Claudio was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely professional and cleaned up beautifully. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and use him again.
Description of Work: Claudio excavated and replaced a pipe from our water meter to the "main" for our house in the street. He also replaced our water heater, installed double walled venting on the side of our house and repaired and replaced some of our kitchen sink fixtures.

Although I asked to see the receipts of materials he bought, I only saw his figures, not the cost. I do not know if his hourly charge ($89) was on the same level as other plumbers or not. I thought it was such a small job I didn't get bids I was expecting to spend $250 to $300 not almost $600.
Description of Work: Changed out 2 faucet handler in sink, 2 faucets in shower, plus 3 handler & shower head.

Response from Caravaggio Plumbing
UNFORTUNATELY FOR MYSELF & THE MEMBER, HER JOB DID NOT GO AS SMOOTHLY AS ANTICIPATED. ALTHOUGH SOME JOBS SEEM SMALL ON THE SURFACE, PLUMBING CAN BE VERY UNPREDICTABLE. IN THIS CASE, I WAS CHANGING OUT AN ORIGINAL SHOWER ARM FROM THE WALL AND THE PIPE BROKE OFF BEHIND THE TILE. I DID THE BEST I COULD WITH THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNFORTUNATELY SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ADDITIONAL CHARGES. I AM SORRY I DID NOT MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS, REGRETTABLY THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF YOUR JOB WERE UNFORESEEN.

Claudio showed up when he said he would, and did excellent work. He didn't swear, presented himself well, and arrived well equipped. He didn't disdain my work, cheerfully fixed my mistakes, and freely offered me how-to tips for any future work I do. I will most definitely rely on him in the future. I recommend him highly and have asked our property managers to use him as well.
Description of Work: I'm an avid do-it-yourselfer, so I asked Claudio to inspect and correct a water softener installation that I did.

They responded quickly to my call and scheduled service for the next morning. Claudio was courteous and professional, arrived and completed the work promptly, and his fee was in line with his estimate. The quality of work seems fine and the charge was significantly less than quoted by a competitor.

Called Claudio for info on prices, availability. Was booked up for a good week, but came back to me after a week and a few days. He said it would take quite a while, at least 6 hours to do this job, at $79/hr plus materials. I figured around $500. He came to do the job and after he had finished re-plumbing underneath the tub faucet said that it was more work than he had thought. He eventually charged me $749, which was a lot more than expected, but I have no idea what exactly went into the re-plumbing. He was very courteous and cleaned up the bathroom nicely. I don't know if I would use him again due to price, but he did get the job done.
Description of Work: Replace the entire faucet and head in two sinks; replace bathtub faucet underneath marble service and replace head in wall.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS OF AFFIRMATION. I APOLOGIZE IF YOU FEEL I WAS MISLEADING REGARDING THE COST ASSESSMENT OF THE WORK I PERFORMED. I TRIED TO BE AS CLEAR AND UPFRONT AS POSSIBLE ON THE PHONE AND I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT IS WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GIVE YOU AN EXACT PRICE WITHOUT PHYSICALLY SEEING THE WORK. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PLUMBING WAS OLD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY HELPER AND I WERE THERE FOR 7 HOURS AND I TRIED TO BE AS FAIR AS POSSIBLE TO THE EXTENT THAT I DIDN'T EVEN CHARGE EXTRA FOR MY HELPER. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HIRING US AND YOUR KIND WORDS. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER USING US FOR YOUR FUTURE PLUMBING NEEDS.

I was very impressed with Claudio. He was friendly, had great communication skills, and did very professional work. I couldn't have been happier. I plan to have him back out in a few weeks to install a toilet and address some other issues in our home.

Claudio Caravaggio did an excellent job. During the past couple years, we had asked 2 or 3 other plumbers/handymen to try to diagnose the low water pressure problem and were given a variety of different reasons why it would be a huge job, OR, that they just couldn't figure it out. It only took Claudio a few minutes to find the problem, which was easily solved.
Description of Work: Change shower steam head, try to figure out why there was such low hot water pressure in whirlpool tub, fix leaking sink faucet.

Plumber had to shut off the water to all residents of the condo complex to do the work. Work was done (and water off) in less than 15 minutes, very quickly, with no goofs.

Claudio was able to "translate" The Gas Company's instructions, and gave me an excellent solution to a problem they had created. He was professional, friendly, was reasonably priced, and also had a backup plan if his first solution didn't work with The Gas Company. Luckily for me, it did. He is someone I'd be glad to recommend.

Claudio called me when he said he would. He came over early because he was in the area. He said he did not charge me for materials and parts (??). When I asked what he charged me for he said just coming over. I was shocked to learn that he charges $79 for a house call. But he was here. He's quick and efficient. That's worth paying for. We'll see if it holds this time
Description of Work: I had a leak in my sprinkler system. I used this company before for a leak in the same place but Claudio told me he did not dig down that time and the leak was from a different cause. It took him very little time and so far it is not leaking. Time will tell.

A+. Fixed not only the toilet that wouldn't fill, but stopped it from mysteriously flushing (that had been going on since we bought the house in 1994)! The other toilet just needed a little plumbers know how. Prompt, and responsive. Definitely my plumber!

Claudio was amazing - prompt, skilled and persistant. The problems were not easily resolved, but he kept on until the drain ran perfectly. Plus he reworked all the other plumber's errors. He's our only plumber from now on.
Description of Work: We had a kitchen remodel last year and the disposal had never worked correctly. The drain backed up. And Claudio showed me how the previous plumber had not clamped the hoses or angled the pipes correctly.

Claudio was courteous and informative. He returned my call very quickly and came the next day at the time he had indicated the day before. I have noticed that some prior customers had indicated that his prices are a bit to high, but as this is the first time I have needed plumbing services, I can tell whether that is true or not. I am just happy that the problem was resolved quickly.

I called later on Feb 4th and left him a message on his answering machine, he later called me and left a message apologizing. I called him back on Monday, February 6th, he said he will come in the evening on Monday, February 6th, he never showed up.

Claudio and his helpers were exceptional. They not only knew their job, but they did it with great spirit, overcoming many obstacles along the way. They were on time and conducted themselves politely and with professionalism. What's more, the price was very reasonable...not the cheapest, but not the most expensive of the bids. Right in the middle, which is what you want--a fair price for a job well done.

Unbelievable! We noticed that our water was not as hot as previously -- when we checked the heater we knew why -- it was completely corroded! I called Claudio immediately -- he came the NEXT DAY with a WATER HEATER and INSTALLED it! We had hot water that night. Service is unbelievable. Timely. Professional. Trustworthy. Always returns phone calls --and gets the job done!

We made 2 tentative appointments that he could not keep. We made another firm appointment that he forgot about. He called me that evening and apologized. We made another appointment - he showed up early - did the job in 25 minutes and I was pleased with his work but he told me it was a very easy job and I felt that $160.00 was excessive. BUT he did show and did the job. I would use him again.
