So, my wife and I get back home after going apple picking, and are having a nice afternoon when I…read moreheard this strange clicking noise coming from the furnace. And then, BOOM! Something lets go, there's the sound of rushing water, and the whole downstairs fills up with steam. It was so thick I couldn't even see a foot in front of me in the basement as my plumber, Darren Powers, talked me through on the phone how to shut the furnace down, and which valve to turn to get the water to stop. Man! What a mess.... Darren was such a help to me. Though he had been up since early that morning working a job when I reached him at around 7:00 pm, he came over as soon as he could around 9:00 pm and worked on stabilizing things until about 10:30 pm so nothing else would happen. Because it was Saturday, he wasn't able to come back until Monday after gathering all the parts and equipment needed to fix the furnace and burst pipe line. I've known Darren for years, and he's helped me on many occasions. Each time, he came as soon as he could, did great work, and cleaned up the resulting mess after. I've trusted him numerous times to come in to do his work even when I wasn't home. And he's always been more than fair with not only his prices, but also his time. It doesn't get any better than that. Thanks, Darren. You're not only a great vendor, but I'm glad to have you as a friend.

Bob Santoro showed up and was upset because there was a tree removal crew working outside. He was…read morerude to my sister-in-law, to my husband and to me, as he stormed off the job saying he would not work in this environment. We had been waiting for 2 weeks for a small mixer issue to be repaired in our shower. We had two sets of guests visiting without a working shower. We were very excited to finally get a time to get it repaired. We have four adults and four young kids staying in the unit. I am 7 months pregnant. Both a lawyer and a doctor were working remotely within the unit at the time, without issue. It seems like he was expecting a quiet penthouse corner office to do his plumbing service. His service would've taken a few minutes to complete. His response was completely unreasonable. The tree crew was professional and safe. There was no risk to his safety. And, most unprofessional was his attitude. He knocked on the door just shaking his head. He responded, when I asked why he was leaving, that "he's out of here." And, when I asked if he was coming back or if I needed to find a new plumber, the company said he is not coming back. I'm very disappointed in his professionalism and attempt to provide a service to two families in need of it.

Santoro Plumbing was hired to do a job for me and Santoro himself came to do the estimate. He was…read morevery fast in getting here and assuring me that he could do the job for little money. I agreed to the cost and he then proceeded to bring two guys to do a one man apprentice job. If that wasn't enough, he decided to join the crew himself. I thought this was just him wanting to make sure it was done right for a new customer. Later I received the bill. He had charged me for his time at a Master Plumber's rate plus his Journeyman Plumber's rate and his Apprentice. All three were charging me for the same time period--the bill was enormous given the simple job. Many month and a court date decision later and this guy is plaguing me for his money. Do not do business with this guy! He is worse than the worst slick used car salesman in getting you to agree and then jacking up the price later. Be warned.

Shawn diagnosed the issue, recommended a strategy and gave me a quote that fit within my expectations. He performed a replacement and tested the new unit. He also walked me through exactly what he did. They conveniently sent me an invoice that I could pay electronically. Great service. Great value. And great people doing the work. Highly recommend.

Next day shows up unannounced when no one is here to supposedly fix it, we haven't even had quote yet, leaves phone message saying he was here. Finally we get him booked a week later, my husband books day off work to be here and the guy doesn't show up. Husband calls to be told he's cancelling because it's raining and he'll need to reschedule!! Job is on furnace in basement, which thanks to him messing with the valve has been leaking worse than ever but he can't come out because it's raining??? He lives in the same town, can't be more than 5 minutes! It's honestly a shame, he seems like a nice older man, but you can't mess people around like that. Ended up having to call someone else further away and more expensive but the puddle in the basement is becoming a pool.

The next day I called as something was still leaking and he found a crack in the toilet as well as the bowl - Al had dust and signs of having been there. I bought a toilet to try & defray the costs but the two appointments cost over $800! the plumber had a fairly bad attitude and sent me some nasty texts - insinuating I had cracked the toilet the night he was first there. I would not use them and do not recommend them. Cost was same as was quoted when the plumber got the toilet - outrageous pricing and bad attitude.

Being concerned about the expensive local plumber I have used in the past I went on the web! Not being comfortable with the label "PIPE DREAMS" I bit the bullet as he was very local and had a high "yelp" rating so I gave him a call the next business day about 9 am and left a message. He called me back about 10am from out of town but requested if he could stop by about "noon' time: and HE DID 1pm! He took one look and started taking his first of many trips to his truck and came back with a ladder and camera and found a leak at the 3 clock side of the connection. It was a very difficult repair. The steel ring holding the toilet was totally rusted out. But he had the tools in the truck . He not only had the tools in the truck he had all the parts to return the entire toilet to NEW CONDITION and rolled out at 2:45pm and I had a new toilet for HALF THE COST ANTICIPATED . I WAS STUNED. as a register professional engineer he exceeded my highest expectations . He knew what to do, how to do it, prepared to do it, and pleasant and friendly doing it. I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PIPE DREAMER
