I called in around 8:00am on Friday and was told that they are all booked till the following Monday. I asked if they could squeeze me in somehow during the day before the weekend, because I hate having to spend the weekend with floating food debris in my kitchen sink. They said they would try to accomodate me, but no guarantee. Around 10:00am, I got a call that Georges could drop by and fix it for me in about 1/2 hour. Georges did drop by on-time and completed the job within 1/2 hour. He also explained to me what is going on with the clog as well as taking care of not getting my brand-new carpet dirty and cleaning up everything before he left. A+ for the service (if there were an A+). Definitely would use them again,
Description of Work: Kitchen sink unclogging. My sink was clogged pretty badly. I tried to unclog it myself with a snake, but the clog was farther down the line than my snake.

I called at 9:15 am on 6/5 and gave the receptionist my information and she said the person scheduling appointments was on another call and would call me right back. At around 9:25 I was called back and they asked if I could take an appointment within the next 45 min. because they had a opening and a driver in the area, so I said that was fine. About 45 min. later Mark knocked on the door. He went into the bathroom to see what was going on and found the flange that was about 3/4 inch below the tile line. He then was trying to figure out his best plan of action. After trying a piece to extend the flange I was told the only way to fix the problem was to cut out a section of the pipe and repipe because they had two 45 degree angle pipes going into the flange. I had already figured on that so I told him to go ahead. He cut and rerouted the pipe between the garage and bathroom, raised and secured the flange, the installed a new toilet I had bought to replace the old one. It took him a little over 3 hours to do and was very professional. I figured he would look at it then tell me that he could do it at a later time, but he came in, told me what needed to be done, and got to work to fix the problem. I was very thankful and will use Armstrong Plumbing on any future issues I come across.
Description of Work: Due to a previous owner putting tile over the old flooring but not raising the flange, the toilet in the up stairs bathroom leaked. When I removed the old toilet to see what was going on I noticed that the tile was approx an inch above the flange and to compensate, the previous owner put two wax rings on the flange. Mark for Armstrong Plumbing came in and had to cut out the old flange, and two 45 degree pipe fittings going into the flange. Repipe a 90 degree fitting in so he could raise the flange to the height of the tile. Secure the flange to the floor at the new height of the tile. Then install a new toilet I had bought to replace the old one.

Contacted Armstrong Plumbing in regards to the installation of a new hot water heater and very promptly received a call back. Set up a date for an estimate within a day. Salesman provided information about hot water heater choices and answered all questions. Labor included in rate offered and appeared to be very reasonable (compared to other estimates). Service was scheduled within the week. Installer arrived on time and had water heater installed within a couple of hours. Very professional and again answered all questions. Would highly recommend and plan to use this company again in the future for plumbing needs.

I called Armstrong Plumbing the receptionist was very courteous, professional and friendly who then quickly got a technician to return my call which impressed me greatly. I soon explained the problem and the tech said to be familiar with older houses like mine and then told me the estimate. The rate didn't seem reasonableNevertheless, I was still a little apprehensive. That is, until the technician stepped into my house. Right when the technician saw my house, he knew exactly where the problem was and got it solved within a short time. I can not express the value of honest and knowledgeable technicians. Armstrong Plumbing is an awesome customer-oriented company! I highly recommend them for any type of plumbing job, be it large or small . I made a fortunate choice in selecting Armstrong Plumbing.

I called on a Sunday morning. Answering service was very courteous and arranged for an emergency technician to return call my call within 15 minutes. Jacob was friendly and professional over the phone and explained the likely problem and estimates. However, with a 16-year old heater already past its prime, he suggested we might be better served by waiting until the next day and consider replacing the unit rather than incur the cost of an emergency visit. I explained we had already been planning to replace the heater but were exploring alternatives and were hoping a quick fix would buy us some time. Jacob arrived right on time 45 minutes later and proceeded to diagnose. The problem wasn't as simple as anticipated -- needing a new valve/thermostat as well as a bad thermocouple. It was clear that we could buy a new unit for the cost of a complete repair. Jacob exercised some creativity and was able to work up a temporary solution so we have hot water while we evaluate our replacement options. Was able to get us back up again within 30 minutes. While the $165 rate may seem a bit high for a 30 minute call, this is the minimum charge for an emergency call on Sunday. Jacob was knowledgeable and quick enough to remedy the situation without going into extra charges. We will be contacting one of Armstrong's estimators to help work up a permanent solution.

Great job, as I stated in service performed. On time, explained how to maintain the unit. Made some suggestion on controlling the temperature on unit. Made suggestions on making the unit last longer. Told me how to know when to change the filter. Very good tips.
Description of Work: Instant hot water dispenser unit insinerator put in with complete water filtration system connected to hot water dispenser. I called armstrong and was going to have them do the whole thing. Ordering parts and put in the two systems,. They helped me figure out what I was looking for. They tried to order the parts needed but it was going to take 3 weeks to get them in. I did not want to wait so long. They gave me the part numbers I needed to complete the job. I was able to get them thorough the web in a couple of days. They helped me though the whole thing in making sure I had the right parts. Then they only charged me labor and a couple of small parts needed to complete the job. They really worked hard to make me happy. I do not think to many companies would have helped me though all of that with out getting the whole job. Good job Armstrong. Great service

Called for estimate on 2/17. Estimator wanted to see the hardware himself and came out on 2/22. Took pictures and discussed the job. Received estimate in about one day by email. Original estimate didn't break out labor cost for reduction via Angie's list coupon and didn't include the fact that I was supplying the faucets. Estimator corrected the lapses and work was performed on 3/8/2012. All clean and professional and what I asked for and wanted

I had to replace all the plumbing both inside and outside my older home. Armstrong was prompt, professional and stuck to their original quote even though my backyard required two days of digging through hard clay in 100+ degree weather! They've since been out whenever I've clogged a drain and have remained so professional and helpful. One of my biggest fears with buying a home was that I wouldn't be able to find a reliable and trustworthy plumbing service, Armstrong has more than relieved that fear and I'm so glad I was referred to them! I couldn't recommend them more highly for any plumbing job, large or small.

We had a problem with a toilet and called Armstrong Plumbing late yesterday. They were friendly, professional and scheduled an appointment for this morning. Peter was prompt, professional and very knowledgeable. I should also add that he was patient & kind while putting up with our small, crazy dog that thought he had come to play with her. The toilet is fixed and his cleanup was perfection. Peter also noticed our large tile bathtub wasn't being used and advised to at least run water from time to time to avoid a problem with sewer gases. That is further proof that Armstrong Plumbing will send out a true professional that actually cares about the customer. From the moment Peter arrived we new we had made a wise choice in selecting Armstrong Plumbing. There is a reason they are one of the top plumbing companies on Angie's List (not for alphabetical reasons). If there was an option for an A+ rating I would give it to Armstrong Plumbing and Peter! Great service both in plumbing and Customer Care.

Beware! I was not warned it would cost $110 the minute the Armstrong guy walked in the door. And I should have been told. If I had been told, I would not have hired them. This is more than most Sacramento plumbers charge. It is about what many Sacramento doctoral level therapists charge. The nice man looked at the wetness from the leak, pulled out the sink "snake" faucet and screwed a loose fastener/connector tight. It was thus "repaired" in less than five minutes. Then he announced he was going to "check" everything. So he could write down he was there longer? Since I had the Angie's List 10% discount coupon, I paid $99.

Response from Armstrong Plumbing
We are truly sorry that we have some how disappointed you with our service. We make no excuses for our rates. They are higher than some yet much more modest that many. We have learned over our 47 years of being in business that it is far better to offer a slightly more expensive, quality service and explain our prices every once in a while than to skimp and live with a reputation for poor quality forever or to have to lay off our employee's and close our doors because we were unable to pay our bills. We set our prices in order to keep one dime our of every dollar after taxes. We think that's fair. Our prices are based on our costs. Out of every dollar we charge, we must pay for: our tech's salary, workers comp, social security, medical benefits, uniforms, training, time it takes to drive to your home, tools, trucks finance charges for the inventory we carry, telephone lines, telephone system, someone to answer and dispatch the tech, overhead and benefits for office personnel, computers, software, tax services, legal services, after hour answering service, yellow page and internet advertising, membership in professional trade organizations, people to fill out dozens of forms and reports for gov.t regulators, gas, insurance for the trucks, business insurance, state licensing, accounting, billing, taxes, and much, much more. It costs a lot of money to run an organization that is prepared to respond rapidly for people like yourself who call us in a crisis. Yes, there are some in the community that charge less. There are some that HIRE less qualified personnel, who make lots of mistakes and must go back and correct them. There's are some that do not train their workforce to keep them up to speed with current codes and practices. There are some that drive beat-up old trucks, which will leak oil all over your driveway or in front of your home. There are some that do not conduct background checks on their employee's or perform drug tests to ensure that you won't have to worry about a service technician returning at night to rob you to support a drug habit. (a real problem in our industry.) There are some that do not carry the proper level of insurance to protect you in the event of a catastrophe. There are some that cut a lot of corners. When you called us, you may NOT have wanted the quality of service and level of protection we offer. You did want our speed of response, however. The problem is that quality of service, level of protection, and speed of response come together as a package. We can't break them apart or isolate one aspect of our service from another. I hope we have offered an explanation and that you have a better understanding than you did when we presented you with the bill. Now that you understand a little more about our cost situation, we trust you to do what you believe to be right and moral. We only keep 10% of what we bill, meaning that from your original $110.00 bill, discounted to $99.00 we will be keeping less than 13.00. If you feel you are due a refund we will simply ask you to pay what you think is fair. We hope to be of service to you in the future and appreciate your comments on Angie's list.

Jacob came out and was very nice and professional. We discussed the issues that needed to be fixed. He did everything quickly and discussed different options I could take if I wanted to replace my shower head or the aerators in my two bathroom sinks. Everything was great. We certainly would recommend Armstrong and will use them again if need be.
