Let me tell you Zivko is the absolute best, I'm glad I found him again. He came out to fix a broken sink in our basement laundry room. I had lost his business card but my wife recently found it and I'm glad she did. I have a home and a condo that I rent. A few weeks ago, I had the AC unit run out of freon at my condo and I had a new renter in there. I needed someone fast and I couldn't find Zivko's card so I ended up hiring someone that overcharged me, never again. When my wife found Zivko's card we had a sink that was leaking in the basement and Zivko came out right away and fixed it. He is an absolute pro, you will not find someone in his profession who is more honest, has better rates, and wants to do right by his customers. He is a genuine nice guy who will do his best to solve your problem. He deserves way more than 5 stars too. The absolute best!!! read more

Our central AC stopped blowing cold air. We noticed the fan on the unit stopped running. My family member is usually one to fix things for us when things break down, but unfortunately, we couldn't go to him because of a family emergency. We went with Payless Plumbing because of the good reviews whose authenticity I highly question at this point. Made it on time for appointment and was very responsive with communication. I would prefer to be told the price of repair after checkup to see if I wanted to proceed. Didn't think it would be that much as I watched him install a generic capacitor to fix the fan. I thought maybe that's why he went ahead and did it without telling me the price. I was definitely surprised when my total came to $289 some less than 30 minutes later. This was the price for part, labor and diagnostic. Called around afterwards to check if this is the normal rate. The ones I contacted quoted $150 for parts and labor including diagnostics. I definitely feel overcharged and will try one of the other companies I contacted next time there's a problem. I'm looking for a reliable company I could trust to turn to, and this one is unfortunately not it. read more

Awesome service. The plumber arrived in less than an hour, identified the problem, and fixed it. The price was reasonable as well. I will be calling this plumber again. read more

Had a leak in the line supplying water to our refrigerator related to a old filter. Found and contacted Payless through Yelp and they lived up to the good reviews. Showed up right at the beginning of the promised timeframe, finished in about 45 minutes and the price was fair. Couldn't ask for anything more. read more

Needed a new hot water heater in a hurry and requested proposals from three different plumbers, including Payless. Payless responded immediately, and as the name might suggest, was the most price-competitive of the three. I especially liked that they were able to quote the job based solely on photos of the existing equipment, which many plumbers are unwilling to do. The installation experience was just as painless. They arrived on time, did top-quality work, thoroughly tested the new heater, explained its operation, hauled away the old one, and cleaned up after themselves. The owner, Zivko, is extremely courteous and personable, and totally committed to customer satisfaction. Can't say enough good things about him and his firm. Will definitely use again. read more

Zivko is awesome! Responded in minutes to messaged request! Came the same day, fixed problem and there you have it! Best plumbing experience! read more

Great, very responsive and timely. Friendly and honest. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a plumber in the area

I called and left several messages and never got a call back. I suppose this company could have been busy, or didn't want to do the job, but the least you could do is call and say that you're not willing or too tied up to do it. Not sure why they have a 100% response rate. read more

No problems at all. We'd use them again in a heartbeat, and plan to contact them to check our AC soon. Zivko came to check a noise in our furnace and talked to me about it pretty thoroughly. No fix needed, as far as he could tell. He did notice our hot water tank, though, and identified multiple problems with the way it was installed. We are newer to our house and know there was some deferred maintenance, so again he talked me through concerns and things to watch for. He sent a reasonable quote for replacing it, and then there was no pressure after that. When I finally got it together to schedule him, he came with another guy and were in and out so fast, and so clean. I can't say enough good things about him - I know more than I ever thought I'd know about hot water tanks now... it ended up being a much more urgent job than even he realized so we are pleased that he said something. It didn't feel like an upsell, etc. because Zivko was very clear he thought the furnace fix might eliminate a noise that wasn't a problem but that I'd just suddenly started to notice. I like these kinds of pros, and when they're as good as he is I really want to invite him to look around my whole entire house for stuff he, himself would want to address!!! read more

Responsive and very helpful. Contacted the company due to my heating going out on a saturday evening. Company was honest saying they could come out on Sunday for a surcharge, but it would probably not do much considering parts stores were closed. Came out on Monday, took a look, and quickly diagnosed the issue. Very pleasant to deal with, would work with again. read more

I contacted this company based on the yelp reviews. Though, I indicated clearly and specifically my situation and need, I received one email follow up saying- need more information. I again restated the situation and need in even more detail, and I was never contacted. read more

To our recently moved-in house that is over 70 years old, Zivko from Payless Plumbing performed the work to replace the original galvanized water pipe with copper. This involved tearing out a good chunk of the front yard, and using heavy construction equipment. Zivko was very thorough in explaining the entire process, and performed the work exactly as promised. Furthermore, he has been extremely responsive and helpful in resolving various unrelated water issues I've had since then. His patience in dealing with my late night texts asking questions, and his solution to one of the issues determined from camera phone pictures, is very much appreciated. He will be our go-to guy on all things plumbing in the future. read more

Very professional resource, he took the time to explain to me why he cannot do the job and I should be going to a Sprinkler system professional for help. read more

Z was the man, super efficient and nice...he got back to me quickly and showed up as well as finished the job within about an hour. I recommend him for anyone looking for a plumber, also he's been doing it for 15 years and knows his stuff. read more

After a quick back and forth over Yelp email system we agreed upon a price and time for the repair. Zivko was on time and completed the work in a professional manner. Price was quite reasonable IMO. He took the time to explain the repair and walked me through the testing so I could see that everything was taken care of properly with no negative side effects. Looks like we found our new "go to" plumber! read more

While I did not contract with this company because we weren't in their servicing area, they did reply promptly to my request for a quote and even provided a possible reason for why my A/C wasn't working. I appreciated both the quick response and the information. read more

Great work, fair prices, and takes the time to explain what going on and what is required to fix the issue. Will definitely use them again.

I clogged the toilet with lysol wipes,so embarrassing. Tried everything to fix the situation myself but after a few days and trips to home depot, gave up. Zivko came right away and fixed the problem for me. His price was fair- I think better than other plumbers in the area especially given his good customer service and punctuality as well as knowledge. He explained my entire water system to me! Also,I liked that I could text with Zivko because I am in the generation that hates making calls. Really glad we went with Zivko. read more

Great guy. Very freindly and knowledgeble. Replaced hot water heater expansion tank. Quick response. Gave some good suggestion on maintainence. read more

From start to finish Payless has been easy to work with, responsive, efficient and extremely professional. In addition to being multi-talented, Zivko's attention to detail is laudable. He uncovered a potential serious issue when he noticed, through a floor opening, that a sink in the half bath was not connected to the sewer line, but rather draining to the crawl space! The area was exposed as a result of having new floors installed. He fixed it on the spot and the floor project was able to continue without delay. We have hired Payless Plumbing on multiple occasions and would not hesitate to do so in the future. You can hire Payless Plumbing with confidence. read more

I had Payless Plumbing come to replace some long outdated pipes and install new hardware in a shower. Zivko was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, efficient and clean. He walked me through everything he was going to do before he started the job and again walked me through everything he did once he finished the job. I will 100% use him again for any of my plumbing needs. Highly recommend! read more

This is my go-to plumber for leaky toilets and pipes now. I had a different toilet leaking and he fixed it fast and correctly and for a fair price. He installed manufacturer parts (OEM) for what needed to be replaced too. That's important. A lot people don't. He does. read more

My fiance and I recently moved to the area and needed a plumber, saw the excellent reviews, and decided to call Payless. We needed someone urgently, and Zivko arrived within 15 minutes after we called. He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave us a repair estimate significantly lower than we'd gotten from another plumber. He did the work in no time. He's a really friendly guy, fast, responsive, and reasonably priced -- what more could you ask for in a plumber? We'll definitely call Zivko next time we have a problem! read more

Zivko comes to the rescue once again! The pipe to our kitchen sink froze and Zivko came the next day to look at it. He recommended wrapping the pipe with heating tape due to the location, and to wait and see if that helps before considering moving the whole thing to prevent further freezing. We'll definitely call him if we need any other plumbing help. read more

Loved working with Zivko! He was fast, knowledgable, and efficient. Correctly diagnosed the problem and worked quickly to fix it. A job that he thought might take 2-3 hours to fix he was able to complete in 1.5 hours. Highly recommend. read more

Zivko came out on Saturday, he was very helpful and the service was remarkable. Highly recommended.

Zivko was prompt courteous and very reasonably prized. I have used his services before, too, and always been happy with the results. I wholeheartedly recommend Payless Plumbing and Heating for any plumbing or heating problems. read more

Zivko did a super job. 100% recommend. We had a leak from the pipe to our outdoor spigot into our basement. Not a good thing to hear water rushing and not seeing it come out of the hose. Zivko called me back right away and came promptly, as promised. He had to do some investigating to figure out where the pipe was and finally came to the conclusion that he could not access the broken pipe and had to go around the pipe and install a new spigot. We scheduled an appointment the following week. He called us to tell us he was able to come back earlier to complete the job. Great work, great value, great person. read more

We called Zivko twice. He replaced our kitchen faucet and then we had a leaky pipe in the basement-both jobs were very well done. He went above and beyond, explained what needed to be done and answered all follow up questions I had. He was punctual, professional, efficient and pleasure to work with. I hope we will not need a plumber any time soon but if we do we will not think twice about who to call. Thanks again, Zivko for all your hard work! read more

I now know who I will call when I need a plumber! Zivko is terrific. He came out quickly, and on-time, when I needed my kitchen faucet either repaired or replaced (fortunately I went out before he came and bought a new one in case it was unrepairable--it was unrepairable). He knows his stuff, he's very personable. Explained everything he was doing. Showed me why the lines provided with the faucet would be too tight without short extension lines. Took care of that. When I asked him if he could take a look at another problem I had with a pipe that had a pinhole leak, he fixed that as well. His price was very reasonable compared to what I was quoted by others. By all means use Zivko--his Payless Plumbing is top flight! A heads up based on my experience. I sent Payless a message via Yelp. I assumed because Yelp asked for my email address that I would receive my response through my email. When I didn't get an email I thought he had ignored my message. But he had sent a response to me. It comes to you when you log into Yelp. So if you message someone via Yelp, look for the response on Yelp. I only found his response when I came here to leave this review. The fact that Zivko took the initiative to call me when I didn't respond to his answer to my Yelp message is a good indication of how customer focused he is. I highly recommend Payless Plumbing and Heating. read more

Awesome guy, extremely detailed, and very accommodating with his time to get my sink leak fixed properly.

Zivka is amazing! He responded quickly when our heat went out midday. It is true that email works best. He solved the problem with creative ideas and didn't overcharge. He is definitely our go to plumber! read more

I was extremely happy with the work, and he explained every issue with my HVAC very well. I'm more prepared to properly maintain and repair it myself now, and if there are any problems I can't handle I am certainly planning to call him back. read more

Zivko was great! He worked with our limited schedule and got the job done quickly and efficiently. He was very informative and let us know if our sink gave us additional problems that he would come back and fix it for no additional cost. read more

He did a great job and explained everything he was going to do. He was very thorough and quite reasonable.

Zivko is the best! My A/C went out while my husband was away on business and my two little boys were sweating it out in our home while is was 90 degrees outside plus humidity. I called every company in a panic and Payless is the only one that agreed to come out the next day. In a matter of hours Zivko had replaced a motor that had burnt out and had my A/C woking again. On top of it all, my A/C is made by a company that no longers exists, nor do their parts. He went to 3 shops to find a comparable part that would be compatible. I am so happy with his service. Additonally, we was very nice and charged a reasonable price. read more

Zivko was extremely helpful! My partner and I thought we were going to have to spend significant money to cut into concrete to repair a leaky pipe, but Zivko quickly identified the issue as one that required minimal effort to repair (a seal needing to be replaced). He could've easily taken advantage of our naivete but didn't. He also took some time after finishing the repair to help us anticipate our needs for a future remodel that will require some plumbing work. He was very friendly and outgoing and was very fast to respond to my initial request. Altogether it took less than 48 Hours from when I contacted him for him to get back to me, schedule the appointment and complete the requested service. I will definitely use Payless Plumbing again! read more

So I thought the plumber and his assistant were really nice but they were at my house for 50 minutes, replaced two 5 cent washers and a 10 dollar connector. They charged me 300. That is a ridiculous price and I will not be using these guys again !!! read more

Zivko truly is as good as it gets. He arrived on time, was professional, nice as can be, did great work, and the best part was the price. He charged me $110 for the same job another a-hole plumber wanted over $600 for. I'm not kidding. It actually sickens me that I even let that other plumber in my home. I will actually be calling Zivko again soon, because I need his helping fixing a problem he told me I could probably do my self for about $3. I was willing to pay $600 and he said I could do it myself for $3!! That really sums up Payless. read more

woke up with no heat on a cold Sat morning. Went to Yelp and called a few HVAC guys with top reviews. Payless plumbing and heating came first and fixed the problem within an hour. Zivko is honest & efficient. And his service charge is reasonable. He is also fun to talk to. Would highly recommend his service read more
