I had to call the Mr. Rooter again. During second visit the augr was used again to clear the blockage. The performance is borderline and it is a question of very short time before the toilet starts to backup again. The re-installation of toilet is poor. It rocks sideways. The plumber did not have caulk with him and asked me to caulk the area myself. The prices are negotiated and not per the published paper the plumber brought. They also tried to sell some type of annual contract that did not make any sense at all. Mr. Rooter came exactly as scheduled the first time. For the followup visit they were delayed and kept me informed of the delay. This is much appreciated.

Called American Drain and they are very accommodating and agreed to come over in 30 minutes. When I asked about the price, they won't quote me over the phone stating every case is different. I mentioned that the old toilet is already removed and it should be a straight forward job; the plumber almost installed the new one to the finish but had to remove due to mis-matched tank. I said the other plumbers I asked all quoted in 175-200 range. Anyway, the plumber arrived shortly after and took a look and said they usually charge $450 for toilet installation; but since the old one is already removed, they will charge $400. I was a little shocked of the high price. Since the plumber is already here, I will get charged $79 even if I declined for them to do the job; so called the owner and negotiated the price down. He insisted that this is the market price (they do include 1 year guarantee) even though none of the plumbers I talked to has the price over $200 (and yes I also get these plumber listings from Angies list and all have A ratings). Since I am paying less, there is no guarantee for my installation. Now for the good part, the plumber is very nice and professional. Didn't rush the job since I paid less. He did the installation carefully (took 30 minutes for the whole process) and the toilet worked great. He is also pretty patient and answered my questions during the installation. So, overall, I think they are probably good for bigger jobs since the warranty sounds nice; for smaller things like toilet installation, the price seems high to me.
To the Provider's Response:
1) The parts I had was mismatched for the previous plumber, which is why he couldn't finish the job. We got the correct parts after that, so there is no mismatched parts when your plumber came. So it is a very straight forward install. (probably easier than a regular install since the old toilet was already removed). 2) The point I am trying to make is when I called for a quote, be a little up front. I mentioned several times that the other plumbers are quoting me $175-200 on the phone, which is apparently way below your standard rate. You probably have good reason to charge that rate which is fine, but you should just let me know then that the estimate is much higher than what I have in mind and save both of us some trouble."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/pa/phoenixville/american-drain-cleaning-and-plumbing-reviews-378730.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Goodman Plumbing Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"PA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mike B."},"reviewBody":"Toddler put cat toy in basement toilet -- they were able to respond same day I called.

The service was prompt and the service technician had to do a little innovating to fix the problem. It turned out that the toilet wasn't properly assembled but he worked around the problem.

He was on time, he had everything he needed with him and it only took him a little over an hour to fix the problem. He was thorough and he did a great job! The toilet was driving me crazy and it made me worry but now I am happy with the results of getting my toilet fixed! Phillip Schafers...

I like to leave a little time before doing a review to make sure the work "sticks". They installed a toilet from a Big Deal. They came on time and did the work, leaving the bathroom nice and clean. Months later, the toilet has not given us any problems.

"QUICK, FRIENDLY, and CHEAP!! First, AJ called me within 30 seconds of me texting him asking for an estimate. I sent him a photo of our water leak issue and he immediately responded. He actually explained that we could probably handle the repair ourselves if we were up for it, instead of paying him or someone else. He then walked us through every step in detail and made sure we were comfortable with the directions. So in the end, it cost us $0 in labor and only a small amount for materials, and really demonstrated AJ's integrity and generosity!"

"We were in the process of renovating our apartment and needed to apply for permits from the government, which required an architect-signed design drawing. Anthony came highly recommended.

"They truly live by the code of "you get what you paid for". The price was cheaper than expected (and they included a free estimate too). So ultimately, our slow bathtub drain was cleared. However, the technician had terrible housekeeping. After stripping the caulking around the overflow valve, they left the caulking pieces in the bathtub and told us to flush them down the drain (?!). They said the provided bio solution would clear the pieces just fine...but why do that when a trash can is less than a foot away?? Then, they did not offer to reseal the valve they just opened...just left a mess for us to pick up. As such, we will not be using them again next time...free estimate or not. If we wanted the bare minimum, we would have done it ourselves."

The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
