I have used Phill's Plumbing on several occasions in the past and once again contacted him once I realized that I had a leaking shower handle. Contacted him at about 9:30 am, sent him a picture (per his request), and had Joe out at my house within 2 1/2 hours. Having sent Phill the picture, Joe had all the necessary parts that he needed to replace the handle. Within an hour Joe had completed the work. As usual with Phill's Plumbing they (in this case Joe) cleaned up any mess and answered all of my questions. Now to be honest, Phill's isn't the "cheapest" company out there but I find his prices to be well "worth it". I will use them again in the future when the next plumbing event occurs.

Drain remains clogged. The cost of continuing to try cutting out the roots verses the marginal chance of actual success wasn't worth the extra time or money. The cost upfront was $197.25 for an hour attempt with no guarentee of success. At the end of that time it appeared further effort would be futile. Overall even though the outcome was what I would have liked the service experience was good. If I have further plumbing needs in the future Phill's Plumbing will be at the top of the call list.
Description of Work: Attempted to clear out a yard/landscape drain. The pipe was root impacted and could not be economically cleaned.

My complaint is not with the work but with the charges. The work on the sink came to over $900. He gave me a $100 discount. It amounted to $400 an hour. I paid the bill because it was my fault for not asking up front what it would cost. The pipe T joints on the cold and hot pipes required soldering 4 small pipes adding shut off valves on each. Everything had been removed so the work space under the sink wasn't impeded by disposals or drain pipes.
Description of Work: Phil does good work and is responsive for which I was grateful because we had a pipe leak under our slab. He cut through the slab where the pipe was leaking, cut the leaking section of pipe and soldering a new piece of replacement pipe. A couple of days later I called him to fix a leak under our kitchen sink the restoration people found when they were removing damaged cabinet parts. The shut off valve wouldn't completely stop water flow and was dripping water, Since both valves under the sink were old I agreed with Phils recommendation to replace them. He had to cut the pipe on one to get the old valve removed. He installed four shut off valves so water to the dishwasher and refrigerator could be independently shut off without shutting off water to the sink. This required cutting pipe and shotering

Phil gave me a rough estimate to 280 ish I called on a Sunday agreed on Monday but did not give me a timeframe said he would call. He called at 8oo am Monday wanting to be there at 830 I agreed at 1030 - After looking at the toilet he quoted 605 i had agreed but realized I could not afford that canceled the project. The tech was not going to charge then he talked to Phil who said to charge 98.50 He did not do nothing. Avoid this person he is a scam. Quotes low to get out there then skyrockets the price

I'm very satisfied with Phill's services. Scheduling was easy, he showed up on time and got the water heater replaced in about two hours. He took the time to explain the process, gave me good inputs on how to maintain the water heater, and was very professional throughout the job. I can't comment on the pricing since I didn't shop around for this job. Overall this was an excellent experience and I plan to call them again in the future.

Will hire again. Phil answered my call right away and got an appointment scheduled. He sent Joe to assist me with my need on the day of. Joe came on time and was very pleasant. My walls are a little challenging to work with, so I decided not to have the mixing valve installed. Joe was very flexible and was quick. The bidet works great.

I highly recommend Phill's Plumbing. Phill was awesome, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely professional. He identified the problem and fixed it! He performed this service neatly & quickly for my elderly parents on a SATURDAY, without inconveniencing them or interrupting their daily routine. We have found ourselves an honest plumber who epitomizes integrity.

Phill's employee Joe came out and did a great job. I had a really hard time finding a plumber who would also drill the hole in the pre-existing counter but they knew what they were doing and did a nice clean cut without damaging my granite counter. Joe even went to HomeDepot to purchase a air gap cover to match my existing kitchen faucet. Thank you Phil and Joe for coming through for me on such short notice. I really appreciate it!

I needed a plumber to fix my garbage disposal. Phill picked up my phone call right away and was able to install a new disposal that day. He was on a job when I spoke to him and he kept me informed of his progress on his current job, and called when he was on his way. I appreciate that! Not only did he install my new disposal, but took extra steps to clean the sink with a pumice and check for any leaks. He was knowledgeable and professional, I will definitely use his services again. So happy to have found a plumber who actually likes what he's doing and takes pride in his work!

Contacted Phil yesterday and he stated that he would contact me this morning between 7am - 7:30am. True to his word he calls me at 7:16am. He's able to arrive within 15 mins and begins work on the the water heater. While doing so he notices some calcium build up on the pipes leading into the water heater. He offers to clean those up and inspect them for issues as well. He spends a good amount of time flushing the heater out and it was obvious that there was a lot of calcium buildup present. He takes the time to recommend a whole house filter system + a whole house water conditioner system. He answered my numerous questions regarding such a system (placement, installation, etc). Estimated price $2400. He explains why I should consider it but by all means he clearly isn't try to "sell me" on it. I appreciated his input and will definitely be discussing it with the wife. Phil completed the flush and as always left the area very clean. It is now that fourth time that I have used Phil's Plumbing and he will continue to be our go to company if we need plumbing needs in the future. Highly recommended.

I would not hesitate to use Phill's Plumbing again. He's expensive but this is a true case of getting what you pay for. His expertise, talent and experience, coupled with diligence and a real desire to do a good job, set him apart in an industry that's rife with slackers and corner-cutters. I would absolutely recommend Phill's Plumbing for reliable, clean, prompt service.
Description of Work: Phill relocated a garbage disposal to the other side of the sink, "un-complicated" some hose installations that were leading to clogs and poor dishwasher performance; and provided some valuable maintenance suggestions. Absolutely THE BEST.

Chris removed the toilet and cleanned up a lot of silicon. He said the wax seal was good but the toiltet was loose because the flange and drain pipe needed to be secured from below because they pulled toilet up when screws were tightened. He reset the toilet, told me not to use it, and cost was $250. I contacted my condo's HOA. Their plumber said it was the seal. I called Phill and explained the situation. He came immediately and agreed that the seal was good but came up with an easier way to brace the toilet without going through the downstairs unit. Chris came back and finished the repairs following Phill'sinstructions. Cost to me: another $250. The service was prompt and professional. Phil resonded right away and explained the fix very clearly. My complaint is that had I been given all the options the first visit, work could have been completed then without doubling the cost. I did call Phill and asked him to discount the second visit. He responded that he would review the invoices which he did not have yet. my charge bill shows two $250 charges for a total of $500. I was notlooking for a free ride for the second visit. Any discount would have shown good will regarding the unnecessary second visit. My low ratings are based on the fact that I had to pay for a second visit when work could have been completed in one.

He answered the phone very promptly. He was very polite. However, he sent out his assistant who said I needed a new bath and shower for $3700. I told him that his diagnosis defied reason as I had not used the shower for 3 days and the water was coming from another area. I called another plumber who was able to diagnose the actual issue which was a burst pipe under the bathroom sink which was 5 feet away.
Description of Work: I told him that water was all over my living room and that water was streaming down from the ceiling towards the middle of the room.

Heading out for Memorial Day weekend, and water starts rising in both bathrooms. Called Phill, and he was very prompt in arriving as he lived close by. We found the location of the blockage through process of elimination, and he was very informative. I even wrote a science lesson about the situation (I'm a science teacher). After a few hours, we were able to clear the drain, and I was able to head out of town. I understood that I'd be paying a pretty penny since I called in the evening of a holiday weekend. It was a little on the high end, but I didn't think twice about it, as I'm sure I was interrupting his plans as well. The family got back on Sunday evening, and water started to rise in both bathrooms again. I called Phill to come back out to fix the problem, and he came within 20 minutes, and snaked the drain once more. It was unfortunate and inconvenient that Phill had to come out again, but both times he was very punctual, very professional, and made every effort to get the job done right. I would recommend Phill's services to friends and family in the future, and call him if I ever run into any issues again.

We have had Phill out to our house about three or four times now. He is responsive, clean, knowledgeable, and his pricing is fair. He helped us solve a toilet problem for my grandma with dementia, and was respectful and helpful. His work is stellar. He will always be my first choice from now on. I feel very fortunate to have found him.

Having used Phill's Plumbing previously and being happy with the work performed, I contacted them again after I noticed water backing up from a clean-out access point in the front yard. Phill stated that someone would call me back when they were on their way to my house and should be in about a hour's time. LESS than an hour later I received a call from Joe stating that he was 10 mins away. Joe showed up and quickly evaluated the situation and informed me that he recommends snaking the main sewer line. He explained how he planned on performing the clean out as well as what he would do if he encounters any obstacles. He gave me a estimate as to how much the job would cost (not the cheapest but worth the price). Fortunately it was a fairly easy and straight forward job. He advised me that I should have it done at least once a year going forward as to avoid major issues. I was extremely happy with the work Joe performed. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that Joe had spent a portion of his younger life in Okinawa, Japan. It just so happens that my wife and I both graduated from the same high school as Joe did. We ended up talking for a few minutes about Okinawa and our personal experiences there. Such a small world. As you can tell, I would highly recommend Phill's Plumbing to anyone looking for a honest and professional company.

I called to make an appointment to replace my water heater. When I explained to Phill why I wanted to replace he told me that it wasn't necessary to replace at this time it just needed maintenance. He explained how to do this maintenance and offered his service if I found it too difficult. He also gave me advice on water recirculating units. I was extremely impressed with Phill and his willingness to help and not push unnecessary services, which he could have easily done. I highly recommend Phill

Smooth, easy and Joe was very helpful and knowledgeable about the problem and the responsibilities of a condo owner and an HOA.
Description of Work: Joe came out within an hour of my call and did a quick diagnostic of the problem. It's a sewer issue and I, being a brand new condo owner and unaware of the responsibilities of the HOA, he explained the problem and that the HOA should take care of it. I called the management company and Joe spoke to them about the problem. They didn't charge for the service call, I'll be a customer for life. I've already recommended them to my son and will call them when I'm ready to do a bathroom remodel. Triple AAA service.
