I called the number and they said someone would call me back. Laughlin called me back a couple of days later and said he wouldn't be in my area until Friday (about three days later.) He said he would call me to confirm. Never heard from him again.
Description of Work
I have a Geberit toilet with an in-wall tank. The tiolet is not flushing properly. Even though Geberit is everywhere in Europe, it turns out that there are not many plumbers who service them in LA. Geberit gave me Laughlin as the closest plumber.

Our call was answered with in hours of leaving a message and an appoinment scheduled. We got a confirmation call the morning of the appointment and Jessie was here in the time frame we were given. We had a very loose facet handle in our powder room that required tools that we did not have. Jessie addressed this first and then was requested to several other very small jobs. All were addressed. Jessie was knowledgeable and completed all that was asked of him. We appreciated his assistance and would use Laughlin Plumbing again.
Description of Work
We had several very small jobs and Jessie took care of everything. We had a powder room faucet that needed tightening and required special tools. That along with a few jobs even less complicated, but necessary were addressed.

See above. It went fine--I called the service, Laughlin returned my call within the hour, we set an appointment that afternoon, the plumber was right on time, he explained everything while he was working (no stopping work to yak about the Dodgers, as one electrician several years ago wanted to do), and shook my hand upon leaving. I haven't had a plumber at the house in three or four years, so I'm uncertain what the going rate per hour is--which is why I marked and quot;Priceand quot; and quot;Fair.and quot;
Description of Work
Repaired leak at outside, underground pressure regulator with a new supply seal. Repaired leaking kitchen sink faucet with new seats and springs (owner-supplied). Plumber's truck was immaculate, inside and out. Plumber explained his work, recommended that I have the pressure regulator moved above-ground, and was courteous, pleasant, and had a sense of humor.

I called Laughlin Plumbing because the shower in our master bath would not turn off immediately (the dial would just keep turning and eventually the water would stop dripping, usually a 20 minute process). They came out the next day to take a look, the technician opened the fixture to look at the gears, and we discovered they were completely corroded. The tech took a picture of the part, as there was no manufacturer listed (we bought the house as a short sale, so no information was left for us). They took several weeks to acutally locate the part (again, based solely on a picture), which was finally found in the UK. The part took about a week to get here, but well worth the wait. We had actually contemplated replacing everything as we orinigally could not find the part. The only reason I gave them a and quot;Band quot; on Responsiveness was that it took 1, or 2, weeks and 2 phone calls from me to get a response after the initial visit, letting me know that they were still searching for the part. After that, Richard has been very communicative through every step of this process. I really think they went above the call of duty to find this part, I feel that many companies just take the easiest route these days. Also, they are the 3rd company I've had out for this problem, and the first to actually figure out the problem. The other 2 told me there was nothing wrong with the shower...fortunately for them, I can't remember there names (through our home warranty company). I would definitely recommend Laughlin Plumbing and will continue to use them for all of our plumbing needs.
Description of Work
Replaced valve in shower that was corroded and wouldn't turn water off. I am not sure on the cost of this job yet as they are sending me a bill, but when I spoke to Richard he said the part was about $250-300, plus labor, so I will update that once I know for sure.

Excellent work and service. Did a beautiful job on installing the dishwasher in our old craftsman with awkward and very limited space. They suggested different solutions to creating an airgap, and luckily the easiest (and least expensive) worked. Very pleased. They are also very straightforward and honest--I had earlier called one of the big chains that advertises 99$ for clearing a shower drain--the plumber from the chain claimed that the shower drainage pipes were far too narrow to clear the clog and that there clearly was a problem that needed to be inspected, which resulted in cutting seven major holes in ceilings and walls to look for the problem and then he claimed it would be about 5000$ to fix all the plumbing out of the shower and tried to pressure me into opening up the ceilings in other rooms to check all the plumbing in both of our upstairs bathrooms and the two downstairs!..... (Plus he charged me for cutting the holes!). Laughlin's folks were over twice, cleared the drain easy breezy and said it seemed to be fine, but that b/c the ceiling was open, if we wanted to update the plumbing it would be a good time to do it. But no pressure to do it, and really sensible about it all.
Description of Work
Installed a Miele dishwasher in a very difficult spot and created an airgap for the dishwasher; also fixed a leaking gasline; some other small miscellaneous work, and cleared and inspected upstairs shower drain that had been giving us problems for year.

They responded to my phone calls, were prompt and friendly. They knew what they were doing. He also came in a second time to correct a problem and did not charge me anything extra for the visit. He is great and I would recommend him.

I broke the kitchen faucet, so he came and replaced it with a new one in an hour and a half.

The plumber did show up on time. He was very clean as well. I chose to go with this company because they were the ones who originally installed the toilet and it was under warranty. I have been using this company for years and have always been happy with them. They are very honest people.
Description of Work
I had them replace the entire inside of the tank in the toilet in my master bathroom. This work was covered under warranty.
