I found this company on Angies list and read the reviews from other costomers. The set up an appointment the same day as my call. The plumber was very curtious and also did a very good job. I would certainly recommend them.
Description of Work: The plumber arrived during the specified time, did a very good job and best of all was happy to accept the $30.00 coupon found on their site.

Company was helpful from the first call, which was answered by an actual person who actually worked for the company. Visit scheduled promptly; pre-call made as promised; plumber arrived promptly, checked out the work, and gave a quote. Toilet apparently has a block in it, not the drain. Plumber gave estimate for replacing the toilet - hugely expensive, so we opted to get toilet and installation elsewhere.
Description of Work: Snaked then pulled toilet to clear clog.

Mike and Paul were courteous, professional, and cheerful despite some access issues and having to break bad news to me several times -- problems can be more extensive in older homes than they appear on the surface. Net-net, upstairs toilet and leaking valve and downstairs toilet were replaced, the area was tidied, and the running water-torture heard each night for the past few weeks is over.
Description of Work: Replaced two toilets and valve

Repairs got done but, don't feel the repairs were explained on my level. Will go elsewhere.
Description of Work: Gas heater is 20+ years. Bought coupon and scheduled time for inspection. Showed up on time. Service rep was courteous. While here discovered thermo coyle was broken. and repaired broken condersate drain. Also, check back pipes for possible leaks over bathtub. Got a discount off the coupon for the inspection and tune up. Just wished the prices would have been explained upfront.

Response from Papalia Home Services
Member, I would like to address your concerns and thank you for bringing them to our attention. We are always looking for ways to improve our business and strive to create 100% customer satisfaction. The technician’s came out at no charge because you are a valued Angie's list customer. He created a summary of findings with your different options. The first option would have been the replacement of the shower valve, the second a rebuild, and the third a minor repair. We apologize that these options seemed to be high. We would like to address your concern if you are willing. Thank you again for taking the time to review our business. We take all reviews seriously and value your comments for the better of the company.

They were great. They were on time. I thought their prices were very reasonable. The plumbers were very professional. The people on the phone when I made my appointments were great. The last time I called, I was hysterical because I got my grandmother's diamond earring down the drain. They came that day and fished it out. I only have positive experiences with them. They do the job that they should do. They are a great company. I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: I dropped an earring down the drain and Papalia Plumbing & Heating came out and found it.

They were courteous, punctual. It took 10 min and $89 to tell me everyhting looks good. Not sure I wanted bad news but I defintely did not get a feeling they did anything too detailed. Again since I am not a plumber I assume they did do the service I paid for but some explanataion of what they were looking for, what to watch out for etc would have been nice
Description of Work: Not sure what the service entailed however I paid them to check/maintain the heating system prior to season.

Papalia sent a rep to the job site the next day. Estimate of $835 included disposal of toilet only. Amount paid to another supplier for actual work was $300 for the disconnect of the 4 plumbing fixtures as well as the removal of the toilet flange and shower valve, moved water supply line and disposal of all fixtures and the vanity. The work was completed by 2 men in 2 hours.
Description of Work: Requested estimate for bathroom remodel plumbing disconnect of 1 cast iron tub, 1 toilet and 2 sinks.

Response from Papalia Home Services
Victoria, we feel there may have been a miscommunication and we apologize. After reviewing your paperwork carefully, we have found that the $835.00 you were quoted was for all the work involved. To remove and dispose of the toilet, it was $99.00. The $835 covered the removal of the toilet, capping water lines, and removing a cast iron tub. There may have been some confusion with the summary of findings and again, we apologize. We take these matters seriously and review each Angie's list comment carefully. We would be more than happy to discuss this concern in more detail. Thank you for your feedback.

A plumber from Papalia showed up 15 minutes after calling. He quoted a price out of his price book. He started removing the old tank while waiting for the new one to arrive. He installed the new one with a new pan underneath to catch water that might come from future leaks. The whole job was done in about 4 hours.
Description of Work: My water heater tank gave out around noontime. Papalia had the new heater in and running by 4:30PM. The only downside was the price, which was about 50% more than I could have gotten shopping around and waiting 24 hours.

He said I would need to replace the entire boiler, for $1000.00, or said I could buy an $853 auto water feed. Mike the supervisor called me to discuss the issue. The supervisor offered to come out, but I was uncomfortable and told them no thanks at this point. I do appreciate the responsiveness they showed to my concern.

We arrived home Friday morning after a work trip to two notable things: the advent of the Blizzard of 2013, aka Nemo, and a burst heating pipe that was dripping water all over the newly installed carpet in a basement room. Despite the snow, which was increasing in intensity by the minute, Papalia Plumbing sent Scott out and he arrived within 45 minutes. He fixed the pipe, bled the system and had us up and running in 90 minutes -- and then headed back out into the snow. All the time he kept up his good cheer and professionalism. Highest marks to Papalia and Scott for getting us safely through the Blizzard of 2013. It could have been a cold, cold couple of days.

A leak in laundry room prompted me to contact Papalia. Within an hour of submitting request via email I received a phone call from Papalia. Once they felt comfortable that this was not an emergency they scheduled a plumber to visit 4 days later. The plumber arrived on schedule, and was able to attend to all the other plumbing items I had meant to get fixed over the past year. Being winter, having the kickboard heater in the kitchen replaced was important. The plumber was professional, used drop clothes to keep area clean and cleaned up after himself. Price quoted was price charged - no surprises.
Description of Work: Replace kickboard heater in kitchen Replace drain mechanism in bathroom sink Replace shower head Replace washer in hose to water intake connection in laundry room

The technician arrived on time, was very courteous, performed the check up, and answered my questions. He even did a partial bleed of the system because I had complained about some noise. He said he would have to charge for a full bleed, but it wasn't clear that this was needed. So, I declined that. He assured me that the system was working well.
Description of Work: I purchased a "big deal" with Papalia Plumbing and Heating to do a heating system check up. The same company had installed a new boiler and hot water heater for me about 1-1/2 years ago.

On Friday morning 1/25/2013, I had virtually no hot water and I found my hot water heater leaking in the basement at 7:15 AM. I called Papalia. They had a Tech at my house by 9:30 AM that morning. The water heater needed replacement (the tank was perished) and they immediately located a replacement heater, went and got it, removed the old heater and installed the new. The job was all done by 2 PM. These guys are great....I give them straight A's except for price. Price was only a B because I did not have time to comparison shop. The Tech who came was helpful and patient. I even saved $30 with a coupon from Angie's List!

This was a difficult repair that involved figuring out a complex, energy-efficient Buderus system and replacing thermostats and automatic sensors in the house that we had mistakenly removed when we moved into the house last year. Mr. St. Hilaire was very patient, willing to do extra research, and persistent. He solved a difficult problem, tried to save us money, and educated us along the way about how our Buderus system worked.

They where able to schedule an appointment within a couple of days. They gave me a three hour time window, but then the main office called to tell me when the technician was on his way.
