Recommended Customer Reviews
Mardi F.I tried Jolly for the first time about 2 months ago to put in a sink and repair a leaky bathtub faucet. They left pipes all around and were dirty. They didn't caulk the sink to the wall properly and it started separating immediately. The part of the sink that plugs the sink wasn't installed properly and so I have to manually go under the sink to use it (I tried to fix it, but I'm not a plumber). And, the faucet for the tub they ""fixed"" is now leaking badly again. I wasn't impressed.
We recently built a new home with a septic system and have no experience with that at all. We called AJ Jolly to have to the system pumped for the first time. They sent a technician name Damien. I'm so glad they did! He was very professional and explained everything he did, how the system works and provided some information on how to care for the system going forward. I would recommend Damien and AJ Jolly to anyone!
I'm a disgruntled customer. Ten years ago, I purchased a farm that has needed a lot of plumbing, a subject about which I knew little about ten years ago. I'm not exaggerating to say Jolly plumbers were here, on average, every sixty days, for years. I like their plumbers because most know what they are doing when it comes to rural plumbing - cisterns, irrigation pumps, pressure tanks, etc, and they almost always had the materials they needed on the truck. Four or five years ago, the founder retired and passed the business to his son. Now everything is much more expensive. Even if I tell the dispatcher what they'll be doing when they're here, they still show up without the common fittings they need and have to go back to the shop for materials. Fortunately, I've learned a lot and don't need to call them as often. Meanwhile, I'm looking for a new plumbing company. Here's a tip: even if it's a simple plumbing task, get a Jolly employee to give you a quote first.
Angela S.Very professional... 24 hour service is the best. We had major plumbing issues the other night and they were quick to come out late on a Friday night. The plumber was very respectful and professional and we would for sure use them again. Pricing is great. No complaints here!
New to Cincinnati and used Jolly plumbing for an inspection on the house we bought, based on the recommendation of the realtor. Several months later we called them again for a plumbing issue. The plumber that came was great and was very thorough. He double checked something ""just in case"" and ended up saving us several hundred dollars on what would have been an unnecessary repair. I would highly recommend Jolly Plumbing.
Erica M.When my sewage drain backed up, Jolly Plumbing was at my house in less than 12 hours. They were able to clear the drain, remove an unused toilet and cap that line. They were knowledgeable, friendly, quick and through. This was my first need for a plumber and I can definitely say in the future, I'll always use and recommend Jolly Plumbing.
Bob L.one word - UNPROFESSIONAL
according to these other ""reviews"" i must of gotten jolly plumbing on a really really really bad day. i had a problem and called jolly and they ""tried"" to help but with all the problems i had just dealing with them and the sub-par work they did do and the hassles i went through to get things done , i will never deal with them again.
they offered to come back and make right what was wrong but after experiencing their handiwork , i do not want them back in my house again.
had i did a little research before contacting them i would have found that they are not accredited by the BBB and the complaint on BBB is very similar to what they did to me.
and i had some facebook friends say that jolly did shoddy work and overcharged them, which also happened to me. well , lesson learned , do not use jolly plumbing
Ben M.Great work, but more importantly they showed up in a timely manner. They gave me an estimated time of 2-4:00pm, but we're able to show up around 11:30am! The price was reasonable and I didn't feel swindled, no complaints here.
Dean C.Called Jolly Plumbing when our basement drain started backing up. They cleared the clog and the price was on the low end of their initial phone quote. The tech was very friendly. He noticed our hot water heater was leaking and gave a quote for replacing that as well.
The staff is friendly and the work was done quick. Price was competitive. I would definitely recommend them to a friend and will use them again when I decide to replace the water heater.
tried to call for emergency service for my sisters house and no one could come until 3-4 days later. So much for 24/7 service
