Description of Work: Had a major main drain blockage, called late in the morning and all was done by 1:30 PM. Clean up could have been a little better but removal and re install of toilet to take of the problem was quick and complete. I would MOST certainly use this company again for plumbing or a drain cleaning.

The problem was that the washer was leaking on the kitchen floor. A knowledgeable and personable repairman arrive. He found the washer was not level and leveled it. He missed the fact that one of the leas was leaking. It took a second visit to repair the problem.

The drains started to back up in both bathrooms about a month ago. I had an accident and was away for a month. Therefore, the clog had time to set and harden. Kelly came out and tried for quite a while to clear the clog from the main clean out. He looked all around the house for additional clean outs, looking under the house for any clues as to why the drain was not clearing. He had to pull the toilet and explained that he may have to bring in his equipment to further attempt to clear the drain. He tried again to clear the blockage from outside and was able to do so. He was very courteous and kept me informed of all he was doing and why. He also explained what I might have to do in the future if this continues to happen again. There are many plumbers in my area but I would not hesitate to call this company in the future. They were very prompt, courteous, informative and the price was fair.
Description of Work: Main drain was backed up and had been this way for over a month. Toilet had to be pulled but, thankfully, cable was not needed to clear blockage. Kelly, the plumber was very thorough, going under the house to see how plumbing lines ran. He explained what was needed and why, in terms that I could understand. Finally he was able to clear the block and put everything back together.

Great. Couldn't have been more helpful. There was a small glitch in the intial scheduling, but that was quickly straightened out. This did not inconvenience me in any way (they came when I was not here).
Description of Work: Repaired leak in my kitchen faucet hose. This was a relatively simple replacement, but the plumber very kindly took time hunting for a part locally. This item could not be found at local plumbing supplies and ended up requiring a special order. I contacted the faucet company and sent for a replacement hose that was paid for my(lifetime) warranty. This required a return trip for installation, but I was only charged for one service call. More than reasonable!

All went very well. The 3 toilets were lifted and replaced with the proper wax rings, reseated and caulked around the base. Very professional and very pleased.
Description of Work: Tim and Josh arrived on time, giving a phone call right before. They were very professional and friendly the moment they walked in the house. They checked out the 3 toilets and removed the toilets and replaced the wax rings on all three with the proper ones. All 3 toilets were completed within about an hour including caulking all around the base of the toilets. They tested and all is well. Also they adjusted 2 of the sink drain stoppers in the master bathroom for a very nominal charge They cleaned up very well and left no mess. I will have to say that these men did a very fine job and I will use their services again and recommend them to my neighbors and friends. Great job Guys, Michael Evans Mountain House, CA .

Josh was very professional and provided several options with pros and cons. He was very upfront about everything and he only did what we agreed on. The quality of his work is excellent, taking his time to do it right. Overall very satisfied with his work. As a side note, this type of problem is very difficult to diagnose and resolve. I spent alot of time trying to research it myself before paying to have someone come out to fix it.
Description of Work: I had a water hammer problem when ever the sprinkler system came on. Josh, the plumber investigated the problem by turning on the spinklers and listening for the water hammer effect on the pipes. He even went into the attic to try and locate a loose pipe or pinpoint the source of the noise. After agreeing to have a air cushion added next to the spinkler lines and replacing the valves with slow closing type (to minimize water hammer (effect). He came back out to perform the work.

We had our 2 toilets clogged at the same time and my husband had tried to take care of it himself. When he had done all he could do I checked Angies List for a plumber to come snake the line. Because of their good rating ,I called Martin's Plumbing and was pleased that they would come out that day. They were very punctual ,showed up at the designated time and went to work to find the problem. He determined that the problem was tree roots up under my house and toilets and that the sewer line to the street was clear. This will probably be an on-going issue as at this point I don't want to take down my tree.
Description of Work: Checked the toilets and the sewer line to the street-which was determined to be clear; so he carefully ran a snake back to the toilets and found some tree roots .

I felt very comfortable with them and they took a lot of time explaining my options. I will be calling them soon.
Description of Work: I called Tuesday afternoon from work and he sent two employees over that evening! I explained what I needed done and they came back the next day and did it. I am making a lot of repairs to my mother's home I bought and the plumbing is 60 years old. They completely re-plumbed my washing machine plumbing and brought it up to current specs. They also went in and raised my shower head by 12 inches (going through the wall above and pluggin the old hole). They snaked my tub that was draining slowly. I will call them again for sure when I have them install my farmer's sink.

This is the second time I have used this firm from Angie's list. Again, the results were everything I hoped for. I think many consumers are hesitant to hire many contractors, but do not hesitate to call this firm. Two young men showed up (everybody looks young to me these days) and they were efficient, knowledgeable and most congenial. I regret that I do not know their names. The stool works perfect, but I am always hesitant to see how it lasts. We shall see. This is a firm that deserves all the A ratings they have on Angie's List.
Description of Work: They replaced a 37 yr. old toilet stool in one of my bathrooms. It was their product that was offered on a special promotion. I do not disagree that my old stool needed to be replaced.

Tim and Josh were great in knowing what needed to be done and fixed the leak, although they didn't put the hose back on to check that part, they did come back the next morning and tighten some things. No leaks now. I will definitely call them for future plumbing work.
Description of Work: I had called a couple of other plumbers, one never showed or returened my calls, one couldn't make it to quote an estimate until the next week. When I called this contractor he was more than happy to send someone the same day to give me a quote on my leaking outside faucet. They were done with replacing a couple valves and pipe and gone within 90 minutes of my call.

I had four issues: a running toilet, a blocked toilet a leaking kitchen faucet and a blocked bathroom sink drain. They cam out and did the work the first time on 10/25. The technician was friendly and arrived on time. However, three days later, I came home and my kitchen floor was leaking water! Mind you the floor in my kitchen in laminate! When I called the technician, he never returned my call. I called the office and they sent someone out the next day. The valve under my kitchen sink was bad and should have been replaced on the first visit. The second technician had to correct the two toilets because now both were running. As it turns out one of the toilets ,upstairs, is not only running but leaking and now I have a huge water stain in the closet ceiling below the bathroom. They did not charge me for the second visit. I have used this company in the past and they have done a terrific job. However, their quality of techs do not seem to be the same and I will not use them again. They are causing too much damage in the house and costing me money.
Description of Work: I had a leaking kitchen sink, one toilet was blocked, slow drain in another bathroom and one toilet that was running.

Response from Martin Plumbing
I will be the first to admit that we are not perfect, and there isn't any good excuse for poor communication. In fact it is one of the things we strive for because we know how important it is to everyone. We hope to get another opportunity to serve.

Kelly was great. Arrived right on time. Listened to the problems and checked out each area before beginning any work. He showed me what he was doing and kept me informed about his progress. The Toilet flow valve I had purchased was defective. He had one in his truck which he installed instead. That saved me a trip to the store! Overall, I was very pleased with everything. It is all working perfectly now.

Called Martin Plumbing just after 4:00PM friday, (After referring to Angie's list and reading reviews and location) ,Told Rich about my problem and he told me that it would be taken care of after his associate Kelly finished a job in Oakdale. About 5:30PM, note this is friday afternoon, Kelly calls that he is about 10 min. out. A very friendly and professional fellow, Kelly had our problem repaired promptly and at a price of about 2/3 less than family had spent last year for same service. Martin Plumbing is now our plumber. Would refer to anybody. Richard Allred,Waterford

We phoned Martin Plumbing to get an estimate on the job, and they (Tim and Josh) came out shortly afterward on that same day to take a look. Both men were personable and informative, and were able to answer questions to our satisfaction. A few days later, they returned and accomplished the task. We are very pleased with the customer service, and the work, provided by this company.

I called Martin Plumbing because one of my toilets had a problem that when you flush it the water would keep running and the other toilet could even flush because there was no water flowing through to the toilet.. I expected to make an appointment hopefully by friday but they were able to accommadate me on the same day I called. So I made the appointment for 2pm that day. This wonderful young man named Tim came on time and he knew what he was doing. He got to the problem of one toilet immediately and solved it just by removing some debri stuck in the filter. Then he tackled the other toilet and solved that problem qucikly by replacing the inside of that old toilet. I was shocked that he was finished with everything in 1 hour. Not only was he professional but he was very honest which was another shock to me. I am so happy that I found a decent and honest plumber. I know in the future should I need a plumber again I know who to call. Thank you Tim. Thank you Martin Plumbing and thank you Angies list.
Description of Work: they replaced all of the inside of one of my toil;ets and fixed the inside of the other toilet without replacing it
