Meares Plumbing

The only reason for 2 stars is that the repair man was very nice and professional and did a good job. My problem is with the way a job is priced. Other companies I have dealt with charge a service fee but it is then applied to the repair. This company charges a service fee and then a repair fee at a set rate no matter what you have done or how long it takes. He replaced an $8.00 part and tightened 3 connections and my total bill was $140. It took him less than 10 minutes including the time it took to go back to his truck and get the part. If I wasn't 70 years old I could have managed myself. I won't be calling this company again.

I used Meares Plumbing and would definitely recommend them. Being out of state for an emergency, I thought it would be difficult to find someone reliable. A man named Jesse handled the job on an outside water pipe. He went above and beyond for me, even communicating with FGUA to resolve the problem. He kept me posted via cell for 2 days, and returned to the site to be sure all was fixed and working well. Thank you Meares, especially Jesse!

Hey we all think DIY is easy. A lot of the time for me it is. Had a laundry tub that needed a new faucet installed. Of course, I went to turn the water off on the cheap shutoff that came with my house when built and it wouldn't stop leaking! It was a Saturday so I was hesitant on calling a plumber. I called and the dispatcher informed me I had the diamond plan and it would be 30 something dollars for the call. I booked the call and I got a call from the technician Kyle. He came out explained these valves always leak (my house is 22 years old) I never turned these valves, ever. Kyle was not only professional, but very friendly and explained his every move. The management must know how awesome this employee is. Thank you Kyle and Mears Plumbing for the awesome job done! 10 stars for you guys! P.S. I rarely have the time or get awed by any company. Kyle is the real deal and Mears plumbing is lucky to have an employee like him. Well done Mears Plumbing.

I was hired for a position in their Sarasota office two weeks ago. I reported to work on time and ready to work. I was instructed to sit down and wait for the contact who had hired me. After being there less then three minutes I was called in to the Hiring Manager's office. There he talked to me as if I just showed up out of the blue and had this idea I had a job, he didn't interview me I spent over two hours on the phone with two different people just before Memorial Day weekend. I got a call two Fridays ago asking me when I could report to work. Being that I work one full time position and one part time position, I quit my full time position on the promise of a new job with a new company. I have plenty of years experience in the Service world, including Electrical, Plumbing and Heating and Cooling. The human resource manager was so rude and disrespectful. Informing me that he had hired someone for the position and they started training the next day. He talked to me like I was someone that was ignorant and shouldn't have even the qualifications for the job. I didn't make the choice to hire me, another part of the management team had done that. The worst of it was I drove over 2 hours to get there, which was my time and my gas. So not only did I spend time with the interviewers on the phone, I also spend four hours on the road and back to the training location. He told me he would pay for my gas, how insulting. You know if he had sounded sincere about the mix up maybe I would have felt better about the whole situation. I turned down interviews the last part of the week before I started the position and left a full time position to have been promised an opportunity. I felt disrespect and was totally heart broken. Right now its hard to get a decent job and I had quit one to go to work at Meares, only to be informed that there was no job for me. I work hard, I am a great employee and respectful of all who I come in contact with each day. At the end of the day it wasn't about not having a job it was how I was treated. To the HR person, you have no tact, to but it lightly your a complete DICK I could of used other words to describe you crappy attitude. You should have taken it out on the people who hired me. NOT ME. I spend hour after hour looking for a great place to work, this was not a place I even would consider after the brief encounter. To the Owner and Operator of Meares you definitely need someone else new running your HR department. I am glad I found out what he was all about. So I put my feet solidly on ground and walk forward. Please be cautious when either using these people for services, or looking to get hired on.

I live in New Port Richey and have been using this plumbing company for many years now. I wouldn't think of letting anyone else in my house.

Adolfo came out today and did a great, we were very pleased. Not only did he do a clean job, he was very professional and polite, this coming from a woman and man who was in the Plumbing business for 25 years. Very impressed!

Very disappointing. Used Meares for service on several properties. Got good service at fair prices and then. Called on a Leaking water main issue. I though the problem was more serious than it turned out to be. What I thought was an estimate for 3 hours work turned out to be an hour and half of work, half hour of stalling and BS, then billed for three hours. Finding Plumbers in the Tampa area that don't try to rip you off or overcharge is very difficult, This one tried to sneak in an extra hour . So now I have to find another Plumber. Call them at your own risk...

We have had problems with hot water heaters since Meares installed it for builder in our new home last year. We had to have Meares come out last fall, water was not as hot as supposed to be at faucet. Took 2 techs coming out (finally sent a supervisor) to find out that one of the elements were burned out. Supervisor also seen they had installed it wrong (water inlet and water line to house was backwards). Meares had also failed to install hose bibb missing vacuum breaker per county code. Supervisor switched 2 line and installed missing piece. A year later, same issues with hot water heater, will not warranty their work or screw ups. Wants to charge me $70 for call plus labor for something still under warranty.

We worked with Meares to have a new gas line and water heater installed and they were excellent--timely, professional, and respectful of our home. Nick was especially great to work with! Thanks guys!
