Joe was very helpful and sincere. Did work, cleaned up asked if cleaned up enough-everything was great. Would have them again.
Description of Work: We had a small copper pipe in the basement with a small leak at one of the original seals (house around 25 years old). Joe repaired and was very helpful with other questions. Very pleased with work.

Dave is friendly and professional and did an excellent job. It was a rainy day when he did this, but he didn't leave any trace of dirt, water, or mud in any part of the house. We like the warranty that includes both parts and labor. We recommend him highly.
Description of Work: We found our water heater tank leaking when we came back from a vacation, so we called Roby's. Dave came to evaluate the condition of the water heater (it is in the basement), and recommended to get a new one. He arranged to have the new tank delivered the same afternoon, and the job was done in a few hours. The price includes 10 year parts and labor warranty.

Job 1: I called the office after they had closed. They called me promptly the following morning & arranged a time for them to come out & look at the issue. The person doing the repair called to tell me when he was leaving the office & when he would arrive on the day of the repair. He arrived at the scheduled time. I showed him the problem & he showed me what he needed to do to fix it, & showed me in his pricing book what it would cost. The work was done timely & to my satisfaction. They arrived on time, the work was completed & he was on his way .Very professional & organized business. I would recommend them to friends & family. Job 2: The plumber was on time, polite & explained exactly what he would be doing. I say the job is reasonably priced because plumbing in general is expensive. The new faucet installation seems pricey but after checking other Angie's List reports on three other large plumbing companies in the area, they all charge at least $200 to install a new faucet.
Description of Work: Job 1: I had a guest toilet that has been leaking periodically for years. It would leak behind the flush handle because the float wouldn't stay down. The water level would stay very high and lead to a leak behind the flush handle. The person who performed the repair replaced the entire workings in the tank, due to the parts being cracked and improperly installed originally.($159.) Job 2: Installed a faucet I had purchased ($242) and installed new tub drain stopper which I broke ($95). Total amount paid for work includes the Angie's List coupon of $20 off total job.($317.)

Worked with me on diagnosis, and were very professional and courteous. Appreciated their documentation of the problem from the previous installer and their encouragement for me to first call the other installer to see if the 20 month old pump was still under warranty before having me sign the estimate. They even waited while I had a call with the previous installer. I trust Roby's and have been very pleased with their service and performance.

The work was performed well, and was explained to me as it was done. I thought the plumber worked quickly and was very professional. I have used Roby in the past for other matters and will call it again.
Description of Work: Roby corrected a number of items noted on the inspection report for a townhouse we purchased, including replacing a leaking valve above the water heater, eliminating a double trap for the garbage disposal, and eliminating a leak from the shower head.

Showed up 40 minutes late after the 10am-1pm window. Outdoor faucet was leaking and they replaced a washer on the faucet. Were here for approximately 15 minutes and charged $130. Was not happy waiting all day for the guy to show up and the price seemed too expensive. Problem was fixed, so that is a plus.

I felt this representative was driving up the price of his service call for some reason. He was very difficult to reach that day and clearly lied to us. He has done work at the house before and I thought the price of prior jobs seemed high, but I am not a plumbing expert. I trust Angie's List and was shocked that this happened. Needless to say, I will never use Roby's again.
Description of Work: I contacted Roby's for an emergency service request on a Saturday. The contractor called me back and indicated he thought he could do the work for around $382.00, and around 4 pm he met me at the rental property. When he realized he did not have the part (b/c I told him it was an electric water heater and it was gas), he indicated that the service call would be $215.00 and also a much more expensive part. I apologized for being wrong and said I did not know for sure which it was b/c I did not live at the property any more and was not looking at the water heater, but he never indicated that service charge to me. He was visibly upset when we said, "you never indicated that is what the cost for the service call would be." He only indicated (what I believed) was the cost for the parts and labor. When I called Roby's office the following Monday, they indicated the most one should pay for an emergency weekend service call was $75.00

Response from Roby's Plumbing
WE WERE TOLD THE SERVICE CALL WAS FOR AN ELECTRIC WATER HEATER AND WE QUOTED A PRICE FOR THE REPAIR. WHEN WE ARRIVED, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE WATER HEATER WAS NOT AN ELECTRIC BUT WAS A GAS WATER HEATER. OUR PLUMBER DID NOT HAVE THE REPAIR PART FOR THE GAS HEATER. HE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A SPECIAL TRIP TO OBTAIN THE PART. THE $215.00 INCLUDED COMING OUT TO THE HOME AND TRAVELING TO GET THE PART. THE CUSTOMER SAID THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING THE THE WATER HEATER REPAIRED. WE DID NOT CHARGE THE CUSTOMER ANYTHING FOR OUR TRIP TO THEIR HOME. THEY HAD A PLUMBER COME TO THEIR RESIDENCE AFTER HOURS ON A SATURDAY TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM AND WERE NOT CHARGED A SINGLE CENT. WE DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS COMPLAINT IS VALID.

BEWARE, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT THE RIDICULOUSLY HIGH COST OF SERVICE IS ONLY AFTER THEY'VE CHARGED YOU TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM! THE ONLY GOOD THING I CAN SAY ABOUT ROBY'S IS THEY CAME OUT THE SAME DAY I CALLED. THE PLUMBER BASHED HOLES INTO MY CEILING WITH A HAMMER, RATHER THAN CUTTING A PIECE OUT WHICH COULD THEN EASILY BE REPLACED AND PATCHED. THE TEXTURE WILL NEVER MATCH AGAIN. UNLESS I HIRE A SPECIALIST. ONLY AFTER CHARGING ME $150 FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC WORK DID HE TELL ME THE COST TO REPLACE THE SHOWER DRAIN WOULD BE $520. THE PRICE SEEMED AWFULLY HIGH, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH WORK WOULD BE INVOLVED, AND THE MAN WAS SO RUDE AND DISMISSIVE HE WOULDN'T REALLY ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. IT TURNS OUT HE WAS HERE FOR LESS THAN THREE HOURS, CHARGING ABOUT $200 AN HOUR. DOCTORS MAKE LESS MONEY THAN THIS! THEY SENT ME A COMMENT CARD AFTERWARDS, AND I SENT THEM A COMPLAINT LETTER TO WHICH THEY NEVER RESPONDED. THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR REPEAT BUSINESS OR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.
Description of Work: REPLACED LEAKING SHOWER DRAIN. HAD EASY ACCESS THROUGH GARAGE CEILING BELOW, BUT TORE UP DRYWALL ANYWAY. COST OF MATERIALS SMALL. TOOK 2.5 HOURS.

VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, PLEASANT AND EXCEPTIONALLY NEAT. COMPLETED MOST OF THE WORK, BUT STILL TRYING TO LOCATE A PART FOR AN OLDER FAUCET TO AVOID HAVING TO BREAK INTO THE WALL. HE EXPLAINED THE OPTIONS FOR THIS REMAINING JOB, AND I APPRECIATE THAT THE COMPANY IS DOING RESEARCH IN ORDER TO AVOID TURNING THIS INTO A BIGGER PROJECT.
