Recommended Customer Reviews

Large amount of water was dripping from a shower in our rental condo which has 2 little children. My husband tried to fix it; but ended up shutting the water off completely for the night. It was urgent to find a plumber right away. We called Bob early in a morning. Even though Bob was busy, he rearrange his jobs, came to the condo & fixed the problem within 30 minutes. We should have called him from the beginning. Call Bob if you need a honest & reasonable professional!

I was hesitant on calling a plumber. I knew that my sink disposal was broken and I was thinking my entire kitchen faucet had to be replaced. I saw all of Bobs great reviews and thought hey why not give him a try. He showed up 1 hr after I called him and he fixed and replaced the disposal in less than 30 minutes. His price is reasonable and he is very professional. Thanks Bob!

Okay, my husband found Bob on Yelp and he saw all the reviews. So, He set up an appt for Bob the Plummer to come and fix some items (possible gas leak (yes), change out cartridge for our sink, shower might be leaking) in our home. He called and stated he was at my home. I was not. He was actually early, which was unexpected for me. as I usually wait for people. Anyways, Bob and his wife came in and I explained what needed to be done. Also, asked to check on the valve of the toilet. He went straight to work. Bob was done in an hour. Very courteous, knowledgable, reasonably priced, just fantastic. Wouldn't hesitate to call Bob again. Will be calling Bob for my In-Laws plumbing issues. Thank you again!

I called Bob today prior to 8:00 am about a plugged main drain. He scheduled me as soon as he could for that day. He then called me a half-hour earlier than scheduled and showed up early. He went right to work and had the drain unplugged in no time at all, and the charges were very reasonable. I am highly recommending him and will be happy to call him again if and when another problem happens.

I found Bob through internet searches and found him here on Yelp, which I had never used before. His perfect five star rating with over 20 reviews was enough for me. I contacted him and was not disappointed. He replaced a kitchen faucet and garbage disposal, wired a drain pipe that was being held up by wood blocks, and even had to go into the wall to do some copper soldering due to very old, corroded shut off valves. Everything came to just over $300, and that is including a kitchen faucet that he had on his truck that I liked better than the one I had bought. He is personable and freely answers questions. I will without a doubt call him for any plumbing needs in the future.

I found Bob through Yelp and am glad I did - he is reliable, does what he says he will do and professional about it. Thanks!

I am not sure I should post this. When the word gets out what a great plummer Bob is he will be too busy for me to hire him when I need him again. I can't say enough good things about him. Hundreds cheaper than other plummers. Arrived on time after calling to confirm he was on schedule. Fast fixed right and did I say fairly priced?

Have you found it difficult to find honest, competent, and reliable people who provide trade services (i.e., plumbers, electricians)? yelp! is changing that, as I confirmed yesterday. Bob the Plumber installed a dishwasher in our home. His estimate was reasonable and matched the bill. He showed respect for the customer's time by calling before coming over for our appointment, and offered to arrive early. The work was done carefully and skillfully. He made no mess nor left one. He's a pleasant professional. I told him that his many high reviews on yelp! was the reason for calling him. He told me that getting them ""was easy. All I have to do is a good job."" Yes, sir. And he does. He'll hear from us again when we need plumbing services. Give him a call: You won't be disappointed.

Bob's glowing reviews are well deserved. I called him at 6am expecting to leave a msg and he picked up the phone. We had a running leak in our bathtub faucet and he said he could arrive that same afternoon. I had an emergency at my DR's appt (8 mths pregnant) and had to reschedule. He kindly made himself available the next morning & fixed the problem w/ his daughter who assisted him during her spring break. They were in & out in 30 minutes, had all the parts available and gave me a very fair price. Nice, professional guy. Would definitely hire him again.

I just called Bob the Plumber and got off the phone with him. I had just had a washer delivered from Home Depot and the guy said he couldn't install it because I needed to have my valves replaced, by a Plumber, because the hot water was corroded. So he said if that's what it looks like on the outside, then the inside is the same.
So that's where Bob comes in. He pretty much predicted what the delivery guys said and said that he gets a lot of business cuz Home Depot, Lowes and Sears have one excuse or another not to install it. I guess that's good for him. Bob said if he replaces the valves he has to cut open the wall and replace the plumbing just because the pipes are probably plastic. I have no idea what they are. So he first suggested i try to get the hoses off myself without replacing the valves. he suggested a product so I'm going to go give it a shot. He said if that didn't work or if I had problems to call him back.
He was very nice and helpful and I do prefer trying something else before having to make a hole in the wall.
Lets keep our fingers crossed. I suggest you call Bob for your needs cuz he seems helpful and nice and all the reviews had nice things to say!!!!
