Overall they were courteous and cleaned up. They took the time to find the problem. I would absolutely hire them again.
Description of Work: We had a spot on the ceiling and thought it was a plumbing problem. It ended up being a roofing problem. They were most helpful in finding where this problem originated.

I called first thing in the morning. They told me they could have someone there later in the morning which was great. It was a pleasant surprise when the serviceman called me about a half hour later and said he could be on his way right then. He was very professional and courteous, asked some questions, then proceeded to clear the drain. He told me he pulled out lots of lint. It's been draining fine since then.
Description of Work: Washing machine drain appeared to be clogged, as there was water on the floor of the laundry room. They came out to clear it.

My water heater had stopped working and was leaking all over. I contacted Roby's around 10am and asked if someone could at least come out and look at the unit today. They were flexible enough to send someone out at the time I requested (3:30pm), so I wouldn't miss too much of my work day. Dave C. showed up on time and was great from intro to finish. Upon inspection, Dave thought my heater was still under warranty; but after he placed a call, he was told it wasn't. After talking it over for a few moments, he decided to recheck the serial number and make another call. Turns out, it was still under warranty through the end of this month! Dave saved me some major bucks by taking those few extra minutes to double check. He provided an estimate and then contacted a supplier and set up delivery of my new water heater. It was delivered, my old one hauled away, new one installed, water valve repaired and everything finished within 2 hours. And I was only expecting an estimate today :)
Description of Work: Replaced water heater and a faulty water valve.

Our sprayer had developed a leak in the hose, and we tried to replace it. Unfortunately, this didn't work, but since the sprayer is separate from the faucet, we couldn't use the sink at all because water went everywhere since there was no hose attached. Kevin came out the morning that we called, replaced the entire faucet system and sprayer. We asked him about a problem we were having with a toilet, he explained what was wrong, and replaced the mechanism before he left. He was professional and explained everything. We later realized we had a problem with the hose and they offered to come out the same day that we called, to fix the problem. I will definitely call them if we ever need that type of service again.
Description of Work: Kevin replaced the faucet and hose, and replaced the mechanism in one of the toilets.

The work was done quickly, thoroughly and efficiently.
Description of Work: Since our water wasn't heating adequately we thought the water heater needed to be checked. Rick noticed slight seepage of water where the electrical current was shorting out. Since repairs would have cost over $400, we decided a new and better appliance was a better choice. In one day the old water heater was removed and a new one installed in its place! Rick had called for the new one to be delivered on the spot, and this person helped Rick with the installation. We were amazed to have the work done so quickly. They cleaned up the area afterwards and we had hot water within an hour!

The plumber arrived on time and gave me the estimate. Approx 645.00 for the contols and faucet, another 415.00 for the drain replacement plus a fee to cut into the wall for access. It took around 3-4 hrs. The work was well done and there was no mess left.I was concerned about the price. It seemed high, but I had read the comments by Angie's members and decided to go ahead. It works great and looks much better.
Description of Work: Replaced shower controls, faucet, and tub drain. A hole had to be cut in the bedroom wall behind the tub to access the plumbing. The old drain unit had crumbled apart and fallen into the drain causing a blockage.

He was very friendly and explained to my husband what he was doing and why. When he realized that the first water heater venting was not even to our ceiling, he explained why this was important to us and what he was doing to correct. My husband joked that our mudroom was cleaner after he left than before! We received a thank you card from the company about a week later. They did a great job. We will be needing some additional plumbing services in the near future and will call them again.
Description of Work: They took my old water heater out and disposed of it, put a new water heater in and added shut-off valves for water and gas.

They have excellent service and the price was very reasonable. The price listed also included an installation of a piece of flexible hose that runs from the main line to the faucet in the kitchen.
Description of Work: They fixed a stopped up water line (the line feeding water to the kitchen sink as I was not getting cold water from that sink) and replaced a flexible hose that was corroded.

Without asking me he replaced my toilet with a smaller and lower pressure one. I told him it was smaller and he laughed at me. He told me that it was the way things are going to be. I will never use him again. It was upsetting to me. His prices are high as well.

We were very pleased with the service Rob did. He completed the job is a couple of hours. He cleaned up the mess perfectly. We knew what to expect and the cost was less than quoted.
Description of Work: We purchased a new faucet for our shower/bathtub. The plumber had to cut a hole in the hallway to access the plumbing. We will have to repair the hallway access ourselves. My advice is to get a quote on cost before you ask a company to do a repair. This saves time and you know exactly what you are getting into.

The Angie's List reviews were very helpful. I found a lot of help by asking for the brand of water heater for each quote I got, and then checking out the websites prior to making a decision.
Description of Work: Roby's replaced our 9-year-old electric water heater, which had begun to leak, with same day service. We chose a 50 gallon model with 10 year warranty. The salesman was very helpful, providing details and explanation about available models and warranties. The installation was very professional; the installer answered our questions and cleaned up well. Their price was well below 2 other quotes for comparable models. We also took advantage of the Angie's List discount coupon.

Dave cheerfully worked all day New Years Eve. He looked at everything I needed done, went to his truck, completed a detailed estimate and then walked me though it. A colleague of his delivered the equipment that he needed to install. It was a long day and it was a holiday.

Roby's is prompt and cooperative in trying to get the call scheduled. If it's an emergency, they try to get to you as quickly as possible, although we've only had that happen one time. It just so happened Dave was our service tech that day and he did a great job. Sometimes we think the price might be high, but on the other hand we've not had experience with any other companies for several years. We always call Roby's-so we can't compare. They may be more reasonable than others-and in many cases, you get what you pay for. We've not had to have Dave come back to work on something he did the first time.
Description of Work: Dave Crocco was our tech. We had several small items to be fixed, or so we thought. He replaced a faucet(we had already purchased)and found, as is sometimes the case in plumbing, that with new fixtures he had to replace some piping. He was worried the old pipe would disintegrate anyway when he went to replace it because of corrosion and suggested we put in new plastic pipe. He did that and it looks much better and we don't have to worry about it springing a leak anytime in the near future. He explained about the other couple of items we wanted done and told us how to avoid having to do the work, at least at this time. We always trust Dave's judgment and recommendation. He could have done the work if we insisted, but he just didn't think it needed to be done now. We always ask for him when we need plumbing work done. He's neat, pleasant and we would totally trust him in our home, even if we weren't here.

Able to schedule replacement very quickly, could have come out that same day if needed. Answered all my questions about water heaters and upgraded to dual anode for fixed price. Also accommodated my morning schedule. Total price for installation and hauling away old heater was VERY competitive with price of purchasing like model at hardward store, paying "handyman" for installation and disposal of water heater. Labor costs were only about $400, well worth it! Rick the service technician did a great job, straightened out vent installed by original contractor. Done in under 2 hours!

He could not have done a better job on our project.
Description of Work: The plumber let us know it was in fact the water heater which was at it`s final leg so he gave us a price to install a new one and haul away the old one. He was very good at what he did and cleaned the area up as it was when he arrived. Once again we had hot water and pressure and it was a very good installation. Would use them again in future.
