Recommended Customer Reviews

Couldn't have been better. On-time, friendly, honest, clean and efficient. I will definitely call these guys for any plumbing problem in the future.

Fast telephone call back. Arrived early for appointment with a smile. Was clear about what needed to be done and pricing as well as recommended possible future work. Honest, fast and efficient.

My husband found Friendly Plumber here on Yelp (thanks everyone) - and we are extremely impressed with them. They were prompt in every aspect of their work - from taking our initial email, to our first phone call, and eventually setting up an appointment the very next day. I had a toilet replacement and they literally took about 45 mins to take care of everything including payment.
Robert provided us with great advice on other areas and answered all our questions. We have used many vendors and plumbers in the past, but this is by FAR the best experience we have ever had. On top of that - we believe their rates are outstanding.
They are fantastic and I would NOT hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to all family and friends.

Prompt, honest, and fast. Friendly was flexible enough to come at a later time when my partner and I were running late getting home for the appointment.
The plumber did a fine job replacing our old kitchen sink. It was a tough and dirty job, and I really commend his professionalism for toughing-out the long day without any grumbling.
The price I paid was fair in my estimation, and it was nice that it came at $80 less than what I was originally quoted. I would definitely recommend the company to a friend.

he coached me over the phone how to fix the problem myself, saving me $85 for a housecall. will definitely call him whenever i need a plumber.

Just another 5-star review to add to the melting pot of happy customers. I agree with all the other 5-starers, great service...friendly...et cetera, et cetera...

Robert was responsive, professional, trustworthy and very reasonable in his price. I remodeled a bathroom and he did the plumbing work [ripped out a vanity, modified the pipes and installed a sink]. He did a great job. I have tried several plumbers and he is the best.

Robert was the only plumber willing to give me a rough estimate based on an email request and two (accurate photos) I sent to him. I wasn't looking for a hard quote that I would hold him to, I just needed a rough idea so that I could plan my next step and budget accordingly. It was exactly what I needed.
I tried multiple plumbers and only one other would even return my email. It's nice to see that someone is on the ball and using this 'new fangled' email technology to their advantage. (Most trades pros haven't really caught on yet) Seems like a great way to quickly review a situation without the scheduling hassles of an in person visit. Bravo Robert!
When I am ready to call in a plumber for any job I have, I know where I will go now.

I called Friendly Plumber after I saw their reviews on yelp. He came out pretty quick and even though it ended up being a pointless call, he didn't mind too much at all and he was super nice. Like really, really nice. If I were to call a plumber again, this would be the place i'd call.

Wow. I called and asked how much it would be to snake out a toilet. Robert gave me a price but said ""If it's not the toilet that's broken you can get an auger at the hardware store and do it yourself.""
I can't believe he gave me a reason not to fork cash over. When I thanked him saying as much he laughed and said ""I don't like wasting people's time."" Fantastic. Hopefully I can take care of it but I'll be sure to give him a call if I ever need something.
