He went right to work and knew what he was doing. He patiently answered all my husband's questions as he worked. He checked to make sure everything was working properly before he left. So far so good. Everything seems fine.
Description of Work: He unclogged the drain and pipes, rerouted under the sink, and replaced the metal part around the sink drain hole.

He was here on time once we were able to arrange the day, and he worked hard all day and fixed all the plumbing issues we had. The water heater anode had been installed improperly and he corrected that. The old one was disintegrating and clogging up our faucets.

Showed up on time. Took out a puller of some type.A tool I don't have. Took off both valves and put on new ones. They have been on for over 15 to 20 years. Cleaned up and was done in 23 min. Charged me 1/2. Hr plus two valves. If I new it was that cheap I would have had it done years ago. Redoing laundry room. Washer finally broke after 23 years,so thought it's time to be able to shut water off without shutting house water off. Guy was great. Liked him a lot. Would recommend to everyone. A very happy 74 dollars.
Description of Work: Replaced hot and cold water valves in my laundry room they are recessed in the wall. One handle had rotted of so you couldn't turn the water off.

frWe have had a persistent problem with our toilet and utilized another company previously. They did not fix it and we paid considerable more. Tim came out and fixed it for us, and eliminated the problems. He also made suggestions but never tried to sell anything that was not necessary. Highly professional and recommended.

I contacted Tim on the phone about installing a 50 gallon water heater, and he said that he would get back to me later that day. When he contacted me he quoted me at $1262.00 for the water heater and $90.00/hr labor, so I told him he could order the water heater and get it installed. He came to my house three days later and after the installation he handed me an invoice of $1882.00. The invoice added on a $50.00 freight charge and a $110.00 sales tax charge in addition to the price of the water heater. I found this misleading because he quoted me a price of $1262.00. He also charged me $119.00 for miscellaneous connection materials which I did not expect. At no point during the installation process did he tell me that connection materials would be adding to the cost of the water heater, and I was surprised when it was $119.00 dollars. The $1262.00 dollar water heater ended up being an additional $279.00 dollars more than I anticipated and I felt was misleading.
Description of Work: I hired him to install a 50 gallon, direct vent water heater in my California house.

He came to our home to look at two issues. One was the flu off the hot water heater. He can resolve this, but it will be expensive so we are waiting until next year to have this resolved. He gave us an estimate for the cost of correcting the problem. I do not remember how much it was. The second item was the replacement of the kitchen facet. He gave an estimate for that, but obviosly did not have the exact price of the facet. His charges are by the half hour after the 1st hour. This is certainly a reasonable arrangment. He completed the kitchen facet job efficiently and cleaned up nicely. I trust this man.
Description of Work: Replace a new facet on the kitchen sink. The plumbers charge included the cost of the facet. Perhaps his charge was in the normal range for a plumber. I think plumbers charges are excessive.

He was available fast. Did a great efficient job. Very reasonable cost for service. Because I later had it done for about $50 more. Seemed like he didn't have the extra costs of having employees making it more reasonable.

This is the second time Tim Horn came out to perform a service on the water heater, the first time was two years prior, to put on a new pressure gauge. When I called Folkrod Plumbing, I left a message that there was a leak coming from the water heater. That evening Tim returned my call and asked if this was an emergency. I told him it wasn't , that we did have hot water, and the water heater had only been leaking for a day. Tim made an appointment for to replace the water heater the following day. Tim said he would arrive at 1:00 pm and he arrived on time. Tim is very professional and completed the job with the water being only off for 15 minutes. I am very satisfied with work Tim Horn and Folkrod plumbing does. I am very please they use American made products, well worth the extra cost instead of having the job performed twice!! I will always use Tim Horn and Folkrod Plumbing for my plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Replaced old leaky water heater with new water heater. This was the original water heater with the house, 13 years old. Several neighbors are already on their 3rd water heater as the replacement has only last 2-3 years. I told Tim of this and he said he only uses American-made water heaters with 6 year warranties. Tim removed old water heater and replace with new water heater and hauled away the old water heater. From the time time arrived the total time was 2.25 hours. Water was only off for 15 minutes. Very happy with the end product.

It went very well. I called this afternoon and he said he would fit me in late in the afternoon. He arrived after six and went right to it. He showed me what he was doing and explained the options I had, then got the plug out and made certain that it was draining well by using a small power drain cleaner as well.
Description of Work: Tim cleared the drain in my guest bathtub. The pop-up plug resisted all of my efforts to get it out so I was unable to clear the clog. Tim managed to get it out for good, so I can use a simple rubber stopper (and hair catcher) from now on. He also tightened the lid on the toilet in that bathroom, on his own initiative.

Description of Work: Tim Horn, owner/operator of Folkrod Plumbing is a nice guy, clean, & does good work. His price is a little high ($90/hour) but you don't have to have him back because of what he's done. He's resourceful in solving problems and tries to keep his repairs neat & simple.

This job was completed in a timely manner with the problem of the leaky pressure value solved. I am pretty good at fixing minor plumbing problems, but have never welded copper piping. I would recommend Tim Horn @ Folkrod Plumbing and plan on using him for my future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: I contacted Tim on 9/27/2011 and left a message that my water heater had a problem as it was releasing water from the pressure system. I also let Tim know that the copper piping would need to be cut to access the pressure release value. Tim called back less than an hour later and set up an appointment between 1:30 and 2:30 pm the same day. This was impressive!! Tim arrived between the time he estimated and estimated the repair cost at under $150. Within 40 minutes the problem was solved, the repair site cleaned up and the job complete. I asked him his opinion for future repairs and concerns and he was quick to respond with option and recommendations. I would not hesitate to Contact Tim @ Folkrod Plumbing for any of my future plumbing needs!!!

Heard noise on the servie porch, found water pouring out the top of the water heater. Called at 8:00 am, he said he could get here about ten am. I turned off the water to the heater and waited he arrived close to eleven. He surveyed the situation and told me he would pick up a new heater and return in an hour which he did. In order to remove the old heater he had to disconnect the water softener and move it out of the way. Installed new heater to code specs, the old one was not braced, and replaced the softener. The total cost was $813. It is a 40 gallon energy star unit including all connecting materials was $575. $46. tax $214 labor and $50 disposal, They have also installed the water softener, new fawcetts in kitchen and bath. They have alwaly done a excellent job.
