Recommended Customer Reviews
Leon W.We've used OJ Laughlin for at least 20 years and twice in the last month. One job was very difficult cutting through drywall and tile. The other was just routine, but in both cases they were very responsive and very professional.
Valerie T.They've been to our rental property several times in the past few years. It's an old house that hasn't had professional services in many years. My dad always fixed everything himself. This company has been amazing. They are professional and on time. They are reasonably priced and do not try and do unnecessary work. The stack in basement was splitting and they were able to saw off the damaged section and replace it with PVC pipe. It looks great and it took no time at all. I highly recommend for any of your plumbing needs.
Mary N.They no longer take new customers so don't waste your time. We called and the did not want our business. I guess they have all the customers they need.
Leslie G.Tom did a great job. He was early, dressed professional, and kept us posted on the work he was doing and asked before he added anything additional that was not previously discussed. He also cleaned up before he left. The high quality of service and their people is worth the price.
Julie B.Two months ago we just finished a full kitchen remodel. Then, last week, a pipe behind the wall in the new kitchen decided to start leaking. We called out a different plumber and that plumber told us we needed to either rip out the brand new kitchen or else cut a large hole in the side of the house before he could even give us a quote.
We called OJ Laughlin to get a second opinion. They took the time to search for an alternative to pulling out our brand new kitchen and in the end their solution took only 2 hours and was so much more affordable (seriously, they save us thousands!). We were so thankful for their ingenuity! In addition, our plumber was incredibly nice and professional, and he wore a mask the whole time.
We would recommend this company to anyone! Our house came with many plumbing problems and they will be our first choice from here on out! The only downside was that we had to wait a couple of extra days because they were so busy, but the wait was well worth the savings.
Thea G.Their price is insane!!! My job was simple. The plumber was in and out in 15 minutes and I still had to pay an hour minimum fee! The parts were $3!!! The price is ridiculous. Overrated!
