I thought they were very good. We had to have a separate inspection with the city and they arranged that for us. They're a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. I thought they were good.
Description of Work: They rodded out the sewer and did camera inspection of the line.

When I called them at first, Ray, the woman who took my call, informed me they could come out the end of the week. When I explained my plight of having no hot water, she said she would try to work something sooner. Called back in about 1 1/2 hours to tell me they could be out the day after. The two men were pleasant and professional. I called on a Monday afternoon. They came out Wednesday at 7:30 AM when I told them my water heater was not working. I would recommend them. They did a good job.
Description of Work: Arrived on time, work took only 1 1/2 hours. Left the old tank where I asked them to put it.

Stems of handles for dripping faucet somewhat unusual. Plumber did not have to replace stems now, but said he would find them in case he would have to replace in the future.

They were the only ones to respond on a Saturday afternoon. He came within an hour, when he said he would. He warned me of possible double time charges after 3 pm. He was pleasant, but not patronizing. He showed me what he was doing, and how to take it apart. He couldn't have been better.
Description of Work: My bathroom hot water faucet wouldn't shut off. He removed the handle and screws and was able to temporarily fix it. He showed me how to take the inner pieces off in case I wanted to take it to the faucet shop myself.

Excellent. Rae and her team were great at helping us find the right replacement water heater. Mike and Levon were great to work with, explained everything. Arrived right on time. They were personable, professional and efficient with their time. They even explained and fixed some things that were done incorrectly by another company a few months prior. The final cost was right in the sweet spot of the cost estimate.
Description of Work: Estimated cost (time and materials) to remove existing water heater, replace with 50 gallon water heater.

We had an ongoing leak that was coming from the wall, no obvious source of water. I called and left a message with the service Sunday night. I got a call early Monday am to discuss our needs, and was able to get a service call on Tuesday am. The two techs came out, quickly suspected the source, and we were able to access the condo (its a condo building, the leak was on the first hallway floor) and discover there was a broken water line from the refrigerators ice maker. They turned the water line off. The owners of that condo will have to make further repairs. I will suggest they call Power Plumbing. In fact, there are other water leakage issues in the building that I will call them on soon.
Description of Work: Techs came out to survey water leak in first floor hallway of condo building.

Fabulous! What a great company. They were able to come within two days of my phone call. They called to let me know they were able to arrive earlier than my given window of time for the service call. My plumber was great. He completed the job (changing the copper piping coming from the house to a smaller size)and also took the time to check the entire BBQ for leaks. He showed me how to use it and maintain it throughout the year. I will use this company again and again.
Description of Work: We needed the plumbing changed for a natural gas hook up barbecue.

The company said that a representative would call us at 7:00 to let us know they were on the way. Gus called promptly at 7:00, and even said he could arrive a little earlier than the scheduled time. Gus was professional and courteous. He patiently listed to my explanation of what the issue was and then looked at it himself. He made a recommendation and explained why he was making that recommendation. He installed the new pipe and relatively quickly. Before leaving, he also showed us a few tips to try for dealing with similar issues in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced a piece of piping under the sink that had some loose due to a vibrating garbage disposal. Replaced PVC pipe with chrome drainage pipe.

I am the owner of the property and was not there for the repair, which went very smoothly and both my tenants and I were quite pleased with the service, quick turnaround, and the additional 10% off for using Angie's list as a reference.

They were accommodating in coming after hours, charged time and a half, but at least they did come eventually. The plumber did not have the part in his truck to repair the faucet (either a cartridge or washer) so the only choice I had was to have the faucet replaced. He said it would take three hours but it took 6 hours costing me a thousand dollars. I did receive the Angie's List discount but they would not give me any more of a discount even though I had to replace the faucet because they did not have the part I needed (it was a faucet that was only 1 1/2 years old). Then the kitchen faucet water pressure dropped considerably after the work was done and they wanted to charge me to fix something that they broke? I can't believe that based on the price I paid, I would receive this type of service.
Description of Work: Replaced bathtub faucet.

We were pleased with the the work they did. The only hiccup was that the plumber assigned to our job got held up at another job. We had to call them to find out where he was. Initially, they wanted to reschedule but we explained that we both worked. They then sent out another plumber who performed the job.

The company is awesome. Not only do they have Saturday hours, but when I called on a Thursday, they scheduled me for the very next Saturday, two days after I called. She said someone would come between 7:00 AM-12:00 PM, which seemed like a long wait, but the guy showed up at 9 AM and was done with the work by 9:30. I was very pleased with their promptness and reliability.

They claim to have 24 hour emergency service. The dispatcher told me he had spoken to a plumber and they would "get to me that day." Waited 4 hours, no call back, so I called the dispatcher again, and he told me once again they would get to me. I never heard anything back that day or subsequently. Found somebody else to do the work, but unfortunately I wasted 4 hours waiting for Power Plumbing.
Description of Work: Called on a Sunday because my water heater had completely leaked out and needed replacement. I was willing to pay overtime to have the work done on a weekend.

Great experience. Scott came to our home and was so nice and thorough. He explained EVERYTHING in great detail and tried four times to blow out or clog with an air compressor, to avoid a much costlier alternative (finally worked on the 4th try). Of course, I have the house where none of the plumbing is straight forward. As Scott explained it, they built it to last but not to ever have to come out or for maintenance. So this was not as easy a job as it might sound like. He also left us with a large supply of a "good bacteria" cleaner to use for maintenance of our drains.
