Phill replaced the broken piece under the sink with a new one of much better quality than our contractor had installed a year and half earlier. He corrected the pipes that had been incorrectly installed and a few other minor problems. I am thrilled with his level of quality and professionalism. I won't need to look for a plumber again. Thank you Angie's list for helping me find a great one!

We were experiencing hot water in our cold water faucets. I found Phill's Plumbing in Angie's List and called them as they were local and I had seen their truck parked at a neighbor's house. They responded the next day but could not find anything wrong with the water heater, where we thought we would find a back flow problem. After further discussion, I mentioned that we were also experiencing a noise, like a fan in our bathroom, but it was not the exhaust fan. Mike then checked out the mixing valve in the shower and determined that the balancing spool was allowing hot water to flow through to the cold water line. He suggested that we turn off the hot water circulating pump, which stopped the flow through, and get a new balancing spool from the local plumbing supply store as the part had a life time warrantee. The local plumbing supply store no longer carried the line so I called the manufacturer and the manufacturer's representative stated immediately that he knew what we needed and would send the part right out. A few days later I received the part and Mike came out the next day. He determined that the part sent was not the part we needed. So, with Mike's help I called again and talked to another representative who was more diligent and helped us to determine the exact part we needed. When we received the new part, Mike was able to come out the next working day and replaced the problem part which solved the problem. While the bill was high, it did take three trips and considerable time to diagnose and complete the repair. We are very pleased with their responsiveness. And, once we gave them all of the information they needed, they were able to diagnose and fix the problem which was rather unusual in that we have owned 17 homes over 50 years and we have never experienced this problem before.

Phill's has responded multiple time to repair plumbing issues at my home and in my apts. On the Fri starting the labor day weekend I was informed we had no cold water in the vacation rental studio apt. Phill's immediately came out and what at the beginning we though would be a quick repair, turned into something larger due to the deterioration of the pipes, and work done by previously plumbers. Although it was a holiday weekend, they stayed and completed the work. Excellent service. Good communication with workers on site via phone keeping me updated as to the issues and costs. Recommend highly.
Description of Work: Replace main valve to house, valve in shower, repipe portion of house/studio. Older beach house with studio apt on back. No cold water in studio shower. Unable to blow out. Pipes were metal and corroded. Replaced as needed.

First of all I have used Phill's Plumbing in the past and they have always done a great job in resolving our previous issues. The most recent being about a month ago to replace my leaking water heater. With this current issue Phill had Mike at our door steps within an hour of calling him. Mind you, it wasn't an emergency since I were able to shut off the water to that portion of our house. When Mike arrived we discussed how he would try to locate the source of the leak. I asked him about the different technologies that I had read about on the internet and he took the time to explain the positives and negatives of each. Mike laid out his approach and made an initial inspection. He informed me that he would have to cut into the wall. He took all necessary steps to make sure that he minimize the mess as well as protect nearby furniture. After cutting only two holes he was able to locate the leaking pipe. It took him no time to repair the pipe. Since the area below the leak was soaked with water, I asked if he could cut two more holes and remove the wet insulation. His response was an immediate "no problem". He suggested that I use a home grown concoction of bleach/white vinegar/water to minimize possible future mold issues. He also took the time to do a good cleanup job (as much as one can when you cut holes in walls). Needless to say I am extremely pleased with the service I have received from Phill's plumbing. As with most folks on AL I am also concerned about getting the best service at a FAIR price. I feel I get that from Phill's. For those who want to pay the cheapest price and that's all you want, look elsewhere.
Description of Work: We noticed we had the sound of a leaking pipe in one of our walls. We had Phill's Plumbing track down source of leak and repair it.

Phil and his associate were very very thorough. They brought equipment that looked space age :-) They had a sensor and a camera and did a good job of identifying the location of all the drains in the home. They checked and rechecked the locations and made sure there were no false positives. Very personable, professional and knowledgable guys. I would gladly hire them again.
Description of Work: To identify and chart out the details of the underground drains at our place.

Noticed I had a slow leaking water heater on the morning of Oct 6th. Had used Phill before so I contacted him again. He stated that he had a crew that was right down the road (on another project) and could be at my place within a couple of hours. A couple of hours later Phill's crew shows up. They inspect my leaking water heater and explain that the actual tank is leaking and it needs to be replaced. They offer me a couple of options regarding a replacement. They took the time to explain the benefits of the name brand water heater that they recommend (AO Smith). They also was honest enough to recommend the 6yr version vs the 12yr ($150 less & would generally last as long). After giving them the go ahead, they spent about 2 1/2 hours to complete the change out. They did a great installation job and cleaned up after themselves. I felt that their price was competitive. Would use them again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Phill's crew replaced my leaking 50 gallon water heater.

The plumber came to our salon and did a survey of the clogged drains and plumbing. He quoted my salon manager a price of $500 to complete the work. We were OK with that and cleared him to get it done. The plumber mentioned to my salon manager a bit later that one of the pipes looked like it was getting damaged and that it probably needed to be replaced. She said "OK" but wasn't quoted a price -- she was just acknowledging what he said. At the end of the service, we were presented with a bill for around $650 (I don't have a copy with me at the moment). This was clearly quite a bit higher than what we were initially quoted. My salon manager was very irate about it and feels that they decided to take advantage and charge more because she is female...
Description of Work: Our drains were clogged at our hair salon. The plumbers came out and cleaned the drains. They also replaced one section of pipe.

Response from Phill's Plumbing
Oddly enough, even with thinking something unscrupulous had taken place, the customer himself contacted me again and asked us to return and provide still yet more services for his business. I think he must have reconsidered his remarks made on this evaluation. I forgive him. Phill Phill's Plumbing 11/23/11

Very impressed and grateful to find this company. Responded fast, great price and excellent work. I actual used them again today for a shower drain problem; called and repaired in 3 hours....Great plumber named Mike and owner Phill was just as wonderful. I would recommend highly and will used them from now on.
Description of Work: Water leak under the sink and we had to shut off the water. I checked Angies list and called Phill's plumbing because of the many customer satisfactions. I had to leave to pick up a grandchild and Mike the plumber came while I was gone and the housekeeper let him in. He fixed it and left me a bill on the counter for a small fee because it wasn't a big repair. All done when I got home. He left a note that he problem was the faucet and called him the next day to have it replaced. The price was right and the service the best.

Called at 9:15AM and spoke with Phil. Phil was pleasant and professional on the phone. He said someone would be there in about an hour. Jimmy arrived at 10:00AM and got to work. Jimmy kept me updated on his progress and was very professional. He cleaned up before he left. Jimmy took pride in his work and took the time to show me exactly what he did. I would definitely use him again. If my problem wasn't so severe and in need of immediate repair, I might have gotten a 2nd estimate, as I wasn't expecting to spend quite that much money.
Description of Work: My shower/tub combination had sprung a serious leak in the drain and the waster overflow needed to be replaced. Jimmy charged $650 to replace the waste overflow and $170 to a new moen cartridge for the bath/shower valve.

Called Phill on a weekend about a drain line leak. Even though it wasn't an emergency, Phill called me back within the hour to arrange for someone to come out on Monday. The plumber was punctual, professional, and most importantly, fixed the leak. While I would use Phill again in the future, the only thing I am uncertain about is their prices. It seems that $400 to fix a drain-line is a bit excessive but I could be mistaken.

I thought he was too high and too costly. He was here for maybe an hour. He was nice. I had to call a couple of times. The owner came out to do the work. I should have gone with a no good plumber because of the cost. The shower does drain now.

Phill came out within an hour of my call for help just as he said he would. I was desperate as I had called another local plumbing company and was having a lot of problems. I got rid of the other company and called Phill's Plumbing. From my first meeting with Phil he was professional and confident. The workers were here at the appointed time every day until the job was done. They were very clean and polite. They covered their shoes every time they came into the house.
Description of Work: There was an odor in the familly room every time I ran the dishwasher in the kitchen. I had spent a long time trying to find a solution to this problem. Phil assured me he would find the source of the problem and he did. The problem was a broken drain pipe. I had Phill's Plumbing do some extra work while they were. I too the opportunity to have new toilets installed and do some things that needed to be fixed.

I called them mid-morning. Phil answered the phone, was very pleasant. His plumbers were at my house around 1 p.m. that same day. Work took less than half an hour, so I was a little surprised at the cost, but he did honor the 10% discount he offers to Angie's List referrals. I was pleased overall and would call them again.

Phill was the best bid for the job. He worked with my schedule to get it started a week earlier than planned. He and Jeri were professional, courteous and patient with my asking questions. Phill was there for every inspection. Phill found that my drain along the house was pitched incorrectly and took care of that for me (extra charge but worth the piece of mind). As I"m typing this, Mike is back installing a tub fill that I couldn't do after trying for 2+ hours! He, of course, took just 30 minutes. After he finished he offered to set my toilet flange (I think he judged my abilities and thought it best to do the work now and not return the next day!) at no extra charge. He also is giving me a different wax ring that will better suit the toilet I have.I am more than satisfied with the service they provided me. I gladly recommend Phill's Plumbing and encourage you to call when you need help.

Contacted Phill's Plumbing because he was A-rated and close to home. Pleasant on phone and delivered service the next day. Did corrections that were necessary on day of service and provided a list of items we could get ourselves to save money for future more extensive repairs. Definately felt the repairman was honest with us and gave us the best service he could provide with the current old plumbing we had. Will absolutely call them back to do further repairs once we get the updated equipment we need. We were charged only for the service call on day of service, which we thought was very inexpensive.
Description of Work: One toilet flushbox needed repair. Bath and kitchen sinks had leak problems. The toilet flushbox was repaired on site and corrected so it would not continue to run constantly. The bath leak problem could not be fixed due to the age of the sink. The kitchen leak also could not be repaired because due to the age of the faucet. We were given a shopping list to buy the items (new sink and new faucets) ourselves so that it would be less expensive. He quoted a price to install a new sink and faucets which we feel are quite reasonable.

Found Phill on Angie's List and he was very fast in estimating the job over the phone and then followed up with a visit to submit a written estimate. He was the lowest of the three that I received. He told me exactly the kind of faucets to buy, which made it very easy. His crew was in and out in two-and-a-half days. They left us water for the evenings and so we could shower in the morning. The house is quite old, 70 plus years, but Phill handled it with a lot of professionalism and quality work. He kept an eye on things to ensure everything went as it was supposed to. We passed inspection no problem.

Gardeners discovered seepage near main water inflow from street and dug down to leak. I called Phill, who rerouted Jimmy in order to enable me to have water to the house today instead of tomorrow. Jimmy identified the problem, gave me two possible solutions, agreed with my choice, fixed the problem in less time than he had estimated and for less money than he thought, cleaned up, guaranteed his work, and left me smiling. Phill and crew are definitely my plumbers from now on!

They arrived on time, looked at the job and told me, in advance, that the valves were an old style and wouldn't work with the faucet that I had provided. They gave me the price up front, which I approved. They did the work quickly and cleaned up. I had requested that they also repair a clogged drain, but they told me that they flushed the drain with water, it didn't really need to be repaired and did not charge me for it.

I called Phil and almost immediately he sent one of his employees, Jimmy, to determine the location and make the repair. Jimmy communicated with me every step of the way, was pleasant and courteous. He left the area as clean as possible, given a great deal of drywall was soaked and covered with mold. Jimmy referred me to a company for mold removal and dry wall repair. His referral was as professional as Jimmy(but that's another report).
