I was extremely happy with Mr. Z, who always took time to not only explain the problem, but also demonstrate to me how to fix it myself going forward (such as cleaning the tankless how water heather). It seems some folks found him a bit chatty, but I didn't mind that since he wasn't charging an hourly rate and spoke mostly about the considerations of certain repairs. He installed a new air valve on an outdoor faucet that had ruptured from the cold....going the extra distance to replace the entire outdoor pipe for a minor additional charge. He very kindly went through the house and gave tips on how to clean our faucets and then more or less did the small stuff for free. I was shocked. I was extremely happy with his services and now have his magnet on my fridge which I plan to make him our go-to guy.

Awesome!! Super nice and super knowledgeable. I called on Sunday and he was here on Monday. The connectors around the valve were cracked which caused water to flood part of the basement. Assessed the problem, went to Home Depot came back and fixed it. He was able to explain what happened and showed me how he fixed it...tested the install. This cat is going to be my go to plumber.

My score of overall experience would be A++. Arrived on time, All projects asked went smoothly, Mr. G (Payless Plumbing) took time to explain every and all work he was preforming. Was given choice in plan of action to take when more than 1 option was available, to save time and expense. Noticed his attention to detail in cleaning and inspecting all projects he preformed. Much to my surprise he removed all packaging which the toilet came in (placed by back door) & removed old toilet which I had assumed I would have to dispose of, especially the packaging. I have enlisted Mr. G ( Payless Plumbing) to assist with more projects in near future, his Professional, Knowledgeable & Overall Quality of Services made me feel I was getting a true and honest Plumber after performance this day. Will definently recommend Payless Plumbing to others. It was a Positive experience which " I Thank Angie's List" for the opportunity of getting a qualified Plumber @ reasonable rate. This is a very old house which requires an experienced plumber which will not gouge my wallet due to address, take time to explain, and given the "option" of course of actions to be taken regarding expense.
Description of Work: Spoke to Mr.G to explain what work needed to be done: Replace 2nd floor toilet (which I ordered) he assisted me with proper measurements of rough in's (12 inch from wall to tie down bolts) Clients do not always measure right distance which causes issues for installation. Replace water main from wall (leaking when you turn to off position) Toilet water valve. Leaking bathtub faucet (hot water) replace stem, bought whole fixture thinking to change out, until he arrived expressing he would have to cut out access panel due to old house -panel was not exposing access to fixture which need to be sweated, declined, went to hardware store with stem to replace. Mr. G explained in detail what to purchase and how to make sure it was right part . Under kitchen sink leaking from drain/ plastic pipe from sink to u trap, he placed washers which corrected water leaking immediately. Mr. G was professional, detailed, timely in his work, cleaned as he went, and quite personable.

They were fine. I wasn't crazy about him, but I was pleased with the work. He showed up on time and did the work promptly. The price was very good.
Description of Work: My disposal was stuck, and there was a crack in the nut in the pipe under the sink. He replaced the nut and unclogged the disposal.

I set up the appointment via the email address. I received a quick response from the plumber, Zivko, who came on time. He spent considerable time showing me how to make sure that the pipe leading out to the faucet was drained of water to prevent problems during the Winter. He was very patient and demonstrated how I should do this. He was outgoing and communicated concepts clearly. This Angie's List Big Deal was an overall success! I plan to use Payless Plumbing again!
Description of Work: I had a 2 hour Angie's List Big Deal for $99. I needed to have my front outdoor faucet checked for leaking as well as an estimate for having a new outdoor faucet in the back of my house. The plumber, Zivko, was able to to confirm that there was no leaking problem with my outdoor faucet. However, he did find a problem with 2 old on/off valves located under the vanity cabinet in my powder room. The hardware cost was minimal at $35.00 ... so I had him make the repair. He also explained how he would install an outdoor faucet in my backyard. This included where he would do it as well as how much time and estimated cost of for the work. After discussing this with him, I plan to to have this done next Spring. He also found a problem with my water meter and recommended that I contact WSSC to replace it.

I bought a coupon for two hours of service, through Angie's List. I emailed the owner (I cannot remember his name), he responded that day. He actually showed one day early, but at the time we set in our email correspondence (he knew that I was home for a stretch of time, recuperating from some surgery). He got the leak fixed in about one-half hour, and was out of my house in 45 minutes, after inquiring if I needed him to look at or do anything else. I was impressed with his pleasantness and his work was first rate.
Description of Work: I had a leak under my kitchen sink that needed to be fixed, and it got fixed.

I called on a Thursday and was able to get an appointment for the next day. He arrived 5 minutes early. When he realized that he would need to replace the garbage disposal and pop-up stopper, he made a quick run to Home Depot to purchase supplies. He was very professional and made a point of explaining the work that he did. It was clear that he was interested in doing a good job. He was very pleasant and had a good sense of humor---a nice guy. And he cleaned up after himself.

Zivko called promptly following my initial call and then called back a few hours later to let me know he was on his way. He talked as he inspected letting me know what it was he was looking for that would have caused the problem. He found the problem after about twenty minutes. made the repair in about five minutes and for ten minutesgave me additional pointers on how to keep this problem from recurring in the future. He was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I would use him again.
Description of Work: Zivko did a thorough inspection of my utility room and master bathroom as there were sewer gas orders in both locations. He eventually located the problem in the toilet of the master bathroom, which had no water in the toilet bowl for over six months, and repaired a cracked piece of the plumbing unit inside the toilet and then released water back into the bowl.

I was very happy with the plumber. It was half the cost of what I was expecting. He was extremely nice. I didn’t have any dislikes. I wish I had more for him to do. His professionalism was okay because he was a little chatty. I would use him again in the future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Payless Plumbing about a month ago. He installed a kitchen sink faucet for me. I needed a lot of extra work because I have an old house. He not only had to install a faucet, but had to replace some piping.

The work done was professional and not half-fast. He kept the work area clean and thoroughly checked everything before saying the job was complete and ready for review.
Description of Work: Replaced a standard shower valve with a scald resistant shower valve. He was available when I needed him and arrived when he said he would. This plumber is much cheaper than others but you still get professional work. We would use this plumber again.

I would highly recommend his services to my family, friends and neighbors. I've used Zivko at Payless Plumbing several times before and I have always been very happy with the quality of services and his professionalism. I knew I could rely on Payless Plumbing when I really needed help. Thank you Zivko!
Description of Work: During a recent storm we lost power and the back-up battery sump pump in my basement failed. The water flooded my entire basement. I called Zivko at Payless Plumbing and he came out immediately and even brought with him his own generator. He quickly got the water out, diagnosed the problem with the sump pump and got it working again. Zivko even offered several suggestions on what to do to prevent this from happening again.

Z was very quick and very professional. I should also say very contientous of the normal "droppings" that many service professionals leave behind after a job, so I really appreciated that. Faucet and pressure are still great months later. He even installed a bleeder in a convenient location to make bleeding the lines before winter very easy.

He was punctual, friendly, and courteous. He did the work very well even when the job would take longer to complete than he thought due to previous sloppy conditions of plumbing in the house. He was very handy and practical. He demonstrated how to take care of the parts for lasting use. We were comfortable having him around fixing and explaining things. Very helpful. Would hire him again. Would refer him to others.

He was very responsive although he didn't have a snake to clear out the drain, which I thought was part of their kit. He did have some other ways to clear out the drain so he was successful in doing that. It was a one-man operation. Overall I was satisfied with his service. It was a Big Deal that I had purchased so it was a good deal because it would have been several hundred dollars. He called me back very quickly and we sat up an appointment. He had to come back within a few days because he didn’t have the right tools. He was a very friendly guy. He was probably the friendliest plumber that I have ever met. I would consider using him again.

I purchased the "Big Deal" with Payless Plumbing for 2 hours of service because our garbage disposal has not been working correctly and has been leaking. On the phone when we scheduled the appt. he suggested that I buy a new one and he would install it. When he arrived, he was able to easily repair the old disposal and stop the leak, and told us we did not need the new one, which I returned. Since we had 2 hours of services already paid for, we also had him unclog a sink (which another plumber had told me nothing was wrong with), and evaluate our hot water tank, which is also not working correctly. Another plumber had told me we'd have to replace the tank, but he said that the elements could be replaced and it would be fine, given that it's not that old and that there are no signs of corrosion or leaking. We have not repaired the water tank yet, but I very much appreciated Payless Plumbing's honesty, and ability to repair things rather than replace them. We will certainly call him again for all of our plumbing needs. He was prompt, professional, and honest. Our garbage disposal is still working, and he also showed my husband what he did to repair it in case the problem happens again in the future, so we can fix it on our own. I have already referred Payless Plumbing to family members, who have also called him and been very happy with his services.
