Jim came out bright and early on Monday morning and got right to work. He was very personable and explained what he was going to do. He was very careful about my granite tile counter tops and cleaned up after himself. He did a beautiful job even though the sink was a pain to install with my thick counter top. When we change our kitchen counter top we will be calling LaMartina Plumbing again because of Jim's meticulous work. Couldn't be happier!
Description of Work: I called Tony to get a quote on the installation of a new kitchen sink and faucet that I had pre purchased. Not only did he personally answer the phone but Tony answered all my questions and gave me advice about what kind of sink and faucet to purchase. He was the only plumber that I called that took the time to ask questions about what I was wanting done. He was able to schedule the job right away and even called the Friday before to see if I had gotten the sink I wanted just in case he had to order one for me.

They did a good job. They came out twice; the first time they came out, they attempted to fix our original water heater (which turned out to be faulty). The pipes started leaking and became corroded. They removed the portion of the water heater that was defective along with those pipes, but were concerned about whether or not a gasket would open up correctly. When it ended up not working, they came out (with no additional service fee) to replace the water heater.

It went quite well. Among all of the services that I have used, finding a good, competent, reliable plumbing services has proven the most difficult. I plan to continue to use Tony LaMartina. As an added bonus, if you like Sinatra, that appears to be the only "on hold" music used.
Description of Work: I have actually used this company twice now for plumbing services. After contacting them, I have been able to arrange next day service. The individual plumber shows up on time and the work is performed in a professional manner. The first time, the services were such that I was billed. The invoice was extremely detailed accounting for every screw that was used. The second time, the work was such that I was asked to pay at the time. I truly don't remember the exact amount of either bill, but neither appeared excessive or outside the bounds of what I had expected.

Mr. LaMartina's reference was able to come and check out my gas leaks the same day, but I was very grateful for his help. Without it I would likely have gone much longer without heat. Thank you!
Description of Work: Spoke to Mr. LaMartina on the phone in regards to a gas leak at my residence. Mr. LaMartina quickly apprehended the urgency of my situation, since my gas was being shut off until the leaks were mended, and unhesitatingly gave me the name and phone number of another provider who could help me immediately.

First, the convenience of having an online appointment request form was terrific! Within just minutes of submitting the request, I received a personal email confirming an appointment time on the day I requested. Awesome start, especially as it was the weekend! Jim arrived within the service window, and was courteous, fast and very thorough. He quickly repaired the corroded pipe that had snapped during my attempt to replace the p-trap on my bathroom sink, installed a new pop-up drain assembly and associated pipes going back to the wall. Jim also noticed that I have low hot-water pressure, and offered to check it out. He offered some great options for affordably addressing the issue that wouldn't break my budget, as I had feared. Very reassuring to know, and I will definitely be calling them back for an estimate on how we can get started. I received an emailed invoice within 24 hours of service, which was terrific, and was able to easily pay online. The easy online service request and rapid response, helpful, courteous and fast service, then the easy online payment made this a very positive experience (I dread old-house plumbing fixes...not so much any more!). I called Tony LaMartina plumbing based on Angie's List reviews, and every glowing report is well-deserved. I'm looking forward to working with them on future projects. NOTE: There are two LaMartina plumbing companies that come up on Google, as I found out when I had to look for the phone number on the morning of the service call. While the people over at LaMartina in Maplewood sounded very nice on the phone, they are NOT the same as Tony LaMartina plumbing, which is the company that I'd read reviews on here and who did the work described in this report. Just FYI.
Description of Work: Replace pop-up drain assembly, tailpipe, p-trap and pipe connection to wall for bathroom sink. Attempted DIY, but pipes were old and corroded and one had snapped off - figured it was time to call in the pros.

It went extremely well. Tony was very informative. I like that they only have 3 plumbers. Jim did the plumbing work. He was very friendly, educated and presentable. He did great work and explained things to me and gave me suggestions. What I also liked was that Tony (the owner) does the billing, not the individual plumbers. I recieved the invoice within a couple of days and the amount was lower than expected. Very professional, organized and honest. I will use them again and recommend them to others.

They were prompt, courteous, and understood how to fix our problem as described over the telephone. The took apart the Mixer on our Shower System and thoroughly cleaned all the screens and fitings. They reassembled the Mixer and adjusted and tested the Water Pressure. I can honestly say that it works better now than when originally installed.

Everything was done on a very professional level from the initial phone contact to finishing the job promptly and with complete cleanup afterwards. I would have no hesitation recommending this company to others and will depend on them in the future for all my plumbing needs. A thoroughly satisfactory experience. The price was on the high side, but well worth the quality and professionalism of the work.

I got them off of Angie's List. I had intended to have them do more and then I had to have hip replacement surgery and I got off to crack altogether. I have the plumbing, the fixtures to put in for the rest of the bathroom, but I have to decide on what I'm going to do. I'm the one who's holding up things, not him. I would definitely use him again in the future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Tony Lamartina Plumbing Co in April. They replaced the fixtures in my upstairs bathroom. He replaced one in the bathtub in the bathroom and the other one in my bedroom sink.

Plumber arrived within one hour of placing call, and was able to pinpoint within just a few minutes exactly where the blockage was located. Using an auger type tool, he cleared the blockage, cleaned the pipe and sanitized the area of the basement where the backup occurred. Our plumber was efficient, professional and knowledgeable. We will definitely use the company again should the need arise. From the time of the call to full service restoration was less than two hours. Great job.

It turned out to be a big job. The old leaking led pipe had to be replaced by new piping up through the wall of the bathroom above it. Tony recommended people who removed the toilet and opened the wall. Then the plumber had to install new piping, and when the wall was repaired, he had to re-install the toilet. Tony's plumber was polite, pleasant, and efficient and did an excellent job.

Tony was very accomodating to my wife and I. We had a unique situation with a garbage disposal installation that caused us an issue about a year later. I'll just say Tony was very personable on the phone. He truly puts his customers first. I will definately use his company's services again in the future
Description of Work: Tony's company replaced an old garbage disposal for me about a year ago. At that time, Tony gave me advice to purchase the new disposal from my local hardware store because it would be cheaper for me to buy it that way instead of through his service. He sent an installer out to install the disposal. The service was very professional. In November of this year, we called Tony because we had a problem with our disposal working due to something locking up the motor. We subsequently lost power to the disposal. Tony sent a technician out and it was determined that there may be a defect in the disposal and the manufacturer should be contacted because it was still under warranty. The manufacturer dispatched someone from a different company to check the disposal out, and they discovered that the wiring nut had burned out and that caused the disposal to lose power. Once the power was restored, they were able to retrieve a dime that was lodged in the disposal's rotor. I was charged $95 dollars. When I was contacted by Tony a few days later, I explained to him what had happened. He surmised that the wiring nut from the old disposal was probably reused and the new disposal may have needed either a new nut or a different size. Tony said he instructed his technicians to carry additional wiring nuts with them in the future, and he made up for the oversight of the 2nd technician for not discovering the burned out wiring nut and reimbursed me fully for the second technician coming out to correct the issue and dislodging the dime that was locking up the disposal.

The plumber arrived exactly on time. He put covers on his shoes, which I appreciated greatly, and was polite and accomodating. The plumber was friendly and very nice, answering all my questions. He showed me the problem and fixed it. It was a very nice experiene. The plumber was nice enough to remind me of the coupon I could use for this first visit. Most importantly, the problem is completely fixed. I will use this company again when I need to. .
Description of Work: I had the hot water pressure continually decreasing at the kitchen sink. The plumber from Tony LaMartina Plumbing came in & opened the faucet, checked the line and found the problem exactly. He cleaned out and ran the lines until they were clear. There was a lot of plastic particles that clogged up the hot water line leading to the sink. There was a part missing from the faucet which the plumber noticed and replaced. The plumber was efficient and neat in his work, which was very much appreciated. He was friendly thoughout showing me the problem and fixing it.

shhat all the charges on all my utility bills are really for
Description of Work: 1. I needed to get the water main shut off valves replaced (both inside the house and at the street). The water company was insisting I do this so they could replace my water meter. This involved having the front yard dug up. The water company that was insisting I do this couldn't be bothered to tell me that the outside part of the work was covered by insurance the collected on my water bills on behalf of St. Louis County. I was unaware that this insurance existed and that I was paying $3.00 every month for it. I have no idea what all the charges on all my utility bills are really for. The most important service Tony performed was telling me about this insurance and even giving me the correct phone number to the St. Louis County office that handles the insurance. This saved me between $500 - $1,000. Tony got not one penny for all his help with this. I am very grateful. 2. After the shut off valve in the front yard was replaced, Tony replaced the shut off valve inside the house. I also had him replace 3 washers in the faucet for the bathroom shower. I was very pleased with all the work performed.

It went very well, I'll use this company again. Care was taken to replace concrete removed by drilling a larger diameter supply line hole and leave the work in a finished condition. The service visit was punctual and not rushed. The price quoted at the time of making the appointment (on the type of work sought) was "about $200" but the serviceman was unable to provide a specific price for the work upon completion, saying instead "you will get a bill". This bothered me as what company does work but then can't tell you what it cost? But, when the bill came it was indeed "about $200" which was the original estimate and reasonably couldn't be precise until actually seeing the job and performing the work. Still, this was a disconnect, I should have known what charge I was responsible for paying before the bill came in the mail. I selected this company because it was one of those that had received a number of Angie's List reviews, the comments posted were good, and the company was located no great distance from my location. The replacement faucet has a plastic handle and looks and perhaps feels less durable than the old style metal one; I suppose it is standard now though and only time will time if it is a quality replacement. I can't argue about the price charged as it was close to the sight-unseen estimate. And, getting quality work is much more important to me than a few dollars one way or another. I recommend this company. I had a good experience with them and liked the service guy.
Description of Work: Replacement of an exterior hose faucet. The old one just got tired after 50 years and its threads were getting striped. The serviceman was professional and friendly, the work done was good.

Response from Tony LaMartina Plumbing Company Inc
Hi Member, I want to assure the handle on the Woodford faucet has been used for more than 20 years. It holds up better than the pot metal type. Woodford guarantees it! I have never had my plumbers present a bill or collect money from a customer. It would cost more to the consumer it the plumber had to sit in his truck and look up the many items he would have used, plus adding them up, collecting cash, check or credit card. That would take at least 20 minutes to process. That plumber hourly rate is more than our office can do it for, this is a savings to you. I try to give a close estimate on the phone and if when the plumber gets there and looks to be different than what I scheduled, he will call me and we will inform you of the new price. Thanks again for using us! Tony LaMartina
