Elek Plumbing

Requested a quote for rough plumbing of 2 apartments. This was for running water lines and drains for 1 bath and 1 kitchen for each unit. The quote was for rough plumbing only which includes water lines and drains to each kitchen and bath. It did not include water heaters, faucets, showers , baths tubs, sinks or toilets.

The quote came in at $45,000 dollars to complete what would amount to 2 days work at the most! The water lines, drains and connectors are very inexpensive. The labor worked out to about to about $2800/hr!

This was probably the most expensive quote I ever received in my 50 years of dealing with contractors. I hope if you consider this contractor you get a few quotes to compare!

When I emailed the company to express my shock at the quote. I was told to contact the company to discuss the quote. I emailed back the quote and asked how this could possibly be a reasonable quote! I never heard back by email or phone call!

Be careful, it seems like the company throws out absurd bids in the hope of no one is checking competing bids!

BTW.....the bid was nearly 8 times higher than the median bid of $6000!!

Purchased a home a few days ago and immediately found an issue with the toilet. In an attempt to simply change it out became an emergency. I called Elek and Gil was out within the hour. With all of this Covid19 business, Gil came prepared with gloves, shoe protection, mask etc. He fixed our issue, gave me tips on what to do going forward and remained professional throughout the entire process. I'd recommend Gil and Elek to everyone needing plumbing care. Thanks

Extremely dissatisfied with a non emergency job. Overcharged for a simple dishwasher installation and they did not complete the task. They refused to adjust the price when they determined that they could nor complete the job. I had to bring in another contractor to finish the job.

I called Elek at 6:00 pm, after business hours. By 6:15 I received a call back and they had a repair person on their way. Within the hour Scott arrived. It only took him minutes to find the problems. In less than an hour he had everything fixed ... a cracked water pipe, a pressure gauge, and another loose piece. I could not be more pleased with the service I received. The price was fair for all the work that was done and for coming out late in the day. I would definitely recommend and will use them in the future!!!

David came out right away on a holiday weekend, which I wasn't expecting at all. I was told upfront I'd be paying an emergency surcharge, and because I needed my clogged kitchen sink fixed immediately, I accepted it. I had called around to other plumbers but no one picked up. David was already really personable on the phone and based on the other Yelp reviews, I decided to give Elek a chance. He was prompt, efficient, clean, and explained everything he was doing. My sink is unclogged (and hopefully stays this way into eternity, plz!) and now I have peace of mind. Thanks David & Elek!

I called Elek plumbing and left a message when my well pump stopped working. I received no call back in over two days. I guess they don't need my business.

Called Elek Plumbing for drain clogged, I had one of the online coupons for $50.00. They said the guy that comes will give us a price. I asked if I could use the $50.00 coupon they said yes just give to technician. When he came he quoted an outrageous price to run a snake. We said no, The charge to come out was $99.95 but I had the $50.00 coupon the operator said I could use. The technician said I couldn't use it because I didn't approve for them to do the job.
They are liars, cheaters..... DON'T CALL THEM IN THEY WILL RIP
YOU OFF!!!

Update: Called and complained and they said they will refund us the $99.95. Just read coupon closely and be careful with this company!!

Fantastic experience!! The day after Thanksgiving the basement floor drain backed up. Asked some neighbors, did some google research the called Elek at 8:30 Sat morning and left details with their answering service. Had a call back 30 minutes later, and Chuck was at my house 1 hour after that. Inside of 2 hours he had found the right drain clean out, cleared the clog and meticulously cleaned up after himself and was rolling back out my driveway. Their prompt service call turned a holiday mess into nothing more than a good story to tell at work on Monday. Great job, great attitude, great service, fair price. Highly recommend and I'll be calling them for future (non-crisis) projects.

Our water alarm went off and called a few places...only Elek got back to me quickly on a Saturday evening and was there within the hour. Professional and courtious and more importantly, solved our issue!

This is the terrible technician. Came in to look at the issue, tried to fix but made the water leak issue worse. Got the money and done.
