He was very good. We live in an association community and he is who the association calls when they have something in the common areas. His price was very reasonable.

Three contractor's were selected to bid. Zech's cost estimate was considerably lower than other two bidders (thousands of dollars) and he (John) stuck to his price without any pressure for upsells. (He offered upsells, some of which were accepted, but there was no strong-arming at all.) He performed the work within TWO days, as estimated, including city inspection. The other two bidders estimated 5 and 7 days! Wow. Warranty of work provided was for 10 years. Other contractor's only provide one year warranty. Wow. Drywall patches look great where holes were required to be cut in the wall. Overall, very impressed and recommend this contractor.
Description of Work: I needed a whole-house repipe to replace the boondoggle polybutylene pipe before the same disaster that has happened to my neighbors happened to me.

I called the company on Thursday to come out to replace a sink at a rental property (urgent, but not emergency). I gave them a thorough description of the job to be done. I told them that I had a quote from another plumber of $275. They quoted me $225 to beat that price. I talked to a nice guy. I felt confident that it would be a good job/price since referred by Angie's list. The person (joe?) said that since it was a holiday weekend, they would be gone until Tuesday. OK. Tuesday may be filled with emergencies, and could I wait until Wednesday if necessary? OK. No call on Tuesday. I had to call them. They were then not available on Wednesday. The guy finally came out on Thursday. My tenant had bought the wrong sink so it did not get installed. My tenant said the guy had a really bad attitude (I was not present), AND they now wanted $325 to install the sink (Yada, yada, yada). Too much drama. I will call someone else and get it done without dealing with unfulfilled promises and up charges. They should not do quotes by phone if they will not fulfill them.
Description of Work: Swap out exact over-mount kitchen sink.

Response from Zech Plumbing
This report is inaccurate, we attempted to call this woman on Tuesday without success, we heard back from her on Wednesday morning and given a tenants phone number. We then contacted the tenant and he was not going to be available until thursday. We arrived on Thursday morning. The original conversation Member stated that she had the exact sink to swap out and all the other parts would line up, that would make the job easy. When my man arrived the sink was a different model which would make it a more difficult to install, Member also told my man the day before that the tenant was to pay for the work done. The tenant stated tha she was to pay. My man was there for 45 minutes trying to sort the details out before they could contact Member or she returned calls. Then she added that she also wanted to have us remove an old reverse osmosis system and cap all the old connections, My man told Member that with the extra work involved to make the new sink fit and replumb the drain connections to complete the job was gonna add extra expense. She then became irate with my man because of the extra cost and said if we could not complete the job for the original promise that she was going to go with somebody else. Zech Plumbing makes every attempt to be fair and honest with all of there customers And not change the prices. The fact was that Member purchased the wrong sink which would add extra time and materials. the tenant was a half hour late to the job, extra work was added to the job and figuring out who was to pay for the job , made simple job more complicated. I John Zech was not involved in the incident on Thursday morning and if informed , may have handled it in a different way, I tried to contact Member after she threatened to Give us a unfavorable report without a response.

Leo showed up when he said he would, he worked for 3 hours (well after quitting time) to accomplish all things and reassure me that I could freely run all appliances in my new home without concern. Again, this company was professional, responsive, concerned for my concerns and did excellent work. I hope to never need their services again, but if I have a plumbing issue their phone # is on my contacts list. They rock!
Description of Work: John did initial work on my sewer and was great. His brother Leo came back to the house to check the washing machine, dishwasher and inspect under the house. Had to clear another clog and refit drain for washer.

They were the lower bid, concrete cut vice jack hammer, repaired leak, replaced cut concrete and picked up on that I wasn't thrilled with the concrete work.
Description of Work: Repaired water leak on water line between meter and house under concrete and brick front walk. Instead of just using a jack hammer and leaving the repair of the repair to me, they brought in a concrete sawing company that did a super clean job. After the leak was found and repaired the cut concrete was repaired in an OK manner. When I was called about the concrete repair and said it was OK they asked "only OK" most companies would have ignored the comment and asked where's the check? Instead they came out and agreed it was not up to standard and asked if I wanted it torn out and replaced. I didn't want the mess so they took $100.00 off the job which I thought was more than fair since it was OK.

Once the problem was defined, the installation took very little time.
Description of Work: My expensive three-year old toilet was making funny noises, running at odd times, and the refrigerator ice maker was making a funny noise. I also had a downstairs toilet that needed the guts replaced every other year. I thought these were all different problems. The Zech plumber looked at the toilet and then checked the water pressure to the house. It was almost double what it should have been. The pressure valve was over 20 years old and had gradually lost its ability to work. Anyway he explained to me how these devices work and convinced me to put in a new one. soon. What a difference a new valve made, All water using devices in the house now work just fine. My insurance man explained that most water damage claims resulted from high water pressure and commended me on having it replaced before a pipe broke.

After receiving a shocking $900.00 water bill I had a leak detector come find the underground leak and after he told me his bid to fix the leak ($3200) I called two more plumbers for bids and Zech Plumbing was by far the best bid and the warranty of 10 years was the same as one of the bids and longer than the highest bid which only had a five year warranty. The job went very well and we are very pleased with the work that Van and Doug did. The trenching was very difficult due to many large tree roots and rocks. They worked very hard and accomplished the task in a very satisfactory way and in a very reasonable amount of time. We were especially happy that they tunneled under our brick walkway so that the bricks did not have to be removed (the two other bids said they would have to be removed). The job took two days and we appreciate their conscientious work. Van and Doug were very personable and I am confident in the conscientious work that they performed. I will definitely call them for any future plumbing jobs!
Description of Work: We had to have our main water pipe replaced from the meter to the house (approximately 70 feet) as we had a leak in the original "Blue bell pipe". Since they no longer make this pipe we had it replaced with type L copper. This entailed trenching, installing the new pipe, backfilling and installing a pressure regulator.

These guys were great at explaining what they were doing and why, they were professional and very responsive. I have complete confidence in their work and would hire them again in a minute if I had any other issues.
Description of Work: Moved into a fully renovated house - 2nd day my shower backed up into toilets and 2nd bath. Home warranty folks said too bad, not covered as there are no "ground level" clean outs. They sent a plumber who snaked the toilet and took pictures of the line for $400. He did not clear the line, but gave me a quote for $1800. worth of work he could do that "might" fix the problem. I called 2 other plumbers for a second opinion who failed to show up when they said they would. Zech's showed up on time, worked hard to clear the clog without digging up my entire yard. They first ran a snake without success through the vent, then attached a retriever, it got stuck. At the end of the day we discussed my options and the cost. They came back out the next day, with more man power and attempted to pull the clog. When that failed, they cut the concrete on a nice angle, dug down to the main line, cut it, removed roots and rags (almost 2 1/2 feet worth). Replaced the pipe, put in two way clean outs, ran a camera through the lines to the street and to the house to check for cracks, roots or any other possible/potential obstructions. Cleaned everything up nicely. I noted a damp spot in the garage the next day near the washer (which hadn't been run) - they promptly came back out and checked it. There is a drain cap there, which burped while the lines were being cleared. At my request Leo ran my washer to check it for me and put my mind at ease. Water sprayed out of the drain pipe, it was too small for my washer hose. Leo agreed to come back out to replace that and promised to run both my washer and dishwasher at that time to ensure they work correctly, and that there are no more plumbing issues.

I had used Zech Plumbing before & was pleased so when I received a huge water bill I supected a leak I called them to check it out. Leo came out the next day & found I did indeed have a hole in a pipe under the house that was causing the problem. He called for help since it was under the house & help arrived. The leak was fixed that day & they also added a shut off valve right by the house for any future needs. I really appreciate the way they come within a day & don't overcharge. I recommend them to anyone who needs an honest plumber
