LeapFrog did nothing wrong but this probably will be the last time we will use them. We needed them to replace a kitchen faucet and the new one had a touch sensor (to turn it on/off). Typically they charge by the job but this time they said they needed to charge by the hour. Four hours later the faucet is in but to pay $750 to install a faucet felt like it went well beyond what is reasonable for such a job. Was I paying for his not having a lot of experience doing this? That's what it felt like in this case. Hey, i'm a grown up, I agreed to pay hourly but after years of working with them I think there is a point after which the hourly guy says either "this is not what I do well" or "I'm turning the clock off" so that the cost doesn't get obscene. That is if you want to come back again. It's about doing what fair not just what is legal- especially since we have used them many times before. It feels like this would not have happened a few years back but they have clearly grown and perhaps it's time to find another small company to work with us.

I am upset with LeapFrog Plumbing. They were scheduled for 2 hours and they only stayed for 20 minutes. They did not provide a warranty because I did not want them to install a new toilet. They put some plastic stuff in the toilet and now it is leaking more than it was before. I had to shut down the entire toilet because it does not retain water and it just leaks. We have not been able to use the toilet since yesterday.

Response from LeapFrog Plumbing Inc
Thank you for leaving feedback about the job that was performed for you. It seems like there was a misunderstanding with the time frame given. We give a 2 hour window to arrive at the job, not to do the work. Also, we did not provide a warranty for the work done on your toilet because the technician informed you that your toilet needs to be replaced, not fixed. Therefore, we could not insure that our work would permanently fix your leak because the toilet is old and needs to be replaced with a new one. We did offer to come back out to look at the problem and fix it for free if it was caused by something that we did, but the offer was declined. LeapFrog is very sorry to hear that your toilet is now leaking again, and we would be happy to come out and replace it for you. Thank you, LeapFrog Plumbing

I called the company at 2:30pm. They said they'd have someone out between 3:00 and 5:00 that same day. (A for responsiveness.) They arrived at about 4:45. (A for punctuality.) Their representative was gruff. He did not cover his shoes when entering our house. Nor did he come prepared to clean up after himself. Rather, he asked us to provide the cleaning products. (C for professionalism.) The drains are now unclogged. (C for quality.) But, that leaves price. $400 is just exorbitant for unclogging a drain. I've previously paid roughly half that amount for the same service. Had both our toilets and showers not been backed up, I would have found someone else. (F for price.) Overall, considering our urgent need, their promptness and availability outweighed their price. (C for overall.)

Thank you for letting us know about your experience with LeapFrog. We had to pull and reset your toilet to snake the line which added an additional $189 to the cost of snaking the line. Your total bill came out to $390 after a $25 coupon was applied. We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with the price charged and we are sending you LeapFrog Loot that you can use for your next job with us. Thank you, LeapFrog Plumbing

Gordon came to snake the drain in the kitchen as it was clogged. He arrived ~1 hour early. He snaked the drain twice and the drain was cleared. The job was completed under an hour. Gordon came on time and completed the job he was hired to do. Terri came to checkout the old water heater and replaced it. He diagnosed the water heater in the morning and came back later in the day for the install. Installation time was under 2 hours. Terri explained everything and did a through job. Both jobs were done very well. Each technician was on time and professional. They explained what they were going to do and provided a quote before doing the work. I will hire leapfrog for all our future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Hired leapfrog twice in the same week; first visit was to unclog kitchen drain and second visit to replace a water heater.

I got a coupon for the price. They were fine. I was very happy with them, and I’m going to call them back and have them do something else later. I was really satisfied. I guess their pricing was fine because of the coupon. They were competitive with the other folks and not everybody wanted to do that. It was just a simple faucet thing. I’m planning to use them again, as soon as I get my act together.

After writing an unflattering review about Leapfrog Plumbing, the owner called me and apologized for the problems I had with the first visit. He was very respectful and wanted to discuss what had happened to improve the customer service in his company. The owner and the plumber both came out to look at the work that needed to be done and apologized again for the inconvenience they had caused. I was very happy with the second visit and quote.
Description of Work: Leapfrog was supposed to give me a quote for capping a defunct gas line and rerouting two pipelines along the outside of the house. They may reroute the gas line from the meter into the house.

There were two service visits, and the service was very professional on both visits. The second service man was much more knowledgable than the first one and I will ask the second service man to come out again and replace my other toilet after the new year. The second service man also helped me understand the rebates coming to me.

Something went wrong with the job in April and I think they were coming out to fix that work. He is prompt and responsive. He knows his business.

Good response to call for help. Quickly diagnosed unusual problem with faucet and corrected the problem in the most appropriate manner. Tested house water pressure which was way high (110) and replaced the pressure regulator. Lowered quoted price because the replacement regulator fit with no pipe cutting required.

They charged me $224 to work on my pipe. They said they fixed a leak and said they would come back later on to check on soil he added to area to make sure there was no more leak. When he came the second time he said he would need to come back the next day because it seemed as though there was another leak. I followed up with them the next morning and asked when the repair man would be coming over. They told me they would send a different repair man who would be to my house by 9am. I left him at the house because I had other things to do; when I came back the repair man said he found another leak so there was an additional charge of $189. I don?t believe I should be charged for having him come out to fix a leak that was two inches away from the 1st leak he claims he repaired. They didn't actually fix anything the first appointment and they had to come out a second time because the work was never completed. Additionally, he covered the hole with soil which I thought was to soon and asked him if the leak repair didn't need to set before doing so, he said no.
Description of Work: I called Leap Frog to fix a leak and they came that same morning, which was great or so I thought.

Thank you [removed member name] for your input. Please be aware that Leapfrog Plumbing does not charge "trip fees". There was not additional charge for our company to return. We charge by the job, not by the hour. We suggested that the line be replaced in its entirety and it was declined. Please contact us and we will discuss your needs. Thank you again for using Leapfrog Plumbing.

initially called for an estimate on a toilet in my kids bathroom. Terry came out and provided me with a no obligation estimate. I wasn't home at the time, but Terry called me with the estimate. Terry told me that the flush assembly needed to be replaced, but was able to get it fixed temporarily, which was great news. He got the part and called to set up an appointment. Terry came out to replace the part and fix the toilet as scheduled. When the job was completed Terry called me and said that the work was done and because the part didn't cost as much as anticipated, he was going to charge me less than the original estimate. Wow, this was great news. Thank you very much Terry!!!
Description of Work: Took the tank off the toilet and rebuilt the tank with a new flush kit.

I had a terrible experience this company.. it amazes me that they have such high reviews. . The plumber that came from Leapfrog gave an estimate of $800 - which is ridiculous. When I told him this, he said how much do you want to pay? Really?? Is this how we work with trades people in the U.S? I said about $300 - which was my guess as to how much the work should really cost. He said he had to call his manager, then said. Ok we can do it for $475. So just by challenging his outrageous bid it came down by almost 1/2!. I said no thanks. The next day I called Benicia plumbing who said they charge $125 and hour and charge in 15 minute intervals after the first hour. Without seeing the job onsite - they thought about 2-4 hours of work. Their man came out the next day and the total charge INCLUDING some new parts was $307 (so I guess my "gut" estimate was pretty good.
Description of Work: We replaced our counters and therefore needed a new faucet connected, the garbage disposal reconnected and all of the plumbing under the sink put back together. I also need the gas connection to the stove checked to make sure it wasn't leaking (I had reattached the gas line ). I called Leapfrog and scheduled an appointment and when the plumber got there he gave us a bid of $800 to do the work.

Response from LeapFrog Plumbing Inc
I'm sorry you considered our estimate as being a "bad experience". As you can appreciate, LeapFrog does not charge by the hour, we charge by the job and we quote our book price to the customer up front prior to doing any work. Our objective is to provide the best service with no surprises. In some cases we are willing to compromise even at a lost to satisfy our customers and show our intent of giving complete customer satisfaction - we attempted to do this in your case. Our menu book pricing is formulated to take into account all factors in our transactions. This exempts technicians from varying prices from one customer to the next and taking too much time in order to justify more cost. I would be happy to discuss this with you personally and show you the benefits of working with LeapFrog. I am enclosing a LeapFrog loot voucher hoping that you will give us an opportunity to service you. Thank you again for your feedback. Sincerely, Maurice Williams Owner of LeapFrog Plumbing

I selected Leapfrog because they had such stellar reviews on Angies List. They were prompt, professional and organized. The plumber they sent out was great and did excellent work. The old laundry room sink turned out to require a weird faucet so the plumber had to go pick this up. The time he spent finding the part was on his lunch hour....no charge. I like that....no nickel and diming extra charges in their quote. Their prices on both visits were reasonable. Leapfrog will continue to be my plumber for now on. These are really good people to know.
Description of Work: I've used Leapfrog twice now which already makes me a repeat customer. The first trip out they took care of changing out the kitchen faucet, changing old shut off valves, repaired a shower control valve and replace a laundry room faucet. I had this punch list of things that needed to be repaired and they worked their way through the list quickly, efficiently. I then had them check to water heater which it turns out was about 20 years old. I had them quote on replacing the unit with a modern more efficient heater. They came out the following week and took care of this job.

It does not sound that I was not happy with them. I think they charge a lot. It was pretty costly and very expensive. I should have thought applying a sink and put a new sink and if I would have been cheaper than them taking it all off and put it in back on again. What it was is I was having a filling put in. And they needed to take they had to have a sink taken out from the flooring. So, they said we have to hire a plumber and that is what I did. But I have no idea this would cost as much as I did. I would say was eagerly with them, taking it off and taking it back for about $450. I think, I could have bought a brand new sink.
Description of Work: All they were doing was taking the sinks out for me and settle the sink back up.
