Leveraging the relationships developed during our construction phase enabled us to cultivate enduring friendships with our clients. In 2005, we identified a demand for high-quality gas services and, through training, built a skilled team. Currently, we operate 10 vehicles staffed with lead plumbers and apprentices to provide comprehensive plumbing and gas services. Our dedication to training ensures our plumbers and apprentices continually improve their skills to better serve our clients.

Recommended Customer Reviews

They came out this morning to disconnect a gas line from our gas dryer and cap it off. Easy as that. I had asked THREE times during the phone call to give me an estimate of how much that would possibly be! No answer to that. They would send someone out for $69 to check it out and give us a price. Well, the price was $290!!! Absolutely ridiculous. And that they couldn´t have told us on the phone...like more or less? No, because they didn´t want to. Send them home.

Plumbing Express keeps you informed. TJ notified me he was on his way and once he arrived, he got right to work. I found him to be knowledgable, proficient and professional in assessing the necessary repair, ordering the part and coordinating the repair in a timely manner. I was disappointed in our regular plumber, Daniel's Plumbing who couldn't assist us until late in the evening and Cool Today Plumbing who had indicated they would, only to call later in the afternoon bumping the arrival time to be as late as 11p, but as a result, I found Plumbing Express who will be our new go to for our plumbing needs. Thank you TJ and Plumbing Express.

They do up front pricing. We had a sink emergency. The employee that came over explained everything really wee. He was professional and really seemed to care about our problem. I think I'll only use this company from this day forwarded.

Absolutely RIDICULOUS pricing. Fees were 20% of my bill. They charge $69 just to come to your house. Additionally, this fee is not used towards work being performed. I had two other fees on top of it. One was in error and only corrected when I called to complain. Work seems fine, pricing is a rip off!!!

I had such a positive experience with Plumbing Express. I don't always leave reviews but they deserve it! From great communication to timely service and at a great value, I will definitely use this company again! They installed two new toilets and a water heater for my home last week and I am so pleased. Thank you Alex and Anthony for your awesome work!! I highly recommend Plumbing Express!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! Unprofessional, inexperienced employees get paid on commission based on the amount they can bill. Inventive Billing after the initial estimate. They make it up as they work. Do yourself a favor, call someone else! My next report is to BBB and Teco as complaints to them receive no response. Disgraceful work, companies like this give the rest a bad name. Be warned

I called Plumbing Express to assist me with running natural gas lines for my new pool/spa. My plumber Alex did an amazing job along with Anthony. When TECO came to increase the pressure, he commented on the fantastic workmanship Alex and his partner Anthony demonstrated with this service. Additionally, they showed up on time and were extremely professional. Martha and Sheri who work in the office were excellent with keeping this multi day service on schedule which included the county inspections. Another positive experience with this company.

This company runs a """"bait and switch"""" scheme and they charge over 700% more than their competitors. They refuse to give a price for services prior to them coming to your home. They will inform you that they charge $70 for a service fee, which seems reasonable, but it's not. They sent a technician to our home to hook up a gas dryer and a gas grill. The technician poked around our laundry room for a few minutes and gave us an estimate of $700.00 to hook up the dryer and refused to touch the grill. We inquired why it was so much to literally plug in a dryer (we already had gas running to the stove and water heater in our home) and he said it was because we did not have the necessary parts. Without parts, they wanted $500 for service. Refusing to pay such an outrageous price, we asked the tech to leave, but he refused to leave without payment of the $70 service fee. Upset, we called the office and asked for a refund but we were told that we could look into TECO's online rebates and then have the service completed and they would apply the $70 to the cost of that service. The online rebates were for new TECO customers to have gas service turned on. We did not qualify because we already had the gas. I called Lapensee Plumbing and asked them how much it would be to hook up the dryer and grill and they quoted us, over the phone with no issue, $98.00. She also said that our """"contractor"""" just called her a few minutes before inquiring about hook ups at our address. (It had to be Plumbing Express calling in doubt of their own prices!) I mentioned the $500-$700 fee and she literally lost her breath and was speechless for a few moments before telling us we were getting scammed. Bad. Giving them the benefit of the doubt and thinking maybe there was some confusion about what we wanted done, I called and I spoke with Scott, the manager about a refund and he explained the job would take the most experienced tech at least a couple hours and they needed special parts for my steam dryer and they wanted to do several """"inspections."""" I explained it was a new build and had just been inspected by another gas plumber just a few days prior upon hooking up the stove and water heater. He then quoted me $250, if we purchased our own parts (a dryer vent). I inquired why the price kept jumping and he couldn't give me a straight answer. Lapensee, who is also a TECO recommended contractor, came out and hooked up our washer and our steam dryer, and provided a part to hook up the grill and was in our home for less than 15 minutes. We paid $98.00. I called Express requesting a refund of the $70 service fee, but they refused and continue to stand by their outrageous pricing. They lied about the parts we needed, lied about the time it would take for service, and tried to charge us $700.00 for a $98.00 service, then had their management staff back it all up. We are currently filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and notifying TECO of the incident.

I contacted this business several weeks ago for a plumbing project and they never even bothered to call me back. Must be nice to be so busy.

Worst experience ever. I scheduled a water heater replacement on Friday, I send them pictures of water heater and schedule an appointment on Monday. They called me on Monday saying that they didn't have the heater on stock scheduling for aTuesday morning. I call on Tuesday at 12.30 for an update and Lisa tells me that they are very busy and recommends me to find another company. Can you believe this service? I'm still in shock for their lack of professionalism... stay away
