The person from L & R service was great! He spent a lot of time in our house, fixed the shower handle without replacing it, even though he had to spend a lot of time looking for a part, and repaired the leading kitchen faucet in no time. I was very happy with the service.
Description of Work: Fix leak under kitchen sink, and fix handle in shower.

fireplaces, gas leak repair

I have had continual problems with my gas fireplace. We live in a very windy location and it rarely stayed on for more than an hour or two max before the wind blew it out. Then it had to cool down before it would work again. I had another company service it and ended up with a gas leak! When I called L&R I was prepared to replace it because no one had been able to service it successfully. After Leroy serviced it, fixed the gas leak, and installed the blower it feels like a new fireplace. It never goes out and warms the room better. I waited to post my review until I was able to use it for several months and verify that the wind was not going to continue to blow it out. I am VERY pleased with this service.

Left two messages on two different numbers (720 and 303) 4 days apart without reply. It has been a week since my first request for service. How difficult is it to return a call even if it's to say you are busy?

Everything went really well. LeRoy was very kind, conscientious and responsible. He returned my call and scheduled an appointment quickly. He cleaned the gas fireplace, made sure everything was in working order, and cleaned up after himself. He even took a quick look at my tub drain and gave me advice. I was very pleased with his work ethic and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Mr. Martinez looked at the leaking toilet, found a replacement valve in his truck, turned off the water and replaced the defective one. It works fine. I also asked him to look at an outside faucet that leaked around the stem whenever we used the hose. He quickly took off the faucet handle and the stem, put in new washers and now it works fine also. He was gone in 45 minutesafter a job well done. I am glad to have found a plumber I can call with confidence the next time I have a problem.
Description of Work: Our toilet was leaking at the valve that controls the water supply to the tank. It was a fairly rapid leak, but when I turned it off, it stopped leaking. So the repair was not an emergency, but of course the toilet was not usable. I called Leroy Martinez, who said that he might not be able to come the same day. I said okay, I can wait. But he called back a bit later and said he had a bit of time and would be here about 1:00 p.m., which he was.

Recently purchased our home and it did not appear that fireplaces had been serviced since the time of installation (14 years for one and approx 5 years for the other). L&R Services was our first venture into Angie's List. Mr Martinez responded immendiately to my phone message and was at our home in two days at the time window that he had indicated despite a snow storm. He quickly set out to service the first unit, rolled out his tools and drop cloth to cover the area. He showed me how to properly operate the units and answered all questions I had had. Mr Martinez did the same with the second unit. Great professional, great attitude, great experience.
Description of Work: Serviced and cleaned two gas fireplaces. Also needed assistance on how to effeciently operatioed the units.

I first called Leroy Martinez to remove my gas logs and advise me on buying a gas insert and remodeling my old wood fireplace. He is wonderful to talk to--so kind, polite, and patient. When you're dealing with gas lines, you want someone you can trust. I trust Leroy Martinez completely. He's a master plumber and a real gentleman. The install went smoothly and I will continue to use Leroy for annual maintenance. He's a hard worker and a great guy. Thanks for Angie's List, I found another contractor I can trust.

Leroy Martinez is the owner and the master plumber. They were terrific. I spent $40 on the job. I thought I would have to spend a lot of money, but they identified the problem and fixed it at a standard rate. I would use them again in the future.

I contacted Leroy from L&R Services via Angie's List e-mail and followed up with a telephone call (got a voice message). He returned my call a couple of days later, said he was returning from out-of-state and catching up on his calls. After scheduling the service, Leroy quoted me a price and approximate time to complete the work (1 hr.). On the scheduled service date, he showed on time, serviced the fireplace, and cleaned up after himself. In fact, Leroy cleaned the glass/screen so well it looks new. He also showed me how to adjust the flame and restore the pilot light should it fail. Last, Leroy fixed a leaky showerhead by inserting an O-ring and (teflon) taping it. Having just moved into the house 6 days prior, I felt better having satisfactorily addressed a couple of the home inspectors write ups. Final thoughts: Leroy is a professional that takes his work seriously, is courteous, and charges a fair price for his efforts.

We had had Leroy install our gas lines before. He came highly recommended to us and he was the most competiive of the 3 bids I recieved. When installing anything he is very aware of his surrounding and not to get any debris on the floor. He offered us 2 options of stove pipe we went with the more expensive for some reason. The other would have knocked the price down several 100 dollars but we would have had to paint it. Leroy works hard knows what he is doing and gets the job done right. He is what you would expect of a United States Marine hardworking and honest.
Description of Work: Leroy installed double walled stove pipe venting thru a 20 ft roof. Installed gas stove and got stove working. Price includes labor and materials.

L & R Services did an outstanding job!! I live in a development with over 200 homes and I put together a deal with L & R Services to offer a good price if I could get six to eight homes to join on this offer for fireplace cleaning and inspections, well, we had over 20 homes that took advantage on the deal and it was a great success!!! The service took over three days to complete and we had no complants from any home owner just - job well done. Every home owner had great things to say about Mr. Martinez and his work, work ethic, friendliness and answering home owners questions. Thanks again L & R Services, see you next year!!! Great Job!!!!

Called Leroy on Tuesday, I think, and was able to get an appointment for Saturday. Leroy gave us a 2-hour range for his arrival time, and he came over pretty near the start of that range. He put down a dropcloth around the fireplace hearth for his tools, and removing the gas logs. He also brought a shop vac, and cleaned the whole area when he was done. I'm pretty sure that area is cleaner now than he found it! Leroy knew exactly what the problems were, and worked fast. At the end, he showed me what he did, and also taught me how to avoid the problem or fix it ourselves in the future. He was kind to discuss basic gas log fireplace maintenance with us, and discuss with me local retail outlets where we can get replacement embers when we need them, and how to clean soot off the gas logs themselves. Leroy mentioned that he is also a licensed plumber, and he was kind to give us a requested estimate on replacement of our water heater while he was here. His price for labor seems extremely reasonable to me, and we'll definitely contact him when it's time for that work, too. Last note on price: Leroy mentioned that he usually charges more for Saturday appointments, and he waived that additional charge for us since we mentioned that we're Angie's List members.
Description of Work: Pilot light on gas log fireplace went out and would not relight. Leroy did basic fine-tuning/cleaning, relit the pilot, and taught us how to relight it ourselves in the future if this happens again.

It was an excellent experience dealing with Leroy of L&R Services. He was very professional: on time, quality work, very friendly, knowledgeable, clean. He gave us an estimate over the phone at the same time that we made an appointment. He came when he said he would and his stated estimate was exactly what he charged. He explained everything as he performed the cleaning and servicing of our gas fireplace. We would recommend his services to anyone. We will definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: Leroy cleaned and serviced our gas fireplace. He removed the glass insert and checked the pilot light switch. Some fine tuning was needed to make the switch perform properly. He thoroughly cleaned all the components of the fireplace pit and fan areas, removing the ceramic logs and vacuuming the entire interior of the unit. He explained how to properly clean the glass area in order to prevent dirt particles building up on the glass surface. He completed his work in about one hour.

I was impressed with Leroy. You find out there are so many different sets of details when installing one of these fireplaces- gas pipe, venting, electrical connections, setting the fireplace correctly, etc. Leroy is clearly a PRO! He was on time, efficient and informative and I appreciated his methodical approach!

I called first thing in the morning to attempt to have the work done the same day. Once I got a hold of him I was told it would be the next day at the earliest, but he talked through the various options on the phone and described how to troubleshoot the issue myself. During our quick 15 minute call he correctly described how the mechanism generally works and how I might fix it myself. The quick tutorial was enough to get me through the whole project on my own, saving me hundreds and a lot of extra wall fixing if the whole fixture needed to be replaced. He was extremely helpful and clearly knowledgeable so I'll be sure to keep him in mind for my next plumbing issue.

He gave an estimate over phone including 10% discount for Angie's List membership. Arranged a date and time for appointment wihin a two hour window. On the day of appointment, called earlier to offer to come early because another job was finished early. Arrived as scheduled, assessed the cracked faucet and discussed options. Replaced the faucet as planned, cleaned up the worksite and wrote out receipt. He was friendly, personable and professional the entire time. I will call him again and have already offered his company name to a friend who needed a plumber.
Description of Work: Replaced an old outside faucet which had cracked.
