Charlie Swain Plumbing

Called to have multiple repairs made starting with water heater. Plumber (Jeff) said water heater was only part of multiple problems caused by age and wear, got heater lit and scheduled repairs for a week later. The next week, Jeff spent 7 hours getting everything repaired-new water heater, two faucets replaced, main shut off valve and two undersink shut off valve sets replaced. Lots of work done, lots of equipment fixed. Well done, definitely recommending.

Very unprofessional company. A completely rip off. I'm 100% agreed with other reviews. Everyone in the company wants only money, lazy people and basic charge is $80 to $150 just for a consultation not for fixing anything BEWARE!!! Receptionist is very rude. I did have a simple water heater problem. The top cable was loose. The plumber came for 5 min (I'm not lying) he didn't check too much so he couldn't find the problem, then told me that this is not a plumbers job, this is an electricians problem and blah blah blah. Company wanted me to pay them $150 for nothing. I ended up paying $100 to this thieves. Next morning another real and professional plumber came and in the same five minutes he found the problems and fixed for $40 Here is his info if anyone wants a trusted and professional plumber TANKLESS WIZARD, INC 954-2742580

This company is completely unprofessional and rude. I took off work to me home for a 10-12 window for a contractor to come out for an estimate. I waited until 12:05 and did not hear a thing from anyone from this office. I then called and was told that """"he was leaving a job and would be on his way from Hollywood to my Home."""" This would make him more than an hour later than the 10-12 window that I was scheduled. I asked to speak to the """"manager"""" and was told there was a major flood in a high rise and that is why he was late. I understand emergencies happen but I should have been given the curtesy of a phone call. I told him that I needed to get back to work and if he wanted to reschedule he would have to come on a Saturday. He said that he works Mon-Friday. I too work Monday to Friday and already wasted my morning once waiting for this company. STAY AWAY! They will drop your small residential job in a moments notice if a high rise more expensive job falls in their lap.

We had a break at the water main. Charlie Swain Plumbers came out within an hour of our call and completed the repair at a very reasonable price. What makes this company stand out is the plumber came back to again make the repair after the fast drying glue failed. It held for a while and broke once more at 9:30 p.m. He returned within 30 minutes to once again make the repair. This time he used regular adhesive which dried overnight. The plumber who showed up in the morning turned on the water and waited to make certain the repair held. Friendly, honest workers who take pride in their work and a company that bills reasonably. We can't ask for more.

Called these guys to fix a link in our laundry that is ruining our kitchen's laminate floor. They told us it was a leaking faucet in the laundry, but they could not replace it because they did not have the part on the truck. So we had a neighbor replace it for us. The link continued. We called them back. This time, they said the washer was leaking but they couldn't fix it because they don't touch appliances. So we stopped using the washer and the leak continued. They are charging us for two visits and failed to find the leak. These guys are lazy and only want your money.

This is a poorly run company that puts customer service in last place. I used them twice and they were fine but nothing special. On my third appt., they tried to say that the same service I had prior had gone up from $150 to $250. Fraudulent charges averted! Not cool Chuckie!!!

Everything right. When I called, they answered the phone and quoted me a very fair price for the replacement of my water heater. They scheduled it for 2 days later. Arrived on time. The service tech was friendly and professional. Completed the job for the price quoted. The way it ought to be - but seldom is. Others had the requirement of coming out first (for $45+) which I get for some plumbing jobs but a water heater replacement - not rocket science! And they started saying, """"well, your likely going to need this and that..."""" suggesting the actual cost would be higher than the ballpark price quoted, etc. It was great to have a plumber who did what they said they would do, the first time, for the price quoted, with no hassle. Highly recommend Charlie Swain Plumbing.

I was skeptical to use Charlie Swain because I saw bad reviews online, but I guess you can't always trust reviews because our experience was perfect. They were the second company I called, the first took advantage of us on the first call (didn't call back of course). We had an internal leak/electric problem with a 4 year old A.O. Smith water heater. I called the manufacturer myself to try and get a refund (also easy to work with). They gave me a return number and the folks at Charlie Swain worked with their distributor to get me a new one and take out the old one. So I only paid Charlie Swain for the labor. Leo is an amazing technician and the person that answered the phone was very helpful (forgot her name). Prices were reasonable and the work was done very well. Highly recommend.

I called to have a leak fixed. The plumber that came appeared intoxicated ( on some type of drug) his speech and movement were all over the place. He misplaced the company keys and the alarm triggered on the service vehicle . This went on as he searched for the keys. This is all 5-7 minutes into the service call and no work was rendered at the time. I asked if he was ok. I don't know yet if the work he did fixed the problem. If appears so but I will never use this company again. He became unprofessional asking personal questions. After he finished I asked him a few times to leave as he tried making small talk. He received a phone call and urgently left. One night after the repair... tonight at 10 pm I hear noise outside of my home. My surveillance cameras and I both see the same service guy. I yelled I'm calling the police. I ran outside after him but he's fast. I checked surveillance and realized he'd been snooping around for about an hour. It's very creepy. I will call and let the owner know tomorrow that a police report has been filed. Do not use this company. Especially if you are a single female. I repeat!!!! DONT
