It went very well - scheduling was easy and thought was given to possible traffic conditions that might make costs go up - they start charging for home visit when person leaves their office.
Description of Work: My disposal was jammed with grit from a broken planter (darn cats). When I called Kennedy Plumbing they were very helpful and suggested several things to try - but as I had already done those things without success they scheduled Clay to come take a look - he arrived early and called first to make sure that was ok. He was able to fix the problem fairly quickly and checked the whole system to make sure everything was working properly. Very efficient, personable and helpful. Thanks Kennedy Plumbing!

Jorge was very prompt, came out on a Sunday, was friendly, professional and had a great attitude when clearing my very clogged toilet. I would definitely hire him again for any plumbing projects. Some company's don't work on a Sunday and my husband and I were grateful that he did work on Sunday's.

I am usually able to solve plumbing issues myself, but hit a wall on this one. Jorge listened to what I had done, decided on an approach and resolved the problem with no drama at all.
Description of Work: The appointment was set on 12/31/12 for service between 10am and noon on 1/2/13. Jorge called me at 9:12 am to say he was available if it was ok with me. I said yes and he was here before 10 am, listened to what I had done to solve me problem, then set to work. He was very professional, and personable, and got the job done. I will definately ask for him again if I have plumbing problems.

1. Stopped the backed up sink - but had to return for the clog (mutual miscommunication). Still, he returned promptly and adjusted the price accordingly. Had him check other sinks as well. Made some cost saving recommendations for future repairs. 2. Water heater leak fixed in just under an hour. Very responsive and identified other problems in the chain that needed attention. Fixed all on the spot with some preventative advise on potential future issues.
Description of Work: I've used Kennedy twice now 1. Backed up kitchen drain w/disposal and dishwasher complication (don't recall cost) 2. Leaking water heater at top flex pipe hot side ($183.00)

Called Beaverton Plumbing first and talked to an answering service. The took my information, said someone would be back with me in five minutes but no one ever contacted me. Called Kennedy Plumbing and Jorge took my call and set up an appointment for later in the day. Jorge showed up early and went right to work. Jorge was pleasant, fast and professional. Everything was done perfectly and the problem was solved. Jorge explained everything he was doing and showed me some plumbing tips for the future. I had to pay time and a half because it was Sunday. I wish their price was a little more reasonable but the work was A+. (Beaverton Plumbing called back two days later to see how the work went.)
Description of Work: Our main waste outlet was clogged two days before Christmas. Any running water anywhere in the house - upstairs or downstairs - backed up into the downstairs toilet.

I called Kennedy Plumbing since I'd seen their store many times on the way home and through AL I got a $20 off coupon. They gave me a window of noon to 2:00 pm, which was fine. Clay called around 10:00 though and said he had another job end early and he could come then. I met him at the house about 10:20 and he started right away. While he worked, I went upstairs to print out my coupon and he was done within about 45 minutes. I was very pleased with his kindness, cleanliness and the fact that he was able to fix our problem right away. I would definately use Kennedy plumbing again if the need ever arises.
Description of Work: The plumber that came to our house was great. He called and arrived aout and 1 1/2 hour early, which worked great for me. We had bought the hardware that was needed and with the $20.00 off coupon this cost less than $100.00. Clay was very courtious and clean and cleaned up the area when he was finished.

Clay saved the day! My mother's kitchen faucet started leaking. I had already made a preventative maintenance appointment with Kennedy Plumbing that was to take place in a few days. However, it turned into an emergency when I found water all over the floor. Clay arrived and promptly fixed the problem. He replaced the faucet with a new faucet he had in his truck. That way I didn't have to take more time to go out and shop for a faucet. Now things are running well and there's no more water on the floor. Clay was great!

I was very pleased. He was professional, explained what he was going to do, and was even sorry that he had to charge me as much as he did.....for parts, labor, etc. He left me his card, and I will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: He checked all the toilets in my unit. He replaced what needed to be replaced; one piece of plastic at no extra charge. He even installed a shower head for me. (That wasn't on the list). And he checked my water pressure and adjusted it.

My kitchen sink was plumbed by someone who was clearly not a professional, but looks and works great after Kennedy re-plumbed it. The added hose bib works like a charm and meets code ... nothing more could be asked.

George arrived at the time he said he would. He found the bolt on our old faucet was frozen on under the sink so he had to saw off the faucet. He installed the new one without a problem, the whole job took him just under an hour. George was very professional, I would definitely call Kennedy Plumbing again. They do charge travel time but there was a $20 coupon on Angie's List.

On the afternoon of Sept 15 (Sat.) I suddenly discovered the plumbing was stopped up - toilets not flushing properly, water backing up in the shower and tub. Called Kennedy Plumbing's emergency number at approx. 1:30pm and spoke to Clay who knew immediately what the problem was. Said he needed to swing by the shop for a special piece of equipment and would be at my house in a hour. Since I had company coming at 3PM I was delighted to see Clay in less time than that. He swung into action with his long coil, cleared a couple of root balls out of the main pipe and was gone before my company arrived. THANK YOU CLAY. Barbara
Description of Work: Cleared out main pipe of root balls.

We had a pretty bad clog in our kitchen sink that started to overfill into the dishwasher and then seep out under the cabinets. The service man was on time and friendly. The clog needed a larger machine, which the guy was equipped with, so there was no delay. The price came in at the low end of the estimate and we got an additional $30 off via an Angie's List coupon.

I bought an older house and it had these ugly, horrible round bowl toilets. I went to Home Depot personally and picked up three nice Kohler replacements that I wanted to install.While I am waiting for some renovations in the upstairs bathrooms I decided to go ahead and get the downstairs one replaced (originally I had wanted the three done at the same time).I checked Angie's list and decided to use Kennedy (although the reviews showed they charged a little higher, they had an opening that same day). Brian came out, and within an hour or so ripped the old toilet out, installed the new one, and took care of disposing the old porcelain and all the packing materials for the new one. Needless to say I am sure it's a basic skill for any plumber, but I was really pleased with how professional and courteous Brian was to the house. He even asked me if I had any other questions on the new house (after he ran the charge), and helped me tackle a couple of simple leaks due to bad packing nuts in the outdoor faucets. I will definitely be calling them again once the two upstairs bathrooms are ready.
Description of Work: Whole toilet replacement.

Serviceman Clay arrived at 8:06, but started charging from 7:53 when he called to tell me he was coming. Dropped his cigarette on the front porch. Replaced adaptors without advising us. Claimed we have a hold in pipe and wants to come back and tear up concrete floor to locate it. Got 2nd opinion from another plumber who sees no evidence of broken pipe. It was just clogged.

I woke up to a huge puddle of clean water (thank goodness) around my toilet and into the throw rugs. I immediately went to Angie's List to find a reliable plumber; I know nothing about these kinds of things, but I knew I probably needed a new toilet (I'd had earlier problems with it). Kennedy not only would send out someone on a Sunday, but it would cost no more than a service visit on a weekday. They also had a supply of toilets, so I explained what I was looking for (white, chair height, that sort of thing). Brian arrived at our agreed upon time and went right to work, using a water vac to remove the standing water then taking out the old toilet, explaining to me what had happened. He installed the new toilet, which he had brought with him from their warehouse, installed the new toilet seat, took away the old toilet and all the various pieces and all the packaging for the new toilet, cleaned up, double checked the seal and the flush of the new toilet, and we were done. He was very friendly and helpful, and worked steadily and quickly (about 1 1/2 hrs)! My problem was solved.The charge, I think was very fair and good. -- the $30 Angie's List coupon helped! The toilet itself cost $245. That price was right on with the cost of toilets at Home Depot which I would have to have schlepped around in my car. I'm going to have Kennedy replace a dying water heater later this week. This is a very reliable company which does good work.
Description of Work: Sunday morning toilet emergency! Cleaned up the flooded tank water around my toilet. Removed the old toilet & installed a new one and a new toilet set. Double checked their work. Cleaned up the whole area. Emergency solved!
