Bob was great in helping us figure out what needed to be done and what could wait. He was great to work with and reasonable in price. His follow-up was outstanding, He installed a new expansion tank for our heating system, and months later when I got confused on bleeding the top radiator in the winter, I called him on the phone and, though I had called him out of the blue, he patiently and cheerfully walked me through the process of going to the basement to let more water into the system and then back to the second floor to bleed the radiator and then back to check the pressure again. He stayed with me on the phone for more than half an hour til we got the problem fixed (i.e., we had heat in the bathroom radiator), and then didn't bill us for the time even when I suggested he bill us. Bob is great.
Description of Work: We bought an old house which needed a lot of work, and we also wanted to put in a first floor powder room.

I consulted with Bob regarding the possibility of renewing old drain pipes that were visible in the ceiling of my living room. He came out once on his own, and then a second time, this time with his assistant and another friend. After spending some time, he said the job would be to big for him and that it would require taking up the bathroom floors. However, he seemed very knowledgeable and he was prompt and helpful. He did not charge me for his time, but I would hire him for smaller jobs if I had any.
Description of Work: Renew old plumbing as feasible via a hole in the living room ceiling.

He was not able to get the old stems out. I ended up doing the job myself. It wasn't easy but I got it done fairly quickly.
Description of Work: Stems needed to be replaced in the supply faucets for an older Kohler whirlpool tub.

We asked for a dripping shower to be fixed, thinking it just needed new washer. However, it was an old fixture, and the only solution was to replace the whole structure. We had been quoted the approximate price - (labor per hour for 2 men + cost of parts), and that was accurate and fair. We had not expected - but greatly appreciated - Bob's taking a look at other plumbing in the house, and including for no extra charge, replacement in some cases, repairs in others, many other needs of which we had not been aware. He and his assistant were competent, quick, clean and courteous. And he squeezed us in right during the holiday season. We have no hesitation in recommending Gruber & Sons, Inc. plumbing!
Description of Work: Replaced shower faucet. Replaced rubber washing machine hoses with metal ones. Repaired toilet tank parts and stabilized toilet. Shut off water to outside faucet. Added new main water shut-off valve due to inoperability of main valve at curb-side.

Response from Gruber & Sons
[Removed Member Name] Thanks so very much for your review on Angie's List. My only advertising is free, including customer word-of-mouth and reviews such as yours. Don't hesitate to recommend me to your friends and neighbors! (work has been slow lately, so the sooner the better - LOL) Please forgive my blatant appeal for work, and again THANKS! Bob Gruber

water heater repair

Description of Work: Installed electric water heater ~5 years ago and more recently installed a water powered sump pump within the past 2 years (very useful as we tend to lose power unfortunately every year and at risk for basement flooding; worked great when we lost power for 1 week with Hurrican Sandy). Was timely and professional in his work, educational and informative. Was quick to evaluate the home in 2014 when it was noted that the water heater was no longer working and quickly identified the problem (PECO, not the heater itself) at no cost. Very professional, would use again.
