Gary and Jose were very helpful and friendly. They were prompt, available to see me the same day, and took the time to fully explain the problem. I felt that they went above and beyond in solving a long term problem that other plumbers were unable to remedy.

They were quick and got the job done. They were courteous enough, too. I was a little surprised at how expensive it was. We had a clog and it took about 20 minutes to get it cleared and cost close to $200. This may be standard for the industry, so I am not sure I can fault them without getting a comparable quote. But in the end we got everything cleared out quickly and got our sink back. 3 stars means A-Ok on yelp, and that seems about right.

I called Plumbco on a Saturday and within an hour they arrived. My technician was Charlie and he was skilled and honest. My garbage disposer was broken and I also had a stopped drain. The drain was opened and disposal replaced within a short time. Good job!

Great service! Gary told me exactly what what wrong and was super knowledgable about water heaters! I found them on Yelp and saw the good reviews. Glad I did!

I called Plumbco based on positive Yelp reviews. Everyone was right. Gary is quick and gets the job done at a reasonable price. He quotes the job right after he understands what the customer wants to accomplish.

It was a non-emergency and we agreed on a 2 hour window 2 days later. He called half an hour into the scheduled time window and let me know he'd arrive in 15 minutes.

The hot and cold water pipes coming out of the wall under the sink that are fitted with shut off valves were old and rusty. Since I wanted to change a faucet, I thought the pipes could possibly break off during installation.

I told Gary that I wanted both pipes and shut off valves replaced. Gary and his assistant James (also a master plumber) were in and out within about 20 minutes. They were neat and cleaned up any mess made.

I am extremely pleased.

Renovating my old townhouse, I've had my share of plumbing issues, and encountered more than my share of expensive, incompetent plumbers. But I really like doing business with this company!

Gary and his crew are skilled at what they do. And I think their competence allows them to do good work quickly, so they don't have to charge an arm and a leg.
I've hired them to repair existing plumbing, and to install fixtures and appliances, and I always felt the pricing was fair.
Response time is as good as it gets, especially for emergencies.

This is just a well run business.

Gary - you are the best!! personal service with a smile, always there for me and my family. You can always be counted on to help us with our plumbing needs. You've been a lifesaver with clogged garbage disposal (such quick response to service request) and have done a terrific job with helping us replace our toilets (worked around my scheduling needs to get this done in a very timely manner). THANK YOU SO MUCH! You can be sure we will call on you again.

We had a clogged drain that made the washing machine, the pool backwash, and a toilet drain (all on the same line) overflow. I tried fixing it myself by renting a snake from Home Depot, but couldn't. Plumbco was called because of very good online reviews. I explained to Gary what the problem was, and the three places where the water had overflowed. He said it would cost $196.00 to open the line. That sounded like a lot, but we needed it done. Gary and his partner used a big snake to open the main drain, but the 10-foot stretch from the dishwasher to the main drain remained closed. He said opening the main line usually fixed the problem, but he would need to get a different snake from his truck to finish the job. He said he would do it for an additional $98.00. I objected because we had agreed on a price to open the line, and the dishwasher drain was part of the problem I had showed him in the beginning. I said if his initial quote had been almost $300.00, I would have looked for another plumber. Gary argued that if I had to rent two different snakes, I would have had to pay more. While this is true, he is the professional and quoted a price that I agreed to. He already had the equipment and just had to walk 30 feet to his truck to get it. Even with using the second snake they were there for just 20 minutes. I would think being paid at the rate of $588.00 an hour would be enough for anyone, let alone $882.00! Incidentally, I paid $196.00, as agreed.

Update- Gary B. messaged me shortly after I posted my Yelp review. He said, "It is so sad that people like you have to make bad reviews because you could not do it yourself and don't want to pay a professional." Actually, I did want to pay a professional, and good money at that! My review is a factual and honest account of my experience, which is what Yelp is for. Since Gary could not challenge what I wrote, he attacked me instead. Now, that's sad.

2nd update- Now Gary B. tells me he is notifying my employer about my review. Not sure what he thinks that will accomplish, but I don't care for the attacks and threats. Beware, neighbors!

Recently had a bad experience with Nick's Plumbing. So I called Plumbco and they sent out Zack and Gary. They came on time and called about 15 minutes before they got to my place. They even had shoe covers, a plus in my book. They fixed my leaking tub in less than an hour and even gave me helpful tips on where I could buy some fixtures. They had a snake camera and showed me the problem before and after. will recommend them to anyone.

I had a garbage disposal that stopped working and was clogging up the sink and the dishwasher. Not an emergency, but an annoyance. I called one of the other plumbing companies that got a good review here and they wanted more money than the disposal and the installation and all the plumbing work I have had done in my place. So I asked them to leave.

Called Gary over at Plumbco and he and Andy came out within the hour. They checked it out, gave me a very reasonable quote, went right to work, got it working again (saved me the cost of a replacement), checked it a few times to make sure it was working, and then checked the dishwasher to make sure there were no visible problems. Gary then told me what to do if there was still a problem with the dishwasher that he might have missed. He also told me that I had made a nice purchase on the original disposal and that it was a good one that should last for many years.

Overall, I am very, very pleased with Plumbco , Gary, and Andy. They seem like really nice guys, very professional, made sure that they kept my place clean, told me the price and then did the work for that price, and that price was quite reasonable. I would highly recommend Plumbco and will call them again if I need any plumbing work done. I know that one of my sisters needs some work done, so I got a business card just for her. Thanks Gary and Andy. I appreciate the quality service, professionalism, and fair price.
