Were able to respond within one day from initial call. They were early for the appointment and called ahead as requested. They gave a bid before performing any work, also as requested and promised. Workers were willing to explain what they were doing as they removed the old toilets and installed the new. They cleaned up well before leaving.

I always call Ray Lusk Plumbing! Have used them for years. I called because my garbage disposal wasn't working. They arrived as promised, and after a few minutes, told me that the disposal was fine, but that I needed anew switch (which was correct - called Staley Electric and disposal works fine!) They noticed, however, that the pipes under the sink were leaking slightly, and showed me. I asked them if the had time to fix the problem. They replaced the piece of leaking pipe, showed me the hole in the old one, cleaned up under the sink and replaced all the cleaning supplies which they had removed to get to the leak. I will always use this company! Very knowledgeable, very professional and very good!

My terminte inspector told me on Friday that I had a plumbing leak under the house, probably from the kitchen area. I found Ray Lusk Plumbing on Angie's List, they were an award winner from the 2009 list. I made an appointment for them to come the following Monday. He found the leak, it was a fitting that was loose and needed tightening. He said I shouldn't have any more problems, but if I did to call him back. HE called me on Thursday morning after discussing my repair with a co-worker. He said he didn't think the repair was good enough and could he come back that day and remove the fitting and replace it with a better one. There would be no extra charge. This is the most amazing plumbing repair story, definitely will use this company again. I even got a senior citizens discount!

It started and ended great. They sent 2 people to do the job which facilitated it being done in a quicker fashion. The lead person was very knowledgable and went right to work on the problem. His assistant did what assistance do, stand around a bit and carry out less skilled tasks The price was high and a handyman said they would do the job a a lower price but I have confidence in the Lusk company and this team. As a bonus, the lead person told me how to do some very simple fixes myself and this saved money. So I am 100% pleased.

It went well. The work was finished quickly. The gentleman who performed the work, Bill, was very polite and professional. In addition to changing out the drain trim, he also told me how to change out my shower handle in another bathroom. He didn't do it himself, so I did not get charged for it but I would not have known how to do it if he had not told me how. So I appreciate his lesson and thought that was nice of him.
Description of Work: Our tub drain trim was discolored and rusted. We had them change it out and put in new tub drain trim.

Bob came to my home, within the 2 hour time frame given. He was polite and professional. He quoted a price for a main line and then proceeded to work. I asked up front about the $25 dollar discount I had gotten in the mail, and yes it would apply to the price. The line ended up being much more stopped up than I realized and it took him more than 2 hours. I figured the price would go up, but it didn't.
Description of Work: I had a stopped up sewer line, actually started when a bath matt disintergrated in the washing machine. It was only half stopped up depending on how much water the house used.

It went well. A leak between the garbage disposal and main drain pipe initiated the call. After several attempts to correct the problem myself and several trips back and forth to Lowes, I decided to seek professional help. My house is 100 years old and any repair can develop into an adventure and history lesson. The plumber explained that over the years different types of pipes and fittings had been connected resulting in some loose fittings and bizarre configurations. The plumber ran into an unanticipated problem connecting the new piping to the main drain pipe in the wall, but overall the job went smoothly. The plumber was very professional and pleasant. I, on the other hand need to go to Confession following two days of cursing the pipes while I was trying to fix it myself.
Description of Work: All of the under the sink piping and fittings were replaced.

It went very well. I think the price was about $86. The guy called to let me know he was on his way, and would be at my home shortly. He came in to replace the pipe under my sink. I could see where the pipe was leaking, so I pointed that out to him. It didn't take long for him to put a new pipe on for me. He even cleaned up the water that ran out of the old pipe for me. He was very nice and prompt with his services. I like that.

The person they sent didn't seem experienced. He asked us to figure out where the leak came from. The estimate they sent us included them tearing out the wall all the way to the studs for $7000, but I figured it out myself with a tube of caulk. They were not good for us.

IT IS THE POLICY OF THIS COMPANY NOT TO CAULK SHOWERS TO REPAIR THEM FOR THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX. WE MAKE REPAIRS WE CAN STAND BEHIND. IF A SHOWER IS LEAKING THEN THERE IS DAMAGE BEHIND THE WALL IF ON A SHEETROCK WALL AS I BELIEVE THIS HOUSE TO HAVE BEEN THEN THERE IS A CHANCE OF MOLD AND NEEDS TO BE REMOVED TO THE STUDS AND NEW CONCRETE BOARD INSTALLED THEN A NEW PAN LAID AND POURED. IN SHORT WE WOULD RATHER FIX IT RIGHT OR NOT AT ALL.

It went well. Johnny showed up early, after calling the wrong phone number, which wasn't a problem for us. Then he sized up the work that was needed. He turned the water off to the house so he could replace the existing connection. All the work took barely over an hour to finish. He even commented about how nice our crawlspace was compared to other homes he's worked on.
Description of Work: Johnny corrected an ice maker line installation. He replaced a broken self sealing valve on a main line under the house. He also replaced the copper tube flared connection and ran a new line to the refrigerator. He checked the line twice to ensure no leaks and flushed the refrigerator's water delivery mechanism several times.

They were extremely friendly, on-time, knowledgeable, and efficient. I have 2 complaints that are relatively minor now that my $150/month leak is fixed, but that did raise my overall cost: 1) The first time out ($95), they thought I had a copper line, so a repair would be possible, but because the line runs downhill, they could not pinpoint the leak without continuing to dig random holes at $100/hr. They suggested I call another company, who found the leak in about an hour, for $300. When the plumbers got to the leak, though, it was galvanized pipe, and the whole line had to be replaced, making the location of the leak irrelevant. 2)Estimated hand digging most of the trench, taking most of a day, but the machine was able to do quite a bit. They finished running the line in roughly 3 hours - which is great - but $2400 for a 3 hour job seems steep. I don't fault them for this - they estimated, I agreed - and it was cold, so I'm sure they were working as fast as possible.
Description of Work: Replaced old and leaking galvanized water line from meter to house with copper and replaced pressure regulator (about 60 feet). Required a lot of hand-digging (but not all by hand) as there are several retaining walls and a very narrow area on a steep hill to run the new line to avoid the gas line.

The plumber told us it couldn't be fixed then tried to sell us a new one. The Kohler Faucet was actually under warranty; we had only had it for five years. My husband and the plumber took the faucet apart (the plumber was resistant to taking apart and kept saying that it was rotted out and this wouldn't work) my husband cleaned it all up and the faucet now works.
Description of Work: Faucet locked up and couldn't move the handle.

WE ARE SORRY THIS PERSON IS NOT HAPPY. WE WILL BE SENDING A FULL REFUND TODAY. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE GOOD SERVICE AND GOOD ADVISE. THE CUSTOMER STATES THE FAUCET WAS FROZEN UP. WE WANT TO OFFER A LONG LASTING SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM, AND OUR TECH THOUGHT A REPAIR WOULD BE SHORT LIVED. OUR TECH DID TAKE IT APART AND GOT IT WORKING. I DON'T THINK ITS FAIR TO BE CALLED UNPROFESSIONAL AND LOW QUALITY. WE GOT THE FAUCET WORKING. THE FACT IS WE ARE THE BEST IN TOWN, SO SAY THE READERS OF THE DEM GAZ FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS. ARKANSAS BUSINESS AND ARK. TIMES. BUT IF SOMEONE IS NOT HAPPY OUR POLICY IS GIVE THE MONEY BACK.

A plumber from Ray Lusk Plumbing in Little Rock came to find out why water was running from my top floor bathroom down the walls of the family room below. After testing the shower that seemed to be leaking, he opined that my plastic substitute for caulk around the tub was allowing the water to leak. He showed me that it was doing so by directing water at the plastic edging. My problem was solved (after I caulked around the tub). He left after 15 minutes or so of this detective work--at no charge!!! He created much good will as far as I'm concerned and got a lot of good publicity for his company with everyone to whom I've told this story.
Description of Work: Plumber did no work--offered an opinion that solved the problem. Left premises. Did not charge for visit. Believe it or not!

I CALLED THE OFFICE TO COMPLAIN, BUT I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM, WHAT COULD THEY SAY? I HAVE THE ESTIMATE, SCRATCHED THOUGH AND ALL IN WRITING!
Description of Work: I CALLED THIS COMPANY TO COME OUT AND GIVE AN ESTIMATE, TO REPAIR A LEAKY PIPE IN THE WALL, BEHIND MY WASHING MACHINE AND TO REPAIR ALL THE DAMAGE TO THE WALL, THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE WATER LEAK. THE MAN GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE IN WRITING, THAT DIDN'T REALLY SAY ANYTHING BUT "REPAIR LEAK".....$1.596.92. I ASKED THAT HE SHOW ME WHERE THE LEAK CAME FROM AND TO BE MORE SPECIFIC ON HIS ESTIMATE, AS TO WHAT ALL WOULD BE INCLUDED. HE SAID HE NEEDED TO REMOVE ALL OF MY COPPER PIPE, ALTHOUGH IT IS IN GOOD CONDITION(DID HE WANT TO RESELL IT?) AND REPLACE IT WITH PLASTIC AND HE DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM, BUT THAT IT WOULD BE REPAIRED AND THE WOOD AND WALLS TOO. THEN HE SCRATCHED OVER HIS ESTIMATE AND CHANGED IT TO $1,996.92, "JUST IN CASE" HE MISSED SOMETHING, HE SAID!!! YES, I WOULD THINK $400.00 WOULD GO ALONG WAY "JUST IN CASE". NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DID NOT AND WILL NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE FOR ANYTHING AND CERTAINLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM.

AFTER I GAVE THE $1596.92 PRICE FOR THE EXTENSIVE REPAIRS NEEDED TO THE WALL AND FLOOR JOIST, TO INSURE THAT THE CUSTOMER DID NOT HAVE MORE DAMAGE I ADDED $400.00 TO INCLUDE NEW WATER AND DRAIN LINES IN THE WALL. THE WATER LINES WERE CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH COPPER. THE DRAIN LINE WAS CAST IRON WITH A CAST IRON P-TRAP, WHICH RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT, CAUSING POOR DRAINAGE AND OVERFLOWING WHICH CAUSED WOOD DAMAGE, AND WAS TO BE REPLACED A PVC DRAIN LINE AND P-TRAP WHICH RESISTS CORROSION AND RUST THEREFORE MAKING A BETTER REPAIR. THE INVOICE READS "REPAIR DAMAGE TO SHEETROCK, FLOOR JOIST BEHIND WASHING MACHINE AND WATER AND DRAIN TO WASHING MACHINE." P.S. THE COPPER TO BE REMOVED WAS IN WEIGHT ABOUT 1 POUND - SCRAP PRICE ABOUT $2.10 (NOT WORTH THE GAS TO SELL IT). WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON HONORING THE ESTIMATE WE AGREE TO BEFORE WE START A JOB INSTEAD OF GETTING A JOB AT A LOWER PRICE THEN ADDING TO IT, RESULTING IN RAY LUSK PLUMBING BEING VOTED BEST OF THE BEST BY THE READERS OF THE ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS AND ARKANSAS BUSINESS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. THE ESTIMATE WAS FREE OF CHARGE.

Although I was given the "We'll be there between 2 and 4" timeframe, Will, the plumber, called to tell me he'd be right on time at 2. And he was, if not a few minutes early. He performed the work in a bit under an hour, was very nice to my dogs who kept poking their heads in to see what he was doing, and was so quiet I could hardly tell anything was going on in the next room. After he finished, he cleaned up, put the drawers back in the cabinet and even disposed of the old faucet. He was also kind enough to check out a few other plumbing problems we want to get fixed, and is going to work up a quote for the three different jobs. Being a first time homeowner, this was a very positive experience!
Description of Work: We had a leaky faucet in the bathroom of our house, and instead of just fixing the leak we decided to go ahead and replace the entire faucet and update the look. Our guy removed the old fixture (which was very old and did not want to come off) and replaced it with the new one in less than an hour.

These men were so professional that they even came in our house and fixed a leaky faucet we had free of charge. They take their work very seriously and clean up extremely well when they finish. Our lawns look really nice because of what they do. We never had a problem since using their services.
Description of Work: They gave us a service contract in which they come out two times a year to both de-winterize and winterize our sprinkler system which covers our half acre lawn. This consists of turning on and off the water, checking the lines, replacing any parts that are necessary, checking the heads in the zones. We have and do ensure the watering stays working properly. If there are any large size repairs this is at a further per price basis.
