Don was very pleasant and accommodating to have to come back a 3rd time to remedy my kitchen faucet dilemma. Not only do I have a better faucet, I have the warranty, guarantee and comfort in knowing Don will stand by his work and product.
Description of Work: Replaced Delta all-in-one sprayer kitchen faucet that I bought from Home Depot and had installed just a couple of weeks ago. The all-in-one sprayer head came off the hose when I was pulling it out to use it and the parts came out. Water shot about 15-feet across the room. I called Don at American Plumbing and asked him to replace it with a Moen faucet and separate sprayer unit.

OK overall - not great but not bad. The workmanship is not the best. However, everything drains as it should. One valve in the basement cannot be turned off because they ran a copper line too close to the shut off. No resolution on this problem yet.
Description of Work: removed old bath pipes and waste stack. Installed new tub and walls and installed new copper lines, drains and waste stack.

They did a good job, but they were only here for 10 minutes and charged me 75.00. I thought that was way too high for a simple job. They've come in the past for bigger jobs.

I had a pipe leaking in the basement, and when they looked at it, they determined I needed a new toilet. They went and picked up a new toilet, came back to install it and cleaned up nice. It was quick and painless. They are very nice people, and I've used them for years.

Great job on garbage disposal. Leak in the bathroom was made worse with first visit. Called American Plumbing again. Another plumber came out next day to investigate, ordered needed parts and came back when they said they would, and fixed leak free of charge. No charge for parts or labor. Was very satisfied. Will definitely call them for future plumbing needs.

THE 2 PLUMBERS TOOK OVER 5 HOURS EACH TO COMPLETE THE JOB. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY LOW PRICE FOR A TOUGH JOB. THEY BROUGHT DOWN WATER LINES FOR A BATHROOM (BASEMENT,) FOR THE SHOWER, SINK AND TOILET; AND A WET BAR. THE QUALITY OF THE WORK WAS GREAT, AND THE OWNER CAME BY TO INSPECT HIS WORKERS' PERFORMANCE. I WENT WITH AMERICAN, AS A RECOMMENDATION FROM ANGIE'S LIST, AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! THEY ARE COMING BACK TO FINISH THE ATTACHMENTS, ONCE I COMPLETE THE BATHROOM TILING AND PAINTING.

BOB CAME OUT & CHECKED OUT THE UNITS (SUMP PUMP & BACKUP PUMP)THAT WERE INSTALLED. BECAUSE WE ARE NEW OWNERS, WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW OLD THE SUMP PUMP WAS. SINCE THE CLUSTER CONDO IS ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD, WE DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY THE ORIGINAL SUMP PUMP & THEREFORE WE WERE QUOTED A PRICE FOR A NEW UNIT. OTHER THAN SOME CONFUSION ON A SENIOR DISCOUNT, WE WERE HAPPY WITH THE WORK PERFORMED.
