Nick and Tony are the best. Excellent experience with this contractor.
Response from Marine Plumbing Service Inc
"We enjoyed working for you as well. Glad that the gas meter replacement with Atlanta Gas worked out so smoothly. Your complete water repiping, gas repipng and tankless intstall was pretty tough but glad it all worked out. Hope you will also enjoy the recirculating (demand pump) which will also provide more rapid home water around the home. Also heard your wife started using new hose on backporch minutes after it was installed. LOL Please call on us at anytime. Thanks, Nick Marine"

This was my first contact and experience using Angie's List. Bottom line: great experience all around and I have a new plumber that I trust! I contacted Marine and they called me right back. I spoke to Tony Little who went through some triage on the phone with me. I was experiencing some considerable leaking into my garage from what looked like the supply lines to my kitchen sink. Tony thought perhaps it was the pressure regulator valve causing stress on some of the joints. He explained everything as well as what the cost would be. We made an appointment for the next morning. Tony was right on time and came prepared for just about anything. Good thing too since once he saw what was going on he was able to pinpoint the problem quickly and fix it. The last owners hadn't installed the disposal drain correctly and it was leaking there. Tony also fixed two existing hose bibs for me that had been leaking for some time. Tony was great - very nice person, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely be recommending Marine to family and friends. I know who I'm calling the next time I need plumbing work done!

Nick Marine and Tony Little run an outstanding business. After years of periodic leak problems from my self-installed Omni whole house water filter, I decided to remove the filter and have a plumber solder a new pipe. I called Nick on a Saturday morning, and after explaining my desires and learning he could do the work, I asked if there was any chance he could perform the work the same day. Within a couple hours of my initial call Tony Little showed up with a young assistant, Max. Tony listened attentively as I described my desires in detail. He then offered an additional idea to replace the filter with a higher quality one, and to install a separate bypass line to ensure uninterrupted water flow during filter cartridge changes or if the filter had any problems in the future. I approved his good idea and Tony and Max began work. The entire job was done promptly, professionally, courteously, and at all times answered all my questions well, both concerning the installation and any future considerations. Marine Plumbing's quality work, exceptional attitude, and prompt service are well worth your consideration for plumbing needs.

While I did not experience services directly from Marine Plumbing, I wanted to leave an excellent rating for their professionalism and their recommendation. We had two severely clogged drains, and when I called Marine Plumbing, they referred me over to someone that they have worked with for over 15 years. They did this to help save me money...which is admirable for a business! The person they recommended came out, and was done within 30 minutes. I was very impressed with the plumber, and I wanted to commend Marine Plumbing for their trust worthy recommendation. As a former renter, this was my first experience with a plumbing company, so I was rather clueless, but now this company and the person they referred to me will be our 'go-to' plumber.

We've used them before. They not only do the repair, but while they are here they check everything else in the house regarding the plumbing. They are very good in terms of when we call them and in terms of letting us know when they will come. If they are real busy and can?t come they will even give us the name of another plumber.
Response from Marine Plumbing Service Inc
"Member- We gave you a quote in advance before doing any work. At no time did you indicate (on the phone or in person) that the price was unreasonable. I feel the "C" for our pricing you gave us is unfair. We use only high quality parts and have not increased our toilet rebuild rate for the past 5 years, even though material costs have risen. Nick Marine"

I wanted a tankless water heater and with ours about to die it seemed like the right time. I called Nick and within a few hours he sent Tony over to take a look. It turns out that our house doesn't use a "normal" water heater, it's a special "direct vent" water heater. On top of that, there was not a good, economical way to install a tankless given where the gas came into the house and where the water heater needed to go. Suffice to say Nick called me to explain the situation and while he laid out all my options he encouraged me to go with a "Power vent" water heater. I called Nick multiple times because I had many questions and he patiently, pain-stakingly answered my calls time and time again. We are very happy. We can have the showers going, do a load of laundry and still have hot water at the kitchen sink. Nick was right, the power-vent was the right way to go.
Response from Marine Plumbing Service Inc
"Member- Glad that we could resolve your hot water dilemma. The energy star power vent will also reduce your monthly operating costs. We appreciate the great comments as well. Thank you, Nick Marine"

They are amazing. We had a disaster with the plumbing and they came out the same day and did the work and did a really good job. The guys who came out were certified and were nice people. They knew what they were doing and showed us whatever was wrong. Their quality was really good. I called them at 10 in the morning and they were here at 4 in the evening. I have hired them to do some other work as well.

Service Professional was friendly, courteous and performed the job in less time than what was orignally estimated. Just not sure that he was focussed on bottom line cost. On the other hand, his work was the kind that you could expect to never have to touch again...
Response from Marine Plumbing Service Inc
"Marine Plumbing only uses top quality products. As Licensed Plumbers will refuse to cut corners and we would never install something that you don't need! We gave you a fair and competitive price UP FRONT for 485.00. You also failed to mention that we also reduced bill an additional $60.00( Angies list / new customer) discount that you never expected for a total of $425.00. We shut off your water at meter, drained your entire home, installed a new pressure regulating, new full port shut off valve and re-piped approx 2 feet of copper which was in bad shape. I suggest you call others in the future and see what they would charge."

The work was excellent and the solutions seemed to spot on. The value, service, and responsiveness were all top notch. I really liked how they took the time to look over my whole system to address issues they saw and discussed my options to come up with the best solution. I feel like I got a lot of valuable work done for a good price. I think it's just a two man outfit, Nick and Tony, both ex-Navy if I remember right and they are the actual guys doing the work too. I would definitely recommend these guys and will call them for all my plumbing needs.

"We appreciate your business and the great comments as well. You are also correct about Tony and I doing all the work ourselves. We do have a few plumbing sub contractors and well as some top notch Walton HS seniors we take with us as helpers but you will always have one of us onsite for every project! Thanks Again, Nick Marine"

Called the company and left a message. Their recorded phone message was a little kooky but I tried not to let that throw me. No response for about 4 days. Called back again and this time I mentioned I got their name from Angie's list and would like to use them but needed a response back quick or I would have to move on. Got a call back immediately and was told they were working on numerous emergency frozen pipe jobs. Based on really cold weather in my area I believed that might be the case and decided to push ahead and have them come out and look at my job. Its likely they were taking care of their customers during emergency weather conditions and that is not a bad thing for a company to do. Since I did not have an emergency job I felt I could roll with their situation and wait a few days. Tony arrived on time agreed upon and looked over the job and confirmed price with me. I agreed and he set about doing the work. Finished job and cleaned up. It was over in just under 3 hours. We discussed a possible future plumbing job that I might have for a tankless water heater. He showed me photos of similar jobs he had completed and I got good information. Good talk. He liked my Collie/German Shepard mix big handsome dog.

Excellent, professional service from start to finish. Extremely personable and great with my 4 year old who wanted to "help". Used booties to keep from tracking dirt in. Measured and made very small opening in drywall to examine and repair pipe. Cleaned up well after job was finished. Also gave an estimate for repair on a pressure valve. A little pricey, but worth it for a job done right and with great courtesy.

Tony upgraded my old leaking two handle shower with a single lever system. He also installed an access panel for easier future access. He was very prompt and professional. My shower looks great and no more dripping. This was my first time using Marine and I would definitely use them again.

I found another plumber (located in Acworth) who installed my Sterling low-flow toilets by Kohler, which I purchased from Home Depot for $98.00 each. My plumber (who is licensed, insured, and bonded) installed them for $85.00 each, and did an excellent job. I am extremely happy with the toilets and the installation. The plumber I chose (NOT Marine) also moved my gas line for $125.00. Perfect service at an excellent price! So for a total of $674.00, I got three new low-flow toilets (that work beautifully) installed and my gas line moved. What could I possibly have gotten for $1885.00 from Marine? I guess it costs a lot to maintain all that arrogance....
Response from Marine Plumbing Service Inc
"Yes, I remember you quite well and not surprised about your comments! We only install WATER SENSE toilets which qualify for 100 rebate(each) from Cobb County Water Department and the reason is that they actually work and save water! There is no comparison to the sterling toilets you purchased from Home Depot to ours. Your new CHEAP toilets require a scrub brush (constant cleaning) and a plunger nearby due to stoppages. In addition- We charge for labor exactly what Home depot does to install and they were to expensive for you as well! Gas Work=We pull permits with the county which I called and verified that you never did pull a permit and this will come back to bite you HARD!.... You also called me arrogant but you are confusing this with me quoting you minimum code requirements! We also pressure test all gas piping as well which is part of the permit process and is required BY CODE! And NO, we don't use soft copper piping only hard black iron for gas which needs to be hand threaded and cut on site. We don't sacrifice safety and minimum code requirements for anyone! We GRADE you "F" for all of the above! Tony Little"

I was pricing gas hot water heater replacement. I have 2 50 gal. units installed side by side. Apparently, there are 2 methods of installation: parallel and series. Parallel is preferable. The plumber assured me that not only did I have a bottom of the line "select" brand heater but that he replaces 300 water heaters a year, and that I more than likely had a series installation and would need both tanks replaced and all new plumbing to the tune of $3200. Single tank replacement would be $1400 in the event that I had parallel installation. I could not get him to explain what the different installations looked like so I Googled to view them. It turns out I have parallel. The better quality Rheem heater he recommended was offered by another plumber for $1000 including a new thermal expansion tank. I felt he was rude and short tempered and in the end overpriced as well. Unfortunate.

"You have us mixed up with another plumbing company? We have no record of you or your address? We don't work in Atlanta and don't market Atlanta which you can verify on Angie's List as well! You have written an angry email directed to the wrong company. Thx Tony Little."

Scheduled appt for 8:30 am for the installation of a thermal expansion device on an old water heater. Nick arrived on time. He took a look at the current setup and suggested that I replace the existing water heater rather than spend money on an expansion device for such an old unit. He did not hard sell the new unit. He simply layed out my options so I could make an educated decision. Once I heard the facts, I agreed a new unit made sense. Nick was not sure if he would be able to perform the installation that same day since they already had other jobs scheduled, and he did not have a new water heater in the truck. He said they would try to work me into the schedule so that I did not have to take another day off work, but he could not promise anything. To make a long story short, Nick and Tony both came back to the house in the middle of the afternoon to complete the installation. In addition to the water heater, they replaced the pressure release valve in the crawlspace that was originally installed upside-down, corrected the vent on the water heater, extended the gas piping, and threw in a pan for the heater at no charge. These guys do not take short cuts! They worked into the early evening making sure everything was setup the way they would want it in their own homes. I greatly appreciate their attention to detail and their efforts to save me from taking another day off work. I was very pleased with their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing services.

FANTASTIC! I made an appointment with Tony to replace our two 13 year old, 40-gallon water heaters (prior to their failure) with one 50-gallon heater. He advised me on the phone about the age of the PRV and said he would inspect it as well when he arrived. He not only arrived right on time, but he even called ahead that morning to confirm the appointment. When he arrived and saw how the current system was installed and we discussed the usage, he advised me that we would not be satisfied with just the single 50-gallon heater, even though it is more efficient than our current heaters. Although he brought the new tank with him, we decided not to complete the replacement at this time, but Tony did recommend installing a water sensor device in case either exisitng tank starts to leak. He also provided me a written estimate for replacing both units, including the Angie's List dicsount! I'll be calling Tony for sure to do this work.
