He's very good and he doesn't overcharge you. The last time he came he rendered the material I already had to save me money. It's one guy and he's a very nice man. The only thing that has happened recently is that he's been very busy, but I'm going to have him do some work soon. He had already estimated it for me about a month and we're just trying to find the time, but I've used him every time. What makes the price work for me is that when we were trying to figure out how much had to be done there was more than that. We decided to break it down. We look at the job as a whole and figured out what would be essential first so that we could break it into portions to make it affordable and that's what makes him special when you really think about it. He said this is a lot of money, let's take this section because that must be done and eventually we'll get to the other stuff, so we'll keep it in range. He always calls me and says that he'll make the appointment. He doesn't leave me hanging although the ability to fit in the time has been a little different now which has never been the case on a regular basis. It's only because he's so busy, but when he says he's going to do something he's there and he does it.

Penny's Hardware & Plumbing fixed some leaks for me six months ago and used my copper piping that I had laying around. He's going to come back out to finish it and is looking at some extensive work right now, like replacing some lead pipes for me which he quoted at $950.

.We have got good service from them in the past, though, I have found them difficult to contact in recent times. So I will not use them again. I can't recall the price, I remember it was reasonable. They were recommended to us by friends. They were professional. We had a gas leak and they looked at all of our plumbing. They recommended that it would be more cost effective to just reinstall the plumbing instead of all the old pipes. They gave us helpful advise and the work was very good. They worked well and in a timely manner. In recent times though, I have found them difficult to contact.
Description of Work
We used PENNY'S HARDWARE & PLUMBING. When we first bought our house in 2007, they redid some natural gas planning.

A contractor did remodeling in my kitchen. He put in the wrong trap under my sink. I called my plumber who works out of Penny's Hardware, whom I have known for many years. He fixed it and also advised me that I should have the town person in charge of repairs like this to look at it. He was very thorough.
Description of Work
Did plumbing under my kitchen sink and some in basement. Job was done well, but plumber knicked my sink cabinet a little. I did not notice it until later. He also charged me what I thought was a bit much, but I know plumbers are expensive. He did solve the problem for me.

The guy from Penny's Hardware and Plumbing personally dug down about six feet with a pickax by himself and laid all the piping from my gutters. It was like a one man job and he did it in like a day in a half because he started digging one afternoon and came back and finished it up the next day. What he does is take the sod off of your grass and replaces everything. All the dirt that he dug up he replaces it and you would never know he was there. Other people in the neighborhood have plumbers do this type of job and they come in with heavy machinery and dig up the dirt and leave all it left behind and are there for like 2 or 3 days. This man does this by himself and is the owner of Penny's Hardware. He's professional and is excellent. His work is just very good and he cleans up. I would definitely use him again and he does all of my plumbing.
Description of Work
I had the bubbler done and it's a sump pump from the house sump pump to the main sewer line in the street. I also had my other sewer cleaned too.

As I implied above it went very well, from start to finish and we've called hm back six or seven times to deal with this chronic problem. If we go for a systematic fix, we'll go with him as well.
Description of Work
Lou, the plumber at Penny's, is a sewer line expert. In Buffalo, many of the house mains are pitched at too low an angle to properly evacuate waste into the city mains. our house fits that category, and may have additional problems too. We always call Lou whenever we have trouble, which is about two times a year. He always comes that very day and always fixes the problem. This can be a messy business, obviously, and you may have to hire a cleaning company afterward if the clean-out is inside, as we've had to on some especially dire occasions. As far as I know, this is inevitable if you have inside work done. Lou works by intuition and a long snake, not with expensive cameras. He is not always on the look-out for ways to convince you to invest in a "big job" as many other plumbers seem to have been. In fact, with his rudimentary technology he has discounted many much more expensive diagnoses we have had from other plumbers, who--for example--dip their cutting tool in the garden and tell you they're finding mud inside the line (sign of a sewer pipe collapse deep under ground), or show you "film" of the inside or you plumbing line that are at best ambiguous signs of something else that requires digging up your entire front lawn. For absolutely dependable honesty, for a complete, graduate-level education on your sewer line, and for old-school artisanal service--if not always for concern for flower beds and other niceties--you gotta go with this guy.

The job went very well, and was done in good time. The changes required that a pipe be capped in the basement, and new piping installed to service the dishwasher properly. Individual shutoff valves for the adjoining sink, which were omitted in the old installation, were put in place. While the requested work was going on, I pointed out that in the 20 years I had owned the house, no one had been able to correct the fact that the faucet always leaked thru to the cabinet under the sink. He looked the situation over, explained what was wrong, and brought a new faucet which was installed. I have not been another drop of water in the cabinet since that time. I'm very happy with the new dishwasher and faucet, and especially with my dry cabinet!!
Description of Work
I needed to have kitchen plumbing corrected to install a new dishwasher. Previous installation (done by previous homeowner) was not done according to code.

It went great. I would highly recommend Penny's Hardware and Plumbing. It was a pleasure having him work in the house. Extremely neat - cleaned up after himself and apologized if he didn't put things back quite right.

I was extremely pleased with Penny's Plumbing. I called them because my kitchen sink was clogging my basement sink (they are connected). I tried to clear it myself to no avail. They came out later that day, as soon as I was available. They figured out what parts of the piping were clogged out and diagnosed that the outlet line from my house was clogged. It turns out that my inspector did not correctly identify the outlet line vent in my front yard. A hole in my yard (that my inspector said was no longer used) was actually my outlet pipe and was clogged with over four feet of clay and dirt. They did over 5 hours of work, using a heavy duty auger to get through the layer and retrieve all the nasty stuff that had accumulated for years and years. They explained everything to me each step of the way, cleaned up when they were done, and I haven't had any problems since. It's a relief to have a reliable plumber I can call in case anything else goes wrong!
Description of Work
They diagnosed a clogged basement sink, replaced piping joint, cleared out line from house all the way to the street sewer (including some excavation of broken piping), replaced sewer cover.

I called Penny's Hardware and Plumbing to report a clogged sewer drain. The man who answered the phone took my information and gave me an estimate for the work. The plumber was out on a call but arrived at my house in just a few hours (excellent!). The work was completed in about an hour (as promised). I paid exactly what I was quoted (plus tax). The gentlemen who did the work advised us on a possible future issue (tree roots) and what that work might cost...no pressure. Overall a great experience and a reasonable price.
Description of Work
Unplugged clogged sewer drain that was backing up into the basement.

Went very well. Snaked shower no problem. Gave us bad news about not being able to utilize old gas line to garage. Recommended capping basement drains so storm water would not back up in them- Spent over an hour and a half in total Charged one hundred dollars- paid on the spot. MUCH cheaper than rotorooter, with no hard sell on the drain declogger...

He is a very knowledgeable guy, he explained everything that he did, and I thought the price was reasonable. I live in an old house and some of the plumbing is at least a century old, but he was very knowledgeable about the needs I have.
Description of Work
Penny’s Hardware & Plumbing stopped a leaking faucet in a shower, provided me with a drain in the sink, did some repairs in a bathtub, and put on a new faucet in the kitchen.
