Overpriced.
$160 for 45 minutes or less.  They were gone for 10-20 minutes of the time.  Replaced a gasket in a toilet.

This company was highly recommended to my family, that it was capable of doing an outstanding job when it came to ones own plumbing needs at home and that their prices were very reasonable.  Well, it saddens me to say that the recommendations were wrong on both counts. This is based on my personal experience. I had been reaching out to Joe this whole time to see if by any chance we could settle this in a professional manner. As you can see this was never settled or I would not be writing this review.
It has been almost a year since Joe senior has performed his services on our property.  Now Joe is an ederly gentleman and owner of his company and presents himself as a professional should.  The day Joe came out to give me a bit on the job he was to do, we both got under my house and I showed him everything I wanted to be done.  I informed Joe that the house belonged to my 81 year old mother and I was there to make sure no one would take advantage of her, like it had been done before.  Now this was after Hurricane Harvey.  I was informed by some of my colleagues not to hire people from out of state because they were ripping off the elderly. So instead hire people that had their business in and around our towns. It made no difference.
After Joe and I had our walk thru and I thought we had made ourselves  perfectly clear about the job and the price, I  could return to working out of town without worrying.  Well, it didn't happen.  While I was gone Joe thought I guess he underbitted the job, he raised the price twice bitting the job by $800.00 more, but never remodifying the job by adding nor deleting anything.  not only did his company bit the job for more money but also left a mess inside our home as well as outside. I had to take care of that out of my own pocket as well.  He worked on our toilet and bathroom sink which he didn't do a very good job of stability.  I received a call from home that my mom had had a terrible accident in the bathroom.  She somehow lost her balance trying to get to the toilet and grabbed the sink which came out of the wall and fell backwards into the shower tub striking her head.  She was taken to ER where she was admitted for observation after a few hours she was released just a little banged up.  I thanked God she had not broken anything.  It took me a while to get my composure back before making a call to Joe's Plumbing. i did not want this getting out of hand or into a shouting match after all we are talking about a 81 year old lady that could have been hurt worst.
Anyway Joe's Plumbing did not take responsibilty for the work they provided. However they informed me that they would come out to the property and take a look at the work they performed almost a year ago, after I complained to them for a year.

Well, this goes to Joe's Plumbing Services & his employees, please do not come near my property or try to even fix things up for my mother.  You of all people Joe being an ederly yourself and going thru a disaster such as Hurricane Harvey take advantage of another ederly especially a woman.  Shame on you Joe's Plumbing Services.  It was a very expensive lesson that is one thing I can thank you for.  God Bless You!

I called this company based on the other reviews, however I did not have the same experience.If I could give half a star I would. He did complete the work, so one Star. What took the plumber less than 1 hour to fix, I paid him $160.00 He said that is his rate. It was a broken P trap that I gave him the parts for. So this was just for labor. Total rip off. He cleared a drain with a pipe cleaner,  and charged me $110. I thought that was Ok, a little high. But $160 for a P trap? It literally took him maybe 10 Min to fix this. I don't usually write reviews and I usually take it on the chin when something like this happens, however I Hope this will help somebody else not get taken advantage of by Joe's Plumbing.  When I asked him, respectfully, why it was so high, he Said, next time use your head and do it yourself and don't call me. How is that for a response to a customer question? Needless to say, $270 dollars in labor later, for very little work, I will not be calling this company again. 02/24/2015

Had a two hour window to get an estimate on what I figured would be about $20k worth of work.  They didn't show up.  Didn't bother to call letting me know they were going to run late or to reschedule the appointment.  I figure if they can't make it to an estimate on time or be courteous enough to let me know there was a problem I don't need them working on my house.

Joe's plumbing just completed the work agreed upon.  They were amazing!  I really felt like they treated my home and my belongings that needed moved, with utmost care.  The work that was done was explained to me very clearly and I was given a realistic explanation of what to expect during the work, as well as what to expect from the parts of my plumbing that we did not opt to replace at this time.  Absolutely recommend this business!!!!

Came over for an hours worth of work and overcharged me $280 to change a small fitting.  Scam.
