First Call Plumbing

Excellent service

They were timely and punctual and did what I asked them to do.

Nick was great! We had a pilot light that wouldn't stay lit. He first adjusted the thermocouple and got it going but, of course, it went out again after he left. He came right back and replaced the unit. He was very friendly and did a much more professional job than the plumber who installed the last one back in 2000. I wouldn't hesitate to call First Call again.

Leak was quickly located and repaired in a matter of minutes. Work was performed by Nick, a skilled professional who is quite personable & polite. Thank you so much for the speedy response and fix!

We called First Call Plumbing based on our first good experience with the provider.  I rated punctuality as B because the main office mismanaged my first appointment.  On the second appointment, I was given an estimate of $85/hour for 2 hours of work. On the day of the service, Todd arrived at 8am and started work at 8:10. Pace of work was moderate but he entertained at least one phone call during work and he arrived with only one hose for the two water heaters that needed to be drained. I provided another hose so draining could be done in parallel. Work was completed at 10:10. The bill was written for 2.5 hours of work + parts. I objected to the extra half hour charge. I was told that the additional ten minutes was rounded up to the next half hour. I pointed out that he started work at 8:10 and he took a phone call so he only worked for 2 hours. I was told "it is what it is". I said that I expected more from First Call, I was told "Do you know how difficult it is to run a business with workman's comp and travel expense? I would loose money if I charge you any less." I said I fully appreciate the tough competitive climate and that's why I wanted to support your business model and called you, but if you were going to lose money shouldn't you have reflect that in your bid and estimate? I was told that "Had I quoted you for $100/hour you would not have hired me". We will continue to consider First Call based on our excellent first experience with them, however, experiences such as the above does considerable damage to the environment of trust they work so hard to create - hence a B.

As expected, excellent.  Thank you Jordan:)

Overall estimate to repair all the plumbing was very high.  I was able to find another reputable plumbing company to do the work at 50% less and in a much quicker timeframe.

First Call is very professional and competent, just not competitive in repair costs with other established companies.

Excellent service all around!  What a relief to finally locate a great local plumbing company.  My call was promptly responded to and Rod was at my house within 1.5 hrs. The work was quickly & professionally done by Jordon, who even wore booties in the house. In addition he was able to unclog my eyeglasses from the toilet drain, at no charge! 
My entire experience with "First Call Plumbing" was AAA+ therefore I sincerely recommend them without hesitation and will use them for all of my future plumbing work.

Excellent service! The work was professionally done and the serviceman was highly competent and efficient and on time. I was impressed with the office manager who was friendly and able to schedule the service right away. My whole experience with this company was positive and I would recommend them without hesitation. On a scale of one to ten, I give them a resounding eleven.

Rod and his crew wewe always on time and very professional.  i would not hesitate to use them again.  This is the second job they have done for me.  I am very satisfied.

It went very well. They were very professional, straightforward and they submitted the information to the insurance company for me. I had no problem and they're very competitive. They also do emergency insurance work and they were here the day I called them.

I have had a great plumber for a few years, but he is having trouble serving my area.  I needed to find a closer plumber. I tried a few local guys and they never even called me back. I decided to try Angie's List and eventually spoke with Rod. Despite the Memorial Day holiday and manpower issues he was having, he made time to come out and take care of us. Looked like it was going to be a piece of cake, but my unit ended up having a non-standard connection.  He had to go to the store to get the correct fitting. He did not change his estimate.  The connection is perfect.  He thought of a better way to do it than I would have if I diy'ed it (I am not a good amateur plumber!). I feel good that the work is done right and my wife sleeps better at night knowing that a professional worked on the gas instead of me.
Rod also took time to look at a drain I need to have fixed and we will be doing that soon.  I highly recommend using him.

We were smelling gas from our hot water heater and called the gas company.  They identified the problem but said we'd need a plumber to fix it.  First Call was billed as doing emergency repairs, so we called them.  A plumber came out within a couple of hours, repaired the controller, and told us the water heater was still under warranty (we'd just bought the house and had no idea), so the part would be covered, and we'd only need to pay for the labor of replacing it.  He really seemed to know his trade; I'd definitely hire them again.
