When my outdoor water spigot broke off, Zoltan came to the rescue! Zoltan was professional, responsive and arrived the same day to make the repairs. His prices are unbeatable and he is fully licensed, insured and bonded. Zoltan was able to make the repairs in under two hours and we had our water back on before it became a huge burden.

Thanks again for your help, Zoltan!

P.S. He's a really friendly and respectful individual as well!

Zoltan is the real deal. We used him a few years ago to install a new sink, and then called him again this past week when our hot water heater stopped working.

He responds quickly, will send a text message confirmation of the appointment, is super nice and honest.

He provided a quote and was back within a couple of days to do the work and the price was exactly in the range provided.

He is so easy to work with and we will continue to call Zoltan whenever we need a plumber, highly recommend!!

i couldn't recommend Zoltan Plumbing enough. he was easy to contact and followed up with our appointment and was right on time. He was very friendly and walked me thru the process and gave pricing  along with details on the work. No overpricing or doing more than necessary. He cleaned up and disposed of any extra parts that were removed and most importantly did not leave until everything was in excellent working condition. I will happily use his services for other projects and would recommend him to anyone else needing excellent services. I Will appreciate him more than he'll ever know Thanks Zoltan!!!

Zoltan was great. He came out and gave us a fair estimate on our repairs. He was extremely organized, thought all things through and tripled checked everything to make sure there were no leaks. We will be hiring again for addition plumping work!

Excellent plumber in every way -- responsive and able to quickly come up with a creative solution to my difficult piping problem.  I have my kitchen sink back!  Plus reasonable rates and brought me Christmas candy to boot!  Zoltan is the best around and I'm so grateful I found him!  Will definitely be hiring him again.

Tried him again, loved him again.

Our house had a corroded drainage pipe that hooked to the master shower and a downstairs bathroom sink. He came out, did a great job, super price, bought me peanut butter cups! And everything works! It's been easy and I am so thrilled with the results. Thank you Zoltan!!!

As a homeowner, this is the kind of plumbing stuff we fear.

Expensively priced, plumber.  Incomplete/faulty job and then won't back up the their work.

Zoltan is initially responsive, came out immediately to provide a quote.
No price advantage. He was as costly as major companies. ($1,100)
But we wanted the job done right. Or, so we thought. So we hired him.

The job he said 'would take an entire day'. He finished in less than 4 hours...but charged the same ($1,100).
Hmmm, a bit suspect, but we paid in-full anyway.

And he left and saying if there any further problems, to call him.
Sure enough within 2 weeks, the same pipes began to leak again - actually this time, fairly aggressively. We called him immediately.

He was astonishingly belligerent, initially denying that anything he did was substandard (literally said, After I fix this, I never want to hear from you again!
But then he calmed down and apologized for the outburst.
Okay, that was seriously bizarre behavior. But we just wanted this solved.

He came out a second time.
This time he charged another $100. He said he used extra supplies.
Again suspect. But we just wanted this fixed and done with.

Now we have leaks again, precisely the same pipes. Within weeks of his work. At this point we will need to have same work completely redone.

$1,200 dollars completely wasted for leaky indoor, pipes.

Never would never call, or use him again.  
Neither should anyone.

Zoltan is great!!  Here replaced our garbage disposal earlier this year.  He recommended  we buy the unit through him as he knew what brand to look for and had one on hand.  He completed the installation in less than an hour.

He knows his business.  Zoltan will not start any step w/ out your approval.  He is very personable and his prices are very reasonable.  I will  definitely be calling him for any future needs.

Our water heater is 14years old and I have a feeling it will start to die soon.  He's in my contacts so I'm totally prepared to one touch dial him.  

Zoltan!!!  Please help us STOP the madness!!!

Zoltan The Plumber is absolutely the best plumber around. He is very pleasant and friendly.    We had a sewer line break and he came out on a Saturday and did the work that day. Guarantees his work. Honest up front.   Very knowledgeable and a very hard worker.   Finished the job sooner than expected.  Price was very reasonable. Less than the other major companies.  He earned these 5 stars by his quality of work.  We will definitely recommend Zoltan and use him again if needed.  (Not like the other major ripoff company that charged an hour for 10 minutes of work and 50 minutes of talk.)  
Thank you Zoltan!

If you are looking for a plumber you can count on, look no further. Zoltan did a major repair to home due to water damage.  He installed toliet, bath tub, a new shower drain and all finishing work for two bathrooms and laundry. His prices are fair and plumbing skills are excellent.  I would not hesitate to hire him again or refer to a friend.  What I really appreciated was his word.  He was always on time, if running late he would call and would always answer his phone call and texts.

Quickly diagnosed and repaired our upstairs bathroom one piece bath shower that was leaking into the downstairs bathroom exhaust fan. He is very much an expert and has fair pricing. Participates in covid precautions. Highly recommend.

Absolutely awful. He was five hours late from the time I was told. Came in, cut me off several times while I was trying to explain and didn't let me demonstrate the problem. Incredibly rude, left without closing the door (I have an indoor cat!).

Thankfully my landlord was able to get someone in that was willing to do the work, and they did a phenomenal job. There was a pipe that had backed up and burst in the wall, and they were willing to get it done with no hassle. Unfortunately, by the time they were able to get the call, there was water damage in three floors of units.

Definitely would not recommend this guy.

Zoltan is very committed to his work. He communicated what he thought was the best approach and made every effort to provide fair, reasonably priced service. He was flexible in terms of my schedule on an extensive and complex remodel.

I always advise friends to contact Zoltan when they are looking for help with plumbing.
Zoltan recently contacted me because he thought I had left him a bad review, it turns out the reviewer lives in Texas so I believe the posting was in error. It is also the only negative review I have seen regarding his work.

Zoltan has fixed numerous plumbing issues at my house over the last 6 years (it was built in 1942). He has always squeezed me in the same day I call. His prices are fair and he does good work.

I have worked with Zoltan twice, once for a gas line & once for a leaking bathroom vanity.
Each time he was ontime & after looking at the job quoted me a price & stuck to it.

I will call Zoltan again.

Zoltan tried to charge my wife and I $700 for what ended up being a $15 part and only required a screwdriver. I did the repair myself. Afterwards, he threatened my wife wife over the phone for breaking the contract and said he would contact his lawyer. Needless to say, don't deal with this guy.

After purchasing my new home, I found out that my new plumbing was all done incorrectly. What a devastating feeling for my first home purchase. No one wants to live in a house that smells like sewage. After calling several big plumbing companies and being told that they couldn't do much within my budget, I called Zoltan.

Zoltan came to my home first thing in the morning, on time and with a smile on his face. It took him all of 1 minute to see that I needed some major work. He explained everything to me, the options I had, and how he would get the job done. For the first time, I felt like I had someone that knew what he was talking about and seemed to care about our situation and he WANTED to help us. (It's bad when a plumber wears a mask in your house)

I decided to go with him. Zoltan re piped about 90% of my house and brought it up to code. He was hardworking, prompt, and honest. Anything I needed or didn't need, he told me. Not only was he neat, he found a way to get the job done without touching any of my walls! That was what scared me. Probably a rare case, but he got it done!

I trusted him to work in my house alone and each day that I came home, you couldn't even tell that he was there. He cleans up well after himself. I felt zero pressure about anything he recommended. He is only there to help your situation, not sell you stuff. He left the job complete and made sure that everything was good to go (and safe) for my family. And best of all, he guarantees his work because he never expects any problems after he is done.

As upset as I was, Zoltan made me love my home purchase again. His prices are very fair and I will be recommending him to anyone that asks.

Zoltan, you are a lifesaver. Thank you so much for all that you have done for my family.

I needed a leaking toilet replaced and found Zoltan the Plumber on here Yelp. It was a busy week for him but he was able to squeeze me in that same day. I left work and we met up at my condo right away. Zoltan was very nice and professional and my pets loved him! He took away the old toilet and replaced with the new one very quickly. When I returned to work I showed Zoltan's invoice to a guy and he said it was a good price. Highly recommend!

Zoltan is a great person. He really goes above and beyond to get the job done. I had a problem that I could not figure out so I gave him a call. The same day he showed up and figured it out for me. He's price was fair and he was diligent in troubleshooting and fixing the problem. I will be using him again!

I really liked working with Zoltan.  Just like the business name suggests, when you call Zoltan the Plumber, you get Zoltan himself.  My condo tenants had already been out of hot water for a day before I started calling for service.  This could easily have become an emergency, as the first nearly dozen places I called either were booked, didn't want to deal with condos, didn't work in Belltown, or specifically didn't work on water heaters.
Zoltan was also extremely busy, but managed to arrange for coming out within a few hours of when I called, and even gave an itemized estimate over the phone.  He did a complete replacement of the heater, to my tenants' delight.  Tenants even said he left no trace of the work!
I'll call Zoltan again for plumbing work.

I found him on craigslist.  He came on a Saturday and replaced pipes and installed a new dishwasher.  Very professional and friendly.  His pricing was the best we found and the work was great.  We will be using him again for more projects.  Highly recommended.

What a great guy and a great plumber. He's prompt and very professional. He took his time and was very careful with my old plumbing so as not to break anything.

Zoltan was very fair as far as the pricing of my job. I know for a fact that other plumbers would have charged 50% higher. I think that being an independent plumber lets him set the prices as he sees fit and gives him the freedom to take a little longer to ensure the job is done at the highest standard.

Plus, he's a great guy to talk with about plumbing and life for an hour!

I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Zoltan saved me a lot of time and money! I had people renting my House and needed a old badly leaking shower system replaced & rebuilt. Zoltan put me at the top of his list, showed up the same day, was quick, friendly,affordable, and out the door within a couple of hours. He made a plumbing emergency turn into an quick quality fix. Keeping his number on hand for sure!

Would call them again without hesitation.
Thanks!

Zoltan the plumber installed shower enclosure & rerouted water line and  new drain to accommodate the remodeling.  He is on time and did a good job. He was so efficient in all aspects  that he made it look too easy so my only complaint is I thought the cost should've been maybe a hundred bucks less.  Then again finding someone as  competent & skilled is probably worth every penny.

Worth the 5 Star rating!   Zoltan has been amazing.  Not only did he take care of the issues we had at the office, he has made himself available for any questions I may have had as well.  If he is in your area of service, you need to give him a call.

Zoltan was amazing. He did all the work on time, he was super clear in communicating what we needed to do and when he could do it, he handled everything with the inspector, and his rates were the best. I'm definitely keeping his number handy for any future projects, and I highly recommend him for yours.

Zoltan helped install a shower pan, hardware and move a drain.  I had three bids, his was by far the lowest, and he backed up his work. He was punctual, communicated well and got the job done ahead of schedule - even though he had to do a couple other things to ensure the job was done right - didn't charge anything extra.  Very fair - I would recommend and will use him again in the future.

Zoltan is the best! He returned my call promptly, came by the next day, and gave me an estimate that was half of what another company had quoted, and did all the work in a timely and professional manner. We now have full usage of our previously leaky sink and normal water pressure!

He really went above and beyond, making helpful suggestions and explaining everything in detail for us. He was a very good communicator in person and by phone throughout the whole process. We will 100% be calling on Zoltan again for our future plumbing needs.

Zoltan performed a whole house repipe for us and did an amazing and very competitive job. His bid was under those of several larger plumbing companies, and he completed the work, at or better than code called for, in less time than those companies had estimated their plumbers could. I found Zoltan to be knowledgeable, experienced, and  quite reliable. I have used him for repair work since then and I also been extremely satisfied.

Although Zoltan is a likeable plumber I found on Craigslist, several factors influenced me to write this review.  So while I really wanted to root for this independent company, I could not do so for the reasons below.

1. He told me over the phone he'd charge $80 for the diagnostic, but instead charged $107 ($98+tax)
2. Since he wanted cash for the job, he pressured my husband to go to get a generic faucet head
3. Said the quote was discounted if we wrote a positive Yelp review for him
4. Called Sears and got a slightly cheaper quote (although that, too, had undisclosed fees which added an almost extra $300)
5. Quoted for an expansion tank which is not required where we live (but is for a neighboring jurisdiction) -- which added a part + labor
6. Couldn't come back until five days later, and only if we notified him within a day

Nothwithstanding the above, our service call did have some positive aspects.

1. Arrived early instead of late
2. Licensed plumber according to state law (which a lot of Craiglist plumbers aren't)
3. Accurately diagnosed the problem
4. Friendly, courteous, and clean
5. Brought a piece of carpeting with him so as to not damage our floor
6. Like many reputable businesses, he did take a check

We found Zoltan on Craigslist.  He came the day I called to give us an estimate for new hot water heater and was back the next day to install.  His price was considerably better than the other two plumbers we had contacted.  He was helpful and pointed out other items in the furnace and hot water heater closet that we did not know were possible future problems.

I almost forgot to mention his price was the lowest and he gave us better quality replacement than the other quotes.  He provided great service.  We will call again if we need a plumber.

Also, unlike other plumbers he did not pressure or use dishonesty tactics to get us to pay for things we didn't want.  In contrast, Greenhouse plumbing had tried to tell us our old water heater was from 1985 even though it was built in 2006.

Zoltan is an indy plumber, local to my area.  I've lived here 30 years, and often seen his van around town.  I found his contact info here on yelp.

Lately, I've been having some sewer issues. Contacted a few plumbers.  Zoltan was fast and responsive to my request for a quote.  He provided a reasonable estimate, showed up on time for the work, listened to my preferences as we uncovered the sewer and learned new things, finished when he said, and even came back the next day for a minor tweak, even though I had already fully paid him.   On top of all that hard work, he's a great character and full of life.  I'm comfortable recommending him, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Zoltan was fantastic! We called and managed to get an apt on the same day. He was prompt, quick, and extremely reasonable price wise.  He took time to explain what needed to be replaced, and even showed us why. He did not try to sell things we didn't need, very ethical. I would highly recommend him and plan on using him again if ever the need arises.

Zoltan is professional, trustworthy and knowledgeable.  We had a kitchen pipe-to-sewer line, a new kitchen faucet with sink drains, and a new garbage disposal installed (plus neatly cut the dry wall ceilings to get the pipe and cleaned-up afterwards).  He did all this in one day last week and everything works like a charm!  No leaks and I'm such a happy gal :).  He also added a 10-year work guarantee!  We will use him for all our future plumbing needs.  Call Zoltan The Plumber if you want someone who can get the job done and done right!

Zoltan is an honest, hardworking and knowledgeable plumber.  He is skilled and experienced at any plumbing task and more.  He has vast experience with home renovations including furnace repair and installation, plumbing projects, simple installations to major repairs, to water heater installations. Zoltan installed my water heater and he is currently working on renovating three bathrooms for me.  His prices are reasonable and he is punctual and dependable. Zoltan is who you want to hire if quality and reasonable prices are your criteria.

Zoltan the Plumber was fantastic - he had great communication, explained everything he would do, worked extremely hard to complete two major jobs, including a new pipe on my water main, in a little over 90 minutes.  His prices were fair and he was proud of his work and happy to stand behind it for the next ten years.  I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a unique and extremely good plumber.  Will absolutely hire him again for all my plumbing needs.

Zoltan was awesome.  Usually I have so-so expectations from Craigslist.  But I contacted him on a weekend and he responded promptly via email.  My toilet had a busted flange and was loose on the floor. By Monday afternoon my toilet was fixed!!  For a reasonable price.

As other's have pointed out he is a very good communicator, on time, courteous and informative.  He also has  high standards for his work which is really appreciated in this day and age.  That does not mean he forces you into spending more money though.  He was very helpful in helping me make the decisions of do I need to do this the absolute perfect right way or do I do it another way that will be okay [both ways within code] - there's a time and place for either solution.  It was very refreshing to have someone layout options.

Zoltan is great.  I'm happy to have a resource like him. He is getting me quotes to change my water heater and I will be referring him to my family and friends. He' is also a very pleasant person to have in your home - a good guy.

We needed a plumber...BAD.  Rusted pipes...clogs..the whole nine yards.  Zolton came and fixed it all for a great price.  He was very nice and did exactly what he said he would do in a very timely manner.  I honestly thought some things where beyond repair but he worked his magic and fixed them.  Plus..we are a house full of woman and we felt comfortable and safe having him in the house.  I would recommend Zolton to anyone who has any plumbing needs!!! Thank you Zolton!!!

We were installing a hydronic heating system and needed a plumber to assist with assembling the mechanicals and piping.  The plumber who was going to help out bailed on us so we brought Zoltan in to have a look.  He had no experience with these systems but was up to to the challenge and agreed to come in the next morning at 9 am.  Admittedly, there were some apprehensions but Zoltan was there at 9 prompt and cheerfullly worked diligently without stopping until the system was assembled.  He then came by the next morning to stand by while we tested the system in case there were any problems.  Zoltan saved our bacon in a big big way!

Prompt, dependable, cheerful, and conscientious, Zoltan is a great guy!

I recently purchased a condo, and did some remodeling of my kitchen and bath. But yesterday I came home to the sound of lots of water leaking under the kitchen sink. Hok Tran, the person who installed the cabinets and did the plumbing in the kitchen and bath did not do a good job at all, so I immediately turned off the valves and took to the internet searching for a plumber. I connected with Zoltan who said he could come out in about an two hours. He called me when he was on his way and arrived when he said he would. I knew that it was not a major problem because the supply line and all the valves were new, but I did not have the tools or the expertise to fix the problem. Zoltan immediately saw that the valves were not tightened properly and even fixed another small leak where the other contractor had installed the wrong part. He got it done quickly and charged a fair price. I am very happy with his work and would definitely call him again for any other plumbing needs.

Zoltan did a fine job on my home plumbing needs. I remodeled by bathroom (DIY) and needed plumbing re-routed and updated. He quoted me a price that seemed fair, and I knew it was less than the larger competitors. My home was built in 1900, so of course there were more needs than just re-routing the pipes. He was clear with me what he was suggesting, and offered several options, depending on how long I expected to be in the home. I went with the option to replace a problematic area (drain) and he did a great job. I would recommend!

Zoltan is great!  Excellent plumber who walk you thru every step. My job was much bigger than anticipated -- broken disposal instead of stuffed drains. He went out and bought a new disposal, installed it, snaked the pipes, checked and rechecked, cleaned up, and charged me for the original hour he had estimated, although he was here for four. Friendly and courteous too. A gem!
