Vince was the name of plumber who came out and did the work. Company actually called and asked if it was alright for him to stop by earlier than scheduled, because he was running ahead of schedule. He got there and went to check out the problem. He showed me the way to adjust the packing nut because that is usually the reason these valves leak. Unfortunately, the entire valve was shot and needed to be replaced. I will hire these folks for future work.
Description of Work: Replaced on/off valve for toilet.

We had quite a bit of landscaping & other home improvement jobs recently, along with a new air conditioner. Somewhere along the line an old a/c return line was broken. It was no longer used & had previously been capped off. We discovered it was broken one evening half-buried in some mulch & a substantial stream of water was coming out. We opted to pay the emergency service call rate & someone was on site within an hour at 8 pm & quickly capped the line, burying it so it would be unlikely to break again. Despite the emergency call rate, the price was still very reasonable. Part of the reason was because we are return customers, & we will continue to use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Capped leaking a/c return line after hours.

I thought the price was a little steep for the work. But, they fixed the problem and he did a good job. I would not hire again just because of the price. I had used them before and the price was very fair, that is why I hired them this time, but the price was a little steep the second time.
Description of Work: We had a clogged up kitchen drain, and they fixed that.

They were very courteous from the initial phone call through the follow up "Thank You for your business" letter. They were $100 cheaper than another contractor on Angie's list, and the quality of their work was excellent. They are the first company to call with any plumbing problem.

The gentleman said yes, we would. When I received the quote, it included the same discount we already got through the warehouse. When I called and spoke with Don to find out about the discount they were supposed to extend (Scotto's discount), he said they gave me a good price. I left it alone until the warehouse called and said that they missed a charge for shipping on the shower unit, which would be an additional $250. I was surprised to hear that an outfit as big as them would miss something like this. I decided to cancel the whole order and went through The Home Depot instead. I called Scotto's and told them I just wanted them to install the materials I purchased at Home Depot and they said fine and scheduled the job for Monday, between 9:00 and 10:00. It is now Monday at 11:00 and when I called Scotto's at 10:30, they said whoops, we scheduled you for NEXT Monday, March 27th. We are leaving the state Wednesday and Scotto's was aware of our plans.
Description of Work: Contracted them to install a new bathroom (new fixtures, etc.) We have used them before and have had great experiences, but not with this one. We decided to have them re-do our master bathroom. We asked if they had a showroom, and they directed us to a warehouse they use often, but do not own/operate. We picked out around $7000 worth of product and then asked Scotto's plumber that came out to give the estimate if we got their discount (which was a larger discount than we got) on the merchandise.

John came to our home and grumbled about why they would schedule him so late in the day for such a big job. His attitude did not improve. Arty, in Scotto's office, had asked John to look at a leaky faucet, which was under warranty, while he was there. We had to remind John to do that. Then John said that he didn't have the faucet parts plus his company wouldn't fix it any, but would replace it for four or five hundred dollars. John said someone would call me the next day about it. When no one called, I called them and was informed by someone named Michelle that Arty had made a big mistake, that he could find no paperwork about the faucet, but if I could find some paperwork, I should call them back. Where did the old Scotto's go? In the past, they have always been pleasant and courteous to a fault. They always went the extra mile. I will no longer do business with them nor will I recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Replaced old water heater with a new one.

Although this company was very helpful and nice we did not use them. The cost of the garbage disposal was $200.00 more than the exact same unit purchased through Lowes. The installation price estimate was $100.00 less with Scottos.

Pat, the plumber, was on time and very pleasant. He showed me the issue as he did the investigation and provided insights on what to look for and how to repair. He explained the plumbing system in the home and the probable causes. In addition, he went out of his way to explain other plumbing issues in the home and make recommendations for future repairs/modifications.
Description of Work: The plumber diagnosed an issue with hot water not being supplied throughout the home. He reviewed the potential points of failure and made the determination for the proper fix.

He worked quickly, was courteous,pleasant and well-mannered. (Really a B+) He was a clean-looking person, and answered my questions while he was working and I was reading the product booklet. My water heater failed and I called Wed morning. Due to Martin L King holiday I was unable to get the installation until Tuesday morning. Harry was on time. I bought the ten yr warranty extension. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. It would have been better to have a shorter lag time between order and install.
Description of Work: Removed old water heater and disposed of it. Installed a 60 gal Tall Rheem Fury electric water heater. They supplied all necessary parts and supplies needed to do it.
