Description of Work: Pykles replaced our home's 1960 vintage drain/sewer lines with ABS. We called them when we discovered that water was backing up in our master bathroom's shower. Upon inspection, Pykles discovered that the old cast iron drain/sewer pipes had corroded to the point where they had collapsed into themselves and blocked all drainage from the house to the city's sewer line. Removing and replacing drain/sewer lines under a 1960s home a crawl space with very limited clearance is not a job I would chose to do - never. Pykles did an outstanding job - always making sure that we had a working kitchen drain and that at least one of our bathrooms was operational. They were very professional - updating us daily on what had been done that day, what was going to be done the following day and if the completion date would change (it didn't). For the past twenty years, Pykles has handled all our remodel and plumbing projects - they are indeed our "go to" plumber.

Response from Pykles Remodeling
Thank You for trusting us with your home [member name removed]! We really appreciate you taking the time to review us here on Angie's List as well. The highest compliment we can receive is the referral of friends and family. It was a pleasure to remodel your kitchen and to get to know you and your family personally as contractors. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you in the future. Sincerely, Craig Pykles

In a nutshell, it was a nightmare. We had problems from start to finish. The project was overpriced ,went well past it's completion date. and, was done so badly we had to hire another company to completely redo it. Literally, everything they did had to be redone. While, Mr. pykles will, try to make me out as the problem consumer, the fact of the matter is that we ending up filing with the BBB, CSLB and reporting him to his bonding agency. The BBB claim (pykles is not BBB accredited) was closed as having no resolution provided by the Company. The CSLB inspector's report had the estimated repair cost of the bathroom that Pykles had done at over $14000 ($2000 less than what we had paid) and their own bond company awarded me their bond in it's entirety. I also took them to small claims. We won the case , but since we were able to find a contractor who was able to do the re remodel for roughly the price of the bond, we were awarded a no cash judgement. There's no such thing as pain and suffering in small claims. This whole process from start to finish, including all the legal steps took over a year. If you want all the gory details feel free to look for my review with a web search of this company. Update: I had extensive dialogues with Craig Pykles until he became totally unresponsive. We did let them try to correct the issues with the slab and with the sink for a total of five times. I also asked Mr. Pykles directly to inspect the job for any other issues. This was never done. I hired a different contractor to inspect the work and until that inspection had no idea how bad it really was. It became very apparent that Mr Pykles had no concern about the quality of the work, or any impact that this whole experience had on my family. It was only after my inspection and the threat of losing his bond that any offer was made to do the repairs. By this time, I had absolutely no confidence in them to do the repairs. Again, while I'm sure Mr. Pykles will paint me as a "problem client" I can only point out the duration of the ordeal, the report from the CSLB, the revoked bond and my own personal experience. You draw your own conclusions. The lack of professional ethics and this sense of entitlement that was shown will always be a mystery to me. I can only hope that my review will motivate this company to a higher standard.
Description of Work: I am, unfortunately, very familiar with this company. We hired Pykles to do a bathroom remodel for our new home. We worked closely with their salesperson, Damien on the design, gutting the bathroom completely and rebuilding from the ground up. They were to handle all re plumbing, demolition, installation of tub and vanity, installation of tub slab, drywall installation and paint.

Response from Pykles Remodeling
At Pykles we care about keeping our customers completely satisfied throughout each project. We have been in business since 1952, always maintaining an exceptional reputation in customer care. This was a very isolated case involving one specific sales person of which we no longer employ at Pykles. Additional measures have been taken to ensure we continue the highest quality and personal satisfaction with all of our customers. In this specific project we made every attempt to rectify the situation, unfortunately we were denied opportunities to make any changes. Rest assured, this project is not indicative of the work ethics, quality, and care that we stand for. For any further concerns, please feel free to contact me directly. Sincerely, Craig Pykles Owner

Too expensive. Did not hire to do the work.
Description of Work: Just an estimate. Went out of his way and spent a lot of time contacting bathroom vanity builders to check for measurements for placement of under-counter pipes around drawers and other possible impediments. I would have had them do the work if their prices were more in line with other contractors.

Both bathrooms were completely gutted and rebuilt. The owner, Craig Pykles took a personal interest in the design and construction. He stopped by at least every other week to view progress and check on the quality of work performed. Pykles was amiable to our "oh, by the way" changes and was always able to accommodate our wishes. We?ve just joined Angie?s List, hence the late submission. Since our remodel, Pykles has been our ?go to? plumber. We have hired them to a variety of work, from opening clogged drains to installing a water heater with new vent. We have been completely satisified
Description of Work: Pykles remodeled our two bathrooms - a complete makeover!

No problems or delays; we had used this company before for about $2500 of bathroom related plumbing three years ago. They are clean, have the correct tools, and provide quality work at a price consistent with other licensed insured plumbing contractors.
Description of Work: Replace 1 set of sink fixtures with those we provided, replace 1 angle stop valve on toilet, replace 2 laundry valves.

PYKLES PLUMBING WAS VERY PROMPT TO HELP US. THEY WERE ABLE TO UNCLOG THE DRAINS IN ONE HOUR, AND IT PROVED TO BE A DIFFICULT JOB SINCE IT WAS NECESSARY TO GET ON THE ROOF. PLUMBER ALSO CAUTIONED ABOUT USE OF CORROSIVE LIQUID USED WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO UNCLOG DRAIN SINCE PIPES WERE OLD AND THIS COULD DAMAGE PIPES. WE WERE GRATEFUL FOR HIS INFORMATION.
Description of Work: DRAINS WERE CLOGGED IN TWO BATHROOMS. IT NECESSITATED GETTING ON ROOF TO OPEN DRAINS.
