The contractor came in, I explained what needed done. He got right to work doing exactly what I described above and finished. I paid him and he left.
Description of Work: They relocated a gas supply connector in my kitchen. Basically, I needed the gas line that supplies my stove to be run through the floor instead of the rear wall where it currently was. This required extending the pipe in the basement about a foot further along the ceiling, adding a couple of elbows, drilling a hole through the floor for the new piece of pipe to come up through, and capping it all off with a shut off valve on the end.

This was a plumbing repair for an elderly in-law. Very pleased with the work overall, they were good about scheduling the appointment and were timely, quick and neat and very pleasant. They even fixed the laundry tub drain for no charge and provided a senior discount. Still waiting to see if the fixture drips again but the service has been excellent and high quality service like this is appreciated.
Description of Work: Had a dripping bath tub fixture which Don came out and repaired. He said it was guaranteed but it started to drip again a day or two later (it's an old fixture). He came back to check it again and said he would come back with heavier duty washers and try that, which he did as promised. He also reconnected a laundry tub drain.

They were right on time. Both men very courteous, efficient, and knowledgeable. They went right to work, explained the results, and cleaned up after. The estimate was exactly as I was quoted and their 1 year warranty (better than most) was explained to me.

water heater repair

Our water heater died on Christmas day. We called the 24 hr. number, and they said someone would be out between 10-12 the next day. They arrived at 10:30, gave us the estimate, and said they would be back later with a new heater. They arrived at 1:15 and finished the job at 3. The job was more involved than they thought. They had to replace the flue and had problems with the main water supply. They cleaned up, removed the old heater, and charged us what the estimate was.
Description of Work: They replaced the water heater.

I called American Plumbing to fix a leak in the water line going to my toilet. They came out and fixed my problem the same day I called. The plumber was very knowledgeable, removed his shoes before coming in the house, and completed the repair promptly. I will definitely use them again.

Don responded quickly to our request for an estimate and we received it the next day. We scheduled the work immediately. The work was done in a very efficient manner. Don arrived shortly after the worker in the morning to go over the job and came back at the end of the day to check the work and make sure everything was cleaned up. We were very impressed with that. Don answered all of our questions and was very polite. I would recommend this company to everyone!
Description of Work: Replaced 3 outside faucets with frost-free ones, hooked up lines for washer and dryer in Mudd room, put in water-driven back up sump pump, put new bolts and wax ring on upstairs toilet, put shut off valves on water lines in basement and ran a new silcock water line in garage.

We called Don in response to water in the basement. Don determined the problem to be the result of a clog in our external drain. Utility lines blocked access to this and Don was very helpful in helping us to arrange for these to be moved. Upon completion of the utility work, the drain was effectively cleaned.

Miscommunication was my biggest problem on the 2nd job. We were told that there was no deposit required but they ask for a deposit upon arrival. They didn't grade the ground like they said that they were going to do. They were also suppose to find an electrician to run electricity out to the pump and never did. They told me that electricity was not my job. They tried to require full payment before I even knew if it worked without electricity running to it.
Description of Work: He replaced a faucet in my shower and pulled the wall board off and his dad had to come to repair the wall because it was damaged from him pulling it out. (2nd job)They installed a sump pump.

The overall experience was fantastic. Not only was the plumber 45 minutes early, he was gone before the actual appointment was supposed to have started. He left no mess and did not disturb anything else on the premises. Additionally, he was honest. Another plumber had told me that the drain was absolutely unfixable and that he would need to break up the concrete floor to make the repair at the bargain price of $945. The American Plumbing Rep inspected and verified there wasn't a problem. All service included a one year warranty including the floor drain inspection.
Description of Work: The American Plumbing Rep replaced the faucet on the basement sink (concrete tub for washing machines) and the handles and packing on three shut off valves. He also inspected floor drain for proper flow of water.

I could not get my hand into the small space to readjust the water temperature gauge. They told me to take the door off if I needed to. The supervisor had to come in and take something off the heater so I could adjust it. They also suggested that any time I needed to readjust it I just call them and have them do it but that does not seem logical. Why would you pay for a service call to turn a dial?

This company was tremendous! The owner Don was here to evaluate the project on time. He sent a plumber out to do the job the same day--on time. He returned to see that the job was done correctly. He explained what was done, how the system operated, and answered all my questions. He and the plumber who did the job was polite, interested in doing a great job and proud of their work. I was very, very impressed, and will have them do this company do all our plumbing work from now on.
Description of Work: The plumber installed a sump pump in our basement and also installed a secondary pump with a warning system and battery backup.

The company did not respond to my first appointment. The appointment was made five days before they were to come to my house. Because this company had such great reviews I decided to call them again one week later. The receptionist checked her appointment book and couldn't find my old appointment. She apologized for any inconvenience and gave me the first available appointment. Then she called me back to give me the first cancelled appointment. The plumber was on time, polite and in uniform. He listened to my story and decided how to attack the clog. I was amazed how much plunging he had to do to really clear my pipes. He worked hard for the $98.00 and included the Angie's List discount.
Description of Work: The plumber cleared the clog in the kitchen sink. He worked for over an hour. He used a snake, a plunger, and hot water to make sure all of the clog was removed.
