I called Kevin because our laundry room sink was terribly clogged. To my surprise, Kevin had a sudden opening and he came right out within 15 minutes! They got the pipes cleared out quickly and thoroughly, and charged a very low price. We have had a plumber for years but over time the company has become unreliable. We are very happy to have found ourselves a new plumber! Now for the best part: my wife is transgender and if I'm not home, home service can be frightening and fraught. You never know what someone will do when confronted with a trans person. Kevin and crew were respectful and kind, didn't try to price gouge, and were friendly! I just can't say enough good about Kevin and VinKo plumbing. read more

Yes, he did amazing work. I would hire him back anytime. Prices are reasonable and he did not play around. He just did the job and left.

Kevin came out and got the job done, no questions asked other than my address. He accepted the task in a timely manner. Many others wanted to charge me just to get out to my house to "see" what was clearly shown in the photos when I made the request. He didn't try to to upsell anything, and the initial price based off my photos was fair. He even went out of his way to source other parts needed being that it turned out to be a slightly more complicated job than we anticipated. For that, he gets my respect and my future business. Again, thanks a ton. read more

Quick service requested and received. Super customer service, quality and excellent response time. We had our garage disposal die on us which meant our dish washer and sink were both out of commission late on a Thursday night. Kevin was the first to reply on Yelp and made a plan for next evening with some heads up about possible replacement cost. Even though we had to reschedule for Saturday morning he came prepared for all scenarios even replacing our ancient dish disposal and completed it in record time. We will be keeping Kevin and Vinko plumbing in our phones for the next time we have a plumbing need! Thanks Kevin! read more

Kevin was great to work with. Got back to me very quickly when I reached out, provided all of the info I needed, and scheduled time to repair the hot water heater within 48 hrs. I highly recommend his work! He had an assistant with him that was great as well. I don't recall his name, but want to be sure to thank him too. A+ service ! read more

Used Yelp to find a plumber and I'm glad I gave this company a chance although the ratings were low. Kevin responded quickly and came out within a day- which was much needed. Very responsive and quoted me a great price. Kevin was the worker who came out and he was friendly and explained exactly what needed to be replaced and showed me the finished product after. I would recommend this business and would be using them again. read more

I called many plumbers in Philly, all well reviewed on Yelp, and Kevin was the first to pick up. I called Kevin because of the stellar reviews, too, and I'm also leaving one. Even if we only had a small job, Kevin came out the next day and took care of it. It was just washer hose replacement, but we wanted to make sure it was done professionally, after all. The water was leaking into another unit below and it could've potentially created a lot of water damage. I really appreciate how responsive he is and that he came out right away. He even sent me a picture of the completed work. That's proof and peace of mind. We have a condo in Old City and we are all the way in California. Our tenant is pleased with the work and I'm just happy it's done. It's hard to find good plumbers anywhere. They're either too busy, won't reply asap and put you on the back burner for small work. Not Kevin. He personally answered the phone and it didn't even go to voicemail. Thank you, Kevin! read more

It's never good when you have a plumbing issue at 4pm on a Thursday. After calling a ton of folks and not hearing back from anyone and searching "emergency plumbing Philly" I stumbled upon Vinko plumbing and now have a new plumber in Kevin! He was very responsive, did the work thoroughly, walked me through what was wrong, what he could fix now, and what we should do later, and was an all around nice guy. Highly recommend him for your plumbing needs! read more

Vinko Plumbing - Water Heater Installation/Repair Near Me

See all

Our hot water heater busted late in the afternoon, so by the time I started asking around for quotes, it was after business hours. Kevin responded quickly (within an hour-ish?), gave me a quote right away, and answered all my questions. (and I had a lot of questions!) His quote was very reasonable---and, it stayed consistent. The price he quoted was the price I paid. When I asked him to check on a warranty thing, he said he'd call the supplier in the morning, which he did. This might seem like a small thing, but he was the only one who responded to my late night message with, "I'll verify this," instead of trying to hurry me into a decision. This next part seems pretty basic? But I promise it's not. *He actually answered messages consistently, and showed up when he said he would.* OK?? He did a professional, quick installation, and again, answered all my questions when I had them. I hope we never have water heater or plumbing issues again... but if/when we do, we will call him. read more

I had an issue that involved my gas being shut off. Kevin promptly answered and came out within a couple of hours. He quickly replaced the pipes and followed up the next day with me regarding getting my gas turned back on. Nice guy, and I would recommend him to others! read more

Kevin was fantastic -- he fixed a couple sinks that had been perennial problems in our home. Don't know why we waited to fix these, but he came by, inspected them, helped us pick a replacement, and got everything installed really fast. Super nice, very communicative -- we'll definitely use his service again (and sooner this time!) read more

I received such such great customer service from Kevin! We had a surprise water heater break and Kevin was sooooo responsive on a Sunday afternoon of all times!! He was never pushy and provided a number of options to accommodate us, either for an immediate install or to wait the next day to have the same tank brand we currently had installed, as was our preference. He was extremely patient, answered my 800 questions thoroughly, and provided an extremely fair price quote. Even when a situation totally out of his control made it so that we had to make an alternate last minute decision, he again was very understanding and was never pushy. Though we didn't work direcltly with him on this specific job I will DEFINITELY be reaching out for future work - his customer service speaks volumes and there are a ton of other customers that have had positive experiences with his expertise. I am always nervous reaching out to contractors as it can be intimidating when you are not tech-savvy yourself -but Kevin has changed my tune! read more

Had such a great experience with Kevin and Vinko Plumbing. Had a leak in the line that supplies water to my fridge, causing flooding and obvious anxiety! I called Kevin and he was very quick to respond. Even offering same day appointment. I have had nightmare experiences with plumbers in the past, so Vinko was a breath of fresh air. He showed up in time and fixed the problem with ease. He explained everything to me and helped me understand how to avoid this from happening in the future. I absolutely recommend and will be using again! read more

Unfortunately, we were unable to use Kevin's plumbing services for a kitchen renovation job. However, based on his visit and estimate, I can say that Kevin's conduct was as professional as can be, and he appeared highly knowledgeable and reliable. He should be high on your list of professionals to consult in the Philadelphia area. Eli. read more

I'm absolutely thrilled with the service that I received from Vinko plumbing! They were on time, courteous and did a fantastic job. I had purchased the wrong faucet and Kevin Vinko went so far as to go with me to return the one I purchased and help me select a new one (in the correct size and style). All this at an extremely reasonable price. I highly recommend Vinko plumbing!!!! read more

I had a little emergency on a Saturday late afternoon-broken pipe below my kitchen sink. Kevin was not only the only plumber that called me back, but worked with me for a time to get me repaired and our kitchen sink working again the SAME DAY. He responsive, professional, cared for my house like it was his own and and actually followed up the next day with a call to see if everything was still tip top. Will definitely use Vinko again and would recommend to everyone. read more

Our kitchen sink was slow to drain for months and the last few weeks, water would back flow out of it. Had a couple of people come out and try to fix with no luck. I found Vinko on Yelp and saw their good reviews so we gave them a call. They came out the next morning! Long story short, Kevin and Eric were able to figure out the issue and fix it. I highly recommend Vinko. They were super nice, prompt and courteous. read more

We just moved into a new house and got in touch with Kevin when our water usage was significantly higher than it should be. He fixed a major leak from the upstairs shower, and then surveyed the remainder of the house for potential sources of excess water use. Since he left, our water usage has returned to a reasonable level. Kevin was friendly, professional, on time and efficient. Would highly recommend! read more

Kevin came out the same day for a difficult water heater project and was able to make it work. Appreciate all the help! I would definitely recommend him to others and will be using him for future jobs. read more

I had a few leaky pipes in my basement which resulted in flooding as well as a clogged toilet. I called Kevin at 9am on Monday morning and by 2pm he was at my house checking out the basement for me. What I thought was a leaking pipe in my basement turned out to be a whole other issue that Kevin was able to take care of for me. After a quick inspection and an estimate, Kevin was at my house bright and early on Wednesday morning. His prices were reasonable, he was prompt, quick and quiet. Now thanks to Kevin there is no more leaking in my basement and my toilet is fixed. I am 100% satisfied and will recommend Kevin and Vinko plumbing for any plumbing or heating services in the future! read more

Vinko came out quick. The job was on our old house with a copper drain that leaked at the I bend. Quickly shored it up and now we can use our bathroom again. The price was also very reasonable. No unnecessary upsells. Very appreciative of the work they did. read more

We were looking for help with our clogged kitchen sink, had tried everything on our end and needed a professional! Kevin communicated with us in a timely, organized way, showed up on time, and stayed until the problem was totally fixed. He needed various extra tools and parts as the problem was bigger than expected, but worked through it until he knew it was right. Waited extra 10 minutes just running the kitchen sink to be sure all was fixed, and checked in with us a couple days later. He was professional, courteous, and thorough! Pricing was fair. Would highly recommend. read more

Never got the courtesy of a response. Not quite getting why Yelp recommended them if that's how they behave. Best to move on from plumbers like this one. read more
