My Local Plumber

Brian H.

So we had a back up of some kind which had water all over. We called and he came out and did some work. That was fine. We go in and use the restroom after he leaves and see a cracked toilet bowl lid. So I call and let him know. He instantly gets defensive and angry and says he didn't do it. After going back and forth he says he will come back by. He shows up a half hour later. Comes out with the lid and explains how there is no way he did it. That we were looking for something for free. His exact line was ""there is no free lunches in America"" so I finally just said look just go. The fact we are sitting here doing this over something so small is pretty ridiculous. We are a business and just wanted an issue fixed not a free 25 dollar lid. If he had just discussed it and met in the middle or had done anything other than just getting angry this could have been resolved very easily. Instead his angry denials and lack of customer service turned it into what I listed above.

Micheal and his crew were fantastic! They installed a fancy clawfoot tub fixture, replumbed our sink, did a major major repair job on our underhouse plumbing and other misc plumbing. What impressed me was Micheal's creative thinking, commitment and honesty. Our job was multiple days and he came back each day at the time he committed to. I will be working with Michael again for plumbing and have referred MyLocalPlumber to several people. Moreover, his rates were astonishing! For the amount of work they did I would have expected 2x more. I am in the home improvement business and know a good crew when I see it. Save time and money and hire these guys!

One of the most outstanding qualities about Michael is that he is a visionary. He doesn't just jump in to do a major job by rote, he studies an individual piping system and formulates a solution that best works for the individual house.

We first called Michael when we were looking to buy a house, and the original plumber wasn't able to meet with us. Luckily Michael was able to show up on short notice, for which we were so grateful. We ended up not getting that house, but bought another. The one we bought is a quirky old place, and was rife with plumbing issues that essentially amounted to a complete overhaul!

Michael got us an estimate, and then approached the job. As it turned out, the piping that had been installed previously was not exactly standard, so pretty much everything had to be redone! It was scary and daunting, and I feared the job couldn't be completed by the time we needed to move in! But even though he had to make changes in the original plans, AND had to work through some weekends, Michael got everything functioning by the time we occupied the house. There were still things that needed to be ""fine-tuned"" once we were there, but Michael stuck with it. He is very diligent and focused.

We are now happily situated in our new home, and hope that all will be well and healthy with our plumbing for a long time to come!

Be aware! Michael is very dishonest. And I am still uncertain if he has the correct Licenses to do plumbing work. I contact him due to we got some issues with the sewer line, as I told him over the phone. First of all he did not show up at the time we scheduled for, and he did not have the correct equipment, he said he could only start working on our sewer line after 5pm, or on the weekend so he does not get in trouble with the City. It appeared to me that he is NOT licensed!
He quoted via email with the description of work to be done, I gave him green light to go ahead. He asked for around a 30% deposit otherwise he wouldn't start the job. I deposited the money into his bank account. To make long story short HE DID NOT DO THE JOB AT ALL! but yet he will not return my deposit!!! Do not trust this person!

Michael was an incredibly intelligent an approachable man. Prompt, professional, and well priced; he took care of business quickly and had plenty of insight for future work. I'd recommend him to any sane person.

Awesome job, affordable service and quick. I will recommend him to my circle of friends.

Our toilet was partially clogged. Turned out something was trapped in it and we replaced the toilet. He also quickly fixed a few other items around our house that had minor plumbing issues. Thanks for your help.

I called ""My local plumber"" four times. They told me they would be there within the hour after an hour i called they said 30 minutes, two hours later a no show. I called them the next morning and he said ""I found another job that would pay more"" I said you could have called he said ""yeah well"". Absolutely no customer service.

I called Wednesday to make an appt. today 9/27 at 9:00. It is 2.5 hours later and no one has shown or called. This is horrible customer service. I left all my information with him, but this company has failed to show.

Im very disappointed of the service from My Local Plumber. I called for a common leak in my bathtub faucet. The next day found my faucet still leaking so I called up Michael to fix it after paying him. Til this day it is still leaking. I just got scammed and robbed. This surprises me to think he couldn't fix a leak for a plumber! Be aware!! I am still waiting for my refund from him.

MIchael (and his assisant) came to my residence, same day, and replaced some corroded (40 year old) pipe in my bathroom. He ran to Home Depot and back, the job was done in under two hours. He was fast and courteous, took photos of the work he did, offered me a fair price, and a receipt. I really appreciate that he is a local resident, a fast and skilled worker, and really a very good communicator. I would definitely recommend him and I will hire him again.
