Rick showed up within 15 minutes of my call on a Friday morning. Not knowing what was going on (my husband works out of town) I really relied on Rick to guide me with the problem and the solution. Unfortunately, all of my plumbing was plumbed wrong and needed replaced along with a new water heater (that was dangerously connected with water running in the electrical part of the heater). Rick was booked up all day Friday and asked if I could wait until Monday. I told him I would rather not go the weekend without water and he immediately said "OK tomorrow it is", called the office and scheduled for 9:00am. He showed up on time, prepared and as other reviewers said loved my dogs! My plumbing looks beautiful now and I have found myself a plumber. Thanks Rick!!!

My experience was great. They were professional from the initial call to schedule the appointment all the way through until the job was completed. They communicated when the plumber would arrive and Chris was prompt and efficient to quickly identify the problem.

Two bathroom sinks and kitchen sink quit draining late on a Sat. morning. At about 3 pm, after trying to fix it myself, I checked Angies List and called McAdams Plumbing. Chris said he could have someone here in about 90 minutes and explained what the charges would be including $85 extra for a weekend job. He called me back with an ETA and Chris (a different one) showed up right on time at 415. He assessed the problem and told me where he thought the problem was. He snaked out the drain line and made sure everything was working. He got the kitchen floor a little dirty and I thought about giving him a "B" but it was a late call on a Saturday and he is a plumber cleaning out a drain line, not a housekeeper, so I gave them all As. Good work

McAdams customer service was great at first. They told me that the price would be up front and rates were and quot;standard.and quot; So I asked them to come by and do a couple of jobs for me. The first job was to install a new faucet piece in my bathroom. The job took around one hour and I they charged me $385.00. I thought the price was a little high but I went ahead and got it fixed. The second job was to fix a garbage disposal at my rental property which included a $45 trip charge. When he got there he found out there was a loose wire. It took him 2 minutes to fix it. He initially told me the $45 trip charge was good enough. Later a customer service agent called me back and said they had to charge me another $85 for a minimum job charge. I was very unhappy about this. Not only that I was charge the additional $85, but they also tacked on the $45 for a total of $130 for 2 minutes worth of work. Most companies deduct the trip charge if you proceed with the work. This companies adds to it. Overall, I was satisfied with the work. However, I will not calling them do do any more work for me. Prices are very expensive and they charge additional for trip charges. I felt more like a cash cow than a customer.

They were very professional in scheduling a visit for the very next day after I called, and were willing to make a specific appointment time rather than offering a large window of time. Because the rental house was located in Broomfield where they are based, there was no trip charge. They discovered that the problem was as simple as debris that had collected in the aerator. They cleaned it and were on their way, no charge, and followed up with me by phone to let me know the results. I would definitely use them again.

Rick - a master plumber, arrived on time. Was very courteous, and loved our little dog Roscoe! He explained what was wrong with the elevation of the toilet and that it would need to be re flanged before resetting the toilet. He replaced an outside spigot that had been damaged last summer. Rick was very efficient and thorough. I would definitely trust him for any repair or information/advice I might need in the future.

On Saturday morning I noticed that my vacuum breaker was dripping even though I had blown out the sprinklers the weekend before. I knew that the shut off valve in the crawl space was failing to close completely. I called Rick and explained my diagnosis.
Rick asked if I considered it an emergency, I quickly said no. He said they could come out the following week at my convenience. We couldn't come to a date (purely due to my schedule, they were more than willing to make it work) Rick then stated that they could do it today. He contacted Chris and he was there literally in 15 minutes even though it was not an emergency by any means. They did it solely to help me out at no additional cost for the weekend.
When Chris arrived he was professional and friendly. He went about his work without needing any additional direction and was in and out within a hour. He provided me a cost before the work. He used his Ipad and had the rates for the repair on the screen so a person would know exactly what was going to be done. After the work was completed he explained what he had found.
After it was over, I realized that I had found a problem, had a plumber out, got everything repaired correctly, and was back to enjoying my weekend with only a quick phone call. It was truly one of the easiest experiences I have had on a home repair. I also have faith that this is exactly the type of experience that Rick and his business wants for their customers.
Great experience with a plumber that I completely trust.

Everything went great. They had an emergency call so could not make the original time, but I was informed immediately and given options for when the work could be done. No problem at all for me.

I thought the main line needing clearing, and that is what I requested when I called them. But when Rick got there, he helped me see that it wasn't the main line that needed cleaning, but the kitchen/laundry line. He would have charged $185 for the main line, but he said what I needed was the $95 service. So he actually sold me on a less expensive service, because that's what I needed. The quality of the service and the professionalism and care displayed were also great. I am very pleased and will definitely patronize McAdams again.

I Called Mc Adam's to set up a visit to inspect my sump pump as there was some water standing in the hole, according to a home inspection. I was getting ready to sell my house and didn't have much time. Not only did Mr McAdams do the inspection, he went out, purchased a new pump and installed it that very day. Although it seemed a bit pricey, I did not really have the time to shop around and I was pleased to have it all taken care of prior to the sale of my home.

If you want excellent service call McAdams Plumbing.
My mother's master bedroom toilet overflowed on a Saturday evening and she had quite a mess. She told me the next morning during our phone call. I went to Angie's List and tried two of the listed 24 hour service companies to no avail. Since I wasn't going to get service for her on Sunday, I decided to call McAdams Plumbing early Monday morning. I called a little after 7:00 a..m. and found they were already on a job, but was told that they would arrive at her house between 9:00-10:00 a.m.. I arrived at her house at 9:00 a.m.. Rick and Chris arrived a little before 10:00 a.m. and had her toilet in working order 45 minutes later. The two of them couldn't have been nicer or more professional. Their prices were reasonable and they gave Mom a senior discount. Chris even took a bit of time with Mom to admire wall photos she wanted to show him that my father had taken. Her dog Toby even enjoyed his time around them.
Mom wishes to offer her thanks to them as well in this review.

The guy was really proud and said he saved me $200. He replaced the pipe coming out of the wall and the shower worked, but the pipe was still unsecured and flopping around. There is a little cap that covers the wall where the pipe comes out, the plumber didn't even secure that. My boyfriend had to come in and fix it. It was kind of mediocre work. It solved the immediate problem, but the total fix was incomplete.
Response from McAdams Plumbing
"First MP would like to apologize and say we were very concerned when we saw this review, which is why we contacted you directly. The work we performed on 22, September 2012 is under warranty, as stated on your invoice, therefore you could have called at any time to let us know that you felt as if the work was incomplete and we would have been happy to come out and take a look. We never received a call and therefore we could only assume based on our final interaction that you were satisfied. For this job we were called to fix a leak in the shower. When the serviceman arrived he offered an initial bid for $374.95 in order to repair the leak due to the fact that he needed to open the shower wall which was something that you did not want to do, but was necessary. When the serviceman got to work, however, he was able to replace the shower arm, where it turned out the leak was isolated, without opening the wall which brought the bill down to $189.95. You seemed very excited that he was able to save you this money and he was excited for that reason as well. We are very sorry if you thought he was being proud but at McAdams Plumbing it is our goal to save our customers money, so sometimes we get a little zealous. We did let you know that the shower arm supply (which runs from the valve to the wing-ell, located inside of the wall) was loose, but in order to fix that it would require us opening the wall, and therefore would be an additional charge. This was something you chose not to do. The shower arm supply was not leaking nor causing any plumbing problems, therefore we did not address it. Considering the call was to repair a leak, not to secure your shower arm supply (2 completely different services), nor was the securing of the shower arm supply requested, nor was the shower arm supply causing any plumbing problems, the service was not provided. The little cap you make mention of is called an escheon trim ring (for future reference). These are for aesthetic purposes mostly and are not meant to be tightly secured. This is standard plumbing practice. Again we apologize that you were unhappy with your service, but unless you let us know we have no way of making good on the situation. We hope that in the future you can find a company that can offer you the type of service you prefer. Best wishes! -MP"

Helpful in every way. Best plumber experience we have ever had.
They helped us find a mystery leak that 2 previous plumbers could not
identify. The problem ended up being the flooring around the shower
basin, which will require work from someone else.
This group is terrific. They were punctual, communicative, and very very helpful We highly recommend them.

McAdams showed up on time, inspected the toilet leak, assessed the parts needed (Kohler has many toilet styles so he had to order the parts kit). Said he would have to return when the parts were available. About 3 hours later, McAdams called and siad that he had the parts and would it be OK to come over to complete the repair. He arrived, fixed the toilet, and left. The plumber was most courteous and professional. A good experience. And he gave us the senior discount!

They turned the water off when we went away and then they turned it back on again in August. They really seemed to know what they are doing. I am very, very happy with them. I would use them again in the future.

Mr. McAdams was timely, prompt and did good work. That wasn't the problem. He told me that even though my hot water heater wasn't the source of the leak, it was nearing the end of it's life ( at 10 years old) I had other work going on in the house at the same time and just had him replace it. Later, I had another contractor in the house and told him about the leak and he found it in under five minutes at no charge. Mr. McAdams looked under the same sink and didn't find anything. I felt Mr. McAdams charged top dollar and didn't care about my problem.
Response from McAdams Plumbing
"Rick was called out for leak in water heater in basement, client found water on floor. There was an uncluttering company there at the same time. The water heater was not leaking and client was advised of such. Further conversation by client regarding water heater brought up life expectancy and client was advised it was reaching end of average life expectancy and client requested changed at that time. Price was 1255. installed with all haul away included and repipe. She than requested cat litter toilet installed. That was the extent. We truly apologize if we did not fully understand client needs, we did not get information on sink leak, discussion was on water heater and cat litter toilet. Water Heater cost is on average of 15% to 30% less than most competitor's. Client did have quite a bit of work going on at the same time with other individuals there. Client should of called us back and allowed McAdams Plumbing the opportunity to discuss any concerns they may have had, we truly appreciate our customers and we do our best to offer excellent service at competitve rates."
