Some of the contractors I had contacted had yet to reply 24 hours after my call or email. Those who did reply were vague as to the time to repair my problems. Shawn was upfront with all I asked of him. His show up plus first hour fees were higher than other quotes, but my instincts told me to choose Shawn. He arrived on time, went right to work, and wasted not his or my time! He answered all my questions as he worked. I was very pleased and will recommend anyone reading this to work with Shawn!

Despite our being a new customer and their being "booked solid until a week from Friday," they had a plumber out that afternoon to fix the sink and another out first thing the next morning to locate and fix the leak. Both Mike and Kenny were great, and the bill was a pleasant surprise. But for their quick work, our week at the beach likely would have turned into a one-night stay.

This morning I was faced with a very bad sewage problem in a rental condo that I manage. I called…read moreBlivens Plumbing and explained that I had an emergency. The friendly and helpful receptionist immediately moved our problem to the front of the list, and Robert and his helper were there within 15 minutes. What began as an individual condo situation became a problem affecting the entire building of 12 units and involved the condo management association. Robert knew how to get help, and all of the people who responded to his accurate assessment were able to work together to solve the problem. We have used Blivens Plumbing for many years. This situation had the potential to turn into a very, very bad scene for a lot of people. Robert and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and committed. They got the job done quickly and correctly. I highly recommend them! Thank you!!!

My Wife and I own a home in Kill Devil Hills. I received an e-mail from Dare County water saying…read morethat we were using 72 gallons of water a day. At present it is a 2nd home in the near future our home. We had a local plumber who is small, I called him but he couldn't help me as he was busy, he gave me another person, and when I called them they were rude as all get out and said he didn't deal with emergencies.. I called The Gentleman Plumber and spoke to, I hope I remember properly Sara. She was amazing. She had said somebody else had the same issue and it was probably a running toilet.... I asked for an emergency call but Sara couldn't promise they could get there that day however they did. They came to the house, and toilet was in fact running and they repaired it. we don't live there now but in the near future we are retiring in that house. I can't thank Sara and all who fixed something we were so worried about... She and they were tremendous! So if you are looking for a plumber and while the one we have is great, I will endorse them, I would use them, and I would rely on them in the future. Today professionalism and care mean a lot. I would encourage anybody who needs plumbing service to have them in your pocket........ They are and especially Sara should be a go to Mike and Loris McCoy Hamilton VA Soon to be from Kill Devil Hills

He said that he could handle it and would get back to me with a price. 6 days later I texted him asking if he had put together a price for me. I wasn't shopping for a plumber, I was planning to use him because he was referred by someone I trusted. Mike never responded. I waited 2 weeks before deciding to post this review. Part of being a good contractor is showing up and getting back with people. If he said that he wasn't interested, or was too busy, I would of looked for someone else. Instead I lost valuable time and had to try and get another plumber. Luckily I found someone who not only is happy to the job, but returns calls. Not even a difficult job. Maybe he's a good plumber, I'll never know. This review is based on the fact that he did come to my house, and did say that he would give me a price. Therefore, I did officially use his business. It wasn't like I showed up at a restaurant with no reservations and then posted a bad review about them because they wouldn't seat me. It's more like having a reservation and being seated but never being served. You the can make your own decisions. This was my experience.
