1st time, plumber arrived on time. He was courteous and professional. He reset something in the garbage disposal within minutes and it work fine thereafter. Likewise, he adjusted something in the toilet tank and made the water stop running. His total time at my house was less than 30 minutes. Unfortunately, within a couple of days, I was experiencing the same problem. 2nd time, Big State sent a plumber out at no additional cost. It was a different plumber this time. Again, he was punctual, courteous and professional. He made adjustments in the toilet tank, stating that I should have no additional issues. He told me that should I have additional issues, I simply needed to adjust a screw down valve. Again, within a couple of days, I was experiencing the same problem. 3rd time, Big State sent a plumber out at no additional cost. It was a different plumber again. Again, he was punctual, courteous and professional. I stated my concerns, that simply tightening a screw down valve over and over is of little benefit it the threading is worn out. Instead, I asked that the part be replaced. This plumber agreed. He left to buy the part, returned and replaced it quickly. He didn't charge me for the replacement parts. Weeks later, it works as it should. Big State was responsive and honored their work. I would have given them an "A" if it didn't take 3 trips to fix the problem.

I called Gary (owner) and he promptly answered the phone and told me that he could have someone come out the same day. I have to say we were very pleased that he was so accommodating because it seemed as if he had a pretty busy schedule. Gary did not come but he sent his team out and they came exactly within the time frame given and looked at the garbage disposal. There was something minor wrong so the guy just looked and took out the problem and it was fixed! It took him all of 10 minutes tops to access and fix the problem. He even gave some advice on how to keep the disposal running at top performance. Why I will use them again and recommend them is because Gary tries his best to accommodate and he is more than generous with pricing and mainly because he was very honest with us. Honesty in business dealings is crucial for us and is the only way that we could recommend someone. Gary's team came out and honored the free consultation and did even more than that! The guys didn't have to take out the little piece of plastic as this was just a consult but they did and the disposal was fixed! Yes, I will recommend Gary and Plumbco and will surely use them again.

Now, less than a year later, 12 out of 31 drawers don't work - they slam and/or don't self-close. When we looked into that, we realized that instead of installing high-end BluMotion by Blum soft and self closing drawer slides as per our contract, Klaus installed some cr**ppy slides made by Ferari. We forgave him for a lot of other things (notice that I only wrote this review now. We let all the other issues, even major, go until this drawer fraud was revealed), but substituting $27 parts with some $4 cr*p is is low. And all for what? A few hundred dollars of cost savings Klaus got out of it? 2) The kitchen island was supposed to be espresso STAINED wood. We carefully chose the color from the variety of stained samples Klaus has provided us with. Using the sample, we chose and purchased the hardwood floors and the granite counter. Then Klaus brought in and installed PAINTED cabinets instead, and the brown paint he got is not even close to the espresso stain color we have chosen. We felt like idiots for that we spent so much time trying to find the perfect countertop to match the cabinets, when the cabinets turned out to be nothing like what we ordered. Plus, the paint job was bad: he tried to fix it (using the roller) but only made things worse. Klaus ended up disappearing on us, abandoning the project. Since he left, the paint continues to chip. I still don't understand what he was thinking. Did he seriously expect us not to notice that cabinets are painted when they were supposed to be stained?? 3) When wiring for under-cabinet lights, he connected two wires (not even with a wire nut) and left them hanging in the wall. He was about to patch the opening in the drywall when we caught him. This is incredibly dangerous - leaving wires in the wall without a junction box. Not to mention that you have to have access to all the points of connection, so you can't just close up the wall and hang a cabinet over it. Klaus is a chief of volunteer fire department in Magnolia. I could not believe he was going to leave the wires in the wall just like that!! 4) The dishwaser was improperly connected: the dirty water with pieces of food flows back to the dishwasher from the garbage disposal (because the hose does not loop up above the drain level like it should), and the dishwasher stinks as a results. Klaus cut the hose short to go straight to the disposal, so we cannot even fix this problem without taking the dishwasher out completely and replacing the hose. 5) The fabrication of the cabinets was supposed to take 4 weeks, the installation was supposed to take 3 days. Instead, it took 4 months start to finish. Admittedly, Klaus has plausible reasons for the delay: death in the family first, then Klaus himself got very sick, then there was some equipment malfunction at the shop. We were understanding and to speed things up we hired an electrician (we didn't trust him anyway after the wire in the wall situation) and a plumber to do the work Klaus was supposed to do as per our contract. Klaus managed the best he could - he was installing kitchen in parts over the period of two months, so the were able to partially use it. We were pretty upset with the painted cabinets instead of stained, but we went along with it, letting him to fix the chipping and running paint, instead of making him make us new cabinets and stain them. We were not happy that the whole thing took months instead of weeks, but we accepted it and tried to stay optimistic. But when the drawers started falling apart and we found out that he substituted Blum drawer slides we paid for with this cr*p, we could not get over it. This is pure fraud and there is no excuse for it."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/houston/k-g-homepro-master-carpenters-and-cabinet-makers-reviews-2692105.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Abacus Plumbing, Air Conditioning and Electrical","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Deborah M."},"reviewBody":"New reverse is osmosis system, new garbage disposal"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/houston/abacus-plumbing%2C-air-conditioning-and-electrical-reviews-174425.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Sam The Plumber","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Joseph L."},"reviewBody":"I contacted sam the plumber and asked how much it would be to replace a garbage disposal that went out.

"I purchased my first water softener and reverse osmosis water purifier 18 years ago when we first built our house. We loved both! But nothing lasts forever and both needed to be replaced. Luckily, I still had the paperwork from the original installation and I knew who to call. I received the same great service and attention as I had 18 years ago. Both the office staff and installers were extremely professional and courteous. The installers were very good about explaining everything…how the equipment worked and how to maintain it. A big plus for me, is they were very respectful of my property. They left everything clean and organized before leaving."

We’ll explain everything and provide upfront, honest pricing options, so you feel confident from start to finish. We only hire the very best craftsman and give them the very best training and resources. All of our work is backed by the integrity of the John Moore name.
"recently called John Moore Services for what should have been a simple plumbing issue — a clogged bathroom sink connected to my air conditioner drain line. I reached out after seeing their TV commercial promoting clogged sink service for “about $69.” What I quickly discovered is that this advertised rate applies to an extremely narrow and unadvertised category of sinks that almost no real-world situation meets. My straightforward, less-than-20-minute fix was quoted at over $600 to snake. This is an outrageous markup for such a basic job. As a former small business owner, I find these tactics troubling. This is a textbook example of bait-and-switch advertising — grabbing attention with a low price, then upselling with inflated charges once the customer is committed. Practices like this harm consumers and tarnish the reputation of the many honest, hardworking service providers in our community. Shame on you, John Moore Services. My strong recommendation: Do Not Use."

FAQs for garbage disposal repair projects in Friendswood, TX
In most cases, appliance warranties do not transfer to new owners. However, some exceptions apply. To check the status of your appliance warranty and whether you can transfer it when you move, review the terms and conditions of your warranties or consult your home warranty service. When purchasing a new appliance or one from a previous owner, be sure to pay attention to its warranty status, including the type of coverage and any exclusions.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Typically, most appliances last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, depending on the appliance, brand, and amount of use. Keeping a regular maintenance schedule, including cleaning and tune-ups, also helps appliances last longer. Dryers, gas stoves, and refrigerators tend to last the longest, averaging about 13 to 15 years. Microwaves and dishwashers tend to last about 10 years on average.
The cost of home appliances ranges from $350 to $8,000 or more, depending on the brand, type of appliance, and features. Additional cost factors include any hookups that need to be installed, such as gas, plumbing, or electrical. Keep in mind that major appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and water heaters, will cost more than minor appliances, such as microwaves, due to the size, complexity, and essential nature of the item.
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.
