I recently hired Bill to bring our plumbing up to code and to repair and resurface two acrylic tub/shower surrounds. If you want your property to be as good as new, he is your man. He was professional, thorough, responsive, honest and fair. He is a licensed plumber so can do all of the stuff inside the walls and then is meticulous in repairing and reglazing the bathroom. One of our shower surrounds had started to crack and had been repaired in an amateurish way. I was worried that I'd have to pay for a whole new enclosure but Bill properly repaired the existing unit and it really does look brand new. Not only is Bill licensed, but he carries all of the appropriate insurance. He was a pleasure to work with, excellent at communicating, knows his stuff and did a great job - what more could you want?!
Description of Work: Repair and Reglaze 2 acrylic tub/shower surrounds, replace out of code plumbing hardware inside the walls, install new toilets, hoses, garbage disposal, faucets.

I am absolutely amazed by how GREAT the bathrooms look!! I did not expect such a beautiful transformation. Bill is a true professional.
Description of Work: We are planning on selling our condo and needed to upgrade and improve the look of two bathrooms without spending an absolute fortune. We had Bill come out and reglaze our vanities, reglaze tub/shower, replace old frosted shower doors with glass doors, replace all fixtures and in addition did some plumbing.

Description of Work: Bill told me he would do a tub refinish and a small tile job himself. He didn't, but sent a worker whose work was just average. Bill didn't come and inspect the job afterwards. He was very insistent on getting paid before performing the second part of the job, which I eventually decided to do myself because of a two week gap between Bill's availability. Even though originally he had said both jobs could be done in one day. I was disappointed in his service.

Response from Bill Syms Bath Maintenance
[Member Name Removed] Forgive me for (somehow) not getting back to you. There were 2 periods in December where all of my text messages were blanked out, maybe that was the issue here. Could have also been that working 12-14 hours, 7 days a week (to keep up with all the inquiries I receive on social media sites like Angie's List) that this may have been a job that I just couldn't get too. Either way, everyone here at Bill Syms Bath Maintenance thanks you for (instead of trying to call me) posting my first "F" review on this site. I hope you understand that posting adverse reviews (such as this) has drastic affects on a small business like mine. Keep this in mind the next time you cast judgement (so quickly) on someone who (for some reason) did not call you back.

Billy and his team were great. Billy himself answered the phone when I called to get a quote and her immediately gave us a quote over the phone and sent us an email confirming the price. His employee showed up right on time on the scheduled date and was there all day. They did a beautiful job and our bathtub looks brand new.

The service went well. He did a very good job and his work was top notch. He was very informative and knowledgeable in his field. He was able to talk about his work and materials like no other company I had used for this service. He was great with the cleanup after the job and there were no drips or runs in the resurfacing. His work lasted and did not peel like another company I had used. He was happy to explain what he would be doing and to talk with us. He gave us instructions on how to maintain the tub. He was very thorough and meticulous. It was very easy to schedule the service and he showed up as scheduled. He was great at following up through email after the job. I would definitely use the company again.

It was my first using the company and the service went great. He is very meticulous in his work. He even went out for a special tool so he would not scratch my fixtures. 3-4 guys helped him install our claw foot tub. He is pretty punctual and will show up when he says he will. It was very easy to schedule the service.

Bill opened up my floor in the shower and moved the drain to center and installed a new drain. floor was patched up really nice. he installed the shower valve and added some studs he believed to be questionable. He installed a new valve for my soaking tub and hooked up my sink and faucet. Bill is a really honest guy. He tells you what you need and wont let you waist money. Bill was very neat and clean and showed up on time. I am very happy with his work. The way it looked when he was done was so neatly done, its a shame it had to be covered up. I could tell with out a doubt this wasn't his first or even thousandth job. Very professional workman ship and I will refer him with out a doubt to everyone I know.
Description of Work: Bill was referred to me by my tile contractor. I was told he's also on angies list. Bill came out to do my plumbing consisting of a shower valve, new shower drain that he moved to the center of the shower, tub valve and sink hook ups.

Being on time, clean and caring about the finished product is me respecting your home and your decision to choose me to perform work in (and in your case under) your home.

We were looking to give our bathroom an update but didn't have the budget or time to do a complete gut and remodel on the only bathroom in our house. We decided on a more budget friendly facelift which included reglazing the tub and all the tile on the shower and surrounding bathroom walls, replacing the bathroom floor, and replacing the toilet and vanity for new fixtures. Bill Syms is honest, hard working, punctual, and is excellent at what he does. He takes pride in his work and it shows - the bathroom looks amazing and completely brand new. Even when we discovered 3 layers of vinyl tile under the current floor which involved removal of all the tile and existing subfloor, installation of a new subfloor, and leveling our bathroom floor in our old and crooked house, the project was finished within the expected window and there were no added charges to his already fair pricing. As an added bonus, Bill is a licensed plumber. We were kept updated during the project with pictures and text messages. We are planning on hiring him again to retile our kitchen floor and add a backsplash down the line. Whether you want a small upgrade or a complete remodel, we highly recommend him!

Bill does quality work. He was willing to provide the service on time in order to complete the job on time. Bill is able to determine what needs to be done and do it right. He was helpful with his suggestions on how to install the sink and grab bar as well as the type of shower door purchase. If you want quality work at a fair price you need Bill Syms.

Went as smooth as you could hope for. Outcome of the work was quality. Billy knows his business, thoroughly explains options, and seriously takes pride in his work.

We weren't moved into our new house yet, so Bill had time to reglaze our tub and showers and install new fixtures for us. we couldn't afford a full bathroom remodel, but thanks to Bill we got new looking showers and tub and new fixtures in two bathrooms for less than $2500. I particularly appreciated that he let us save money by selecting and purchasing our own fixtures.

Bill Syms did an excellent job re-glazing our shower! I can't describe how gross our old shower was -- it had become so dirty with mold that it was impossible to clean. The sliding door and tracks were also in horrible shape. Bill came in and in less than 2 days we had a gorgeous white glazed shower and beautiful glass shower door. It totally opened up the bathroom and we love the quality of the work. Bill was on time, charged exactly what he quoted us, and did the work expertly and efficiently. He also replaced the shower head. Bill took the time to discuss future care of the shower and door to keep it looking great. Would love to work with him again.

We had a couple of scheduling issues the first time around but once Billy arrived he quickly fixed the problem. He generously shared his expertise on a couple of issues I had and some thoughts on remodeling the bath. When he looked at an outside leak I was having, he had no problem saying that it was a bit more than he wanted to tackle and gave me a reference to another plumbing company better suited to a bigger job. I really appreciated his honesty and will definitely be using him again!
