It went great. My service provider was prompt, cordial and not only did he do a great job, he left my house extremely tidy! After the service was complete, Viscentin sent me a nice thank you note and a magnet. I've already called them for another plumbing job.
Description of Work: A pipe in the basement was leaking and needed to be replaced and I needed a water spout moved in my backyard. Essentially, the former home owners built a deck directly above the spout, which made it impossible to attach a hose to the spout.

Very professional, thorough, and did a great job. Didn't cut corners and I felt it was a fair price for half days work on a Saturday. He even secured the sink to the wall for me and fixed a vent in my hallway! Would definitely use them again and recommend them. Very nice honest guys. I now have running water and a clear drain in the bathroom. A pleasure to deal with and great workmanship.
Description of Work: John came out and looked at the job and Richie came out and did the work. Clogged drain in the bathroom along with issues with the faucet. The pipes and sink are VERY old. Richie did a wonderful job and it was a job and a half. He replaced the faucet, water lines running to the faucet, replaced the drain and snaked the drain.

John and his crew's caliber of work is top notch. This was a complicated install but within minutes of looking at the end product, you can easily see the pride in workmanship and quality. Super clean job !! The once messy, decaying piping and wiring looks like sculpture now. John is a busy guy so its not always easy to get on his schedule so be patient and well worth the wait.
Description of Work: John redesigned my old hybrid steam and hot water boiler system. He split the hot water baseboard and steam areas into 2 new and separate boilers servicing each type of system. He ran new gas lines since this was an oil to gas conversion and ran lines for a future gas dryer.

Overall, I have no complaints at all. We brought him back to help with some leaky hose spigots, and they took care of the problem within the hour. His colleague left our home neat and put back together (they had to move some appliances to access the pipes). Like I said above, good guys, good service, good price!
Description of Work: Mr Visentin and his colleague, Rich, are very friendly, responsive, and professional plumbers. I have worked with Mr. Visentin on several occasions, and I have always been very satisfied with his work. One time, when our coupler broke late on a Sunday evening in the middle of the winter, he actually came out and took care of it that night! While some plumbers have 24 hour service, my understanding is that he does not. Nevertheless, he came out and took care of it. My guess is that he left here about 11:30 pm on a Sunday night. Obviously, there was a surcharge for his arrival, but as we have two small children, he really stepped up when we needed him. Good luck finding that in most people, nevermind in a business relationship! We have worked with his company on several occasions, and I've always been satisfied. The overall price of plumbing service is, in my opinion, quite high, but Mr. Visentin's prices are competitive. And he's just a really friendly, fair, and seems like an honest guy.

John came to our house on time, and emphasized over the phone when we first spoke, that he is always punctual. He went over any questions that I and my husband had and then told us he would write up the estimate and get it to us in the next week - which he did. After obtaining three other estimates, we felt that John had the best estimate- both in terms of price, knowledge and professionalism. I and my husband were extremely pleased with John and his crew throughout the process of the installation. In addition to his reasonable fees for his excellent work - his company also offers interest free financing for up to one year (for people with good credit) which was also very helpful - given the economy. Throughout the process of having this work completed - one of the things that impressed us the most was that John Visentin always told you exactly what he was planning to do and then did it. His sincerity and commitment to his work is impeccable and he always followed up anytime we called or had questions. John obtained the permits, and he and his team did the work - all of them very skilled, professional and polite. They came on time and left on time. John made sure he answered any questions we had. He and his team also repaired a leak in one of our old steam radiators. He honored a coupon that he has for Angie's List customers that took $200 off the cost - and helped me fill out an application for a State rebate for energy efficient boilers - that will give me back an additional $300 back. As part of the process of the boiler installation, John skimmed off the sludge that accumulates in old boiler systems and used a green chemical to help cut down on the sediment. He explained that after the next time we drained it, that he might have to come back and have the green additive added once more if the sludge was still in the system. As it turned out - he did have to come back - and did this for us at our convenience and without any complaint or extra charge to us. John also made the arrangements for the town inspections - which were just done this week - for electrical, fire and plumbing - that went flawlessly. I couldn't ask for a better person and crew to do the work.
Description of Work: John Visentin came to my house and personally gave me an estimate for the replacement of our gas steam boiler with an automatic water feeder and replacement of 5 steam vents. The electric wiring to the boiler also had to be upgraded - since our original boiler was more than 35 years old. He gave us the estimate. Obtained the permits, Installed the boiler with the automatic water feeder, and the vents, and repaired a leak in a radiator, filled out all the paperwork, and set up the dates for the inspection after completion.

iWe had required a number of plumbing related services including leaky faucets and flush. I used the Big Deal coupon for the first set of services. Then I had problems with my kitchen faucet for which I ended up also calling Visentin since they had done a good job the first time around. They were again very prompt in their service and I would be appy to use them again.
My Mothers house needed her washer and dryer hookups moved. I also wanted a second estimate foe a oil to gas burner conversion for my house. In the time between when the 2 estimate was being figured and when I received the estimate, my Mom passed. So we did not need him for that. When my Mom's house sells, I will call him to do our heat. He seemed to be very capable, and paid attention to detail.
Description of Work: He came and did 2 estimates for me. One was for my Moms house, and one was for my house. The estimates were clear as to what he would do, and very detail oriented.

I discovered my shower wasn't working last Saturday afternoon. Water started to leak from behind the acrylic wall covering whenever I turned the shower on. I immediately looked up a plumber on Angie's List. I found Visentin Plumbing and because of their rating and proximity, I gave them a call. It was around 3:30 pm on Saturday so I got their answering service. I asked the woman if she could have someone call me ASAP. I spoke to John (the owner) about 30 minutes later and he said he would call me Monday morning to set up a time to send someone to inspect the issue. He called as promised and Michael and Eric came Monday afternoon to my place. Michael found the problem which happened to be two elbow pipes in the wall disconnected because of age of my condo apartment. He glued them back together. He instructed me to let it dry for 24 hours. That did the trick. My shower is working again!! I will definitely use Visentin plumbing again. They were professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Glued two elbow pipes in the wall that came unglued because of the age of the piping (about 23 years old). As a result, my shower stopped working and water was leaking from underneath my acrylic wall covering.

The work went well, the guys knew exactly what they had to do. They were here alittle under 2 hours. After several test flushes, they were done. I was completely satisfied. With the coupon I had purchased on Angie's List,the bill was paid in full. That made me even happier. Will definitely use Visentin in the future.
Description of Work: Upstairs toilet was leaking at the base and the water was coming thru the ceiling of the bathroom below. The plumbers removed the leaking toilet to find it was not installed properly. So the had to put a new flange and reset and mount the toilet back in place.

There was a bad leak coming from a tenantsbathroom down to the first floor from the ceiling. I called a plumber that I used in the past. They showed up and opened 4 holes ranging from 1-2 square feet in size . What a mess. Finally they thought they found the problem. They had to call the boss for instructions on how to proceed. They left and asked me to call the boss the next day. I called and he gave me some mumbo jumbo. I guess the job was too big or too difficult or both . Time for new plumber. My sister got a year of Angies list services. After severals calls I got a list of plumbers of which Visetin was one. They had the most reviews and most were positive. I called Friday and the earliest they could come was the following Monday. They were so booked. I guess that was a good sign. They showed up, looked at all the holes and determined where the leak was. Even I knew where the leak was. The previous butcher I mean plumber left enough of a big hole to see all the plumbing in the house. What I wanted was an estimate. Mind you I was not there when they showed up but my brother was. They proceeded to tell my brother they needed $150 to put some epoxy on the hole and that would be only temporary and they could not guarantee how long it would hold. I guess they were nicely trying to tell me how expensive the correct job would cost and that a band aid (not guaranteed) would cost $150. At that I guess I would have to settle for the band aid. My brother who didn't drive and had a heart condition walked as quickly as he could to his bank which was about 10 blocks away . He came back but was $20 short not realizing he didn't have enough in his account. I thought that he applied the than $130 bandaid and was to return to finish the job. Well I didn't hear from my brother until that night when the heavy leak started again . I called Visetin and spoke to the boss and explained what happened. He was fully aware of what happened. He told me my brother was short the money, no $150, no bandaid. Why he couldn't take a credit card was beyond me. I've dealt with plumbers for the past 40 yrs and credit cards were no problem. To make a long story short he told his worker to leave the leak as is, do nothing and go to his next job. What a guy. I asked if he would come back to do the real job not the mask, he said he would try to fit me in his schedule the following week and he would have to charge me for 2 service charges of $150 each. Was he for real. Just forlaughs I told him to put me on his list for the following week. Well he never gave me a call back. I found someone to do the job. He also found and fixed another leak, replaced a wax seal in the toilet, fixed all 4 holes for $450. Glad Visetin didn't call back. Glad he's only around for dollar signs and to step all over seniors with disabilities.
Description of Work: glad my life didn't depend on them.

Response from Visentin Plumbing & Heating
After reading Member's review of my services, I'd like to clarify some facts. Member first contacted me on Saturday afternoon as an emergency call. I called him back and he told me he had an ongoing leak, that has been going on for some time. He told me he had dealt with another plumber and he wanted me to come out and look at the job and to find out what was the cause of the leak. Since I was on no heat calls, I informed Member that I was unable to come to his house until Monday. I advised him that I would call him Monday morning, which I did, to tell him the time I would be arriving at his home. Monday afternoon an employee of Visentin Plumbing and Heating arrived at his home and determined what the cause of the leak was. My employee text me a picture of what the leak looked like and how difficult it would be to repair it. My employee and myself both agreed to patch the hole in the wasteline and it would cost $150. My employee spoke to the brother of Member and told him the price and he agreed. Unfortunately, Member's brother did not have enough money to pay for the service. The brother insisted that he would go to the bank to get the money for the repair. However he did not have enough to pay for the job. Therefore, my employee called me and told me of the situation and because he did not have the money to pay for the service, my employee had to leave the job. Member called me that evening, we both discussed what happened in the afternoon at his house. Member was angry and irate, because he wanted to know why my employee would not drive his brother to the bank to get the money for the job. I explained that due to insurance liability, my employee could not do that. While discussing the difficulty of repairing the leak, Member's attitude and tone of voice, led me to decide not to pursue this job any further. I do not appreciate Member's insults and accusations that I'm cruel to elderly people and I'm a money maker. His accusations are false.

I left a message with the answering service early Friday evening and in about an hour, John Vicentin called me back. He was very thorough in asking me questions about the problem and the prior work that another plumber had done the month before the heater failed. I also told him that yet another plumber had come to the house a few days earlier and he had advised me that the unit was about 30 years old and that his boss wouldn't allow him to try a repair because since it was so old, the unit would probably fail again. He said the only option was to install a new unit at a cost of $6300. I told John that the problem was at my 84 year old mother's house and he said that he could come on Sunday. I told him that she doesn't speak English very well and I couldn't be there and asked him to call me when he finished. I really appreciated that he called to tell me he was on his way so I could give her a heads-up to safely get the door. on the phone, He had asked me to tell him, if it was something he could fix it while he was there, did I want to authorize an amount to go ahead and do the work. I set a $300 limit,beyond that I would need an estimate.My mother told me that he was very nice and professional and after he got her heater running he stayed to check upstairs and down to be sure that it stayed on. Later, he called and gave me a complete rundown of what he did (he gave me details a little over my head) but the gist of it was that he made some adjustments and got it going. He was knowledgeable about the old heater and thought that it should continue to work and if it didn't, I should call and he would do any needed repair but that the unit was still serviceable and he did NOT see the need to get a new heater! And ( surprise! ) his bill would be for $135. Three days later, he called ME to ask if my mother still had her heat! ( Who does that these days?) John Vicentin is a knowledgeable, professional,courteous,caring, HONEST man of integrity who clearly exemplifies the the very best in his profession. I would absolutely use his service again and would recommend that he should the first choice for anyone who needs their problem solved at a fair price by a professional who has his heart in his work. My only complaint would be that I live too far away to use him at MY house!

All I got to say is John Visentin is a real stand up guy. I had a problem in the basement of rental building, which 2 other plumbers have been there charged me and the problem occurred again a couple months apart. John was able to identify the problem right away, and pointed me to an associate of his that would be best for the job. They came today quickly fixed the sewer issue for the short term, and now we are fixing the major issue. I will be using John Visentin for all my plumbing needs because of his honesty. Thank You.

John did a great job getting my steam boiler working again. He came to my house the same day I called, and he arrived when he said he would. He fixed an improper installation of a thermostat that a different plumber had done, he inspected my steam boiler, he explained what he saw and answered my questions. His billing was reasonable. After the service call, my boiler works correctly. John even put on shoe covers when explained that I wanted to keep the floor as clean as possible for my small child. I will call John Visentin the next time I need plumbing or heating system work done.

Visentin plumbing was responsive and completely professional. On recommendations here, I called and John came right out to write up an estimate, arriving late in the evening to work around my schedule. He called back a couple days later with pricing and to set up an appointment. On the day of the job, he arrived on time and completed all work in just a few short hours. He also honored the coupon that was listed here. In all, a great experience and his work and knowledge appears to be top-rate. Visentin is first on my list the next time I'm looking for a plumber.
Description of Work: I needed a new boiler flush valve installed, a couple of steam leaks repaired and some radiators shifted around because one had developed an inaccessible leak. I also opted to have a yearly boiler servicing performed as it had a massive build-up of sediment.
