Both service pros were great. They not only demonstrated a high sense of professionalism they worked efficiently and carefully to reinstall the appliances without damaging the floors. They also wore shoe covers which in my experience is not standard. Mark, the assistant also educated me about different types of faucets since these need to be replaced at some point. We will do business with Tarvin again.
Description of Work: Removed (on a different date) the dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, a powder room sink and toilet, and a utility sink so flooring could be installed. Today they put most items back (movers put the refrigerator and stove back.)

The plumber was punctual and did a great job. When my husband asked if he could get it done in 2 hours, they guy said yes. If he had used a pvc line, it would have been about 2 hours. Instead, he used copper line and it took him 4 hours. His reason for using the copper line was because he didn't have any pvc line in his truck. Everything works great, no leaks, etc. The end result was great. So we can't complain. We have functioning appliances in our basement and we are happy.
Description of Work: The plumber installed 2 water lines from the main water line to an ice maker and refrigerator in our new kitchen in the basement.

gas leak repair
  + -1 more
It was my first time using them and it went very well. They changed their policy, we have a four family apartment. We called the gas company out for a gas leak. and they refused to put gas to my stove. I called this plumbing company. This time they pressurized the line with air and the last time they used a different technique to see if there was any gas leak. He charged me quite a bit of money it seems like, although we did have a coupon for it. It's fine now, but I had to clean out the burners on the stove to make it work. I'd give them 90% for the first time and 50% for the second time. I know plumbers charge a lot of money. The quality was OK. They said they were busy but, they worked me in. I didn't know if it was working after they were done because, Duke gas wouldn't turn the gas on.

We are confused--we only show 1 job for this owner--we replaced a leaking gas valve--there was also a dispatch which the owner canceled--perhaps others were on this job?? Please let us know if there is an issue with our work.

All work was done as stated. Because the new base had to be ordered, new tiles purchased and replaced, and new doors constructed, the work stretched out over several months. But this was stated in advance. I am well pleased with their work.

Everything went very well. I used an Angie's List coupon for $150.00 worth of services for $100.00 and the bill was a dollar or two less than $150.00 so there were no additional charges over the $100.00 that I spent.

David was very courteous & professional, but did inform me that t pipes used were too narrow so his declogging equipment could damage the pipes & recommended that I have a video inspection because there definitely was some clogging. He even recommended a company I should call. He answered all of my questions & concerns for which I'm really grateful. His work was clean & efficient.
Description of Work: I asked for a maintenance check of the sump pump - which was provided; a check of the drainage pipes for t sump pump, which was not provided. He did unclog two bathroom sinks, a job which was not programmed but I asked him to do when he was here.

Each of the three jobs that were performed, were done with excellence by a man named Jim. he was thorough, professional, and didn't waste a minute. I could have paid less and had someone else do the work, but I had tried this in the past with other local "Handymen", and plumbers who did not do the the work correctly. Bottom line: If I had Tarvin do it all the first time, it would have been a lot less money. Also, I will definitely consider them for future projects, and I want to send out Kudos to Jim. He is an outstanding representative for their company.

The essential details are above. The work was duly performed but the clean-up was inadequate and therefore unable to recommend.
Description of Work: The request was to install a water pressure regulator in a hard to reach spot in my basement. This they performed, but in order to so they needed to pull my basement toilet, install the regulator, re-connect the pipes and re-install my toilet. All was well until I recently turned the water back on leading to the toilet and it proceeded to spray out also emanating from the bottom of the toilet. I should have checked it when the work was complete but, given that I never use it, it never occurred to me. Lesson learned.

Response from Tarvin Plumbing
This occurred 10 months ago. We show no record of a complaint or inquiry regarding the toilet. The plumber who was there does not remember anything about the toilet and we show no record of parts to remove and reinstall the water closet. Had we been informed of a problem with our work we certainly would have taken care of it. Not sure what else to do.

Brent called to let me know what time he would arrive. He worked quickly and efficiently. He had to run back to the warehouse to get a part and was sure to let me know I would not be charged for that time. He asked me my preference when there was an option to save a little money on the project. Brent was courteous and professional and did a great job.

The work was very good, and when we had a problem with our garbage disposal afterwards (a connection had come loose during the plumbing work), they sent an electrician to fix it immediately at their expense. They aren't cheap, but they are very professional and give excellent customer service.

This was second time I had Tarvin come into do plumbing work. I chose them because they are so professional and do a great job. This was no exception to that. I think that Tarvin can be a little high priced but the quality of the work makes it worth the extra cost.
Description of Work: Tarvin came in to fix a toilet that was leaking around the base. After fixing this leak another leak was found in the bathroom wall. The Tarvin plumber had to come back the next day with additional parts to repair the second leak. He cut open the bathroom wall and repaired two pipes.

Very well. The company quickly responded to my call for assistance and scheduled the service appointment. The two Tarvin representatives sent to my home were very informative, polite, professional - and efficient. They quickly began work and, when the job was done, cleaned their equipment to avoid drips on the nearby carpeted area, swept the area where they had been working, asked me if I had any questions, and departed. By using the promotion on Angie's List the cost was $100 versus the $150 requested by Tarvin Plumbing. I called Tarvin Plumbing based on recommendations on Angie's List. I"m very pleased. Thanks, Angie.
Description of Work: Consulted me about the slow drainage we were encountering, determined the best location for solving the problem, and cleared the line.

It was okay. They came in and decided there was nothing they could do. They didn't really solve the problem. My husband ended up having to fix it himself. He was very patient with my calling, my husband and back and forth. He made a suggestion on some parts that we need to order. When they came in, my husband felt like he could them in himself. They were helpful, it's just a lot of money for them not actually finishing the work. He was fine. He did what he could, I guess. The particular man was very patient.
Description of Work: They made a recommendation and then they left.
