He charged me for plunging the toilet. He was awesome. I don’t remember if he was punctual. His professionalism was awesome. He was professional and friendly. He was over the top.
Description of Work: I used Grable Plumbing Co Inc. I last used his services may be six months ago. He plunged the toilet and then he went around the house and checked all of my sinks, my tubs, my shower and stuff like that. He gave me ideas on how to do different things.

Company appears to be highly professional and everyone I talked with were very personable, friendly and helpful. The price of ANY plumbing work done by ANY plumbing company in the Tampa area is probably going to seem too high to me; but, I just cannot justify paying as much as was charged on this work order (even though it may be the average charge for the type of work I needed to have performed). The damage to my incoming outside water line was done by me (cut into the line while digging through countless tree roots to attempt repairs to the landscaping water line which was immediately adjacent to the main incoming line) and the work had to be done immediately to allow us to have water service. I, therefore, agreed to the service and everything appears to be working correctly at this time. I would use this company again if I had the opportunity to negotiate a more reasonable (subjective, I know) price.
Description of Work: Repair 2 small cuts to incoming outside water line. Access to the broken area was already done by me prior to the company's arrival. Repairs consisted of cutting 1 inch water line in two places and installing new connectors (which were considered "temporary" and not eligible for warranty beyond 10 days).

I had a pipe that was leaking inside my wall. I called Grable at approx. 7:30 am. THey had a man on site by 9:00 am. The service man quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed the leaking pipe. He (Tony) was courteous and knowledgable. I will use Grable again.

Overall, the bathrooms have been completed to our satisfaction but with many headaches along the way. For the master bathroom shower, the installation went smoothly. The person they sent out was efficient, clean, and left the shower working perfectly without any issues. When it came to the hall bath, a different person was sent out and while he was extremely nice, we had many issues. He did manage to install what seemed to be a difficult tub (we ordered it from Home Depot to the exact specifications as our old tub to avoid any problems in installation, but after it was being installed we learned it required a special kit which set us back another week). When he came back to install it, however, he tested the water while our brand new light fixture was inside it! We had left some supplies in the tub, including the light fixture, as we were painting the bathroom. When he installed our new sink, there wasn't enough space in the new cabinet for the pipes, so he very roughly cut a hole in the shelving. Everything was left pretty messy. Overtime, the piping did leak, soaking our cabinet, new walls and floor. We called Grable back, asked for a different person to come fix it and the person they sent did repair it well and cleaned up well. I do think they tried to remedy the problems quickly, which is important to us.
Description of Work: Grable installed our brand new shower start to finish on a master bath remodel, and about a month later a complete tub remodel for our hall bath. They also installed both our new toilets and a sink.

After getting four estimates, I chose Grable because in giving the estimate and describing how he would do the job, Tony seemed like he really knew what he was doing. He was prompt and worked efficiently. I was concerned with having someone knock a hole in my house, but luckily an indoor shower was located on the outside wall, and it was easy to pop through and add the outside plumbing to the existing indoor plumbing. I trusted the plumber to do the job right and it worked out just fine. I will definitely request Tony again for any plumbing work I have done.
Description of Work: Installed a shower faucet and nozzle on an outside wall of my house. This was a new installation and required knocking a hole through the concrete wall from an indoor shower and plumbing a new faucet control. Also replaced the shower faucet and nozzle in the indoor shower. Also took out the vanity in another bathroom and capped off the plumbing in preparation for renovations. (Note: The work required repairing the concrete and stucco around the new faucet installation; Grable recommended someone who did the repair for $75. I painted over the patch myself.)

Our water pressure has been almost nonexistent since we moved into our home. To put it mildly- we were unable to shower and run any other water in the house at the same time, and if someone accidentally flushed the toilet while one of us were in the shower? Just a trickle of water for the next few minutes while the tank fills again. Talk about aggravating! Anyways, we contacted Grable Plumbing and they came out promptly to check out the situation and give us an estimate. We had also gathered estimates from 2 other companies and they were all in the same price range. We chose to go with Grable because they were prompt, professional and very thorough. We were completely satisfied with their work- they were able to come out and start a few days later and completed the re-piping work within a day and they also arranged for the city to come out and inspect the work when it was finished. Their warranty on their parts and labor was excellent- we will definitely use them again for any future plumbing work we need done in our home. Thanks again!
Description of Work: We had all of the old galvanized plumbing re-piped underneath our home and run out to the street.

I really just wanted the water heater checked for leaks and anyother problems. Plumber seemed more interested in selling me a new one, than servicing the old one.

James arrived punctually on the specified date. I indicated that after much research, we had picked out a particular Delta kitchen faucet and under-sink water filtration system; that we were looking for an estimate to have these items professionally installed. He proceeded to tell me how inferior our chosen products were to those his company could supply even though I pointed out to him that these were brand name products that had a good reputation in the plumbing industry. When I asked him for pricing on comparable items his company handled, he came back with a faucet that was over $400, almost DOUBLE the price of the one we had selected. Pricing on the water filtration system was similarly inflated. Meanwhile, the estimate to install our chosen items came to $441.52! However, if we were to sign up for a service agreement with his company, we would get a "discount" so that the total would be $382.25. (Plus he would waive the $39.00 service agreement price because we were Angie's List clients.) Even with the $25.00 Angie's List coupon we could apply to this job, the total would still have been $357.25, well in excess what we were willing to pay. When I pointed out to James how high the price was, he had no explanation except to say that his company "may not be the cheapest, but was the best". Even though the estimate was free, I declined to have the work done by Grable. Furthermore, based on the above experience we will not be considering them in the future.

Not only did the plumber explain my options, he also left the area as clean as he had found it. We have used Grable in the past and I'm continually impressed by this company.

I had a problem with low water pressure in the hot water in my kitchen faucet. I called another plumber company; they came down, took the faucet apart, couldn't find the problem, said it was probably in a part of the faucet that couldn't be fixed and I would need another faucet, put the faucet back together and charged me 126 dollars, saying they would be happy to return and replace the faucet when I bought another one. One day later, I had low water pressure in my bathroom faucet. I thought I had a possible water pipe break and decided to, this time, choose an angie's list plumber. I called Grable. They sent Tony the very same day - he fixed both faucets (the bathroom was just the aerater clogged, coincidentally!), and he found a small screen in the hose of the hot water side of the kitchen faucet that was clogged and fixed that too. Needless to say, I was thrilled. Paying to fix a problem is definitely better than paying and not getting results. Thank you Tony, thank you Grable. I will call this company from now on.

I was delighted with the quality of the service. This was a situation in which it would have been very easy for the plumber to run up the bill. It involved repairing a buried, badly corroded galvanized pipe that ran close to our home's foudation. I also was not able to watch the repairs and therefore had to rely on the plumber. He completed the repair in less time and for less expense than he originally estimated. He also did a great job of installing a kitchen faucet. As a bonus, he showed me how to repair a stuborn toilet which wasn't flushing properly with a simple (no cost) repair.

Everything was handled as stated in conversation with dispatcher earlier in day. Said someone would be there between 2-6 and actually showed up at 1:45. Did everything had been asked to do and as I said above, cleaned up everything when finished.
Description of Work: Had called to come to do annual check for pipe leakage. Just before arriving, I put something in sink that clogged it. (good timing onmy part, if I had to do it). He came in, cleared the blockage which was actually in a lead off pipe and not the main and checked everything as originally requested. Since the clog was actually due to a buildup further in the lines, he had to go under the sink into the pipes as well as "snake" on the roof. Explained to me what was going to have to be done, the extra costs involved as well as what may have to be done if he was not able to break the clog. He removed everything from unfer the sink, fixed the problem and put everyting back. Cleaned floor where it was messed from doing the work.

So when he returned, he did everything to a point and I was shocked at the amount of time he took completing this. This gave me the impression that he was doing the job as near to perfect as possible and making sure the job was done right the first time, the best way possible. This was not what I expected, but I loved it. For my past customers and current patients, I do and did the same thing by taking my time and doing my absolute best for those I was serving in various fields. There are few of those type of workers left in the world. When he was completed, he showed and explained to me everything and it's purpose, gave me the warranty book, and I signed off on the work order. We wrapped up by signing me up for the annual service plan and explained all the benefits I would receive with the plan. He left the new water heater and all it's surroundings just as they were, nice and clean, put all of his equipment away, and came back in to make sure the water heater had the air out and was putting out the hot water (which is was) and I complimented not only his work but his courtesy and respect he showed to both me and my home.They're a wonderful company and I would recommend and have recommend Grable's Plumbing to anyone who mentions a plumbing problem/concern.
Description of Work: I was in need of a new water heater. My current water heater was the initial one that came with the house so it was about 15+ years old and the manufacturer was Rheem. Now, I am pretty well educated with regards to water heaters and I knew that I wanted another Rheem. At Home Depot, they carry a product manufactured by Rheem so I was going to get that one. Well he knew his stuff and I could tell right away by the suggestions he was making: the upgrades and work to be done to bring it up to code, and his agreement with me regarding my choice of Rheem. He then informed me that his company only installs Rheem and it would be cheaper for us to have him bring out our new water heater, replace our old water heater, and haul it away. Then we would no longer have to worry about getting it, hauling out, and disposing of the old one, and so forth. Not to mention, the difference in cost between buying it to have there water heater installed was only about 40 dollars and it would have cost us that much for gas and the disposal. He also explained everything that he would be doing with the replacement, the warranty information, and his company's satisfaction guarantee and service plan.With no pressure from him, I got 3 other bids and none of them were as impressive as Grables's. Most importantly was the sincerity, courtesy, and overall "true customer satisfaction" that not only James, the installer, exhibited, but the office staff as well.

The evening before calling Grable I discovered that I had a water leak below my kitchen sink. I called at 8:00 in the morning and they sent a plumber who arrived about one hour later. He was clean, courteous and appropriately dressed. He quickly determined that the garbage disposal unit had rusted through. He gave me an estimate on a couple of units and we chose the 3/4 hp unit. He was efficient, but took the 2 hours necessary to carefully remove the old unit and install the new unit. He discovered that one of my water hoses was leaking and he installed a new one at no extra charge. He was meticulous in cleaning up and removing the old unit. I was delighted with the job. We have used Grable several times in the past and always have had a positive experience. I would highly recommend this company.

The plumber came out, was very friendly and attempted to do the work, when the price came up first to perform the work they mentioned a service plan that would lock the home owner into using Grabel as the plumbing company of choice. It gives between 10-15% off which was enough to cover the cost of the plan. Unfortunately the price from the pipe unclogging to the new toilet went from $250 to $600 for a kholer toilet which was claimed to be close to top of the lin. Every step of the way the plumber insisted on purchasing this service plan/contract and with the coupon for angie's list I purchased it. He went back to the shop and picked one up and came back and installed the new toilet. I completely overpaid for the toilet. The cost to purchase the same model, based upon online searches, at a local store was $300 for the same model including both top and bottom sections. Installation could've been had for 1/5 the cost using a local handyman. The plumber friendly, although pushy, wouldn't let the service plan/contract drop. Once the price for the toilet hit I purchased it as I needed a toilet as the residence didn't have another one. I will not use Grabel again as that was an astronomical markup for a simple toilet installation and the sales guy, plumber, shoved that service plan down your throat like you were at a department store. Great Service, outrageous prices.
Description of Work: I had a small problem with backup in one of the toilets, I called Grabel to come out and unclog the pipes. The toilet had to be replaced due to the age and cost, I replaced the old toilet with a new Kholer toilet.

Many years ago Grable came to my house the same day the lightning hit. They found the burst pipe in my concrete floor and immediately began the massive job. I was exceptionally pleased with the service and cost. The adjuster from my homeowner?s insurance said he would have estimated quite a bit higher on the cost of the repair. In April my water heater died so I looked them up on Angie?s List to ensure they were still doing reputable work, and to check for a coupon. I called in the morning and they were at my house mid-day. They answered my questions about tankless water heaters and gave me additional information I hadn?t thought about yet. My new water heater tank was installed the same day. I was thankful for a hot shower that day!

The service man showed up exactly on time and was very clean. Grable Plumbing uses top-of-the-line parts (no PVC piping or cheap plastic ). PVC would have been fine for my purposes (and most assuredly would have cost less), but it was a quality job with quality products. I'm chalking it up to you get what you pay for. The company also called later in the day to follow up on the work that was done.

1st. call: The house I bought had been unoccupied for an extended period. The guest bathroom had no hot water (apparently due to it's lack of use the system had "frozen"). The gentleman who came did the work quickly and cleaned up after himself. 2nd. call: I needed a water treatment system installed (arghh! Florida water!). Same gentleman not only installed the system but flushed my water heater as well.
Description of Work: This is the second time I call on them. Both times they responded promptly and did excellent work. If I were ever to have a real plumbing emergency, I've no doubt they would be equally as prompt and efficient.

I am very pleased with the manner in which the work was performed. The area was left clean and the old water heater was hauled away.
Description of Work: I called Grable about a leaky water heater, and they said that they could send someone out on the same day. That happened to be convenient for me so Brian came out to check the water heater. It turned out the tank was cracked and the unit needed to be replaced. He gave me a quote and performed the work that day.
