Work went fine and I have a new working garbage disposal; I had an Angie's List coupon but the plumber refused to take since he was not charging me an additional service fee. I agreed to that but when he left, I called the office and the manager or who ever runs the office said he should have given me the discount and sent me a refund for that amount of coupon. Other than that mix up everything went fine.
Description of Work: Replaced the garbage disposal.

A call was made at 9 AM and answered same day around noon. Justin, the serviceman, was courteous and totally professional in every respect. House call fee was waived and discount coupon was applied to price. A two years warranty was given on parts and labor. 100% satisfaction. Will certainly use this company again and recommend it to anyone.
Description of Work: Garden hose faucet had a leak and could not be turned off completely because of defective valve. Justin removed bib from main and sweated new ball valve bib. Job was finished promptly and satisfactorily.

Having formerly been a manager of commercial properties, I was thoroughly impressed. I'd absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: After having drainage problems from a toilet and bathroom sink, I called Scotto's based on their reviews in Angie's List. They came out, corrected the problem and gave me alternate solutions along with the potential costs and downsides. They were honest, courteous and cleaned up after they were done. Having formerly been a manager of commercial properties, I was thoroughly impressed.

Scotto came out on 3/21/08 (for what I thought was to be a repair) and gave us an estimate ($49.00) to repair four of our toilets. We were unaware that they were coming for an ESTIMATE- we thought they were coming to make the repairs. We had used this company before and didn't ask for an estimate - only wanted the repair. They gave an estimate and said it would be 4-6 weeks before the parts came in. 4/14/08 they called and said the wrong parts came in. 5/16/08 I called and they said our American Standard parts were not in yet (we have Kohler toilets, so I don't know what that meant). I am just guessing they again ordered the wrong parts. 5/20/08 I called again and they said they were at the mercy of Kohler and the parts were not yet in. At that point I cancelled the order. I really needed my toilets to be repaired. The thing that irritated me the most (besides the over two-month wait) was that I was charged for an estimate even though we were a prior customer - and we did not ask for an estimate. WE ASKED FOR A REPAIR. The other annoying thing was that they never communicated with me during this two-month wait (except for telling me the wrong parts were in). We contacted someone else and had our repairs done in 8 days (WITH NO CHARGE FOR AN ESTIMATE).
Description of Work: Called Scotto's to repair four of our toilets.

Our toilet had been backing up often so I decided to call Scott's to see what could be done. John came out during the time frame I had been told. He used a heavy duty snake and roots came back up when he took it out. The toilet was 22 years old and required lots of water to flush. John told me about the toilets that Scotto's carry. The brand is ToTo, designed in Japan but made in the USA. His description sold me on the idea of buying this toilet. He arrived on time on May 6th and went right to work. He had me look at what he found once he had the old toilet out. The drain was tight with roots for at least 12 inches. He cleaned the area around the flange real good and some down the pipe. He had to put metal pieces on the flange as the roots had pushed on the underside, causing the flange to crack. The new ToTo Drake ADA toilet was installed and I couldn't be happier with it! It only takes 1.6 gallons of water to flush and it's like a cyclone! The tank fills faster then I can wash my hands. The toilet itself is one and a half inches taller then the old one and that makes a big difference to me, with my bad back. I was given a ten percent senior discount and was not charged for the trip. I am pleased to say that once again, Scotto's came to the rescue! I would recommend Scotto's to anyone who has a plumbing problem!
Description of Work: New toilet had to be installed.

They saved me about $40 on installation, rather than going with where I purchased the heater from. He hauled the old heater away for $20. He did an excellent job. He cleaned up mess and gave me same day service. He gave me a $15 off coupon for the next time I use them.

I was outside while they were doing the work. They told me there was no leak. They ended up drilling holes in the wall on the other side of the vanity to find out where the leak was coming from, even though it was coming from outside. They then ended up installing a new fixture in the bathtub which was just fine to begin with. When I told them that I had not authorized the work they informed me that my husband had authorized for them to do the work. My husband however had an accident and is not physically capable of making decisions. I even showed them a notarized letter indicating this to them. I had to go back outside to deal with another company that I had at the house. When I came back in 20 minutes later they had the part in and my husband was writing him a check. I questioned the worker about this because the estimate was supposed to be free. He informed me that he put in a whole new set for my bathtub, I told him that I didn't need this. I then asked him to take the fixtures out and put my old fixtures back in. He told me he couldn't do that because it would be too much work. He then told me he was going to call his supervisor. When he came back in the worker told me that his supervisor said that we would have to pay because my husband had authorized the work. They wouldn't even give me a discount. I would not use them again and would not recommend them.

They're nice, prompt, and know what they're doing.
Description of Work: I've used this company twice in the past 12 months. The first time they replaced a cap that had rusted. He also checked different things in the house. He was very nice and informative. He also repaired a leak in the toilet. He came out the same day I called and replaced the seal.

Not so good, but I have to give them credit for handling the situation with professionalism. The toilet was not sealed properly and after about two weeks, I had water leaking into my newly remodeled kitchen below. Ugh! I contacted Don Welshimer, the service manager and he immediately handled the problem. Mistakes sometimes happen and the key to any good business is in how the mistakes are handled. Don made several trips to my home, met with my contractor and worked with me very closely while the damage was being assessed. Once the contractor's estimate came in, Don informed me that they would have to turn it over to their insurance company. I was afraid that would be a fight, but they were also very easy to work with and promptly agreed to reimburse me. This is a great example of a bad situation that was turned around by caring and professional people. My hat's off to Don!
Description of Work: They replaced a toilet on the upper level of my townhome.

Kitchen faucet broke, called for service in morning, offered same day appointment. Chose replacement faucet, returned within 48 hours to install. Inspected hot water heater and found good condition, no service needed; no charge. Gave me information on how to contact manufacturer regarding rusting lavatory faucet and warranty replacement. Justin was very polite, professional, answered all my questions, advised on the merits of water softener, gave information, but without any push or hard sell to purchase or schedule.

The price was fair. The fellow was very personable and I am utterly pleased! He gave me a two hour window and was here within that. They tell you in their ad if they are not clean or if they are late, they will pay you! There is a two year warranty on all the parts.
Description of Work: I called them because my bathroom floor was flooded. He did what he called a "minor reset" on the toilet.

All went very well. Tony came to the house on schedule and assessed the tasks. We discussed the tub installation and available types of faucets for the tub. I chose a specific type of faucet. We then discussed what was needed for a lasting repair under the kitchen sink. He then calculated and gave me a fixed price for all tasks, and I accepted. He left to get a utility tub and faucet, and returned promptly. Tony worked until all tasks were finished, and the work is very professional looking. All works well. He was also very polite and cleaned up all work areas.
Description of Work: Tony installed a utility tub with faucet next to the washing machine. He installed shutoff valves under the tub, bolted the tub to the floor and ran a separate drain pipe from the tub to the main vertical drain; said if he took the easy way out and tied into the washing machine drain the washer water would back up into the tub. He also repaired a leaking drain under the kitchen sink.

The appointment "window" was 2-4pm. Tony showed up at 2:10 (unheard of in these days!). An A+ for that. His demeanor was very friendly and cheerful. He summarized the issues and the options, which were right in line with what I was anticipating. He worked non-stop and I am very pleased with the work that has been done so far. I felt totally confident that he is good at his job and knows what he is doing. You know I am going to mark a "B" on price, because no one ever likes costs of repairs - but I believe the charges were fair, competitive and in line.
Description of Work: Tony inspected two commodes for repairs - both water tanks leaking. One commode is an outdated, specialized model. He gave me quote to: a) order parts to rebuild "works" and/or b) a quote to replace the entire commode. I opted to have him order parts. He estimates a week for delivery & his office will schedule next visit. The other commode is more 'modern' and he did have the "works" parts to fix/replace the inner workings. He did install new angle stops on both commodes.

He was very knowledgeable & easy to talk to. I showed him where I thought the leaks were - my water bill the last 2 times had been over $40.00 more than usual. He checked those - the 2 toilets & the outside main valve screw. He then took care of these & checked the water meter to make sure that the needle was not moving, & it wasn't, so the leaks had been taken care of. He then explained that the washing machine hoses breaking (he explained that they are under constant water pressure) is one of the most common insurance flooding claims & is one of the easiest things to prevent. He scared me enough to get these replaced since he had the hoses necessary in his truck. I then showed him the kitchen faucet that was cracked & had needed to be replaced for the last 3 years. He gave me a good price - $199 - for both the faucet & labor, so I had him replace it. He also gave me an estimate on how much it would cost to get a water softener installed.
Description of Work: Fixed 2 leaking toilets, replaced a kitchen faucet, replaced the plastic hoses for the washing machine & fixed a leak due to a loose screw in the wall where the main shut off valve is located. He had to make a hole in the outside wall by the garage to fix this last item.

They were more than just on time, they had said between Noon and 2:00 p.m. and they were waiting until Noon to ring the doorbell. Best of all: the booties the plumber wore over his shoes when inside the house. No tromping the mud from outside to inside. Excellent service, fast (next day appt on a non-emergency). And reasonable. Justin was the plumber. He was very competent and thoughtful.

Their prices are very reasonable. I really shopped around and they gave me a better price on a water softener than another company I was looking at going with. They cleaned up well after themselves and when they were done my garage was cleaner than before they started. They came right out and did the work. I would use them again and am trying to get on their diamond list for frequently users.
Description of Work: They installed a water softener for us.
