The nob was now lost and I went to Home Depot to find a new knob. However, they only sold entire hose bibbs. I took a few sizes home only to realize the hose bibb on my house was soldered on. It got late and it was Sunday. 911 Plumbing was the only company willing or able to come out within the hour. Felix was the guy who handled removing the old bibb and putting a new one. He was fairly quick in replacing it. He also was friendly and very informative whenever I had questions. This is apparently a family company and I would highly recommend them.

Hosford Plumbing is an amazing family-owned business. Mark and his son are doing the field work,…read morewhile his wife is handling the office. We had a water heater leak and were stuck without hot water. Mark was able to troubleshoot the problem over the phone with me sending pictures of our installation. This saved a roundtrip to just look at the situation and got us back up and running in 2 days. He brought the new water heater and also noticed a few valves that needed to be replaced. The install took a good while but they explained everything in detail, and did a great job. Mark is more than willing to give you advice over the phone and he is very knowledgeable about various plumbing installations. We can only highly recommend Hosford Plumbing and will use them again.

**Edited review*** Posted 6/16/26 I received a phone call…read morethis morning from their Customer Service Manager, Will. I'm updating my review to 2 stars...and it has nothing to do with Will or the HVAC technician. Customer service is very good from this company- Will listened to my concerns and then showed me where the service call disclaimer/pricing is. Yes, it's there...on the last page before you confirm your booking. As someone who builds websites, whoever built this site didn't look at how everything looks on ALL devices. The font is small and when you confirm your booking, you really can't tell what you're agreeing to. With that said, Will refunded the service fee and we both agree how important transparency is. My two star review is now simply based on the price of their service, not for the customer service. A 35 minute job, replacing a condensate pump and testing the system shouldn't cost $886. _________________________________________________________________________ Original review posted 6/15/2026 While the technician was very friendly and I appreciated the email/text with his name and picture...here's where the problem lies...(and not with the technician AT ALL- he did his job, truly) The price they quoted to replace the condensate pump, connect to the existing drain system and test for proper operation- 886. After the friendly tech told me the quote, I did some quick research... For my area, my house layout, ease of accessing the HVAC system....a rough estimate is anywhere from 300-600. I told the service tech I was referred by a friend...any referral discounts? Any yelp discounts? He checked with the office...nope. Nothing. We found condensate pump online and in big box stores for literally 1/8th of their price...and we're going to fix it ourselves. Nothing motivates you more than getting an estimate where you know you're being price gouged. Oh, be prepared to pay $89 for a service call...but they'll waive it if you have them do the work...@@ And there was no mention of a service fee until I told the tech the price was super high. Nothing on their website or when you make an online appointment- which is how I made the appointment. No mention of it in their multiple email confirmations, or text confirmation. And even when Allie called this morning to reschedule from 12-2 to 2-4, there was NO mention of a fee. If I knew there was a fee, I would've cancelled my appointment. Sneaky tactic! Hard pass.

I was quoted triple the going rate for a very straightforward toilet installation and was told it would be an additional cost to haul the existing toilets away (other plumbers just include this is their installation cost at a third of what I was quoted from this company). Lastly, and probably most egregiously, I was told that it is wise for me to get a hydro-jetting as "maintenance" on the pipes and that they recommend homes do this every 6 or 7 years at the cost of $3000. Every other plumber I spoke to told me that it is absolutely unnecessary to do this service unless there's a problem with drainage and it's actually needed especially with newer homes. So glad I did my research and didn't agree to what now feels very much like a cash grab / oversell on their part.

Their parts and labor pricing was transparent and matched what I had researched. Other companies turned in over priced bids and tried to upsell me on unnecessary repairs or services.

They were courteous, friendly and cleaned up after themselves. Communication was easy and responsive. The work done was top notch. They checked everything and made sure there were no leaks. Pricing for the required parts was extremely fair. There was no added margin on parts. I highly recommend Buddy Plumbing highly for all plumbing projects.
