Recommended Customer Reviews

Pete's Plumbing was recommended to me by my neighbor. I had a clogged sewer line and was looking for a plumber that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg.... I spoke to a wonderful office representative named Rochelle. She was extremely nice and was able to accommodate sending someone out that day, she also quoted their price for doing the work over the phone. .very reasonable pricing.
Around the time of my appointment It was pouring rain; however and I received a call from a representative of Pete's plumbing stating that due to safety reasons their technician would be out as soon as it stopped raining.. When their technician Joshua, did come he was extremely friendly and professional. The job was completed in less than 1 hour. The whole experience definitely exceeded my expectations. I am a very happy customer of Pete's Plumbing.

I was referenced to Petes by my neighbor after I told him about my clogged kitchen sink. After talking with very friendly sales representative I had a technicians team at my door in about 10 minutes. Technicians was very professional, friendly and straight to the point. They fixed everything in very clean manner and gave helpful recommendation on upcoming replacements with no push for additional services. Will recommend highly recommend them if anybody needs very professional and affordable plumer services.

I have used Petes plumbing for years. They have always shown up on time (within the three hour window). Every time work is done, they have given me the option of fixing the current problem or going with a new one. The guys complete the work fast, efficient, and correctly. My experiences have been good and I am very happy to have Petes plumbing as an HONEST, competent and reliable business to call upon for my plumbing needs.

We've used Pete's Plumbing over the years with no complaints. I usually don't write reviews, but these guys are good. We had a hot water pipe break and it probably had beeen leaking for some time. They were prompt, did the work and even were less than the original quote. I would recommend them

I've been using Pete's Plumbing for 25 years. They have installed copper plumbing, done heater repairs, fixed toilets, replaced water heaters, cleared the main line and cleaned out more drains than I can count. They are always honest when giving estimates for work, including telling you if there is a less expensive option. I have called them on holidays and weekends....always get a call right back. They show up on time and clean up when they leave. They also guarantee their work....it's rare, but they will come back if there is the need to do so.

Had an old garbage disposal replaced with a new one. On time, on budget, great job. Super dependable and professional. Our go to plumber from now on.

I started to use Pete's Plumbing about 4 years ago when I had a break in a water line and a leak in a gas line simultaneously. They were able to get someone out faster than I hoped and faster then other plumbers I contacted, including one I had worked with for years. They did the work quickly, quietly, and cleaned up after themselves, and everything worked at a reasonable price. Since then I have used them for all our plumbing needs and have been fully satisfied with the quality of the work, the cost, and professionalism of their staff. In fact, I called them again today and that is what prompted me to write this review.

Called them to inspect my floor heater as the pilot was lighting but burner was not engaging. When I set up the appointment they mentioned that it might be possible a total re-build would be needed and they quote that upfront as it is $750. Two men came out and barely spent any time inspecting my heater. They quickly went right to the re-build option and quoted me $750. I explained that the heater lit last year and that I didn't think a complete re-build was needed. They stood by their assessment and I declined. It seemed like they go right to the re-build with customers and don't even put in the effort needed to avoid that. They got my $80 for the service call though. I would not recommend them for heater services.
I called another company who was able to resolve the issue within 20 minutes of actually looking at the unit. No re-build needed.

We've used Pete's for years and did again recently to clean out our drain. They came when they said they would and the fellow they sent, Horatio, fixed the problem, was very polite and cleaned off our screen and door afterwards. Pete's workers are courteous and they get the job done.

They came over and would not work on my plumbing because it is a condo and they said I had to give the board 24 hours notice when I made the appointment they knew they were coming to a condo but did not warn me that if the water had to be turned off for any reason a 24 hour notice was required, when working on plumbing that is always a very strong possibility, then they left me with a leaking valve that got worse and could run into the unit below me. I called several times and begged them to fix it, as it was not leaking before their plumber visited, they said their plumber did not do it, but he did. I then called another plumbing company they cam over right away and turned off the building water without any 24 hour notice as this was now an emergency, one of the homeowners asked how long the water would be off he told them 5 minutes it was a little longer than that but he got the problem fixed at a reasonable price. The supervisor they sent over was arrogant and rude unhelpful. I would never use Pete"" Plumbing again ever.
