Fred calls back quickly, gives excellent service and comes in at the price he quotes! Best plumber that we have used in VT by leaps and bounds. Went through 3 bad plumbers before we found Fred. Fred is also a very nice person to work with.

He did a great job and didn't charge us extra even though we asked him to look at another repair job!

If you're looking for a plumber, I can't recommend Fred Blakely highly enough. I called Fred after seeing his reviews on Angie's List and he responded to my message the same day. He's since been working with me on a bathroom remodel and I honestly can't imagine ever using another plumber. He returns calls promptly and shows up when he says he will (I think you could set a clock by the guy). He knows his trade inside and out. A very easy recommendation to anyone needing a plumber.

He was fast, clean, professional, cheerful, and affordable. I said in an earlier review that when I needed a plumber I'd call Fred Blakely, and that's what I did. Strongly recommended.

Fred, is quite simply, the best plumber I have ever worked with. He provides the best level of overall service that I have ever received. I have had the good fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Fred on several plumbing projects over the past several years -- bathroom remodels, kitchen work, toilet replacements, and much much much more. In each and every situation, he essentially saved my life -- he resolved the problem quickly and effectively and with the upmost professionalism. As someone who owns several properties, Fred has been a life saver. Fred not only knows his stuff, he is very willing to teach you anything you would like to know about plumbing. He has worked with all types of materials, over the years, and is extremely efficient at working with older materials, like copper, or newer materials, like PVC. He replaces or re-builds things, in a stronger way than they were before. Unlike many professionals, he is very willing to figure out how to build something so that it lasts. While there is an inherent life cycle of most pluming equipment, Fred takes the time to find a way to get the most strength and durability out of the plumbing equipment that he rebuilds or replaces. Specific examples of this include -- replacing hot water pipes, replacing shower pipes, re-locating kitchen sinks,and whole bathroom remodels. In one of my older houses in Montpelier, I needed to move a claw foot tub and Fred was instrumental in accomplishing that task. In another one of my buildings, I needed to rebuild a kitchen -- Fred was instrumental with that project. I highly recommend Fred. He is quite simply of one of the "un-sung heroes" of the greater Montpelier area and greater Washington county area. He keeps many, many primary and secondary homes, in Montpelier, East Montpelier, Calais, and the greater area running. He will respond to emergencies. He is 200% reliable as a plumber. He has complete integrity and he is completely reliable.

It went amazingly well. The house had been empty for a period of time and I wasn't sure what needed to be done. I contacted Fred through Angie's List, he answered the phone, was upbeat and we set up a time to meet. Fred beat me there. He was not in a rush and we walked through the house and made a list of what needed to be done. Fred "assigned" some tasks to me, mostly ordering some equipment to save me money. Through out the whole job Fred kept in touch, let me know if there was a problem and usually had the solution. He was also very generous with offering contacts of other vendors to help me out as I live about an hour away. Every recommendation he made was top notch. His prices are fair and really most importantly, he knows what he is doing. I feel so lucky I called Fred. Fred, thank you so much. Cathy

Mr. Blakely was quick to return calls, provided an estimate, showed up as scheduled, and did the work requested with no issues. I was very happy with the experience.

Answered my call himself. Was at my house within 4 hours. Conservative with use of materials, efficient with time and friendly with kids and pets. Excellent rate. Will call again.
