Recommended Customer Reviews

I've used Richard's in the past and have been more than satisfied each time. Brad Crossan is an outstanding election...detail oriented, very timely and reasonably priced. I would never consider using anyone else!

Do NOT use this company. They promised to show up between 2p-4p. I had a friend arrive at my home early just in case to meet them as I was working but came home at 2p. I called at 3:30p to follow up on their arrival and they said within an hour. Then I received a call that they would not be out at all. A project is going longer than expected. And they have to reschedule 8 other customers as well. WHAT? You don't call me early to tell me this when you have my number. Now they want to re-schedule and I have to take more time off work without pay and hope they will be there? They don't work Saturdays. You should if you have done this to 8 customers. Forget it, no. Ridiculous.

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.

I went to Yelp to find a good plumber for the Bradenton/Palmetto area. I found and called Richards Plumbing. The office staff was wonderful. They were at my home within an hour or two... sooner than promised. David was my service tech. He repaired the problem. He was very professional, clean and gave excellent service. Problem Resolved! I would definitely use them and recommend them for your plumbing needs. I will also consider using them for Electric now since I now know they do that.

I'm so glad I found this company to repair a 40 year old shower in a half bath. Made an appointment and they were right on time, knew exactly what to do and did an exceptional job. I highly recommend them.

I had a backflow problem and called Richards plumbing to help. They explained over the phone will cost me $99 for them to come out and if I didn't want them to do the job that day. What they didn't explain is that was just to drive to my house in Palmetto. He then took 5 minutes to look and said he couldn't fix the problem I need a septic tank guy to fix. Handed me a bill for $158 for 5 minutes of his time! i expected that $99 would be to diagnose the problem to. I wanted to inform others, you can't make accurate choices with the wrong information.

We have used Richards Plumbing twice now and both times Paul has come to fix our problems. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and does excellent work! Will use again!

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!

They inspected (and did necessary) a repairs to our back flow valve. Reasonable cost and great service.

This company doesn't let you down. They are very fair in their pricing and on time with their appointments. They send the best technicians to your home... very personable, knowledgeable and respectful. Especially PAUL!!! You won't be disappointed in selecting this company!!! I'd give them 10 stars if I could!!!!!!
