I TALKED TO DAVE A COUPLE OF TIMES ON SATURDAY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM AND HOW I SHOULD PROCEED. HE WAS VERY PATIENT AND ENDED UP COMING OUT THE SAME DAY TO MAKE A TEMPORARY REPAIR TO A SMALL HOLE PIPE LEAK IN MY WALL UNTIL I COULD GET AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER OUT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. AFTER THE CLAIM ADJUSTER LOOKED AT IT, HE HAD ANOTHER PLUMBER, ANTHONY, COME OUT AND MAKE THE FINAL REPAIR. THEY WERE BOTH VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS.
Description of Work: .1) A TEMPORARY REPAIR TO STOP PLUMBING LEAK BY CUTTING AWAY 2' OF THE PIPE SECTION AND CAPPING IT OFF. 2) REPLACING THE DAMAGED PIPE.

Overall, I had a great experience with Armstrong. They are responsive, professional, friendly, and reasonable. Peter is now my plumber.
Description of Work: I called on a Saturday morning and left a message. I was doing laundry, and it was backing up into the bathtub. I received a call back within about an hour from the plumber himself. Peter was out in about another hour. This was just before the Christmas holidays, and I was leaving the following week for an extended trip. I bought this old house a few years ago, and I know the plumbing is going to need work. He spent some time digging up the suspected area and showed me the problem using his videocamera. He fixed it temporarily for me, and within a few days, he was back out replacing pipe and installing a clean-out. In addition, approximately a month later, I had another backup in a different area. I set an appointment and forgot about it. When I got Peter's messages, I realized and called him back. After waiting in front of my house because I forgot, he came back near the end of his day and snaked out the offending area. Great guy.

Got professional and intelligent information from both the office and estimator. The installer was prompt and efficient. The office contact was especially good at keeping up on communications, mostly by e-mail. The estimate was sent by e-mail which was easier to read than the hand written estimates we got from other companies. It passed the county inspection.
Description of Work: Removed an old gas 50 gallon water heater and replaced it with an AO Smith 50 gallon with a four year extended manufacturer's warranty (total 10 years).

They went beyond what was expected, and I would highly recommend this company for any plumbing needs.
Description of Work: After we thought that we would need to replace the leaking water heater, Armstrong arrived and was able to repair the existing unit. The person on the phone was responsive and intelligent. The follow-up was excellent with phone calls to be sure that everything was done acceptably. The work was done promptly and well.

Overall we had a great experience with Armstrong Plumbing. I was worried about getting someone to come out late on a Friday afternoon. We also had a company Christmas party to get to that night so we were in a time crunch. I didn't even have to ask them to rush. The whole thing went quickly and efficiently. Shortly after I called, Geoff and Dave arrived and they went right to work. They finished in about an hour. I was able to use my Angie's List coupon to get 10% off the labor. I thought the price was great. I also got some good advice on some preventative measures we could take to help us next time this happens.
Description of Work: We had a toilet overflowing on a Friday afternoon at about 3:30. Geoff and Dave arrived shortly after my call and went right to work. They did not have to come inside the house. They were able to unclog the sewer line from the roof vent. We evidently had a tree root in the sewer line.

It was a positive experience. They were timely and professional. They quoted the price up front so I had an idea as to what the cost was going to be. It was expensive. He stuck to the price he gave me. I would use them in the future.

Everything went as expected. All those annoying little things are fixed.
Description of Work: I have two 1950's bathrooms. The main one sees a lot of hard use from 2 college student daughters. I needed a bathroom(s) tune-up. David replaced a faucet (supplied by me) in my bathroom. I was impressed that he got rid of most of the grey calcification that surrounded the base of the old faucet. He also let me know that the flapper I had replaced wasn't working quite right because the chain had too much slack in it (he fixed that). In the girls' bathroom he replaced/fixed 2 pop-ups, replaced a tank ball and made some other adjustments in the toilet and unclogged a very slow shower drain. David was here for 3.25 hours. Labor was $304. after the 10% Angie's List discount coupon. Materials were $81. I only gave them a "B" on price because I "wish" that it had been cheaper. I will use Armstrong Plumbing again, because quality and reliability are what matter most.

Anthony was extremely pleasant and courteous. He actually arrived early, a big plus. I would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: Had a leaky pipe under the kitchen sink. Called Armstrong at 7:30 am and they had someone at my house same day at 4:00 pm. Plumber found that pipe was not installed correctly by my kitchen contractor when kitchen was remodeled (joints were not properly glued together). He was able to fix it in no time.

Wow is Armstrong Plumbing amazing! On the Tuesday after Labor Day, our water heater went out sometime during the night, pouring water all over the garage. We found out with a cold shower. I checked Angie's List and got the name of Armstrong Plumbing. I called them at 8 am and they said they could have someone out as soon as I wanted. I scheduled them for 9:30 so I could get home from work (I'd gone to work because I didn't think I'd get same day service). David arrived a couple minutes early and got to work immediately. He gave me a 3 hour estimate and was done in under 3 hours. He showed me the workings of the new water heater and said to call immediately if I noticed any issues. What great service!
Description of Work: Replaced water heater.

When the original plumbing company I contracted with called that morning to say the technician was overbooked I was furious. I was moving the next day and had called a week in advance to schedule the work. I checked Angie's List and found Armstrong Plumbing and read the reviews and was influenced by the comments that the company would send someone out within the hour. When I called the dispatch person said they could send a technician within the hour. So I was able to meet my deadline of moving the next day and have the water filter system installed in my new home. The green light for the water filter monitor did not work so the technician returned the next day and corrected the problem. I will now use Armstrong Plumbing instead of the other plumbing company what is also listed on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Technician disconnected an under the counter water filter system in one house and reinstalled in another house.

The water flow of our Master Bathroom shower had slowed significantly in a short amount of time. After checking the shower head and not finding any clogged areas, I checked Angie's List and located Armstrong Plumbing which had a very high rating. I called them in the afternoon and they were out the next day, located and fixed the problem and the shower is now working like it was before. Apparently when we had the bathroom remodeled, the fixture we chose had a lever to redirect the water from shower to bath, but we only have a full-sized shower, so without use the lever had begun to rust and clog the incoming water pipe. Armstrong Plumbing took care the of the problem quickly and for the minimum charge. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: The person evaluated the problem, then disassembled the shower fixture, cleaned it, and reassembled it. It only took their minimum time charge.

Great call with the office, "Dave" came 5 minutes early, did an excellent job, explained everything, gave me a few small parts at cost, made certain that I was both happy and that I understood what was happening.

Based on a significant number of favorable reports on Angie's List, I first called Armstrong on a Saturday for an emergency repair on a hot water heater. A highly professional plumber, George, arrived within an hour, installed a new thermocouple under tricky conditions and restored our hot water in time for a family gathering. Two days later, by coincidence, a shower control valve gave out in the late afternoon. The first thing the next morning, George arrived once again and this time replaced a damaged cartridge. While he was writing up the order, I asked about a troublesome toilet in a half-bath. He looked at his watch, saw that there was still some time "on the meter," and said he'd take a look at it. Within minutes, he diagnosed and fixed the problem, all without additional charge(I had originally thought I had to replace the whole toilet). In sum, both George and Armstrong did a first-rate job, and after a number of unhappy experiences in the past with outfits in the Yellow Pages, we've found our new "go to" plumber.
Description of Work: We had Armstrong deal with two separate problems on different days. In the first case, a hot water heater needed repair. In the second, the cartridge in a shower control valve needed to be replaced.
