Recommended Customer Reviews

I called First Response since I had a good experience with them several years ago. This time I need a kitchen faucet and garbage disposal installed. I called and reviewed what work I needed and then scheduled a time for the work to be done. Paul arrived on time and after reviewing what needed to be done discussed the estimate which I approved. After starting the installation Paul noticed that the faucet would not fit into the opening in the countertop. Paul went to Home Depot searched for a faucet that would fit, text me the information and purchased the faucet and added the cost to my estimate. Paul was very neat, professional and quick. The entire event probably only took a few hours. It's nice to have service companies like First Response vs the ones who really shouldn't be in business. First Response is a 5 star company.

Let me tell you how First Response plumbing can improve! First, by showing up!! We contacted them and they scheduled an appointment between 3-4PM. Around 3:45P we contacted them and John advised us that his guy was running a little bit late so when 4:30P came around and no plumber arrived, I called them back and he didn't answer the phone anymore. We sat there in the car waiting for them for 2.5 hours. He stopped answering phone calls and plumber never showed up. This was total disrespect with a customer!!he should have told me to reschedule so we wouldn't be wasting our time, a day before Christmas! He didn't even call back to apologize, explain or give any reason for not showing up at all. He pretty much didn't care about his customer, totally disrespectful. I highly recommend you seek someone else!

I highly recommend this company. Amador did an amazing job. Very knowledgeable and patient. We will definitely request him should we need plumbing services in the future!

I've been using this plumbing company for a few years and every time I am amazed at how they show up when they are supposed to and do an excellent job. They always clean up after they are done and typically give at least a 30 day guarantee on parts and labor. When I was shopping for a new shower head and didn't know which to buy, the owner was nice enough to let me send photos to his cell phone so that I was sure to buy the appropriate items. Their personalized service is a rarity these days. Their technician, Dimitry has performed the recent jobs and is always polite and completes the work with a smile.

If i could leave less then 1 star I would. Not only did the guy show up and just randomly throw out numbers regarding the cost. Started at $275 to fix a clog in my shower, like crazy. When I said leave the price continued to drop. Since I was leaving town the next day I agreed the rip off price of $125 and would have left it at that. However, this guy instead of clearing the clog just pushed it enough so although now my shower drains all the toilets in the house continually get clogged, which I know is related to the original clog because he explained they are all connected. Shameful, thieves Stay away

We had an amazing experience with this company. Our shower valve broke on us and at 9pm I researched plumbers on the Facebook group Delray Raw. This company came highly recommended. I messaged them and got an immediate personalized response from the owner and set up a time the next morning for someone to come to the house. A plumber was at my house early and had the parts replaced and my shower working within an hour! We will definitely use this company again! Responsive, communicative and affordable!

I have used First Response Plumbing for several years now. Their work has consistently been professional. They have worked on both small repairs and a large hard to locate leak for me. On the hard to locate leak they worked methodically until they found the leak source and repaired it. John returns phone calls promptly and takes his time to answer questions. I recommend First Response Plumbing.

I was completely satisfied with the work and the price Amador was not only a knowledgeable plumber but a very good guy with a lot of patience to do the job right I highly recommend this company

Horrible company and leadership from Jon, the owner. Jon's communication is extremely poor! They are never on time. He's hardly ever on the job site to check on the work that his people are doing. Washer machines were plumbed in where sinks were supposed to go. The owner thinks it's ok for sewer drain pipes to have leaks during the rough inspection because """"they aren't normally under pressure"""". Vent pipes were installed on a negative slope thereby trapping rain water inside the pipe and not allowing air to pass through (see picture). Items were stolen from my house and other job sites where his worker was fired for stealing. They don't clean up at the end of the day (see picture). They have delayed the construction job by at least 6 weeks due to a failed inspection and leaking pipes. They damaged a brand new tub during the install. Jon was attempting to set my new tub without cement until I stopped him and stated that they don't usually set tubs with cement. Jon cut a floor pipe under my cement slab and never capped it which caused unexpected and unnecessary damage and expenses once the water was turned back on. They flooded my second bathroom when installing the shower valve because they left the valve in the open position and then turned the water on. They used rubber couplings and hose clamps to join drain pipes that continued to leak (see picture). Jon ran off the job, never returned, and was subsequently fired after not returning several calls and text messages. DON'T HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! HORRIBLE!!!!

The best! I was referred to them by Select Home warranty company, (Which the warranty company is garbage please read my review on them) I was in the midst of an emergency of an outside hose nozzle running water and would not cut off. These guys help me out even when the warranty company denied my claim. Very professional and curtest I would definitely recommend and use them again.Thank You.
