I called early this morning for the toilet leak and Luis came mid morning. Service was great. He took care of my emergency leaky toilet plus other plumbing issues that I had never gotten around to fixing. Work was excellent and I am ecstatic that I finally got everything done. I will definitely call Gary's plumbing again and request Luis.

Clog so far has been cleared and not backing up anymore. Up front he was honest that there was no guarantee this would fix the problem but provided honest information about the process, cost and what the next steps might be if necessary.

Company claims "free estimate" but fails to disclose "free" is subject to limitations. Company refused to crawl into 18" crawl space to diagnose source of leak unless I agreed to pay $125.00 Had this been DISCLOSED IN ADVANCE, I would not have bothered to schedule them and wait all day since no other plumbing company I called pulled this "UP SELL" I received 3 bids for the same plumbing repair job ranged from $2,000.00 -$5,800.00 I paid another company $3,000.00 for an expensive leak repair that this company would not even bother estimating free after I had waited all day for them to arrive. Watch out for the unethical business practice UP SELL~

Here is the feed back , your decision not to pay is no different than my decision not to crawl under your sewage infested house for free since it will involve using a breathing mask and a fully body wet suit I have been trained in how to handle bacterial waste and am fully aware of the dangers & that safety is cheaper than disaster or calamitous latent health issues as a result of failed precautionary measures and airborne pathogens from your fecal waste all under your building ,so yes I would refuse.Its company policy if you pay the diagnostic fee it would go as a credit towards the job in most cases & we would have been happy to accommodate you.Regarding your claim of waiting all day we have a appt window which we give to everyone because we value our clients time this is normally a 2 hour window on all appts and most cases with a 30 min heads up.Regarding the UPSELL you keep talking about it appears you know the cost of EVERYTHING & the value of NOTHING you are the typical cynic I’m glad we didn’t work for , you are the 1 in a 100 I run into occasionally we have put your name and address into our contact lists to ignore as unservicable .The only UNETHICAL outcome is you took the time to write a review for a service you didn’t recieve and you think your ETHICAL & for a person who claims to have been waiting around all day for us to show up another big lie go and get a real job as you obviously have more time to kill than money to spend writing frivolous unsubstantiated claims about hard working ethical contractors

Lou was extremely courteous and professional throughout. Explained summary of charges upon arrival, set the expectation that if anything else was found it may be an additional charge. I am very happy with the cost estimate and level of service provided. I received another estimate from power pro plumbing, they recommended to replace all 3 toilets at $800 a piece!!! Will definitely call Gary's plumbing and ask for Lou next time we have any issues.
Description of Work: Auger one toilet and replace "flaps" on all 3 toilets in house so as to prevent "toilet running" issues.

It went well. They did an excellent job. I think the misleading thing is the way that it's structured. I assumed it's structured all the services like this They give you a very attractive rate to come in and my assumption was that included some actual service. But it doesn't. It really was an assessment. Then once they do the assessment, they make recommendations on what the service is needed, which is also incremental cost. So, I think what has to happen is that in the way it's advertised. I think this is true for all the things you do in this respect, is that these special deals are for assessment only and that the services are going to be incremental costs.

I asked Angie's list for the refund.
Description of Work: We had signed up for an Angie's list special, $100 to have the water heater flushed and some toilet tune-up. When he saw the closet location and the type of water heater, he explained it was not safe to do the job. He was not comfortable to do it. He told me to ask Angie's list for a refund.

Flush improved things for about a week, then worsened. I was told I would be contacted by the owner with information on a water heater replacement and have not been contacted in well over a month. Prepaid the heater flush. Pipe removal cost below; I thought it high for what was done. Biggest issue for me is they add5% for credit

His experience shows in his work and diagnosis. I had another plumbing company ( looked like fresh out of plumbing school plumbers) come multiple times to fix a leak in the upstairs bathroom and they couldn't correctly fix the leak. After calling Gary and him asking questions about the leak we were able to narrow down the problem find it and fix it. Wish I had gone with him from the beginning, it would of saved me a headache. Thanks again Gary!!!

He's polite but doesn't follow through on his promised time of arrival or even on arriving at all. I can't use my toilets or anything else until I have the repair done, so it's been very inconvenient to be left waiting and expecting the work to be completed with no one here.
