Plumbing Express
Company Overview
We are a family-owned plumbing and gas contractor based in Sarasota, FL. Our focus is on building strong relationships with our clients. We specialize in addressing all your plumbing requirements, whether it’s repairing water heaters, replacing faucets, or adding tankless water heaters. Our gas team is equipped to manage gas leaks, install or move gas lines, and repair gas appliances. We also provide specialized remodeling services to help you transform your home according to your preferences.
Established in 1986, we began as a new construction company that handled warranty services. Over time, we recognized that our previous clients struggled to find reliable service plumbers. In 2004, we created a service department that was met with enthusiastic feedback from our customers. 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. At present, we have 10 service vehicles with experienced plumbers and apprentices ready to meet all plumbing and gas needs. Our dedication to training ensures our plumbers and apprentices continually improve their skills to better serve our clients.
With two decades of plumbing experience and a Certified Master Plumber license from Florida, Peter ensures Plumbing Express remains a leader in plumbing technology. Having taught basic and advanced plumbing for nearly 15 years at the local apprenticeship school, he has educated numerous plumbers in the region.

Recommended Customer Reviews

We paid other $9,000 for a kitchen plumbing repair two years ago and we even bought their 3 year warranty for $600. Look what this company did! They left an old 80 year part in our wall then covered it up. Our new kitchen remodel has been flooded because of that old cast iron piece. Plumbing Expresses refuses to honor their warranty. We were told that we shouldn't of bought it in the first place. They took zero responsibility for their work and we had to pay another plumber thousands to fix it. Look at these picpictures where they put the new pipe into the old.

USE CAUTION!!! This company charges a fee to visit your house whether they do work or not. If they are busy or determine they have to come back, you are still stuck paying the fee even if you need the work completed immediately and have someone else do it. They also seem to be priced higher than other companies and their charges are not uniform. I can't comment on the quality of the work but they appear to have shady business prac and their are a lot of other great plumbers in the Sarasota area that don't conduct business like this.

We had Plumming Express come out to clear a drain. I thought the cost was high at $441 with a first responder discount. All went well until we had another issue within two weeks. We were told it would be $69 for the service even if the problem was under warranty. We canceled the appointment because the drain worked, but only for a day. Once again we contacted them via email, but it was Friday so they were not available. Our warranty expired on that Sunday. When they finally sent someone out they wanted to charge another $548 to clear the drain again claiming the warranty was no longer in effect even though we contacted them prior to its expiration. We tried to negotiate, offering half the amount, but they weren't having it. Seems as if they are just trying get as much as they can from customers without caring to build a client base. Would not hire them again.

I wouldn't recommend them, they charge $69 just to come out and give an estimate, when everyone else will do it for free. I never understand why companies still do this...if you want our business just earn it. They're pricing and service problems I've seen on reviews is pretty much what I would expect from a company that charges a service fee just to come give you an estimate. They try and take advantage of the fact that you have $70 invested no matter what you decide.

I Called Plumbing Express for an outside plumbing leak which happened to be the whole house shut-off valve. When I called, I spoke to a very professional receptionist who set up a time when they would arrive and explained the very reasonable dispatch fee, I might add. The next day I got a text about who would show up and a picture of the person. Plus, I got a summary of his education in plumbing. I always like to know who's coming so I'm aware and secure. The plumber who came was Flavio """"Speedy"""" Chavez. He's very professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. He looked at the situation, explained what needed to be done, and gave me the total price for the repair. I gave the okay to start the job. I stayed with him to watch for my own edification. Don't let the nickname """"Speedy"""" fool you. He took the time needed to complete the job. Watching him start to finish was pleasurable, and in the end, he did a FANTASTIC repair. As for me, My nickname is """"Da Hammer,"""" and I know when I see a plumber (mechanic) doing a fantastic job. I was in Corporate Real Estate as a Watch Engineer/Helper for over ten years for a major telco company up north. Flavio, in my eyes, is an A++ plumber. Plumbing Express is an A++ company. Thank You, """"Speedy."""" Thank You, """"Plumbing Express""""!

If yelp had 10 stars that's what my review would show. I found this company to be very honest/ great customer service/ and a great staff. Plumbing Express keep up the great job and thanks again for all your help.

we Had no hot water and I noticed the red light on our tankless water heater was blinking red. I called Plumbing Express who had installed it 6 years ago and they came out within 3 hours. They talked to the manufacturer and told me it needed two parts and to call when the parts arrived. Plumbing Express charged me $. 223.00 for the visit and diagnosis And then said it would cost $1398.00 to put the parts in to fix it. They came out the next week to put the parts in but it still didn 't work. They called the manufacturer and had two more parts sent.Before these arrived Plumbing Express called and said I had to pay $1398.00 before they would come out and half of $700.00 for their next visit to come back and put the other new parts in. Now I am out $1621.00 with no hot water for 10 days and no assurance that another $700.00 would fix it. They did not care that we are in our eighties and no hot water for almost two weeks. I finally had to buy a new water heater and had it installed by another company who charged less than Pumbing Express. They are too expensive. I do not recommend using them.

Plumbing Express installed a Rheem Hybrid water heater in November, and when a sensor failed the following May, they took total responsibility for the repair under their warranty and the warranty from Rheem. The overall experience was clean and crisp; very professional. Wife and I put 4 thumbs up.

I had an emergency situation on a Saturday. Toilet overflowing and I had a houseful of company. Called Plumbing Express. Took them most of the day to respond. Then I was charged $600 to solve the problem. 6 days later the problem was worse. I didn't have one overflowing toilet and tub, I had two. When I called then back to remedy the problem it took almost 24 hours for them to respond. Beware of this company.

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.
