Did not have work done. Estimated cost was $425.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate for installation of a homeowner bought water softener. The cost was quoted as $425.00. I had already called 3 other plumbers with the estimates ranging from $200.00 to $283.00. Their estimate was much too high.

Fantastic! They provided us with much information, arrived exactly when promised (8am), did great work, cleaned up after their work 100%, and answered all questions. We had concerns about smells shortly after installation, though they thought it was normal smells as a new water heater begins operation, they immediately sent a serviceman over to double check. He explained all as he went. Very, very happy with Roby's and would gladly recommend them.
Description of Work: Replaced water heater and removed old one that was leaking.

They advertise that they will give you the price before they do the work. They did for the bathroom work, but not for the kitchen sink leak. They have said that they will reimburse me $182.00 in order to live up to their ads. I have done business with them before and they were always reasonably priced, up until now.
Description of Work: They installed a faucet in my bathroom that I had already purchased from a supply store. They charged $277.00 for the labor to install it. They also fixed a leak in my kitchen, for the $182.00. They were here for a total of two hours for both jobs. I have done business with them before and their prices were reasonable before, but this is something new!

Dave came out and gave me an estimate on many plumbing projects. We chose to only have the above work done due to budget constraints. Dave came out the following week and completed the work. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up after he was finished.
Description of Work: We had a utility sink installed in our laundry room and a gas line run to the laundry room so we could have a gas dryer.

Excellent. We called in the morning and they had Rick out that afternoon. They called before they came and were on time. They assessed the situation and told me what it would involve. Rick and his partner wore shoe covers and had floor covers that they laid down in front of the water heater and around the corner to our front door. I would definitely recommend them anytime and I am happy to have finally found a plumber that I know I can rely on. We have redone 3 houses, top to bottom, and I would rank them as the 1st or 2nd best contractor we've ever used on any job (we've had painters, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, floor layers, HVAC companies, ect.). I wish all companies were this reliable, courteous and well priced. If you are looking for someone that you can use again and again I really suggest this company!
Description of Work: New water heater installed and some new pipes run to water heater.

I would call Roby's again for any plumbing services.
Description of Work: When I called I was to that someone would be sent right away. Rick arrived and answered all my questions and was very informative. After I decided what I wanted to do, Rick called and had a new water heater delivered. It only took a few hours and the work was very well done.

I did not feel confident with this technician. I called the company and they said that if our problem wasn't resolved, they would send out a different person at no cost to us. I felt this was a satisfactory solution.
Description of Work: Our sinks and toilets had been making blurping sounds and not seeming to drain well. The technician couldn't figure out what was wrong. He did change out the air vent on the sink plumbing to see if this would solve the problem.

Discovered leak under kitchen sink and called Roby's since we had used them before. They came out on the same day we called. Plumber checked problem and asked if we wanted it repaired or replaced. We asked for an estimate on replacement and he had a listing with all plumbing charges, looked it up and we decided on replacement of both valves--only one was leaking. He had towels and mats to protect floors and work area, fixed the problem in probably less than half hour, cleaned up after himself and left the area as good if not better than he found it. We recommend this company highly.

It went fine; the plumber was finished in about 45 minutes, so this was a very easy job. He was very courteous and cleaned up the sink after he was finished with the installation.
Description of Work: The plumber installed a brand new kitchen faucet (including the connections to the garbage disposal and the dishwasher); the old faucet had already been removed; no parts required.

The technician, Kirk, was very nice, and they explained the features of the heater well. I was pleased with the price, it was competitive, after I had been very discouraged trying to get this from Home Depot. Kirk also looked at our kitchen faucet that was making erratic noises, and not working well. He quickly spotted the problem of some build-up in the faucet head. He cleaned this, and removed the aerator piece, and told us to soak that in vinegar to get the sediments removed (this service was no extra charge!). They were clean, friendly, and called before they arrived. Roby also sent us a thank you card for the business. We did not even get that when we purchased a new car!
Description of Work: Roby's installed a 40 gallon short gas water heater (Rheem) in our basement. They removed the old unit. The technician also spotted poor water pressure in our kitchen sink, and fixed this for no additional charge.

I was in a bind after hours with a rapidly flooding basement. They showed up quickly and installed the new pump quickly to get the water out of my basement. Of course I had to pay over $600 for a $140 sump pump in exchange for being saved.

The work report/statement lacked an itemized report. The plumber did not describe what was done. He was here no more than 20 minutes, smiled and left. (Part of my lack of information was due to the fact that I neglected to check w/office to inquire re: Basic "show up" charge, etc., when requesting the work, and failed to ask for an itemized statement; however, plumbers from previously used company always itemized their work on the work report/statement).

Water heater went out on Sunday. Found Roby's on Angie's List and called them at 7:00 am on Monday. I expected to get an answering machine, but Larry answered. Told him that our water heater was starting to leak and was producing extremely hot water. He had someone at our house by 9:00 am and we had a new water heater installed by 10:30. Rick came to evaluate our existing water heater. He gave us two options for replacements. We chose the smaller water heater and have been extremely happy with it. We were extremely pleased with their service!
Description of Work: Rick replaced water heater that was 14 years old. He was prompt in calling before he came. He put booties on before entering the house. After assessing the situation, he called to have the appropriate water heater delivered. The old one was drained and removed with no trace on our carpets or floors. He made sure the temperature was set to desired level.

I had used Roby's before to install a water heater and was pleased with their work. I called Roby's after my exterior water faucet stopped completely shutting off and after the guy at the hardware store recommended it might not be a "do-it-myself" job. They called the afternoon before to say the technician would be 1/2 hour later than originally scheduled. The technician was prompt and efficient and left no mess. I also appreciate that they charge by the job, not by the hour. My plumbing is old and the job probably took a lot longer (a couple of hours altogether) than it would in a newer house, but I wasn't surprised by the bill. It's also nice that they send a thank-you card (with coupon for the next call) after the job is done!
Description of Work: Replaced leaking exterior faucet with copper model less prone to freezing.
