plumbing, water heater repair

I called Len Saturday afternoon at 3 oclock and told the pleasant person that I needed a water heater. I told her about the symptoms and that this was not an emergency. She said that someone could be here with a new heater in 20 minutes. Half an hour later she called back and said that the truck had a flat tire and she would contact another one of Lens plumbers. At 4:20 PM the promised truck arrived. A friendly plumber looked at the work to be done, went to the truck and came back with an estimate. I thought it was a little high, but I agreed to the price. The work was very neatly done. By 5:20 the job was complete.
Description of Work: Come to the house, estimate the cost of replacing the electric water heater, and do the replacement.

I discovered a slow leak in the cold water pipe feeding my hot water heater. Called Len at about 3 pm on Sunday and a plumber came to my house by 9 am on Monday. The plumber had to come to my house and inspect my leak before providing an estimate; the cost for the estimate was $29 and was in addition to the cost of any work ($346)done. We came to an agreement on the price before the work started. The price is based on a flat rate for certain types of jobs rather than a cost based on actual time and materials. I thought the price was on the high side for two hours work, but the work was done professionally and to my satisfaction. The plumber could have done a better job of protecting my floor and cleaning up stray solder from the repair. The work was guaranteed for one year.
Description of Work: Replaced two 90 degree copper water pipe fittings.

No estimate of work beforehand, jobs are not charged on hourly rate, but by National price book. Turns out that the National price book is rated to the neighborhood. The more affluent the community is, the higher the price charged. I will NEVER call them again.
Description of Work: Install garbage disposal that we purchased for $197.00, took 30 minutes to install the kitchen faucet that we purchased for fee of $197.00; took 20 minutes to inspect leaking shower pan and find leak. Not done

Response from Len The Plumber, LLC.
LEN THE PLUMBER'S PRICING GUIDE IS NOT RATED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT'S JUST THE CONTRARY. UNLIKE MOST SERVICE COMPANIES THAT FIGURE UP A PRICE IN THEIR HEAD, WE USE A PRINTED PRICE LIST TO ENSURE EVERYONE IS CHARGED EQUALLY AND FAIRLY. IT'S THE MAIN REASON OUR CLIENTS LOVE OUR BOOK!

I called on a Monday morning and was told that a plumber would be sent out the same day between noon and four. He arrived between 1 and 1:30 and was done before 3:00.
Description of Work: The plumber rebuilt the parts in the toilet tank in our powder room. He also installed a new kitchen faucet and sprayer.

Plumber was called and came the same day. Diagnosed the problem quickly and made repairs efficiently. Technician did use up more of my paper towels to wipe up than I would have liked. But the company provided rapid service and that's what counted in this situation.

The plumber showed up on time and was here for about 20-30 minutes looking at the room and our boiler and existing system. He didn't seem to think there was a way to easily tie into the system, but said he would write it up anyway. He also offered to write up an estimate for heating the room with a direct vent gas heater, to which I said OK. He said he'd get the estimate to me the following week. I waited two or three weeks, and then finally called their office. Someone told me that the plumber would call me the next day, but he never did. Another two weeks went by and someone from the office called to find out if I'd ever gotten an estimate. I said no, and he apologized but didn't explain why I didn't get the estimate. The up side is that they never charged me for it either. We ended up using someone else for the job.
Description of Work: A plumber came out to look at the job and give an estimate. It was for adding hot water baseboard heat to an addition on our house and connecting it to the existing boiler.

Absolutely miserable, I would not use them again. After the tech came out (who was very nice), I went on vacation. When I returned, one of our faucets in the bath tub had a steady, small stream of water running from it. No one had used the bathtub while we were away, and this had never occurred previously, which seems clear to me that it occurred when he took everything apart. When I called to speak to someone, the lady was extremely rude. She tried to charge me to come back out to fix it. I told her I did not feel that was right since it was something that occurred on their first visit. She then said shed need a manager approval, and Id have to wait until Monday. I told her I was sure she had a way to contact him in the event of an emergency. She asked me why I was being mean to her, and then proceeded to hang up on me. I tried to call back and she would repeatedly pick up the phone and hang it up. Horrible service. Trust me you can do better for your money.
Description of Work: We had clogged drains and poor water pressure in 1 of our bathrooms. The tech plunged/snaked the drains, and tightened a washer to fix the water pressure.

Mike the plumber showed up for the initial visit on time, gave me an estimate, and made an appointment to do the work. He returned when he promised, was on time, performed the work, and kept to the estimate. He was polite, professional, and diligent. I will use Len (Mike) the Plumber again. The only complaint I have is the initial visit charge. If I call you to get an estimate and go with someone else, by all means charge me. If I call you and tell you ahead of time I'm hiring you to do the work, don't charge me. Add $29 to your final estimate, but don't tell me you are charging me for it. Everyone will be happier.
Description of Work: Replaced 10' cast iron drain pipe in basement with PVC pipe. Ran a snake down the bathroom pipe. Performed a safety check on all gas piping. All work was done quickly and professionally. No mess was left behind.

Jason was very helpful. He made recommendations for the new installation that reduced cost. He advised waiting to repair the bath until problem reoccurred routinely & then suggested a repair vs replacement that would be approx $150 vs $500-600. They did the work very quickly. It was a pleasure to deal with this firm. Although somewhat expensive, I value the quality of the work, and how quickly the job was done.
Description of Work: Repaired pipe leading to hose-bib under inaccessible crawlspace. Required cutting through laundry room floor. Installed second hose bid for rooftop deck. Also, checked intermittent leak for bath faucet.

I found the experience working with Len the Plumber to be very good. The mark for punctuality would have been higher but I was scheduled for the previous day, but the plumber's last job lasted longer then he had anticipated but the company did call to inform me of what had happened.
Description of Work: Installed a new Handle Tub/Shower Valve assembly which required welding the new fixture into my plumbing system. This was done from the access panel of my bathroom. He had to enlarge the holes for the fixture to go into. He had to chip away part of my tile and he was very careful as he completed the process. He informed and showed me where the original shower and tub pipes where out of align. He explained to me what he would need to do to correct the problem. He also informed me that it could cause damage to my tile and that I would have to okay the process before he would do it but he could not fix the problem and that I may need to pay for tile work. I authorized the procedure and he took as much care as possible while he was doing the job, and he did it without causing any damage.

This took 2 calls, because despite ads saying they carry lots of parts, 1st tech didn't have the right supplies. He cleared the tub drain, using just a plunger (mine!) & charged $125, which I thought was a bit high. He diagnosed the problem with the toilet & sink drains, but didn't fix them. The rest of the repairs weren't completed until the next weekend. Despite ads of being available at a wide range of times, I was told they wouldn't have anyone in my area available to work in the evening for a long time. The 2nd tech, Chris, was great. He completed the work, rebuilt the toilet, and cleaned out the sink drains. When he didn't have the necessary parts, he went out & bought them. (I'm not clear why the first guy didn't do that). Unfortunately he also discovered one of the sinks was rusted out and leaking. He gave me info on trying to find replacements, since the square sinks are apparently no longer being used. Would use again. Very professional, courteous, and informative.
Description of Work: Opened drains in bathtub and double vanity sinks. Replaced stopper assembly in sinks. Repaired (rebuilt the inside of) a running toilet.

I was remodeling a bathroom and needed work related to a shower replacement, as well as replacement of bathroom sink faucets, etc. The plumber came and gave an estimate ($2000), which I thought was reasonable, but as soon as he began work, he stated more work was required and that job was going to cost at least double the estimate. Since I was being sandbagged, I decided to send him packing. I lost $29 for the visit for the estimate and $100 for the aborted work.
Description of Work: They did plumbing related to a bathroom remodel (installed a waterproof shower membrane, replaced sink faucets, removed and replaced toilet).

They did not come to give me an estimate when they said they would. I called them and they said they got busy. They rescheduled me for the first job the following morning. They did the work. They did not clean up very well and I have mud stains on my carpet to clean. The work appears to have been done well.

Heres how it works: Call them and arrange for them to come by. Its $29 for a trip charge. They dont charge an hourly rate, so you dont know what theyll be charging for the job until they get there. Seems like a strange way to do business to me. I could not get anyone on the phone except the woman who answered the phone. I guess plumbers are in high demand.
Description of Work: None. I didnt think that their way of doing business gave me an idea of what they would be charging. There is no minimum charge for a simple repair.

Plumbers were polite and professional, but a followup, at no charge, was required for a leak. I thought the charge was high, but we did agree to it in advance.
Description of Work: Two plumbers worked together to unclog the vents from the bathrooms. This required one plumber to go on the roof. The work took a few hours for the two plumbers.

Response from Len The Plumber, LLC.
THE FEE TO SEND A PROFESSIONAL TECHNICIAN AND OUR WAREHOUSE ON WHEELS, TO SOMEONE'S HOME IS A VERY REASONABLE $29. AS WITH A DENTIST, DOCTOR, CARPENTER, ROOFER, LAWYER OR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL, IT IS NOT GOOD PRACTICE TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE ON SOMETHING THAT CAN NOT BE SEEN AND PROPERLY DIAGNOSED. MOST HOMEOWNERS DON'T UNDERSTAND THEIR PLUMBING SYSTEMS. RARELY CAN A HOMEOWNER DIAGNOSE HIS/HER OWN PROBLEM THOROUGHLY ENOUGH FOR US TO GIVE THAT PERSON AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR CONSIDERING LEN THE PLUMBER!

I cannot explain how refreshing it was to have Mr. Harris give reasonable advice and, in my opinion, honest assessment of the areas I had in question. I would hire Len the Plumber again and would ask for Mr. Harris as my technician.
Description of Work: Mike Harris arrived, checked front and back hose bibs, turned on the water to the back hose bibs and said it was fine and working well. He then was to replace the sprayer on my kitchen sink. As it turned out, the faucet was quite old and in need of replacement altogether. I had suspected this and was happy to know that Mr. Harris had faucet sets on his truck and could replace it immediately. After showing me several models and giving me prices, Mr. Harris installed the faucet and did not tell me the job was complete until he was satisfied that the new faucet was working 100% correctly. This took many adjustments and quite a bit of extra time.
