It was easy to make an appointment and specify a time convenient to me. That was a big first plus. The service guy was on time and very courteous, friendly and professional. He even removed hair from a drain plug from a near by sink to the washing machine. The pipe was not plugged, just the top part of the plug which had hair and gunk. He could have easily added to the charge but did not. More importantly, the plumber checked out which was the appropriate line to snake out before he did anything so that the problem would be resolved with just one visit. I.e., he wanted to make sure that the kitchen line was or was not the right line to work on. It was not. While he had trouble with the snaking process, which caused him to spend more time than he had anticipated, he did not charge me for the extra time because he said it was his problem and not mine. He also cleaned up the muck that unexpectedly flew out of the line and caused a big mess. I was busy in another part of the house and when I came back out to the plumber, he had pretty much cleaned up everything and I would not have known there was a mess. The Angie's discount was also a helpful bonus. I would use Armstrong Plumbing again. They also called and asked for feed back which impressed me. It shows they are very customer oriented and wanted to know the good news as well as the bad.
Description of Work: Armstrong Plumbing cleared the washer line from my washing machine. It was clogged with lint and hair and causing drain line to over flow.

I found them on Angie's list. After the first hour they charge you in fifteen minute increments. I have some other jobs I will be using them for in the future. I feel very comfortable and trust them.

After several attempts on my own to figure out the problem, finally called a plumber. It was a holiday weekend and they were closed, but they called me first thing in the morning when they opened and sent someone out in less than an hour. Came in an unclogged sink in 15-20 mins and cleaned up after himself. The plumber explained to us what the problem was and how we could prevent the problem in the future. Then gave us a 10% discount for using them for the first time. I will call Armstong the next time I have a plumbing issue.

It sucked , no follow through on quote.
Description of Work: Don't know if they do good work or not I never received a quote. The guy who came by was nice enough and seemed very knowledgeable and said the job wouldn't be too tough to complete but once again another plumber in the area came over to my house to give me a quote on a project for my garage and never gave me the quote?! I called their office 3 times to get the quote, it was never sent to me. I checked my email spam filter, made them a safe sender, and put them on my white list for email and I never received the quote. They didn't mail the quote either. I took time off of work to meet the person from Armstrong to get the quote that was never made? So this whole mess cost me money in wages and for what?

He went on my roof and couldn't get through my tube. He said he would charge me for going up on my roof. I asked him to take his machine up there and he said it was unsafe. He gave me the senior discount. My son came over and tried the same thing and it worked fine. All of my pipes were clogged and Armstrong came back again and cleaned it all out. They went through a lot of work and charged me a good amount to unclog my toilets. I would not ever use them again, I know that. The service was OK but the price was not worth it. They came right out when I called them but the price bothered me.

Response from Armstrong Plumbing
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. As you have used us in the past we are certain you returned to us because at one time or another you appreciated our service. Snaking drains from roof tops is a very dangerous proceedure and puts our men at considerable risk. As of the beginning of the year, we are no longer conducting this type of service, meaning that our plumber did you a favor by attempting your drain cleaning from the roof. Most plumbing companies that perform roof top services charge twice to three times the amount we do so we stand behind our resonable cost to clear your drains in this manner. Our plumber explained that there is some other problem causing your backups and recommended a camera to determine the cause. We are unable to gaurentee that the drains will not back up again so in an attempt to save you further cost, we recommended a clean out installation and a thourough investigation of your lines to determine what the backup might be stemming from. We are sorry you won't consider us for future use and wish you well with your plumbing challenge.

The amount was quite high...$178.00...I checked the list and took advantage of a Big deal and had it done for $119. I always shop price in addition to ratings.

Water backed up in sink when disposal turned on. I have a home warranty but to get a plumber from them would take a couple days and I needed it fixed ASAP. Got Armstrong Plumbings name from Angies list and they came that day. Who knew their were rules for disposals. The tech was knowledgeable, polite and had it fixed in a short time. whether or not they are on the home warranty list, I will use them in the future.

We had roots blocking the drain from our house to the main sewer line and water was backing up in our bath tub. He cleaned out that line and also to be on the safer side cleaned out the other line that goes to the common sewer. He cleaned out the other line that didn't appear to be giving any problem but he thought it would be a good idea. He seemed to be very reliable and honest. He was very clear about explaining the problem. He came out very quickly and the people that he sent out seemed to be very experienced. They all knew what they were doing so I didn't feel like they were learning on the job. I guess the reason I chose them was because my experience with the other companies was that they advertise a price and then there is always some little catch to it. Their price was competitive. Their professionalism was right at the top. We've had them out a couple of times before as well and each time I thought that they were really nice, efficient and got the job done right.
Description of Work: We used Armstrong Plumbing on December 23rd to clear out the drains.

Armstrong was one of four companies we asked for estimates. Matthew understood what needed to be done and our goals with the project. Exact replacement sinks were not available but Matthew suggested a modified installation that kept the cost reasonable and would appear original. The estimate was considerably less than any of the other three. Dave was the technician who did the work. He was competent and personable. It is never easy to replace old plumbing but Dave did it well, cheerfully and cleanly. I am very happy with the results, the price and the service and can recommend Armstrong Plumbing without reservation.

It was a great experience and I am completely satisfied.
Description of Work: I recently purchased a house that I am going to rent out. After reviewing the listings here on Angies list I decided to give Armstrong Plumbing a try. The people on the phone were very nice and very professional. They told me my options. and recommended a Bradford White heater which is a top of the line unit. They quoted me a price of $1200.00 installed. I thought this was reasonable as I had purchased and water heater from Home Depot a couple of years ago and it was over $1000.00 so their price for a better water heater seemed reasonable. Their installer Dave arrived a few minutes early. He got right to work. Dave was a great guy and I enjoyed meeting him. He did very good job on the installation. Overall I am very happy with the experience and I will use them again.

I made an appt. They called several times to let me know they would be late. Came later that day. Looked into changing the spout and advised me it would be a really big job and involve going into the wall. I decided not to do this. He fixed the faucets, and we were done.
Description of Work: They fixed two old faucet handles - made them functional again - and explored the possibility of changing out the spout pipe on a very outdated bath/shower. They did good work and advised me well, it was just rather expensive at $200! I would probably use them again anyway because they did a good job in a tricky old bathroom.

Sewer line clogged and backed up in to the bathtub/shower/toilets in the evening. Called Bonney because they did the original sewer line install for the previous owner and called Armstrong because they were the highest rated in the area on Angie's list. Bonney called back that evening but couldn't answer my warranty questions so she pushed my query to someone the next morning - I never hear back from them. I contacted a web-based live chat the evening of the original clog and the agent couldn't make an appointment but put my information through to Armstrong. She couldn't say when I would receive a call however. I received a call at approximately 9:30am (relatively late in my opinion) and set an appointment for between 12 and 2pm that day. The technician showed up at 1:45pm (later than I would have liked, but still technically on time). From there he performed the services described above. Jacob was our technician and he was very friendly and professional. I mentioned that I had called Bonney as well but was wary of them because I've heard horror stories. He mentioned that when he came to the area looking for a job he contacted Bonney and was not impressed with them either. Armstrong was a family owned company and he felt it was a better fit. He did a great job explaining what he was doing and what the potential next steps were. He didn't pressure me to do anything that wasn't necessary and gave me lots of options to consider for the future. For about an hour of work he only charged me the minimum rate and went merrily on his way. I was very pleased with the outcome. The issue was resolved, it didn't break the bank, and I came away more educated about the issue. I will be calling Armstrong again.
Description of Work: Technician inspected the sewer line via flashlight through the access cap near the house and determined that the system was flowing correctly again as I ran water in the bathtub and shower. Hypothesized that the issue was a "soft" clog that cleared itself but wanted to check to be sure. He used the motorized snake to check for any other clogs in the system both up into the house and down into the street. He reported that he ran into something approximately 40 feet from the house cap, near the sidewalk where the city cap is. He advised that I contact the city to have them check their end of the system as well. He also advised that I loosen the caps in both places so future backups pop the cap and leak into the yard and not back up into the house (the previous owner tightly sealed the caps previously.)

First thing in the morning received a call from a tenant at a rental an hour away. Water spraying from kitchen faucet. My first thought. Who do I phone? Not cost effective to send my plumber to a job an hour away. Went to the computer. After a few minutes I ended up at Angie's List. A simple Angie's List search got me to plumbers in the Sacramento area. After reading the reviews I decided on Armstrong Plumbing. Phoned them, they phoned tenant, set up appointment, and fixed the problem for a $90.00 charge. Received a 10% discount as an Angie's List member and it was done. Doesn't get much better. I've used them since for a clogged drain and a dishwasher with drainage issues. They have been extremely courteous on the phone, responsive to the problem and fair enough on the price. I will continue to use them for all plumbing repairs at this rental.
