Recommended Customer Reviews

Our DIY project went really wrong!!!! Friendly Plumbing staff and Plumber Carlos saved us when we were up an icky creek. Fantastic and helpful service normally, but they were responsive and there for us when we had a crisis.

We had them out for various plumbing issues through our home warranty. Carlos was super nice and fixed the more run-of-the-mill plumbing issues with no problem, but he just couldn't figure out the issue with our water heater/recirculation pump. They came out 3 or 4 times and kept replacing the pump, but the issue (had to wait 2 minutes before getting hot water) would still persist. Finally, their dispatcher rather rudely said they couldn't help us and basically said our house was just too big. The home warranty company reassigned us to another company, who diagnosed and fixed the problem on the first try, and now we have hot water in 10 seconds throughout our ""big house"". While Friendly Plumbing was friendly in the beginning, I would not do business with them again because of that last exchange with their dispatcher.

FRIENDLY !!??????
What a joke... snotty, nasty girl on the phone.
If your unhappy in life, don't be in customer service.
This company also has recently done work on my clients new home. I
will keep you updated on the work done.

On February 23, 2018 one of your plumbers (Lee) came to my house to install a shower and reroute the water lines and vent piping. I also needed shut off valves installed for a sink on the outside of the wall as the sink is on the back deck. He was there at 8:30 a.m. and according to Julie at the office was back at their shop at 3:30 p.m. I was told by Julie over the phone that he had 6 1/2 hours into the job at $87.00 an hour which would be $565.50. The plumber did use some water lines and on the bill this came to $14.00 however, I was charged over $600.00 for this first day. The only thing that was done in this first day was about 3 to 5 feet of water line, he soldered the copper pipe to the rough in valve and laid it up against the wall, and I have two short pieces of water pipe coming through the wall for the shut off valves. After 6 1/2 hours of doing this he went back to his shop and I was told he would return on Monday to finish the job.
He arrived Monday morning at 8:30 a.m. and left at 3:30 p.m. and the only thing that was done on this day was the shower pan set and the shower walls installed, the water lines to the shower was completed (only about another 3 - 5 feet of pipe as we put in a smaller shower than what was in there). He rerouted the vent pipe, again only moving it about 3 feet. When I complained about the time it was taking to complete the job to Friendly Plumbing, I was told he had to do some carpentry work to secure the shower walls. This consisted of two pieces of 2x4 to be placed in the frame to secure the shower walls (frame was exposed no drywall was up yet). Still do not have shot off valves and the job is still not done.
I talked to some other plumbers (I worked for a plumbing company for twenty years and explained what had to be done and got the same response from everyone that this job should have been done in one day).
Well when he left on Monday the 26th of February I was handed a bill for over $1200.00 and I still do not have the job completed.
Needless to say this plumbing company will not be out to our house again for the finish and the second bathroom remodel. I feel as though we were taken advantage of and charged excess hours for the worked performed.

Josh came to fix a leak from my water heater. I Didn't want to put too much $ in cuz I want to move. He didn't try and sell me on more and was very personable, and cute. He was real and listen to me and my worms. Thanks , I'll call again.

Our house is 71 years old and we needed extensive upgrades to our plumbing. Josh has been working on our home replacing pipes and troubleshooting what needs to be done.
Josh is hard working, very knowledgeable and more importantly he is a very nice young man.
He always cleans up our after he is done with the work
We would highly recommend Friendly plumbing to our neighbors, friends and family.

Had the misfortune of getting my sewer drain backed up in my home but had the pleasure of working with Josh from Friendly Plumbing to fix the situation.
As the drains were back flowing we both assumed the main sewer drain was blocked up. Sadly, snaking the drain did nothing to repair the issue. The last resort was going to come from having to let all the water slowly drain to remove a toilet and clean the pipes that way. Something that would have left us without working toilets and showers another 24 hours at least.
Josh racked his brain and came up with another plan to work from the faucet lines to fix the issue and several Clorox wipes removed later the water was flowing again like normal and the possible stress of having to deal with this for another night was handled. Professionalism, care and knowledge saved the day and I couldn't have been happier with the result.
I fully recommend Friendly Plumbing if you have the unfortunate need for a plumber down the road.

I made an appointment (which took 4 days to get) for an estimate on a very large refit of plumbing pipe on older home. I was already warned this was going to cost alot, but the job needed to get done. Upon appointment day, NO ONE SHOWED UP. I called again and they had FORGOTTEN me. The girl actually told me maybe I should go somewhere else. This was a case of a front girl not knowing her job. I said I would accept the mistake and could someone come out soon. An hour later he was there. Took measurements and I made the job simple by opening walls for work done. He said he would go back and email the estimate back. TWO (2) days later, still nothing. I called and was told they are still working on it. Why does everyone LIE when they simply don't want the work? DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. I shared my experience with my neighbor and he said if I had asked him first he would have said NOT to get them at all. They have cheated seniors he knows out of thousands for poor quality work that was never done correctly, or never needed in the first place. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

They came out to my house for a Fidelity Warranty claim. Fantastic work by their employee Carlos, who not only fixed the issues that we knew about also found a couple of other things that were wrong and it was all covered under the home warranty. Julie, their dispatcher, communicated well during the lead up to the appointment, and she went to bat with the warranty company to make sure that everything got covered. Great job all the way around!!

Was referred to this company by a friend and was not disappointed. Plumber Josh was at my house on the same day and leak in shower was discovered and repaired within an hour. Very friendly and knowledgeable technician - will be contacting this company for any further repairs and possible upcoming bathroom remodel. Thanks Josh!
