I have used Tarvin for plumbing for repairs several times in the past and have always been pleased with their work. On their website I noted that they do remodeling work including tile installation. I asked if they were interested in my relatively small project and Mike said they were. Within a couple of days John, their tile specialist, looked at the project and took measurements. Mike got back to me shortly with an estimate that included materials, material pickup and labor. It was comparable to another estimate I had received. We were put on John's schedule for the earliest time he had available. John showed up promptly on the 2 days of scheduled work. He was obviously well experienced and he did an excellent, professional job.

The pipe to my shower had come apart and was leaking into my kitchen. They came out and fixed it and were out of here in an hour and half. It was also a one piece shower which was a little more complicated to fix as well, as they could not fix it through the front and had to go through the back. They were great and fixed the problems quickly. I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: I bought a Big Deal for $60 for $90 Worth of Plumbing Services. They fixed a leak in my shower.

He came the day after my stove was delivered and installed the gas line. He checked other things, but I didn't have much else for him to do. It was going to cost over $100 to have the store connect the gas line so this worked out better.

Description of Work: Removed old water heater and provided and installed a new water heater and replaced or repaired several defective water line valves. There was almost no disruption of our usual household activities by the two very professional men from Tarvin and the area where they worked was cleaner when they left than it was before they arrived.

It went really well. I had a different plumber out to the house a few weeks prior to fix the leaking pipe and replace the bathtub faucet and they charged over $500. Some of their work was shotty and had to be re-done. So, I called Tarvin and they were able to fix the shoddy work done by the previous plumber and do more work for less money. I was really pleased with them and will definitely use them again .

It turned out fine. I used the big deal shortly after I purchased it and there was an additional charge on top of the deal but I do not remember how much it was. It was part of the job. They allowed me to use the big deal right when I needed it so that was good. That meant that they were accessible. I have not had any issues since the service was provided but we do not live there anymore. Their price was a little high but they were pretty quick and they did the job. They came when I called them but I was not there when they did the service.

I had purchased a Big Deal from Angie's List. They have been out 3 times in April. I paid $863 for the water main break and all they did was dig a hole. It was $225 to change the guts in the toilet. I got an Angie's List discount of $25 on all of these. I would recommend getting more than one estimate and then go from there. Apparently there are a lot of different ways to do plumbing.
Description of Work: I used Tarvin Plumbing because I had a main water line break at the street. Before that I had a running toilet and they changed the guts and fixed it. The last thing they did was to replace the main water line valve and the pressure valve in my basement.

We are selling our house and had several minor plumbing issues come up on the inspection. Tarvin put Ilya in call for a plumber and we had someone out at the house within hours. We were not in a hurry for the services but could not have been more happy at how quickly Tarvin arrived to perform the services. When he arrived, the plumber quickly went to work and finished all of the items in short order. We were very pleased with the services that they provided. Thank you.

have gone up immeasurably. The original 2011 installation was $610.00!! I began to repeat the prices she was quoting me to my friend who was here at the time and knows something about plumbing and she stops and asks quite rudely who I was talking to. I told her and she referred to him throughout the rest of the conversation very sarcastically as "your friend who is not a plumber but who knows plumbing." I asked was it not a law that an expansion tank be installed(meaning a code) and she sarcastically laughed and said "are you going to call the police?" I had specifically said "a law" not "the law." I called the Butler County Board of Health and a gentleman explained to me that to bring water heaters up to code it is recommended. She stated that I was offered to have an expansion tank installed but I refused. What?? Was the offer made in an either/or fashion? Was the importance of it explained to me? Did I sign a refusal paper? I ended the conversation saying I found them on Angie's List (hinting that a complaint would follow) and with an upbeat tone she replied "Thank You!" as if I complimented the company. I am providing this feed back since I don't feel that this company deserves the rating they have received.
Description of Work: On April 3, 2014 I called Tarvin Plumbing Company at or around 10:00am and spoke with Michelle. I explained the problem I was having with my water heater which they installed. She asked when was it installed and I said 2011. Her response was "I will have someone out there today." She called back within the next 15 minutes saying that she did not hear the year that I stated. When I clearly repeated the year she immediately began to diagnose the problem and rattling off prices instead of seeing how they could work with me. She began to expound with aggression that there would be a $90 service charge; an additional charge every 15 minutes and an estimated charge of $500.00. My guess is that after that $500.00 and the technician was still here my cost could

After opening the connections and attaching another hose, he decided the problem was something in my cold water line. He explained the only thing he could do to fix it was open up my wall. Luckily he could do it from my garage where the water line comes in. He ended up having to make 3 holes in order to get to the T that he suspected was the problem. After opening the pipe, he could hear something rattle in there. Used a shop vac to suck the item out of my line. Unbelievable what it was a round plastic round peg with a stem. My house is 7 years old and it must have come through the main water line from the City or it was in the line all this time and finally got stuck causing my problem. I originally called a washing machine repairman who said I needed a new part inside my washing machine and I had to wait two days for the part. I think I did need that part, but it did not give me my cold water and he said I needed a plumber. I have used Tarvin's 3 times in the last two years. Each time they were completely professional and friendly. They had the parts in their truck and were always able to fix the issues. They actually have a nice system when you call. They can put you on a list for service to work you in if someone finishes early and are close to your area or guarantee service in two days with a call between 8 and 9 to establish a time. I used this the first two times as I did not have and emergency. This last I got on the wait list. They were able to work me in. As far as a mess, he did everything to not make a bad one. He cleaned up nicely when he was done. I was very happy to have my cold water back and I will now have someone put in a sliding panel where the holes are, so I will have access to this plumbing in the future. I could not be more pleased with Tarvin's Service.

The service worked out okay. I loved their services, except that they had to come back so many times, because the water line was broken on my side of the house, and they did not have the means handy to clear out the water and dirt, in order to get to the water thing. That was a problem for me, because I had to keep calling the water company, and they kept calling them too. That took more time, and I guess if they would have taken ownership of the problem instead of relying on the water company, it would have been fixed sooner. I ended up paying them over $800 for coming out so many times, and digging a hole. The bathroom was one price, and the curb stop was another price. They were not able to get to the problem. The interaction with them was great.
Description of Work: We had purchased a big deal for Tarvin Plumbing. I had a running toilet, and they fixed that. They replaced the guts in it, and they worked with the water company, to get the outside curb water fixed, because I had a water line break.

We had a dead animal/plumbing situation, where it appeared there was a dead animal in the chimney of our water heater. I called my usual plumber but they said they did not deal with dead animals. I called Tarvin and they responded quickly. Turned out the dead animal was a pretty big raccoon behind a wall. The plumber, Ellis, did his damnedest to get it out, but it was too big for the hole. We used another service (Another Critter Gone) to remove the raccoon, and Ellis returned soon after to replace the water heater chimney, and also repair a deteriorating chimney on my boiler. Tarvin was very responsive, and Ellis was great to deal with. The price seemed fair for the work done.
Description of Work: Attempted to remove a dead animal from the chimney of the water heater ($140), and returned to replace that chimney, and repair the chimney for my boiler ($430)

Went very well. The Tarvin office was responsive to our situation and sent a man out within hours. the worker was professional and very methodical. Cleaned things up well afterwards.
Description of Work: We had a modest somewhat slow leak in our gas line in the basement, in the large 1"+ pipe running across the ceiling from the meter in front towards the back of the basement where the furnace and water heater are which both use natural gas. After having Duke Energy here quickly to confirm the leak, Tarvin sent out a man within about 2 hours. He took apart the line from the meter back to the coupling where the leak was. Then also re-threaded the end of the big pipe. Re-doped everything and put it all back together, turned on the gas and soap tested all couplings. Leak fixed and has been good for two weeks now.

The installation went great. Tarvin was very professional, explained everything to me, made the necessary upgrades to my plumbing (had some pipe issues) and installed a very nice 50 gallon - gas water heater with a 10-yr. warranty. They took care to clean everything up / and covered up my carpet leading down the stairs to my basement. Again, did a great job!
