The service technician was pleasant and professional. He arrived early and finished the work very quickly. When he finished, the area was clean and the grouting was beautifully done. The office staff that arranged my service were extremely nice and very professional.

Frustrating. He was polite, knowledgeable, but did not come through, even though he acknowledged that the leak needed to be fixed within a week. Of course he said it would be less expensive to do all the work at once, but we can hardly leave the leaking pipe until he gets around to it. I've no idea about price. I did not make follow-up calls. Experience has taught me not to chase contractors who begin by not performing on the bid.
Description of Work: Both plumbing and water heater. Representative appeared, but wanted to submit a bid for the work. More than a week later, no bid, still a leaking pipe; we went to someone else.

Tony was a bit late in arriving, but Diane called from the office to let me know he was running behind. He was extremely courteous and kept the work area very neat. He completed the work in a timely manner and was very helpful in discussing other potential plumbing issues I have and what might be entailed in fixing them. All in all a great experience!

Plumber (Paul) was on time, polite and friendly, helpful and fair. When we had an additional problem with one toilet, the water level in bowl not rising high enough, Paul came back and fixed it at no charge (of course!). Experience with this company, starting with the receptionist and following, was excellent.
Description of Work: Replacing of 3 sets of fill-valves, flappers, and water supply lines to 3 toilets. Also replaced flanged tailpiece with branch extension tube and trap underneath kitchen sink.

I called on a Saturday. The answering service was polite and intelligent; she ascertained that it was not an emergency. Nahman's returned my call at 8:30am on Monday morning. We made an appt. that was convenient to me (an early morning appt.) for one week hence. The plumber showed up on time and put on booties before he came in the house. He provided a color brochure of the models of Toto toilets (the brand I wanted). I selected a toilet. He installed it, it took about 3 hours as he had to make two trips out: the toilet was not standard, and my installation was not standard. He knew what he was doing and did a great job. (I love the toilet, too, very low water flush and fast fill. I want to install them throughout the house.)
Description of Work: Removed an old toilet and installed a new Toto toilet in my second floor bathroom. He did a great job.
