Recommended Customer Reviews

Rip off prices quoting me ridiculous price for a simple t installation be aware and shop around before getting scammed by these guys !! Buyer beware !

Like the saying goes, ""You get what you pay for."" We always hope we can get high quality work at low prices, but that's rarely the case. Since I have a home warranty, all I have to pay is the flat service call fee, but Payless isn't even worth that! In fact, they almost cost me a whole lot more. They misdiagnosed the water backup from the toilet, saying the sewer line was broken. Not only would that have caused me to pay to have the foundation cut open and the flooring be replaced, but it also would've caused the water damage to not be covered under homeowner's insurance. Good thing I asked for a second opinion before tearing up the floor of the house. Honest Plumber was dispatched and they found the water backup to be caused by a stuck flapper in the toilet tank. Simple fix that saved me thousands of dollars. Don't try to pay less with Payless, you'll end up paying much more.

HIGHLY recommend Payless Plumbing. After a bathroom back up lead to a verdict that the sewage line was deteriorating in this 60+ year old house, my mom was referred to Payless. They were very professional, scheduled this urgent job the next day, and a very reasonable price quote. The work done was thorough, the workers courteous and minimal down time with water shut off. The entire sewage repipe was completed in 2.5 days. The lawn nicely replaced. And, the job came in $200 BELOW the high end of the quote.
I have read some of the negative reviews. Too bad people had a bad experience. We had a pretty major repair job, and definitely recommend them.

Do NOT recommend Payless. Our property management company called them to fix some leaks in our house. The supposedly fixed the problem, but one of the hose bibs that they repaired started leaking again less than a year later. When we opened it up ourselves to check it out, the washer was all cracked and old....so we replaced the washer ourselves.

After getting a ridiculously high quote from another company in town, I went to my Facebook community and asked for recommendations. I received several recommendations for Payless. They came out and estimated the job at 2-3 hours. Came back the next day and did the work, and it was exactly as estimated. No hidden costs, no surprises. Just exactly what was quoted. The plumber that came out was Chris Jackson. Very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend Payless for you plumbing needs.

I had Fredrick from Payless Plumbing at my house today. He called before coming over to make sure I was home. He was on time, polite and helpful. I had a spigot that was leaking and I had him check the others while he was there. He changed two spigots and the price of $129 was reasonable. I have clients ask for contractors all the time. Payless is who I will be referring them to. Good job Fredrick!!!

I used Payless plumbing to replace my garbage disposal. Technician was very professional prompt called me before appointment to let me know he was on his way. Installed new garbage disposal, cleaned up all of his work and make sure that I knew what he did and showed me all work that he did . I would highly recommend Payless plumbing services, prices are reasonable, service is prompt and technicians are professional.

Absolutely disgusted with this place. Owner refuses to call me back to discuss the issue, and I've been so reasonable with him. No yelling or anything. So, maybe they can fix my issue inside my house, but god forbid you have a problem. Owner won't do anything about it. Poor work quality + poor customer service = ??

They fixed a hot water heater, did a great job and cheaper than many other places

Problem still Exist!!
Does not return phone calls... Never in office!!
Save your money and frustrations. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
