They came in, did the job and left. They went right to work. It probably only took them 45 minutes and the job was really well done.

The service provided was perfect. They came the same day I called them.
Response from Dolcini Plumbing Inc
"Thank you for your review. We are aware of how unexpected and inconvenient it is to have your hot water heater go out; it can easily bring things in your household to a halt. We make it a high priority to get your new water heater installed as soon as possible with as little hassle as possible so that you can keep the hot showers and clean clothes coming. Thank You for taking the time to give us a review and Happy Holidays to you and yours."

I was very pleased because he worked very hard while he was here and was very efficient.  He was also on time and I would use him again in a second.  The price was very reasonable.

Very good job. Much more (new hoses, valve, etc) than needed. 3 hours labor for 1.5 hours of work. So the phone description of what was needed must count as labor cost (like lawyers).
Response from Dolcini Plumbing Inc
"Thank you for your concerns. We always try to meet the requests of our customers if possible and we are honest and straight forward about the effects that your request will have in regards to your job. In this case you had requested that rather than pulling both toilets consecutively you had wanted us to leave one working for your use. In response to your request, our technician had advised you that this would add at least another 45mins. to your job and we respectfully concessed to work on each toilet separately in order to meet your needs. We had originally given you a time frame of approximately 2hrs. to perform this work prior to your request and providing that there were no unforeseen issues. As you are aware, there were additional issues that contributed to the time factor regarding your job. We found that both of your toilets had bent and broken closet flanges that needed to be repaired before we could reset each toilet. In addition, our technician will always point out any other issues he finds and review these issues with you as he goes along; such as parts that are worn out and need to be replaced or will need to be replaced in the future. We do not warranty re-used parts; we do however warranty any parts we supply as well as our labor for a year on the work that was performed. Therefore, when issues like these are brought to our Customer’s attention, many of our Customer’s choose to install new hoses, valves, etc. in order to get the maximum benefit of the repairs that are being made. As you know, our technician will always leave that decision up to you. We do not perform unauthorized work. Thank you for your response."

Wow!  Jason Dolcini was prompt, efficient, capable, and friendly!
He spread tarps over the entire bathroom floors and vacuumed repeatedly, leaving NO MESS!  When he encountered a weak input line, he brought it to our attention and asked what we wanted to do--keep it or replace it.  We opted to replace it.  He did a wonderful job.  We highly recommend him and will certainly use Dolcini again.
Response from Dolcini Plumbing Inc
"Thank you for your spectacular review; it was truly a pleasure working with both you and your husband. It is of great importance to us to make sure we leave your home in the same condition as when we walked in, with one exception, your plumbing should now be in good working order. We also feel it is important to point out any discrepancies that we may find along the way, so that as our customer, you may make an educated decision as to how you would like to proceed. In this fashion, together we may keep your plumbing working correctly and to its highest potential for many years to come. Thank you again for your business and for sharing your experience with other Angie's List customers."

OVERALL EXCELLENT SERVICE
Response from Dolcini Plumbing Inc
"Considering we serviced your home once prior to you relocating to another City, and the fact that you took the time to rate us on Angie’s List really speaks for itself. It really shows the caliber of Customers that we provide service to. We really appreciate that you took the time to let other Customers in the area know what you thought about us and we will miss having you as a client. We wish you the best in your new City."

I was able to make an appointment for the next morning. They called about 1/2 hr before appointment, arrived in time. Excellent fast service. The price is somewhat high, but you get what you paid for. I would recommend the company to others.
Response from Dolcini Plumbing Inc
"We thank you greatly for your reply and we appreciate that you took the time to share a detailed account of your experience with us for other Angie’s List Customers to review. As you know, we do have a one hour minimum charge, so we thank you for your sound advice to other Customers by letting them know that it is best to do the once around your home and get all your plumbing issues addressed at once. Most of us are familiar with the fact that at some point in time we encounter what seems to be a minimal but annoying problem that gets put on the back burner due to limited time or funds; such as a guest toilet that doesn’t work right or a leaking faucet. However, once these items have been repaired, I guarantee you’ll wonder why you bothered to learn to live with it. We know your home is your castle; your comfort is our concern. Let’s keep all the amenities in your home functioning properly so you and your family can enjoy the use of them for years to come. We appreciate your business greatly."

I had a backed-up kitchen sink and contacted Dolcini Plumbing after receiving a referral from Angie's list. I was greeted professionally on the phone and explained my plight. I was given an appointment time, hourly rate and payment explanation along with name of plumber responding. Fifteen minutes prior to the plumber's arrival, I received a phone call notifying me an estimated time of arrival. Once the Plumber arrived he was professional and personable. He completed the job in a timely manner and I felt satisfied with his explanation for the cause of the back-up. Overall, I was given clear expectations and believe those were met. If I have any further plumbing needs Dolcini Plumbing will get my business.
Response from Dolcini Plumbing Inc
"We really appreciate your business and we have always believed that word of mouth is still our best advertisement; we thank you for your feedback. We know how inconvenient a backed-up Kitchen sink can be and we are happy that as a first time customer you have chosen to share with other Angie’s List customers’ exactly what they can expect as a response from us. Regardless, whether your plumbing needs are small or large, we look forward to helping you in the future. Thank you for your response."

They had it all planned out with 2 people. First they removed the old water heater, then installed the new water heater and checked all the plumbing associated with the water heater. After that project was finished one person worked on the water filter install and the other worked to fix the leaky pipe. It went fairly smoothly. They knew what to do and had the parts they needed when they encountered any problems. I liked them and would definitely call them again if I have plumbing project.
Response from Dolcini Plumbing Inc
"We appreciate your business and thank you for the great review. As we’ve pointed out before, when you’ve already been inconvenienced, it can be difficult to open your home for repairs. It is our goal to get the job done right the first time in order to restore your home as quickly as possible."

After finding out that a contractor I used had done a poor job resulting in a chronic leak in a supposedly new faucet, I was lucky enough to find Dolcini Plumbing! Bill was able to make a repair. Alas, we expect it only to last a few years, but the thought of tearing out tile that was done in 2009 was unfathomable. I dealt with Dolcini via long distance. They coordinated with my tenant to schedule the work. I received a glowing report from my tenant who is meticulous. He even used booties! The faucet no longer leaks or wastes water. The tenant and I are both happy!
Response from Dolcini Plumbing Inc
"Here at Dolcini Plumbing, we make an extra effort to bridge the gap between Owners and Tenants. Often it is difficult to get a clear visual of what is going on at your rental home when you live out of town or out of state. We do our best to keep your tenants happy while providing a remedy for any issues you or your tenants may have, as well as keeping you updated on work being performed at your home. Thank you."

They are prompt, dependable and have always done a good job. I like them. They are also not creepy to have around our kids. Their pricing is comparable to everyone that we have priced, but we like them better. They always show up.
