He is punctual and professional. He is also very patient in answering my questions and explaining the options I may have.
Description of Work: I had a burst pipe in the first floor bathroom. The pipe is in a very small crawl space,which is very hard to access, so he had to reroute the pipe. I called several plumbers and finally decided to use Elie because of his responsiveness and pricing.

He did an excellent job. Seems like a good man and good worker. He was prompt and did exactly what he said he would do. The only negative in my opinion was his price. For unclogging a bathroom sink (true he did have to replace a piece of pipe, but still...) it seemed rather expensive to me ($155 for one hour). However, I do feel that I can trust his work.
Description of Work: We had to have a bathroom sink unclogged. The metal pipe that was adjacent to the wall was old and completely blocked. So, that piece was replaced and the sink was clear.

Response from Elie's Plumbing
THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS. I CHARGE A $55.00 TRIP FEE. NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO SNAKE THE DRAIN, I HAD TO OPEN THE WALL AND CUT OUT A FITTING IN THE WALL TO BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE CORRODED PART OF THE DRAIN. BY THE WAY THANK YOU FOR THE REFERRAL TO YOUR FRIEND ON E. FAIRFAX.

He tore out the old cast iron plumbing and replaced it with PVC. He tested for leaks but none were found, so the job seemed to be sound. During the project we needed to make some adjustments and add a few aspects to the job. Elie was very fair when considering price increases to the job. In the end I paid more than the estimate, but the increase in price was very fair compared to the increase in the amount of work needed to complete the project in a quality manner.
Description of Work: He replaced the drains for my bath and kitchen.

I called Elie's home number on Sunday night at approximately 6:30 p.m. after observing that the leakage continued (although at a reduced rate) even after shut down the main water valve. Elie's wife pleasantly referred me to his cell phone number. I called and he answered promptly and when told of the problem suggested that I open the faucets in the kitchen sink. I did so and after awhile the leaking stopped. He also promised to come to my house at 9 a.m. the next morning to assess the situation and said he would return shortly after noon to do the necessary repairs. He was true to his word in all ways. I was particularly impressed with how quickly he located the source of the leaks. Two years ago I had a similar problem and the workman recommended by a friend took two days to locate the source of the leak and unnecessarily poked a large hole in the ceiling which required extensive plastering. Elie was very professional, efficient but also quite congenial and reasonable. First rate.
Description of Work: Elie very quickly found the source of a very bad leak which started on Sunday afternoon, increased in volume the rest of the day, filling three buckets. That evening I was forced to shut off all the water in my house from the main valve in the basement. Elie came promptly the next morning at 9 a.m. as he said he would and within 30 minutes, determined and located the source of the leakage. It was from pipes embedded in the wall in my upstairs bathroom. Elie returned (as he said he would) at 12:30 p.m. the same afternoon and within an hour repaired the damaged pipes (both had developed holes) and replaced them with new ones. He cleaned up after himself quite well and checked all faucets (upstairs and downstairs) thoroughly.

Elie came the same day I called to investigate the leak, was able to shut of the water at near the regulator so that I wasn't paying for the water, and told me he would have to order a new part, and would replace it the next day. The next afternoon the regulator was replaced, as promised. Work was done quickly and professionally.

Excellent job! Mr Ellie was the first one to answer my call Thursday afternoon. The kitchen faucet was leaking so much that was not possible to use it anymore. I got an estimate to fix those items in that same morning by another person, and, in the afternoon after returning from work, the leaking problem just got worse. I realized that the job needed to be done as soon as possible. Mr. Elias came within an hour of my call. He suggested the faucet types to buy (in the case that I wanted to choose one from a store) and we set the appointment for the next available spot for both of us (Monday morning). Mr. Elie and his assistant were very courteous and did an excellent job.
Description of Work: Mr. Elie replaced a faucet in the kitchen and his assistant fixed a leak in the bathroom sink. There was no mess left after the work was done since all debris were removed.

The gas company turned off our gas because of some leaks. We called Elie's plumbing and they were able to come that same afternoon. They found all the gas leaks and repaired them. The gas company returned to confirm that all leaks had been fixed, and they found no problems. The gas was turned back on immediately. They also fixed a leaking faucet.

We called Elie at 3 pm about the leak near the water meter. He returned the call immediately and was out by 6 pm. He repaired the leak and did additional work on the kitchen faucet that had been "bugging" us. The work was excellent and Elie is extremely pleasant and efficient. We found Elie through Angie's list, and we will definitely use him again.

I called Elie in the morning. Over the phone he asked me to do a couple of things to diagnose the issue. He came out late that afternoon to take a look himself. He attempted an easy repair of resodering the copper pipe that takes water from the faucet to the shower head. Unfortunately sodder didn't take; there was still leaking. Told me he would have to replace the pipe, and that because of where the pipe was it would require knocking a hole in the tiled wall. He gave me a few options of where I could have him go in, along with his suggestion of where would be best. He did fixed the leak with a MINIMUM of damage. Pointed out problem with hole being much too large where the faucet handle was in wall. Suggested a repair plate. At this point we agreed on an overall price of $300 that was VERY fair. Came the next morning and finished all the work, AND went ahead and installed my new shower head and did some extra caulking. Very Nice - Great value for work!
Description of Work: First soddered leaking pipe from shower in main 2nd floor bathroom. Soddering didn't take, had to knock out two tiles in the wall and then replace the pipe to stop the water leaking from second floor through first floor kitchen ceiling. Came back next day and put in a repair plate where the faucet handle on bathtub was, because original plumbers installing the bathroom cut hole too large and there was additional chance for water leaking behind the wall. Also installed new shower head and added some extra caulk around the bathtub faucet itself.

I called Elie and explained the problem. He stated that he would arrive the next morning. I called him around 1:00 pm, when I hadn't heard from him the next day. He stated that he got my call mixed up with another customer's. He thought we was scheduled to come in the afternoon. He apologized, and said he would arrive shortly. He arrived at approximately 1:40. In about an hour, he had unclogged both the kitchen and bathroom drains. His helper did a good job of cleaning up after the work was done. I'm not familiar with prices for this kind of work, but I think that $180. To unclog two drains was a bit high.
Description of Work: Used a snake to unclog two drains--kitchen sink and bathroom face bowl.

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THAT I HAVE AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I DID NOT GET AN A RATING. IN REGARDS TO MY RATE FOR CLEARING A BATHROOM DRAIN AND THE KITCHEN SINK DRAIN. I HAD TO CUT OUT THE LEAD BUSHING IN THE WALL AND REPLACE THE TRAP AND SNAKE THE SINK DRAIN. THE KITCHEN DRAIN WAS VERY DIFFICULT. I TRIED 3 TIMES FROM THE KITCHEN. I TRIED 2 DIFFERENT CABLES AND I STILL COULD NOT CLEAR THE DRAIN. I WENT DOWNSTAIRS AND LOCATED A CLEANOUT AND I STILL HAD TO FIGHT THE DRAIN. I WAS READY TO GIVE UP ON IT. I AM VERY FAIR WITH MY CUSTOMERS. I WORKED HARD TO CLEAR THE DRAINS. YOU TOLD ME THE OTHER PERSON ALSO HAD A DIFFICULT TIME. PLEASE CALL OTHER COMPANIES TO SEE WHAT THEY CHARGE. I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND OTHERS CHARGING 180 FOR ONE DRAIN. I WILL BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU. CALL ME AT 216-337-4649. THANK YOU.

I called Elie for an appointment and he suggested I call the city sewer department first (as it was likely a main line problem, and they would charge me significantly less to fix it). The city was able to come the next day and fix the problem. I was very impressed that Elie gave me an alternative option that would cost me less money. It showed me he is an honest contractor, and I wouldn't hesitate to call him for any additional plumbing work I need.

Elie had snaked a shower drain for us in the past. Since I was pleased with his other work, I contacted him about replacing my water heater. His price was very reasonable compared to his competitors. He did a thorough job and even replaced some copper piping at a very reasonable price. I have been very happy with Elie's work. Elie mainly works by himself. He may use a helper depending on the job. I much rather work with an honest plumber than to deal with some of the larger plumbing companies who charge exorbitant rates for simple jobs.

I have used Elie in the past to snake a clogged shower drain and to replace a water heater. I did not contact anyone else about the floor drain because I knew that I wanted Elie to do the work. Elie came out to first snake the drain, but he discovered that the trap was clogged. He knew that I was waterproofing my basement so he suggested that I have them replaced the drain since they would be breaking up the concrete anyway. When the waterproofing people could not do the work, Elie was able to work with the contractors and replace the floor drain while the concrete was broken up. I did not give Elie much notice about the job since it came up during the waterproofing, but he was able to accommodate my schedule. I have been very pleased with Elie's work. He originally quoted me a price of about $300. However, he reduced the price from the original quote since the concrete was already broken up and he had just come out that same week to snake the same drain.

Elie exchanged the shower head and attached a hand held shower. He also diagnosed the cause of a small leak in the basement and replaced rusted pipe with PVC. Everything was cleaned up. Elie is also very personable and professional. Anyone else would've probably charged $250-300 for this work. I'm so happy to have a knowledgeable and honest plumber so close by. I found Elie through Angie's list and this referral alone was worth the annual fee!

I first spoke w/Elie over the phone and he was very helpful in helping me select a water heater. He quoted me $800 for the lower BTU one and $1,000 for the larger. We also talked about other options and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to come to my house when I requested, was prompt and efficient. The new water heater is perfect and will be more cost effective to run. He is extremely professional and personable. And if that wasn't enough, his estimate was several hundred dollars less than the other quote I received! As I live in an older house, I'm so glad I finally found an honest and reliable plumber and would without hesitation refer him to everyone I know. If I could give him an A+ I would.

Gas company had turned off gas due to leaks found and pressure not holding in the lines. Needed someone to come out right away in order to get the gas turned back on. Elie was able to let us know of his availability and the time frame in which he could come out, and was able to meet what he said he could do. In addition, his price was very reasonable, especially considering he came out within 2 hours of being contacted. His name and number stay on our contact list!

He was also personable and carried on an interesting conversation with me while doing the job. His charge for doing the work was fair; it was orally quoted as he finished working.
