Zazzara Plumbing

When Peter arrived out toilet was clogged and was causing water to back up into the tub. When Peter left the toilet was flushing. What happened in between was no bueno.

Admittedly after looking at these reviews, Peter may be your guy for work but for cleanouts I would look for someone else.

As another review mentioned Peter does not display awareness for cleanliness nor respect the home of his customer, at least he did not in our case. He left prints from his sludge soaked gloves on our toilet, washer machine and screen door amongst other places. He used our water hose to clean the snake in the front yard and left the debris on the driveway in addition to not properly cleaning the cement near the drain that he cleaned out.

His language and demeanor of hating the task at hand leaves allot to be desired. Thankfully my children were not around to hear his choice of words as he struggled with the snake he rented from Home Depot or as he failed miserably to get the cover off of the clean out. His incompetence was such that I had to assist and hold the cart of the snake while he fed the clean out and help as he retracted the snake since he failed to rent a unit with a reverse option because it would have cost him an additional $20 to rent. Prior to me helping his elbow was cut open by the power auger because he got too close to the revolving parts.

I understand that quoting a job via phone is not an exact science but by no means do I feel that Peter earned the $325 I paid for the 45 minutes of work he did. I understand he has a two hour minimum but I am not aware of plumbers changing over $150 an hour. Not to mention he asked for a deposit before he began work??? I told him he will get paid upon completing the job, this is not a multi day project nor one where materials are needed. This is not a job where a deposit is required.

Again I see lots of reviews stating his rates are fair and that he did great work. All of that may be true but in my case the process to get our toilet flushing turned south real quick, required me to help and left a mess at our home.

Best of luck!

There are four things that that you should be aware of when calling Peter Zazzara for the job. I had called him to install the pedestals on the washer and dryer and then fix up the water lines.

1. He will not care for the customer's property. He scratched my washer, scratched my the travertine floor, and also broke one of the 4 stands of the pedestal on the washer. At the end, he just commented that ""don't worry"" no one is going to see that.

2. He will be cussing through the job. It almost seemed like he was being forced to do the job, instead of completing the work and making customers happy. If you have children in the house, make sure they are not around. He is loud when he is cussing.

3. He does not give you a receipt. You do not have any recourse if the job fails.

4. He will ask for more money after completing the job. I already gave him 25% more than what was originally quoted. He demanded for 20% over the amount that I have him.

He was not professional at all. I have a high tolerance for mishaps during contracting working. However, his attitude was out of line and something that no one should deal with when you are paying someone to do a job. I would not recommend him for any job.

Had another slab leak & it was clear it was time to re pipe.
Called Zazzara plumbing & Peter picked right up.
No nonsense guy, he came out to the house gave a great bid & finished the job for the price he quoted & on time.
I'll be calling again next time we need plumbing work.

Peter was contacted at 9:00 AM Saturday morning, I had a water heater that needed to be replaced. Peter was at our home within hours and he replaced our water heater. First , he answered his phone, Peter updated as needed, supplied photos and a detailed invoice. I would highly recommend using this company! Peter is a seasoned professional in his field and due to that this job was completed flawlessly. We now have Peter as our reliable Plumber that we know we can count on!

Peter saved the day for me. I had a new shower installed by another contractor who completely botched up the installation of my very expensive German shower system twice. Peter came in knew exactly how to install it because of his years of experience. He's honest, friendly and most importantly knows what he's doing. I highly recommend him and would not hesitate to use him for all my plumbing projects. Thank you Peter!

We called Peter and he showed up on Saturday day to to give us an estimate to repipe our house. He did a great job and finished on time. We are vey pleased with him and highly recommend him.

I have some very gross pictures, which I will use when I take Peter Zazzara to the small claim court.
I don't know plumbing, but I know that our drain should not have overflowed the day after Peter's ""professional plumbing work"".
He came out fast, but left even faster, leaving us a bigger problem. Worst part is, he knew it, but he covered it up.
Can I tell you how stinky my house smell right now? So as my family members?
I would like to have Peter Zazzara to see our place, just a look of what he had done.
Any Professional Ethics?! Where else can I complaint?

UNLICENSED - His work Leaks!!!! LICENSE REVOKED
Mr Peter Zaaaara LIED to us and LIED in his ad. His License is suspended and revoked for 2 violations. He claimed to be licensed when he came to our house, did a horrible job that still leaks, did not pull proper permits, took the whole price of the job from credit card when he claimed he was taking only a deposit. Neighbors complained about his fits of yelling and screaming when he got frustrated. Huge mess - Did not clean up after himself and did not complete the job. Left us with HUGE holes in the walls and plumbing that does not work.
I called the manufacture of the product he was going to install and they knew him right off. They recommended that I not use him. . . Especially since his license is REVOKED. . too late.
I suggest that you DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

I've known Peter for years and every job comes out excellent!!! He is professional, on time, cleans up after every step of the job and a true craftsman. I have recommended him over the years and will continue to recommend Zazzara Plumbing!!!

Mr. Zazzara is complete professional who fixed our horribly leaky faucet quickly and inexpensively. He gave me his honest opinion of how far I should go in my plumbing repair and kept my costs down. I highly recommend him!
