I had what I consider a small job: replace two non-working shut-off valves from my kitchen water…read moreline, and one for the toilet water line. I must have called eight different plumbers or companies. Three would not provide free quotes or estimates, and they would have charged outrageous service call fees that one has to pay regardless of whether one accepts their quotes. Three companies offered free estimates and quotes. One quote was so ridiculously high, and when I questioned the price they described that the price included "Isolating water supply to unit by means of water main; relieving the pressure...." and the list went on and on, including a ridiculous list of normal steps for any plumbing job, including checking for proper functioning and leaks, as if these were the reason for the high costs listed on their estimates. It was a bit insulting. Petros was the last person I called, and he was refreshing. He asked for pictures of the valves in question, and before he gave me any quotes over the phone, he explained the options for repair and recommendations. He described the cost of the different types of valves (spoiler alert---they are not that expensive)--and explained his fee. No, he was not cheap, but I so appreciated the no-nonsense explanations and upfront pricing. I knew what the job was going to cost me, and exactly how much of the cost was going to materials vs. labor. Old fashion-business model and transparency that I appreciate. When he came to the house, he was friendly, efficient and professional; he explained and showed me what he did and what was wrong with the valves that were broken; and left the premises clean when he was done. He is a two-man company/team, so I cannot attest to how it would work calling him for larger jobs or emergency jobs, but I will definitely use his services again in the future.

He graciously accepted our apology and fit us into his schedule very quickly. He and his crew did a great job installing everything, and went above and beyond to make sure it was done right. Thanks again Renato!

Sure, I could have called him and rescheduled ....yet again .....but it was easier to find another more reliable plumber.

We're a small collective that shares stories from freelance and contract workers who've been…read moretreated unfairly. This is one of those stories. A contractor was hired by this company to build a fully functional website on a rushed timeline. They were told they were the only person working on the project, and that the urgency was due to the company's former developer being in a legal dispute and planning to take down the live site by June 1st, 2025. The contractor dropped everything to help and finished the site two weeks before the deadline. Over the course of several weeks, the contractor even went to their office multiple times for meetings with the owner's son and other team members, working in good faith to move the project forward.After the work was done, it came to light that two or three other people were also working on the same site, despite the company claiming otherwise from the start. When the contractor followed up for payment, the owner's son who was the main point of contact allegedly said "My boy could do it for less than $1,000, so our initial agreement on price is gonna be a lot less now." He also added he was going on vacation in 15 days and "didn't have time to deal with it." All this while wearing an expensive Rolex. The contractor was told, "Send me the invoice I'll pay you for your time." The invoice was sent immediately, and the son followed up once more saying, "I'll get back to you." After that, he went completely silent no reply, no payment. The contractor was left dismissed and disrespected. The stress and anxiety from this on top of an existing heart condition led to serious mental and physical strain. Legal steps have since been taken. This post is meant to warn others if you're a freelancer, contractor, or subcontractor, be cautious. Get everything in writing, and don't ignore red flags. No one should be pressured, misled, ghosted, or lowballed after showing up, putting in the time, and delivering their end of the deal.

He also took the time to walk me through what might have been causing the issue, how to help prevent it going forward, and how to spot signs that it could be a larger building-related problem, which was especially helpful since I live in a condominium. Out of all the plumbers I looked into, John's Sewer & Drain Cleaning had the best pricing, and they absolutely backed it up with outstanding service. I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with plumbing issues.

I reached out via yelp messenger and got a response within the hour and they dispatched at technician over within 2 hours. The technician arrived Joey, and was professional and courteous. He identified the blockage and setup some tarps around the sink area to minimize dirt. He snaked the drain very thoroughly and resolved the blockage. Joey was chill whole time, explained some of the possible root causes behind blockage and preventative measures. The flat fee was way cheaper than the ridiculous profit charged by roto rooter last time. Will definitely use john sewes for future plumbing work.

Our hot water heater starting leaking, and I called Big Blue Plumbing and Heating to have it…read morereplaced. Although the situation was not really an emergency (a failed heating system would be more of a concern considering the cold spell we were experiencing), Stacey at Big Blue, treated it that way, and made this job a priority. She was empathetic to my needs, and did her best to accommodate me. Randy came by the next day, removed the old heater and installed a new one. He was knowledgeable, polite, and respectful of me and my wife, and our property. He answered all our questions, and explained things to me in detail. Also, the cost to replace the hot water heater was quite reasonable. I would not hesitate to hire Big Blue Plumbing and Heating for future jobs. Thank you!

I've contacted this company a couple of times so far. They typically respond quickly and…read moreprofessionally. They were patient and listened to all my concerns as I had many things that needed to be done in my house. They were prompt in returning with quotes for the work. They were a tad higher in price than some others, but I enjoyed working with them as they are fast to respond and explained everything to me in detail and provided detailed itemized quotes. My intuition paid off and they delivered very high quality work. I'm looking to have more work done soon and am very likely to book their services a second time. The one small downside was that I recalled they don't do some types of work that I have needed done, so have to find others to bridge the gaps. The work they did for me last year was replacing a bunch of shutoff valves for indoor and outdoor fixtures including spigots and my shower fixtures.
