While trying to clean a drain in the bathroom sink, I cracked the drainpipe. I called Matt that morning. He responded within the hour and was at my house later that afternoon. After replacing the drainpipe, Matt repaired two leaking toilets. He was very professional and left both bathrooms very clean. If I have any future plumbing to be done, I will not hesitate to use Matt Mertz Plumbing.

Matt came out to unfreeze the pipes on a Sunday morning, which resulted in a $250 service call. When he opened up the area where our water main line the pipes unfroze and he did not need to perform any service beyond that. He was friendly, professional and prompt, but I thought $250 for a service call, even on a Sunday, was a little excessive. I would use him again during the week for a project, but in the future I will inquire about costs prior to having a plumber come out on the weekend -- it was my fault.
Description of Work: Our pipes froze overnight Saturday and we needed to call a plumber on Sunday. We chose Matt becuase he was highly recommended by Angie's List. Also, I called him on a prior occassion about frozen pipes and he was very helpful over the phone.

Between two houses (Mother and Daughter), Matt has done numerous jobs for us on several occasions. He always answers the phone right away, says when he can come, calls beforehand, comes when he says he will come, is courteous, is fast, and does excellent work. His prices seem more than reasonable. You really can't ask for anything more in a plumber. He even cleaned under my Mother's washing machine, which had been leaking oil. (This was the problem in the first place -- our valves needed to be replaced in order for us to get a new washing machine installed.) We have tried many plumbers over the years -- but we finally feel as if we have found a good one.
Description of Work: Matt replaced two valves that control the washing maching water supply. In addition, he changed a leaky drain pipe under our kitchen sink.

I purchased a State water from my local hardware store a year an a half ago. Matt did a great job on the installation of the water heater. My tank was still under warranty from State and I had a faulty gas valve that had to be replaced. I called Matt and he came the next day and put the new part on my hot water tank. Matt is very trustworthy and honest, and his work is excellent. Safety is a big concern with Matt, he does the job right the first time. I did learn one lesson from this experience, the next time I need a hot water tank I will buy it directly from Matt and not the hardware store !!!

Matt was awesome. He is extremely knowledgable and skilled, very personable and explains everything clearly and professionally. He knows what he is doing and does not gouge the customer (which I really, really appreciated after having worked with multiple other plumbers). From the first interaction until the job was done, he was responsive, on time, diligent and trustworthy. I gave his inofrmation to everyone in my family!

Matt came when he said he would after having to reschedule us a few hours later than planned because of an interim emergency. He was extremely polite and informative, making rapid adjustments where necessary and answering all of our concerns. He worked quickly and efficiently and I am delighted to have found someone so competent since I know that a house of this age will someday present us with another need for Matt's services.
Description of Work: We have just purchased a 109 year old house and the upstairs bath was draining poorly, there were some plumbing connections for the dishwasher and a floor drain in the basement questioned by the house inspector. I called Matt and we agreed on a date a week later since the problems are not urgent, we have not yet moved in and are working on the interior of the house.

I traced a leak in the basement/garage up to the main bathroom faucet. Not being familiar with the type of faucet we have, I decided to get some help. We joined Angie's list and Matt was one of three in the list that came up. We called Matt (who answered the call personally) and based on the flow rate of the leak, it required prompt attention. At the time of the call he said he was just finishing another job and said he would be by our house in half an hour. When he got to our house he took appart the faucet and tried fixing the area that was leaking to no avail, determined thet there was a crack in the assembly, which he replaced with a matching assembly he happened to have with him. Leak is fixed.
Description of Work: Fixed and replaced items in the bath/shower faucet assembly that was leaking

gas leak repair

We purchased a stove at Lowes, but they never informed us that the installers would not touch the existing gas line. The men showed up and literally left the stove in the kitchen. There was no warning, so we had this stove sitting in the middle of the kitchen. We called Matt and explained we would like him to come over and help us out. The existing line needed capped and checked for leaks. Matt usually does his scheduling on Sunday, so he was booked for the week. He was nice enough to shoot over to our house within the hour to help us install the stove. He was extremely professional, as usual, and did many extra things to help us out. We offered to pay him some extra cash, but he did it to be nice. He capped the gas line, checked for leaks, helped me move the new stove in place, and take the old one to the curb. I would say he went well beyond his responsibilities. Matt is hungry to be the best and exceeds our expectations every time he does work at our house. I feel extremely comfortable having him at the house and doing his job. He fit us in because he knew we were in a jam and gave us a great price for the work that was completed. Great job Matt, keep up the great work.
Description of Work: Capped a gas line and checked for leaks. Also helped move the new stove in place and take other one out to curb, which was not part of his job, but did it to help us out.

Matt was right on time, actually early. I talked to him on the phone 3 times and he was extremely professional. He came over and started to get to work right away. I can tell he wanted to get going and moved the entire time he was in the house. He wants to get things done and is extremely motivated to get the work done and done right. He moved through the upstairs toilets quickly and admitted it went faster than expected. He did not try to gobble up time doing something stupid and try to cost me more money. I talked to him during the work and he was an interesting guy that wants to earn an honest dollar. He made his way to the first level and got started on the sink and faucet. We got 6 bids on the job and he was right in the middle, but one person said it would take 6 hours to do the pedestal sink, Matt had that done in about an hour. I was so impressed with how he took phone calls and would work at the same time. I never felt like one second was wasted. He finished in the kitchen and finished the last toilet in the basement. Before I knew it he was done and early. I liked him loads as a person, the work was done exactly as described if not better, and he tried to save us some money. We had this one drain that was clogged, he jumped right up stairs at the end to fix it. He takes his work seriously and I will have him back to he house with any plumbing concern. I finally got someone that I can trust and use without worry. I hate to put all this information on here, because I do not want him to get too busy incase I need him :). Matt is a great guy, you cannot go wrong using him.

Matt responded to our initial call very quickly and scheduled a time to review the work to be done. He arrived promptly to evaluate the state of our bathroom remodel, and told us the hourly rate up front. He described what work would need to be done, and we established how much we would be comfortable doing ourselves and how much we wanted him to do. The work was performed about 2 weeks after the initial review. Again, Matt and his colleague arrived on time and went straight to work. I believe they were complete in about 6 hours. Although they had a lot of equipment, everything was cleaned up perfectly when they were done.
Description of Work: Matt performed the following work in one day. Items related to a bathroom remodel: 1) repositioned drain pipes and supply lines for sink. 2) repaired drain line for tub. 3) installed new valve for shower. 4) installed new tub. Miscellaneous other items: 5) addressed overly high water pressure issue by replacing part on main supply line. 6) adjusted kitchen sink faucet.

Left a message and got a call back the same day. They came out the very next day and did fast and fantastic work. Very professional and helpful. Did extra work on a bathroom sink that he didn't even charge us for. Awesome in every way! Strongly recommend!! From 12/09/05, I was delighted that the gentleman I spoke to took time to talk through ideas for me to try with the tub. He said that he hated for me to pay for him to come out and tell me the same things that he was telling me over the phone. Very refreshing attitude!
