Vinko Plumbing

Kevin was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive & offered a fair price for my job. He replaced my faucet and it's working great now. I highly recommend hiring Vinson Plumbing!

Dan N.

Very quick to respond and was able to fit us in next day. Quality work and cost. Would recommend!

Alex S.

Needed multiple jobs done and required return work. Always fit me in the schedule. Honest work and reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone.

I needed a replacement water heater and called in the late hours. Kevin and Eric arrived early the next day and worked quickly on the job. I would highly recommend if you are in need of this service.

Kevin was great to work with. Got back to me very quickly when I reached out, provided all of the info I needed, and scheduled time to repair the hot water heater within 48 hrs. I highly recommend his work! He had an assistant with him that was great as well. I don't recall his name, but want to be sure to thank him too.

A+ service !

Kevin did a wonderful job replacing my disposal. He was flexible with my timing and was able to quickly come to the repair. He was friendly and problem solve the issue. Great value for a repair!

This is an honest review after watching Kevin and Eric for about two hours. I am a stickler for robust, high-quality work, and I found the workmanship to be subpar.

I called a few plumbers for the job and found Vinko charging the same price for the Mainline/Bryn Mawr area.

Work they did: installed a shutoff valve, a pressure-reducing valve, and a water expansion tank.

Issues with the work TLDR: Sloppy and in a rush

The old pipe was not sanded and cleaned when joining pipes, which is not a good practice for longevity.

When Vinko cut the pipes, they did not deburr the majority of them. The rubber O-ring on the ProPress fitting can be sliced by a sharp copper shard. Deburring is required according to the ProPress manufacturer.

The pipe-cutting tools Vinko used were extremely dull and bent the pipe, causing fitting issues with the ProPress and additional headaches... requiring ""make it work"" style fitting.

The pipeline was visibly bent when installed. When you are paying top dollar, you expect high-quality work, not ""eyeballing"" and ""making it work.""

(Again, this is sloppy work that may lead to issues in a few years, but not Vinko's problem.)

Please be aware: Vinko uses ProPress almost exclusively. If you have soldered pipes, you need to ask plumbers if they will solder. Nowadays, plumbers want to ""get in and get out,"" and soldering takes time and skill.

Again, I know Kevin and Eric will read this review,

Please do not contact me, Kevin.

I am allowed to give my honest opinion. You enjoy the same rights, liberties, and freedoms as I do.

Quick service requested and received. Super customer service, quality and excellent response time. We had our garage disposal die on us which meant our dish washer and sink were both out of commission late on a Thursday night. Kevin was the first to reply on Yelp and made a plan for next evening with some heads up about possible replacement cost. Even though we had to reschedule for Saturday morning he came prepared for all scenarios even replacing our ancient dish disposal and completed it in record time. We will be keeping Kevin and Vinko plumbing in our phones for the next time we have a plumbing need! Thanks Kevin!

I had a little emergency on a Saturday late afternoon-broken pipe below my kitchen sink. Kevin was not only the only plumber that called me back, but worked with me for a time to get me repaired and our kitchen sink working again the SAME DAY. He responsive, professional, cared for my house like it was his own and and actually followed up the next day with a call to see if everything was still tip top. Will definitely use Vinko again and would recommend to everyone.

Unfortunately, we were unable to use Kevin's plumbing services for a kitchen renovation job. However, based on his visit and estimate, I can say that Kevin's conduct was as professional as can be, and he appeared highly knowledgeable and reliable. He should be high on your list of professionals to consult in the Philadelphia area. Eli.
