AG Plumbing and Gas

Miao Y.

Here is Beechwood Blvd. AG plumbing took me a $2000 check and later told me the cost is $650.

When will you return the rest $1350 to me? It takes more than one month and I've contacted you many times. Your responses do not provide much progress: I wait for 4 weeks on office calculation and one week on mailing the check. We are just two or three miles away and now the mail takes one week???

Update 12/20/2021: Filed a BBB complaint with a bunch of evidence on 12/13/2021. AG plumbing remains muted.

Unfortunate timing with a Fri. evening sewer backup in our basement meant calling an emergency Plumber after normal hours. We had the same issue two weeks earlier and used a Plumber provided by our Home Warranty Program. From the first initial call, all the way to Barak showing up within 30 minutes of the call, our experience with AG Plumbing was excellent. Problem solved and at a very fair price. Barak went beyond what the previous Plumber did to find the source of our problem and was very clear explaining every step of his process. We would highly suggest AG to anyone with plumbing needs.

Golan Barak did some plumbing work in my basement bathroom. We went over the job, he completely ignored all the work I need. When he went to start on it, he tried to get out of half the things we agreed to and charge me the same price!!! The work that he did was terrible, the toilet flange was too low and tilted! The pipe leaked and floor I was going to lay tile on still had gravel exposed, when the rest of the floor was a smooth concrete finish. When I bought these issue up, he started yelling and swearing at me!!! Then forced entry into my home and assaulted my husband and I !!!

At first it went very well. The owner was very responsive, personable, and punctual. He signed a simple written contract with me. He came extremely early despite how last minute I had scheduled with him. He initially asked to be paid up front. That should have been my first warning. All contractors and plumbers that i have worked with asked to be paid when the job is done. However, I proceeded with him. He came and did some work and left. I thought the leak was solved but the leak continued about a week later, that was when things started to go downhill.

He initially was reasonable and was willing to fix the problem if it was due to his negligence or negotiate a price if it was just simply a matter of needing to do more work. He showed up pretty quickly at first, but he did no real work and no lasting progress was made, he began to not respond to my calls and texts. When he did, he would agree to send someone over again. Yet, this person time after time would not show up and not even let me know. I would have to call him.

He finally got so bad at getting back to me that I began to use his employee as my main contact for discussing and scheduling business. However, even though his employee would at least speak to me, he continued the process of not showing up.

I finally gave up on him and his employee and hired a plumber recommended by a good friend. This plumber discovered that Barak had done the job poorly and that this had caused a new leak. The new leak combined with the original one increased the water damage to ceiling causing that panel to completely collapse.

Needless to say, I simply asked my money -$450- back after rationally and calmly describing the details and expressing my frustrations over all. I received only one response from the owner Barak: a text with only a ""?"". His employee was much more understanding and professional but as the employee there wasn't too much he could do.

So, now I find myself going to see the magistrate this December to get my money back.

I have learned my lesson the hard and painful way. Do not hire someone like Barak that is all talk and no action. I would pay $300 more than I did in a heartbeat if it meant avoiding all of the stress and drama of failed promises, property damage, and trying to get my money back. I will only hire people in the future who are backed by solid facts and the experiences of people I trust.

Exceptionally prompt, highly skilled, works clean and fast, and (bonus!) very personable. I had a toilet emergency on a Saturday and he was actually here just 20 minutes after confirming my address and cell number. Price for service was more than fair.

Is this fellow even in business? I called the number listed here in Yelp last Thursday. It's a cell phone - the man answered and it was agreed that he'd come at noon to check out my problem. [I'm now in Florida but my neighbor in Pittsburgh was helping me by letting the plumber in.] He didn't show. He then called and said he'd be there around 3:30. He didn't show. I called again and he said he was on his way and would be there at 6:00 p.m. He came, didn't go into the crawl space. Said he'd be back ""tomorrow, but not in the morning."" I tried calling and his cell phone message said ""don't leave a message. call 412-251-0301 between 8 and 5."" So I did. And I got another recording saying there were 2 businesses - neither of which was Barak Plumbing - so I hung up and tried again (I thought I had a wrong number). Nope! So I got a woman on the line and she said that she'd text him. No response. I called again several hours later and she said she'd text him again. No response. Nothing! He hasn't shown up or returned a phone call. I tried one last time this morning. The lady said she'd text him again. No response! What a disappointment!

DON'T CALL THIS FELLOW IF YOU REALLY NEED A PLUMBER!

These guys are amazing!

I had 2 pipes burst overnight and woke up to 3"" of water in the basement. Sharon (Israeli men's name, not American women's name) came out on a Sunday and fixed the pipes, even thought the water was causing him to get mild shocks (it's an old house, so the electrical leaves some things to be desired) whenever he touched certain areas.

Even though the work took almost 4 hours, he charged me only for just over 2. I paid by check and got a receipt, no problem! I was happy.

I needed my water heater temporarily moved. Barak came over to take a look and offer a free estimate. They provided a great quote for the small job and came over the morning I needed the water heater moved.

I would say their customer service on the phone is lacking. I always had to get a call back to get any useful information. Also, I had to pay my bill using PayPal. It all worked out but a little phone etiquette never hurt. For the price, I guess I can't complain.
