Argent Plumbing & Heating

Lisa K.

My mother in law had a backed up washing machine drain line and a slow draining kitchen sink and master shower. She called me and told me a plumbing company wanted $25.500 to repair it all. Having used Argent plumbing before to install a new water heater I wanted his opinion. After a through examination of the drains in question Shawn repaired it all for $450 now the drains all work great.....

Argent plumbing recently came to our home for emergency service. Our furnace would not turn off and our old pipes were rotted and leaking. They clearly outlined several options at different price points so we could decide if we wanted to just replace the broken parts or the whole system. Given the age of the system we opted for full replacement. The team Argent sent Brian, Kurt and Dillon were hear for about 12 hours getting everything done. They were very respectful regarding Caronavirus concerns, wore masks and gloves, and stayed out of the main house as much as possible. There were a few minor follow ups that were handled very promptly as well.

Here's my advice - STAY AWAY from Argent. I called them for the 1st time (and now last) to repair 3 things. The 1st was to replace a washer in my bathroom sink. The guy said it was the stem, not a washer. He said my model didn't come with a washer. $145. I said OK. He took the stem out. A washer was attached. He said it couldn't be removed. He put in a new stem. It didn't fit. He then took the washer off the new stem, took the old washer off my old stem and put the washer from the new stem on the old stem. That fixed it. So, it really was a simple washer replacement which he claimed couldn't be done. He was either incompetent or trying to rip me off. He insisted on charging me $145. For a washer replacement?? I called his boss who took 2 days to return my call. He was rude from the start and offered to give me back $45. So, a $100 for a washer replacement?

These guys are a fortune, it's impossible to get an appointment and unless it's a really simple job you'll hear 5 different causes of the problem from 5 different people. Stay away.

Called to check a slow laundry drain and leaky laundry valve. Service guy very nice and prompt. He explained the slowness was due to the configuration of the pipes below the sink; when I told him his company installed it that way he dropped the conversation. He told me to change the valve would be $400, I thought that was really expensive since it has screws - for easy removal. After he left I was curious about this small valve and googled it. I was furious when I saw it was $59!!!!!!! I don't mind paying retail and for his labor, but this is so excessive when it only took 2 minutes. I even called other plumbers to make sure; they said it would be around $275, big difference! I will not be using Argent again! If you do use them, google the part first and get other estimates.

I called 3 plumbers when my external pipes froze earlier this week. We had no water in my house and the heat was dropping rapidly during sub-zero temperatures. I called emergency plumbing services on a Sunday, and Fred from Argent was the first to call back, and although he was already on a job at a home suffering from burst pipes!!! and couldn't get to me right away, he talked me me through the process of rigging a homemade system to fill water into my boiler enough to keep the furnace going so that my home and internal pipes wouldn't freeze. I can't THANK ARGENT and FRED enough!!!

In my opinion, extremely expensive. To the point that I felt uncomfortable with the plumber in my house. Argent has the highest price for an estimate of any plumber that I found in the area. I had a leaky faucet and although I know how to fix it myself, I do not have the time. Since they were the first name to come up in my search due to the business name starting with an A, I went with them. The plumber quoted me $400 to replace a valve and $200 to fix the faucet. He stated that he thought it would take him 45 minutes. I promptly escorted him out of my house and called someone else who did the entire job for $250. Please be careful. I worry about people who don't know that they are being ripped off and may pay these outrageous prices

Pros: Extremely prompt

Cons:

We've had three people from Argent out to our home in the last three months. Each one has a different diagnosis of the situation with our boiler.

My fiance was not home during the last visit and I feel like I was completely taken advantage of. I was charged an absurd amount of money for the guy to leave and tell me it was best to just leave the unit off and to replace it which was going to cost $12-$15K.

We had PSE&G come out several days later and the guy fixed the problem for us in less than 15 minutes and the boiler has worked fine ever since.

I would take your business elsewhere.

Charged me $105 ($99 plus tax) just to show up. I knew what was wrong and i knew how expensive it would be to fix it and i was expecting to pay considerably more for the speed and convenience of their service. Parts would be about $40 and i expected to pay an additional $200 for what i figured would take them an hour and i was ok with that. However, the employee looked at the problem for 10 seconds and gave me an estimate of over $400. I asked him how long it would take and he told me about 45 minutes.

They should be embarrassed. I cannot believe this company would attempt to take advantage like this. I only feel sorry for the less knowledgeable people like the elderly who they prey on and actually get money from.

Disgraceful.

I own a restaurant in Summit and as it grows our plumbing needs become more complicated. We were experiencing some plumbing issues that were quite a nuisance and I didn't think we would ever get a good explanation and/or resolve the problem. And then along came Nick from Argent, who upon looking at the situation knew EXACTLY what to do to fix it. And he came THE NEXT DAY and the problem was resolved!! Probably like most of you, I know very little about plumbing, so it is important to be able to trust the professional you hire to do the job right. I have 100% confidence in Nick's knowledge and abilities...I will use Argent going forward for all of my plumbing needs, both at my restaurant and at my home. Thanks Argent!!
