WARNING: Avoid Peter's Plumbing Inc. - Overpriced, Faulty Work, and Deceptive Practices If I could give zero stars, I would. I hired Peter's Plumbing Inc. in November 2023 to install a 40-gallon natural gas water heater at my home in Lake Worth, FL. The job cost me $2,500 for a basic Home Depot unit, and I later discovered that their work was not up to code, missing key safety components, and set up to fail. Major Problems with Their Work: Faulty installation - The system failed way earlier than expected because of their improper work. They lied about pulling permits - They claimed the job was permitted, but no permit was ever issued. They overcharge for poor service - $2,500 for a basic water heater install is outrageous. What Happened Next? By February 2025, my water heater was already failing. I called them back, expecting them to fix their mistakes. Instead, they replaced the wrong part and charged me another $500 for an unnecessary valve replacement--while ignoring the real issue they caused in the first place. When I confronted their manager, Angel, he stood by their terrible work and refused to acknowledge their mistakes. They take no responsibility for their actions. Final Verdict: DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Peter's Plumbing Inc. overcharges, performs subpar work, and preys on customers in need of urgent repairs. If you're considering hiring them, RUN in the opposite direction. I've attached photos of their work so you can see for yourself. Save yourself the stress and find a reputable plumber instead. read more

I hired Peter's Plumbing for what I thought would be a straightforward job, but it turned into an absolute nightmare. This company is the epitome of unprofessionalism. They promised to handle everything--fix the issue, clean up non of it was done. They couldn't even find the septic system. Communication? Nonexistent. I had to chase them down for updates, only to get vague excuses or flat-out silence. Worse, they lied about what they'd accomplished--claiming they'd found it and didn't. Rude doesn't even begin to cover it. Snarky, dismissive, and acted like I was the problem for expecting them to do their job. Then when they could perform the job that gave me a hard time about trying to get my 50% payment back. Save your money and your sanity--steer clear of this trainwreck of a company. They're unreliable, dishonest, and couldn't care less about their customers. One star is too generous. read more

Horrible service . All they care about is upscaling jobs to a higher price. And they left their equipment at my residence. Do not use them. read more

**ALERT***ALERT***ALERT** Avoid Peter's Plumbing / Five Star Plumbing & Septic -- Overpriced, Dishonest, Incompetent, and Unsafe. If you value your time, money, and sanity, DO NOT hire Peter's Plumbing / Five Star Plumbing & Septic. My experience with them was an absolute nightmare that dragged on for 7 months -- for a job that should have taken no more than 7-10 days. The issue began on July, 2024, with a main water line leak. I hired them based on false promises, and the project finally ended on February, 2025, after endless stress, city violations, delays, and repeated incompetence. Here are all the details you need to know: 1. Overpriced and Deceptive -- They quoted me a ridiculously high price and pretended to offer a "discount." Later, after speaking with other licensed plumbers, I realized I was still grossly overcharged. 2. Dishonest Behavior -- They initially promised to cut the street down the center for the water line installation, then without finalizing the contract, started cutting on the side of the street and then pressured me to sign the contract afterward. They do not honor their commitments. 3. Shady Business Practices - They issued an invoice under "Five Star Plumbing & Septic" while obtaining the city permit under "Peter's Plumbing," which raises serious concerns. Peter's plumbing has such bad reviews that apparently the owner started "Five Star Plumbing & Septic" in order to mislead potencial customers when in reality they are the same bad company. 4. Poor Workmanship & Multiple Failures - The first attempt to fix my water line failed due to bad workmanship. 5. Permit Violations --A city inspector issued a violation because they started to work without a required permit -- something that any competent, licensed company should never overlook. 6. Negligence and Danger --They left an open trench in the street. An elderly woman nearly fell into it. Despite my repeated calls, they ignored the situation until the city inspector forced them to act due to a violation. Even then, they used the wrong materials to cover the trench. 7. Permit Incompetence -- On August 2024, I was told that their permit application had been voided because they submitted it as a commercial permit instead of residential. This mistake caused weeks of additional delays. Even after resubmitting, they continued to send incorrect documentation. 8. Lack of Communication -- I was repeatedly put on hold for 20 minutes or more, only to be told that "the permit is still pending or any other lie just to get me out of the way" When I called from a different phone number, they answered immediately, proving they were intentionally avoiding my calls. 9. Ongoing Mistakes and Delays -- On September 2024, they scheduled the wrong type of inspection, further delaying progress. The city inspector confirmed that this was entirely their fault. 10. Missing Documents for Final Inspection -- On October 2024, the city postponed the final inspection because Peter's Plumbing failed to submit the required engineering documents. 11. No Responsibility from Management -- By December 2024, after months of delays, they admitted they couldn't find an engineer to sign off on the work because this report should have been submitted before covering the trench and not after. Their own employees asked me if I "knew an engineer" that could help in this process--The level of unethical behavior is shocking. 12. A 7-Month Nightmare -- After constantly following up with them and dealing directly with the city inspector myself, the final inspection was completed on February 2025 after having to cut some part of the trench to perform the required test, seven months after they started. The Bottom Line: Peter's Plumbing / Five Star Plumbing & Septic is dishonest, overpriced, incompetent, and reckless. They caused serious legal issues, safety hazards, and unnecessary endless delays. Save yourself time, money, and frustration. DO NOT hire Peter's Plumbing / Five Star Plumbing & Septic. Hire a real professional and make a good research of any company before signing contract. read more

I had Peters plumbing come out today to fix a sink in my kitchen. Angel and Andy were amazing and realized the sink faucet needed to be replaced. They went and got the new faucet and installed it same day. Everything is working perfectly. read more

Essentially, dishonest management that refuses to be proactive regarding mistakes they made which cost me $2000 and caused considerable damage to the condo below mine. They don't return calls or honor their commitments. I'm in touch with my attorney. Needless to say, never again. Jerry Pearl read more

Joseph was extremely competent, helpful, very dedicated to his work and pleasant to be around. I'll recommend him highly.

I wanted to share a recent experience I had with Peter Plumber to help you avoid similar issues. I called them to change a cartridge for my shower, and the technician quoted me $550, which is much higher than the market rate of $250. He explained the higher cost was due to their warranty, insurance, etc. After some negotiation, he lowered the price to $400 after speaking with his "manager." However, after the work was done, my shower was left dripping. The technician claimed it was a valve issue and said it would cost another $1200 to fix. Concerned, I called another plumber for a second opinion. The new plumber found that the cartridge wasn't installed properly by Peter Plumber's technician, causing the drip. After correctly installing the cartridge, the dripping stopped. I called Peter Plumber multiple times for a refund. Each time, I was told I'd get a call back, but this never happened. On my third call, the representative was very rude and refused to issue a refund, despite my explanation that the initial job was either poorly done or a deliberate upsell attempt. Additionally, I noticed on their Instagram that they prioritize upselling. They post about training their plumbers to make $1 million a year by earning $2739 a day, which suggests their focus is more on sales than good customer service. They also send teams of two people, which likely contributes to their high prices. Please be cautious if you consider using Peter Plumber. Get quotes from other companies and make sure you doble check if they try to upsell you. read more

Horrible and extremely over priced. They were supposed to run the pipes in the wall to the closet next to it and connect a tankless water heater. When I returned from having to go to work a few hours, the pipes were outside of the wall and around the a/c so I would never be able to move it, electrical exposed, no tie downs anywhere on the pipes, no shut-off which is normally installed on the cold line, and the young inexperienced plumber flooded my house twice by not sodering all the joints before turning the water on. Had to pay another plumber to redo the job after being qouted $500-$550 and being charged $770. In hindsight I should have refused to pay and requested a manger but live and learn. Don't make the same mistake I did by hiring them. read more

I hired Peter's plumbing on June 26th 2023 after I received a water bill from the city of Miami for $1,100. I knew I must have a water leak. They dug a large hole on the out side of my house where the shutoff valve is located. They didn't use leak detection equipment. so the next day they convinced me the leak was inside the house and of course the price of the work was going up to $7500. I had to give them half of the price, so they have $4275. of my money. They made four big holes in my Livingroom. started tearing up my drywall everywhere in my house. A total disaster. They didn't have any idea what they where doing. They shut off my water and I had to move out of my house. I fired them and hired another plumber. He couldn't believe the damage they had done. He had the right equipment and said the leak was outside not inside. He found the leak and repaired quickly. One month later I'm still repairing the damage these people did to my house. No response from them. Never hire this plumbing company!! read more

We called Peters Plumbing to diagnose a leak we had in our childrens closet. Luis Ortiz came out to perform the inspection. The results were that the leak was coming from our master bedroom toilet. We were willing to move forward with the job. Mr. Ortiz informed us to not use the master bathroom until after the repair was complete. We followed his instructions. Mr. Ortiz left the hose that connects to our toilet unhinged and water began to leak into our bedroom under our wood laminate. We called Peter's plumbing as soon as we noticed the leak. They sent a tech out he took care of the issue. Unfortunately all the water that inodoro desquiciada y el agua comenzó a filtrarse en nuestro dormitorio debajo de nuestro laminado de madera. Llamamos a Peter's Plumbing tan pronto como nos dimos cuenta de la fuga. Enviaron a un técnico que se encargó del problema. Desafortunadamente, toda el agua que salió de la manguera viajó a mi dormitorio bajo mi suelo laminado de madera. Pregunté cortésmente si podían enviar un equipo de Dry out para asegurarse de que mis pisos no se dañaran. El propietario Peter se negó a enviar a alguien y me pidió que revisara leaked out of the hose traveled into my bedroom under my wood laminate flooring. I asked politely if they could please send out a Dry out team in order to ensure that my floors would not get damaged. The owner Peter declined to send someone out and requested I go through my insurance. Mr. Ortiz apparently was dishonest about leaving the hose unhinged and did not take responsibility for his mistake. I called this company for one issue we had going on and they left us with no repair and another issue on top of our current situation we originally called them In for. I advise anyone even considering calling this company for a job to highly reconsider! They are dishonest, shady and immoral. Llamamos a Peters Plumbing para diagnosticar una fuga que teníamos en el armario de nuestros hijos. Luis Ortiz salió a realizar la inspección. Los resultados fueron que la fuga provenía del inodoro de nuestro dormitorio principal. Estábamos dispuestos a seguir adelante con el trabajo. El Sr. Ortiz nos informó que no utilizáramos el baño principal hasta después de que se completara la reparación. Seguimos sus instrucciones. El Sr. Ortiz dejó la manguera que se conecta a nuestro inodoro desquiciada y el agua comenzó a filtrarse en nuestro dormitorio debajo de nuestro laminado de madera. Llamamos a Peter's Plumbing tan pronto como nos dimos cuenta de la fuga. Enviaron a un técnico que se encargó del problema. Desafortunadamente, toda el agua que salió de la manguera viajó a mi dormitorio bajo mi suelo laminado de madera. Pregunté cortésmente si podían enviar un equipo de Dry out para asegurarse de que mis pisos no se dañaran. El propietario Peter se negó a enviar a alguien y me pidió que revisara mi seguro. El Sr. Ortiz aparentemente fue deshonesto a la hora de dejar la manguera desquiciada y no asumió la responsabilidad de su error. Llamé a esta empresa por un problema que teníamos y nos dejaron sin reparación y otro problema además de nuestra situación actual para la que originalmente los llamamos. ¡Aconsejo a cualquiera que esté considerando llamar a esta empresa para un trabajo que reconsidere en gran medida! Son deshonestos, sombríos e inmorales. read more

DO NOT CALL PETER'S PLUMBING- THEY ARE DISHONEST AND UNRELIABLE. My elderly parents contacted them to have a toilet fixed. First visit, they did not have the correct part but still "fixed" it. The problem was not solved. Second visit, the plumber showed up and got in an argument with the property manager. Third visit with a new promised plumber, no one showed up. I truly believe they prey on consumers, especially older ones. Stay away if you are looking to get your plumbing problems solved. read more

I contacted Peter's Plumbing to pull a simple permit on 2/20/23 and overpaid them in full on that day. It is now 3/28/23 and still no permit. I have been lied to on multiple occasions and have placed over 20 calls to them, just to get the runaround. The matter is unresolved as I write this review with little hope left that this issue gets resolved. Anyone reading this review, I highly recommend going elsewhere for any and all your plumbing needs. read more

They don't listen and plumbing knowledge seems limited. They did not know what to do with an S-style shower arm and flange purchased to lower the height for 5 foot me and my dual function hand held shower head. I asked them to remove a bidet that was only attached to hot water, not the toilet. A new bidet had been attached to a new toilet and worked with it. In other words the old bidet did not work with the new toilet. Alex removed and discarded both. I had to buy a new bidet to replace it. read more

I trusted them, big mistake. they took advantage of my unfortunate situation & just kept adding to the cost. first 2k, then 2k more, finally had to stop them when they wanted 12k more. we plan to fight them to get our money back. they could have resolved the issue at hand without charging so much. the actual plumber was a very nice guy, but the decision for all the extra stuff was coming from above. read more

I had to replace an undermount sink as part of a double vanity. Luis came out to install the sink and charged me $800. He cut himself removing the old sink. He was bleeding all over my house. He needed stitches but he insisted on crazy gluing his wound which didn't stop the bleeding. I saw the sink he brought was not correct, but he insisted on installing it. I let him install it just so I could get him out of my house. I had to clean up his blood after he left. I called the office. They wanted me to take out the good sink and replace it with the same model Luis installed. They insisted that my sink was too old and they couldn't find a match. I had to go and find the sink on Amazon myself. It took me 30 minutes to find it. Peter's plumbing still managed to order the wrong sink. It took them 3 months and multiple visits to get the right sink. The correct sink cost $75, Luis claimed $500 of the $800 I paid him was the cost of the sink. Peter's plumbing refuses to refund the difference or credit back anything. Their justification is that they had to come out multiple times like it was my fault. So in summary one of the worse experiences of my life. I ended up waiting for 3 months and paying $800 to install a $75 sink. Not to mention I had to get a service to clean up after Luis who left my floors and walls covered with his blood. Please do not use these guys. Your just asking for pain. Tuve que reemplazar un fregadero bajo encimera como parte de un tocador doble. Luis vino a instalar el fregadero y me cobró $ 800. Se cortó quitando el fregadero viejo. Estaba sangrando por toda mi casa. Necesitaba puntos, pero insistió en lo loco Pegando su herida que no dejo de sangrar. Vi que el fregadero que traía no era el correcto, pero insistió en instalarlo. Dejé que lo instalara solo para poder sacarlo de mi casa. Tuve que limpiar su sangre después de que se fue. Llamé a la oficina. Querían que sacara el fregadero bueno y lo reemplazara con el mismo modelo que instaló Luis. Insistieron en que mi fregadero era demasiado viejo y no podían encontrar una coincidencia. Tuve que ir a buscar el fregadero en Amazon mismo Me tomó 30 minutos encontrarlo. El equipo de plomería de Peter aún logró ordenar el fregadero equivocado. Les tomó 3 meses y varias visitas obtener el fregadero correcto. El fregadero correcto costó $75, Luis afirmó que $500 de los $800 que le pagué eran el costo del fregadero. El equipo de plomería de Peter se niega a reembolsar la diferencia o acreditar cualquier cosa Su justificación es que tuvieron que salir varias veces como si fuera mi culpa. En resumen, una de las peores experiencias de mi vida. Terminé esperando 3 meses y pagando $ 800 para instalar un fregadero de $ 75. Sin mencionar que tuve que contratar un servicio para limpiar después de Luis, que dejó mis pisos y paredes cubiertos con su sangre. Por favor, no uses a estos tipos. Solo estás pidiendo dolor. read more

We had a $10k repiping job done on our new home and Luis and his team made a complete mess of the propery. Spared no drywall for repair and patchwork (see photos) and used esentially a table knife to cut into the walls. They did no clean up as well. Luis talks a big game over the phone but when we had a leak a week later from the already repaired drywall he dodged our calls. On top of that they were supposed to repair a broken spigot at the house and said they would come back to repair. After calling them they just ignore the phone calls. Go with another company that will actually take care of their customers especially for such a large job. read more

They did alot of work for us at a Multi-Family Apartment Complex because we weren't licensed to do gas work. They came into the laundry room with saws and cut the pipe and caused a flood - 1 1/2 inches of standing water and then refused to clean it up or acknowledge that they caused it. They even charged me extra to do the work once they evaluated and I accepted the extra charges. They are not easy to reach once you have paid in full and they still haven't completely finished the work, expect to have to call several times to get them back out. read more

I am shocked that this company is licensed to do business in Florida. I hired the company to replace the main water shut off valve to my condo unit. They have now come out 3 times to do this work and have been unsuccessful. On all 3 occasions we have had to shut the water off to an entire 48 unit building and they showed up over an hour late and unprepared on all three occasions. As of their last attempt yesterday afternoon I am in worse shape than when they started, I have no water to my unit, damage to the water heater ground line and have not received a call from the owner even after asking repeatedly to speak to him. Completely unacceptable. read more

Hired Robert to fully renovate 2.5 bathrooms. Showed pics. Said I wanted glass doors and all. He said "yea, yea, yea..I can pick any fixture I like, etc." And was given an eta of 7-10 days. Well 6wks has just passed. Today is Saturday, he was suppose to come to finish at least 1 bthrm. U can see my texts in the pics. We have 5 people in my house using 1 bthrm which hasn't even been started yet. I've had a few conversations with Robert and have basically gotten the shrug shoulders "I don't know what to tell ya." I called the company, was told Peter will speak to Robert or call me back.... I'm still waiting. read more

It felt more like dealing with pushy salesmen than professional plumbers. The technician spent more time trying to upsell me expensive services and parts I didn't need, rather than focusing on the actual plumbing issue. It was clear their main goal was to maximize their profit, not to provide a solution to my problem. I ended up paying way more than necessary, and the problem wasn't even properly fixed. Completely unethical and disappointing experience. read more

Cannot thank these guys enough for all of the work they have done for me. Luis Arias, is the man and extremely helpful, I've been battling with permits and he helped get me into contact with the right people to help close out issues, even those outside of the scope of plumbing.

I called them for service and the girl who answered send 2 guys the same day but they had the Peter's plumbing shirts on with a truck from a rental company the tag # 23B VTU expired 6/25. The guys went in and I explained to them what the problem was" my shower drain is not draining properly ". They look and asked for $275.00 and I told them no. One of them asked me how much do I want to pay and I said $150 if you can fix it. He call the lady and she said yes. After 30 minutes, one of the guy told me that I had a bigger problem and that's going to cost me $750. I replied " you told me $150 and you were going to fix it and now you want $750?". He said take it or leave it and I said no. Now he said I had to give him $150 and said I'm not paying you for wasting my time. He called this guy name Darren, the area supervisor he said, and he said he was coming. This guy called them back and asked to speak to me and I said ok. He started to tell me that I was to cheap that's why I didn't want to pay them and he was going to sue me. He came to my house and I told him I was not paying him a penny but he started to brag how he was going to fire those 2 guys and I felt sorry for them and I gave the $150 just to save their job and I also gave them $20 each because I felt sorry for them at that time. The reason he gave for letting them go was because they were supposed to have me sign the invoice before and collect half of the $150. To finish the story, I had a company completed the work for $160 plus $20 tips because I always tips. I called in 3 occasions and asked to speak to Ariel R. , the owner, but the same lady is giving me the runaround. I'm going to the court house on Monday for small claim court procedure to retrieve my money plus court cost and suffering and put them out of business for good.

I did receive a call this afternoon from someone from peters plumbing . I was at work and did not have time to have personal calls and be discussing an issue that occurred months ago. I am a professional ...something that this business knows nothing about . If this business truly wanted to refund me the $$,.....guess what they would have already . They have all my information and all my cc information considering they were the ones who tried to tell the bank that they weren't negligent. I have all the correspondence as proof. It seems like another attempt at offering promises that they are never going to follow through on. Did they think I was going to trust that they would do what this gentleman was promising??? In this day and age ...refunds can happen instantaneously. But this has been months and months ! read more

I called this company for a quote. I received a documented quote. When I called to complete the service they advised it was 200.00 more for the quoted price. Once I was ready to get the process started with the corrected amount I asked for them to sign a permit needed from my city. The cost for them to release documents and sign the permit, I would take the permit to the city. Their cost alone for me to do all the work $350.00.

The young men who came to do major work in our master bathroom were extremely competent and courteous. Jesus and his assistant, Michael, were impressive.
