Richard's Plumbing & Electric

I chose Richard to replace a broken water heater because they had good online reviews and a good reputation among longtime local residents. Beth in the office and Jeff who did the install we're both great to deal with. Their prices are competitive and the quality to me seemed top-notch. I will call them again for future projects and strongly recommend them.

We installed a water heater, but the water heater was defective so we had to call reem customer service. It was leaking water. They recommend we call someone local and they will reimburse the fees. (Still waiting on that ) So we end up calling 4 others before calling them. They were super nice , very helpful. Honest and explain everything and gave us a choice to help us out. Transparent. We would definitely recommend this company . We had Paul but I'm pretty sure everyone there is nice. The came out the same day too. We were grateful .

Richards Plumbing has been the plumber of choice for me since 2015. No longer. 7/31/21 my toilet backed up into the shower. It was Saturday, so charge was $464. Recommended a video inspection because roots were suspected in the pipe. 8/3/21 Video inspection done. $383. Said they'd get me an estimate because yes, there were roots. 9/7/21 called and requested estimate. Told both guys on vacation. 9/14/21 Backup in shower again. Charge: $218.90 to clear. I told the technician I hoped he'd had a good vacation. He said, 'I haven't been on vacation."""" 9/20/21 Called and asked when I would get an estimate. Said I'd hear that day I've never heard back. I hired another plumbing company to do the work. And in searching for that vendor two plumbing companies did a video inspection for FREE. And I was told they never charge a customer for work caused by their not having completed the job yet. I wrote the President of Richard's Plumbing about a month ago. Haven't heard back.

3rd time I've used Richards. First time the guy put in a disposer and replaced some pipes. He was solid. He did the job and was adequate. The last two times I had Greg and Slava and they both were excellent. taking care of faucets and plumbing I'd ask for these two. Slava did really excellent work in both bathrooms. Same with Greg in iny kitchen which was a diffcukt job. Very efficient. Both are nice guys too.

Charlie was AWESOME during the time he was here at my Condo in River Strand. We became Great Friends, despite WYNDI, my 15 year Mini Dachshund BARKY so loud during the time Charlie was here! Such a SUPERSTAR, Charlie needed to Drive back to His HQ to get the necessary Part for my STROBE Light, that had blown out in my Kitchen! I have 4 that look the same. With 1 Blown Out, very little light left in my Kitchen! As an additional Favor, my Microwave Lights, had burnt out, so Charlie got 1 out, and stopped at my local Home Depot, and bought 2 of the same! So Charlie completed not just ONE Job for Me, but 2 Today! Such a Wonderful Professional, High Class Team Member, You Have In Charlie! Working With You On The Electrician Side! I Am So PROUD OF Charlie and Richard's Plumbing and Electric, Inc. It is wonderful dealing with a Company that hires Experienced Employees to do such Technical Jobs as Plumbing & Electricians! Both require Highly Skilled Employees! Many Thanks for sending My Friend Charlie to me Today! Anne Escott Lachowicz

Paul and Erickson came out very quickly, they were excellent solved the leaking in my shower. i thought it was going to take days, and was stressed. BUT it took an hour with lots of laughs and informative conversations about was wrong and how it has been fixed. I appreciate the fact that they cleaned up after themselves and were very pleasant to work with!

This company did plumbing and electric and various jobs around Sarasota. Sent me a 42 page bill with no explanations and refused to finish the job unless they were first paid. Had to hire another electrical company to finish one of the jobs but after spending thousands with them they realized it was so bad it would never be able to pass final inspection. Richards then made false accusations to the state saying that we did the electrical ourselves and is currently trying to sue for payment of this disgusting work that ruined my reputation with my customers. I have signed affidavits from contractor witnesses, testimony, and many many Photos of this disgusting work. Run away from these people.

Horrible experience even after being referred by a friend of the owner. Requested to have a toilet & shower head installed with our parts & a washer drain cleared. Came home to different parts being installed in our shower & a lame excuse as to why he could not fulfill our request. Was quoted a price that came in 10% higher when he was done & we still did not have what we requested. Went to leave for dinner & found our entire laundry room flooded due to their """"plumber"""" not reinserting the drain tube back into the drain pipe. That was day one. The next day they returned to correct what they messed up the first day & tried to charge us an additional 425$ for what was supposed to be already done. Upon completing that, their """"plumber"""" turned the water back on & flooded out master bedroom closet because apparently he failed to put glue on a fitting. To top it all off, I went to shower the next day & didn't have the pressure we were expecting. I removed the shower head & found the inside filled w/ debris from inside the line. I removed what appeared to be pebbles & plastic tape from inside the shower head & the pressure was acceptable. I would not recommend this company due to their incompetence, failure to apologize, trying to charge us again, & no offer of any kind to reimburse us for our time & frustration we went through due to their incompetence & unprofessional-ism. Should have just done it myself to start with. FOLLOW UP FROM RESPONSE FROM OWNER Tried to call them twice, both times put on hold & advised that someone would call me back shortly. NO CALL, NO RESPONSE. OBVIOUSLY JUST PUTTING ON A SHOW FOR SOCIAL MEDIA. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR & CALL A PROFESSIONAL!!!
