Next, our garbage disposal failed and Randy replaced it promptly. We didn't like the sound or efficiency of the replacement disposal so I bought a more expensive model at Home Depot and Randy replaced it. He will return the first disposal to his supplier for a credit because he agreed it wasn't acting properly. He charged us only $175 and he was here on two different days and worked quite hard to remove the broken disposal and readjust everything to receive a new one. (The $175 did not include the cost of the toilet work he did a month earlier.)
Randy is a great guy, very friendly and personable. His experience makes him quite valuable!
Randy Miser is our miracle plumber. We have been using his service since we moved in to our house 5 years ago. In February this year, we heard a dripping noise but couldn't find the source. Randy came over checked out several areas but nothing. Then we told him that there was a hot spot on the tiled floor. He examined and figured out it was a slab leak (leak under foundation). Very fortunately he suggested that we could re-route the piping instead of digging the slab foundation. Then we set an appointment and he and his son came by and finished up in one day. Saved us a lot of time and most importantly money. Slab leak can cause you thousands if your plumber doesn't come out with cost effective solution.
Previously we used Randy's service to change all 3 bathroom's fixtures for $850. Also we called him for pipe blockage for which he charged us $95. Highly recommend his service.
I called Miser vs. other plumbers. The owner is Randy Miser.
A couple of weeks later, Randy's son was called by the HOA to clean a common area problem that also involved
my unit. Randy's son did a great job and took time to explain what had happened.
Randy Miser and son Donny do excellent work. We have used them many times. In this visit Donny unclogged two sink drains in a small guest house on our property. The line to the outside is very old, and roots have grown into the line - these had to be cut.
My home water heater failed and I was forced to take a cold shower until it could be fixed. Burrrrr !
Randy Miser responded promptly to my call. I called Randy because he originally installed the GE gas heater in 2008.
Randy determined that the thermocouple had failed.
After installing a new thermocouple the heater worked for about 30 minutes and then failed again. It turned out that the safety regulator that modulates the gas flame was not operating properly and was allowing the temperature to overheat and burn out the thermocouple.
Randy called the manufacturer to order a new regulator and learned that it was not available anymore. The only alternative was to install a new water heater. Randy took the broken water heater to Home Depot and exchanged it for a new one.
Randy said that I’m entitled to a partial rebate on the cost of the new heater since the old heater was still within the five-year warranty. However, Randy was unable to talk to the Administrator since he was gone for the weekend.
As of this report Randy is still negotiating on my behalf in regards to the amount of the rebate.
Randy is very personable and competent. I’m very satisfied with his work and I appreciate that he’s still trying to get the highest rebate that he can for me.
Randy answered my call on my first try, and after I explained that the main outdoor water shut off valve to my house was corroded and leaking, he politely let me know that he was on another job, but that he could come by in the afternoon. He arrived within the two hour window that he had provided, calling first to let me know that he was on his way. He examined the faulty valve and explained two options that we could take. Since the price was reasonable, we chose to have the rusty valve replaced instead of simply tightened.
Randy completed the job within the time frame that he estimated -- without having to leave the site to purchase parts -- and within the price that he quoted us.
He also kindly took a look at another leaky outdoor valve for us upon my request, repaired the leak, and showed me how I could easily fix it myself, if I chose to, the next time if it ever leaked again.
The overall experience was excellent. I felt like I was in good hands from start to finish. I highly recommend Miser Plumbing!
