to others.

Needed a part replaced on my hot water heater. My home warranty company would not provide a service contractor so I had to find my own. Honestly, I used A Abel because I see them advertised a lot. I had no other reason for calling them. The lady on the phone was very nice. She could sense my frustration, and was quick, thorough, and incredibly polite.

The technician, Steve S. was also great. He was very polite. He also had to put up with a million questions from my home warranty company, and he stayed on the phone with them for about ten minutes telling them the same thing over and over, and he was incredibly kind to them even though it was very frustrating to answer the same question over and over. He was able to quickly diagnose the problem, give me a quote, and an estimated time to fix everything. He was kind to my child and made small talk while he was working. I know some people don't care about that, but it put me at ease. Oh! He also wore the little blue booties over his shoes. I hate it when technicians walk around my house without the booties. Bonus points for him putting them on right away!

It does suck that there is a trip charge no matter what. It did cost me an extra 49 bucks because of that, but his quality of service was worth it.

I used Markco Plumbing for the first and last time. I have no problem with the service reps.  They were competent and courteous.  I received service in November but did not receive a bill until February 19th!  The service guys were at my place for 1/2 hour. They replaced two hammer arrestors on my washing machine which were about $25.  When I finally received my bill, I was surprised that the total was $254. When I finally received an answer to my question about my bill I was informed that, indeed, they were there for about 1/2 hour.  They charge for 1 hour minimum. I have no problem with that. But, they also charged for 1/2 hour for driving time and a $30 Truck charge! (Whatever the hell that is!) The additional charges were about $100. I find that unacceptable and will not use them again!

In response to the owner's comments.

Yes Mike, the work was all performed without any quote. It's your responsibility as the business owner to handle your employees and your standards of service.

I repeatedly asked for a quote and the guy said he couldn't give me one until he was already performing the repairs and that it could be $1200, or $2400 or... (literally, verbatim, that's what he said). He was the professional-- not me. He was the one supposed to know. My mother was present for this conversation, and when I still couldn't get a quote I had the plumber speak to my boyfriend who even he couldn't get him pinned down an estimate.

Furthermore I specifically requested to speak with you-- assuming you're the business owner, and I was told you wouldn't accept customer's calls and that your plumber would call me.

To place the blame on me as a customer as if it's bizarre that anybody would allow work without a quote is unprofessional and offensive. I'm not local-- I was paying to have the work performed on my mother's home and I trusted your company.  I should have known since you were already charging me just to come out that it was a bait and switch-- I was already monetarily invested at that point and you had me.

Attached / posted are the invoices for this debacle. I'm sure you can look up my contact info based on the invoice # if you'd like to reach out.

I own a 1 year old home and I had an issue with sewage coming into the basement. Gentry was brought to the home by the builder to find the issue, first day he came out completely with a snake to remove the clog but it was to far for it to reach.He came back a day later with a scope and larger snake so that he could see where the issue was, inspect the pipe per my request, and remove any clogs. He snaked the drain and left, and as I was not home and remotely gave him access, he was in contact with me the entire time. I did have a couple very minor grievances about the experience, but ultimately were very manageable by myself and not worth harming the reputation of Gentry or it's employees. Their prices are fair, not the best but fair. They are informative and got the job done in a timely manor.

Overpriced, absolutely shabby work, would not stand by the initially quoted price by his staff.  Charged $300 to just replace 1 outside faucet,  labor only - since I had bought the part.  Faucet started leaking and would not shut off.  Called them back and he said there would be another $300 roughly to come out and fix it.  

Will never use them again.  Really disappointing and highly dissatisfied!

By the recommendation of a neighbor, we had four issues we wanted addressed by G&R. We had poor water pressure, two utility drains had had leaks and our water heater was not hot enough. 1&2) The water leaks in the utility sinks seemed to have disappeared since I looked at them a couple of weeks prior. 3)Per Adam, he adjusted the water pressure down to 80 psi as it was actually too high. Strangely enough, the internal water pressure did visually increase. Not sure what happened there. I am not sure if his adjustment just allowed the water to flow? I'm not sure but we now had normal water pressure. 4) Adam, the apprentice (by our request and the advisement of Randy) adjusted the water heater temperature up past the 125F (even though we only get 105F at the tap).  That helped as in 10 minutes it was noticeably warmer.  It was now at 125F.
Randy recommended we replace the expansion tank as they typically only  last 5 years and he said ours was bad. For $280, he would replace the tank. I didn't second guess it and said okay. I understand they need to be paid for something. It took them less than 10 minutes to get the tank and replace it. As my wife was getting them a check, I was surprised to learn that the visit was $630! The trip fee of $165 is NOT waived even though they did true work! The $280 was the price just for the tank, plus the labor. We later found that this a $40 part at any plumbing or home supply. Per Randy, They are all the same and only last 5 years.
Randy kept selling saying he does a lot of work in these upscale neighborhoods. He wanted to sell us a water treatment system, but he could not get due to lack of supply. All he was doing was looking for a way to make more money!
Two days later, we had no hot water. I called up and spoke with Adam as he was on call for Saturday work. He said that it would likely need a new water heater costing $1400 to $2400. We asked if the service call charge would be waived. He said No.  

I called a new plumber! He came out and reset the water heater. We have hot water now. No charge!

Never again will I use G&R!

This plumbing service would receive a zero rating if possible.  The staff is unprofessional and their charges are completely out of line with other plumbers.  We have had several situations in which we used there services.

The first time we used their service, we have a leak in a wall.  They came out and gave us an estimate.  They were late to this appointment and were very unprofessional.  We used them anyway because they were available to fix the problem immediately.  Upon fixing the problem we received a bill for almost twice them amount of the estimate even though no additional work was required.

The second time we used them was a complete disaster.  They sent an individual to fix a leak under our house.  This individual showed up with no coveralls (trip number one, he had to drive to his house to get the coveralls).  When he finally began working, he didn't have any couplings to fix the water leak (trip number two, he had to go to Lowes to get supplies).  He didn't appear to know what he was talking about and was heard cursing like a sailor under the floor of our house.  After ranting and raving about how difficult a job it was and how much it was going to cost, he left a third time (trip three to Lowes) to get more supplies.  

He was at our home for approximately 7 hours and accomplished an hour of actual work.  After all of this we decided to call in another plumber.  Willouhgby wanted us to pay $110 per hour for time for work that was not being completed.  This plumber arrived on time, was professional and courteous.  He also completed the job in less than an hour.  His cost was less and he was excellent.  

Our advice is not to use this plumbing service.  You will overpay and  they are unprofessional.

I hired Matt to fix a leaking drain from the upstairs bathroom. At first he quoted an extremely high amount, but then cut it in half after I said I would need to get another estimate. I agreed to this and he came out and did the work. The next time the bath was used, it started leaking again, so we called Matt again. This time he promised to show up that day to fix the problem, but didnt show. Then he promised to show up the next day but again didn't come, and started arguing that the leak wasn't his fault. Then he promised to show up the next morning and didn't come. Finally we gave up on him and had someone else fix the problem.
