WOW!!! That is all I can say. The person taking my call was nice. Justin, the plumber was very nice. He kept the work area clean. They were actually a little earlier than they quoted for a time. It was done in a timely manner and they have no addon charges. There is no charge for time. I would have them work for me anytime. I would recommend them to friends also.
Description of Work: The garbage disposal FELL OUT from under my sink. I was given a choice of disposals for replacement and the disposal was hooked up, the electrical switch was hooked in as well as a dishwasher.

I was very dissatisfied. Don't remember cost.
Description of Work: Unclogged a drain. I explained to him that my water bill was extremely high and he said there was probably a leak underground and they'd need to replace a pipe that was running from the house to the street for a cost of around $1700.

At first, we were concerned because the plumber said he had never seen a toilet like ours (low gravity, low flow). But in the end he got the job done.
Description of Work: Our toilet had not been flushing properly. Scott's came out & found that a perfume bottle had been dropped & flushed down the toilet. He performed the necessary repairs and did not overcharge us by trying to replace the entire toilet.

BEST OF THE BEST IN EFFICIENCY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE! Look no further for a prompt response, a super technician (Justin), cleanliness in performing the jobs and a fair price. For any plumbing problem, I would only use this company.
Description of Work: One shower was unusable as we could not get the water turned on. Justin, the technician, knew immediately it was a cartridge (other service was ready to install an entire fixture) and replaced it quickly. He then spent an hour unclogging a very clogged drain in another shower, also locating new screws to reinstall a difficult to remove drain cover. What could have been a production went smoothly. The final treat was when he cleaned the bathroom and shower floors. A toast to Super Service!!!!

The work was fine, no complaint. They were right on time and went right to the job. We had a big snaking out in the yard for the main drain which was less than this job. It was more expensive than we expected. I would look around in the future.

The company was very efficient in returning calls and setting up appointments. They made several visits to my home before the true cause of the problem was identified. The plumbers were always on time and very professional. Many times, the visits lasted for longer than anticipated but I wasn't charged any additional fees. Once the company identified the source of the problems, repairs were underway and everything was completed in a day with no disruption to my life.
Description of Work: I called the company to clean out my sewer lines after a 'major back up' with my washing machine. The plumbers quickly identified the problem as a collapsed line. My house was built in the 1950's and the oak tree's root system in my back yard did a number on the sewer lines. The company gave me a very fair quote to replace my sewer lines from the house to the the city main. I gave them the go ahead and life has been great ever since.

The work was done in a prompt and satisfactory manner and under emergency circumstances, because my sewer line had completely deteriorated. I would have preferred a personal phone call or contact, when I called to complain that the installer spilled what appeared to be permanent solution onto my pool deck. It was removed, but my deck was discolored, as a result.

I was able to get an appointment within 24 hours. Both times Justin arrived before the appointment time with his booties on, and worked diligently and swiftly. The second time he left to get black caulk from a supplier, that was included in the price. He even checked a leaking toilet and replaced the flapper for free!!! Justin is very professional and pleasant, besides being a great plumber. The MOST enjoyable plumbing experience!!!!
Description of Work: I was installing a granite countertop in a bathroom and the first visit included the removal of the sink and faucet. The second visit was the installation of a new sink and a new faucet.

The initial response to my call was positive. I was able to talk to an experienced person who understood what I wanted and assured me they could do the job. They did more than meet my needs. They were able to come earlier than expected - the same day! The work was done quietly, efficiently, and there was absolutely no mess to clean up. The plumber even told me that I didn't need to move anything myself - that he would take care of it. The system is working well and I have received a written thank you note,an offer to contact them with any questions or concerns, and a refrigerator magnet.
Description of Work: Installed a hot water recirculation pump that I had purchased. He installed it above the hot water heater in our utility room and also installed a special valve between and hot and cold water lines in the bathroom farthest from the hot water heater.

Called at 3 pm on a Saturday and Justin showed up only 1 1/2 hours later! Gave us a discount for short distance of drain to septic and also Angie's List discount. The price of $99 above the amount is the after hours / Saturday emergency charge. Very nice, thoroughly checked all drains. Very very satisfied with work, and completed all the work in a very timely manner. Justin went above and beyond our expectations.

Scotto's was able to send a technician much sooner than they estimated (the problem was somewhat of an emergency). Vinnie, the plumber, was prompt, very skilled, and professional. I will likely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Identified the source of a leak behind the shower wall to a fitting behind the shower head. Technician was able to fix the problem without damaging any of the surrounding tile.

Jason, was very courteous, took off his shoes before he came in, I couldn't believe it, even I don't do that, he showed me what he was doing and explained everything to me and why it needed to be done. He also make sure EVERYTHING was cleaned up before he left. I will always call the Scotto's when I need a plumber.
Description of Work: Heater was not giving out enough hot water, Jason thought it might be the bottom element. But that checked out alright, however the fuses (?) along the side of the heater were the ones not giving electricity out to the unit. So he replaced them, the upper and lower them and what do you know a perfectly working hot water heater.

The workman came out the morning after I called at the scheduled time. He was polite and cleaned up his area well. We are pleased with the work done. However, Scotto's price was about $100 more than other telephone bids I had received. We decided to go ahead with them rather than forfeit $49 for a bid we didn't use. My advice: don't bother with a company that won't do free bids. There were many others with high service ratings that do give free bids.

This was an atypical experience with this company. The installer did not install correctly, and when I pointed this out, he said ''That's how it's supposed to be.'' Don, the manager had the problem corrected by having the intaller re-install the unit correctly. I did leave a note for the installer to complete technical information in the Service Manual, but he did not do it. As I said, this was an atypical experience with this company. Previous experiences have been excellent, and even in this one, Don was most helpful. Ratings refer to the installer, not the company itself.
