Recommended Customer Reviews
Called Chicks Plumbing to install a whole house water shutoff valve while leaving the sprinkler system on. Joe came a short time later, looked over our plumbing system and found that we already had a valve in a convenient location. That was a big surprise as we've lived here more than 20 years. Joe told us to turn off our circulating pump when we turn offf the water so the pump doesn't burn out. Almost the best part of this experience with Chicks is that there was no bill for the information. We are certain to make Chicks Plumbing an automatic call for any plumbing problem.
This company is wonderful. Had a kitchen sink clog on Friday evening. Called them and left a message in the emergency vm (even though it really wasn't an emergency). They immediately called back and said they could be at the house on 8am Saturday. They were exactly on time and fixed the job in less than an hour.
They will be my go-to plumber going forward. Thanks!!!!!!!
I have used checks for the past 10 years off and on for my plumbing needs. I recently had Chicks Plumbing come out to give me an estimate to replace our water heater. When they gave me a estimate I thought that it was really high. So I called out and got estimates from 2 other local plumbers. They were within $50 of each other. Both were better in price by over $800 as compared to Chick's. I called Chicks to let them know the price difference and they just said thanks for lettings know and that was it. I had heard rumors that Chick's was sold in the past couple of years. My suggestion unless it's an plumbing emergency get estimates from other plumbers if you are thinking about using Chicks.
Michelle T.Chicks is a great plumbing company! Bret and Clay are great plumbers Always nice and give good explanations on why something needs to be done or replaced. We have always found them to be quite reasonable and competitive with other plumbers. Give them a call:)
These people are terrific. We came home today at 3:15 and were told by workers at the home that they had sliced through a water line, and our home water was off. Their boss had been calling many other plumbers in the area, but nobody was willing to come out on short notice. We called Chick's, who we had used before, and they were at our house immediately.
They saved us from checking into a motel for the evening, as we wern't ready to spend the night without water, toilets, etc. To top it off, their bill was very reasonable.
Chicks Plumbing is under new ownership and the quality has gone done significantly. We just had a water heater installed, by the new owner, for $1500- but to bring it ""up to code"" it would have been another $600. We couldn't afford the extra, so opted to sign off that we would bring it ""up to code"" at a later date. The same day we found out that another Plummer would have been only $1500 including ""bringing it up to code"".
During the install I asked what ""bringing up to code"" entailed for $600. He said #1 a pan an under the unit #2something else maybe a valve- I can't remember #3 was installation of extra copper piping, which was ""a majority of the cost"". I said can we just put the pan or cheaper items in and he said- your husband didn't want to pay for it so I didn't bring it and don't have it in my truck!
I asked if he would place it under the unit, if I went to Home Depot to purchase a pan. He said, ""absolutely happy to...but you won't need it"". I just felt better so I went to get the pan and he was nice enough to put it under the unit free of charge. THANK GOODNESS I got it, because the water heater began leaking into the pan and from the pan onto our garage floor. I'm really disappointed because when he returned to fix it, he said ""I always install a pan- you didn't want to pay for it"" and he asked if I wanted to see where I signed off that we opted out of ""bringing it up to code"". Shame on him- he knows what happened!
He fixed the leak today, apparently a faulty part. But I still have a bad feeling about it. If I hadn't gone to the store our wooden box under the water heater could have been saturated with water and possibly worse water damage- such a bummer. In the end there was an insincere apology, I won't be calling them again!
Tali C.Very pleased with the service and staff! Called the office and they sent out Clay within 20 minutes for a leaky pipe in one of our bathrooms. He replaced the part at an affordable price and seemed very professional and knowledgeable. Friendly guy :) Will be using them for any future plumbing problems!
Nothing drawn out to say...just this... they went out of their way, late on a Friday, to make sure I had the correct part.. When a business goes the extra .. to me that is a business to frequent.
Beware. They don't stand behind their work. Also unscrupulous. Told me I needed a $750 new valve on shower wall when a $165 cartridge fixed it. Brett told me I didn't ask for it. I told him I'm not a plumber and did not know.that was a possibility. He never told me it was an option. Also snaked the tub which did have roots and some water ran very slowly down drain when he left. 1 week later when shower was used it would NOT drain at all. They refused to make the $142 that I paid him good. As I said. Beware.
Rick T.There great! The only plumbers we will use. Prompt, affordable, excellent customer service.
