My husband and I gave Steve about $6000 of plumbing business. He is an unfriendly, lazy, and careless plumber. He created three leaks in my bathroom with the toilet, and two sinks simply because he neglected to tighten down my toilet tank bolt and other bolts properly. Steve came back multiple times to fix issues he created, but does not take responsibility by saying sorry for the mess the water all over my vanity and floor created. He likes to blame anything but himself. He also adds 20% fee on top of materials he orders from supply house, so beware, do not order through him. Lastly, have a written contract with him if you choose to go down a rocky road with this man. He tries to overcharge for services that we had a verbal agreement on. Very dishonest and completely unfriendly. I would stay far away.

Response from Night Owl Plumbing
I’m having trouble choosing between sad and just pathetic to describe you needing to run to anywhere you can to leave bad reviews. Yep, I missed a few things, fully admit and accept that but conveniently in your poorly worded review you neglected to mention that I was at your house within an hour of you letting me know on those occasions. Every time there was an issue I was on top of it immediately but again you wouldn’t dare say anything like that in the review. Of course I mark up material why would I possibly give you my price? I am in this business to make a profit this is no secret. If you want to pay the actual cost order the material yourself. You have me order it because I then assume responsibility for it. The time it takes to order it and assume responsibility for it is then compensated by profit added to the cost. This is completely standard operating procedure for anybody in the trades and to think that I would simply extend my price and time to get your material is just ridiculous. I was very transparent about that when we discussed ordering materials and I’m transparent about that right now. It’s funny that every single person on your job that’s a contractor has had an issue with you and the job so perhaps there’s a common denominator that you’re just not willing to except? On one review you say I got $5200 worth of work and now on this review you’re claiming 6000. So clearly your story is all over the place. The job didn’t go well fine, you don’t like me frankly that doesn’t matter to me. But at least tell a consistent and accurate and truthful story of what actually happened. I have almost 20 years of proven success, thousands of loyal very happy clients because I do own up to my work, I do tell people honest answers and I charge people fairly. So before you start screaming and yelling about a bad attitude maybe look in the mirror and fix your own attitude.

Steve was amazing! He arrived early, very professional and friendly, explained everything I needed to know and did the jobs very quickly. He had to get a new part from the store and was back in a flash! The price was very reasonable and I'm very happy with the services he performed. I would definitely use him again! Keep up the good work!

The plumber replaced cracked pipes and tested nearby joints and pipes shorter than promised time. He cut the price down as less time spent on the job.

Steve installed a new tub/shower unit, which required him to rebuild a small wall too. He came when he said he would and left the work area clean each day he was here. I would highly recommend Night Owl Plumbing. Steve did an amazing job.

He did all work as promised. He needed to order a new control valve and return to install it but did not charge for two visits. He obtained the part and returned the same day. His work is done right and he is very neat. We will use him again when we need a plumber.
Description of Work: Replaced leaky clothes washer control valve that is recessed into wall. He also replaced the water hoses. The above price includes parts and labor and is very reasonable.

Steve was very timely, for the emergency response on a Sunday he returned our call within 15 minutes and was at our house within 20 minutes after that. He had to open our ceiling and see where water was coming from and gave good advice for how to proceed. The second call (non-emergency) he came when he said he would and called ahead of time. He went through the house to determine where a crack in the pipe was. He was very knowledgeable and informative.
Description of Work: Steve came to our house on two occasions. One in an emergency where he helped with water coming through the ceiling. Second time was to determine where leak/crack in a pipe was.

It was painless, professionally accomplished and they were very neat and clean. I emailed all my local friends and passed on his name. This guy is a gem! Nice,shy and quiet . I tried to bribe him with cookies and muffins, nope.....he was gonna solve my problem before anything else. He charges the same rates for calls no matter what time he has to come out. No double time after 8:00pm like some others do. Write his number on your fridge with a big marker, you will need him at some point and you will thank me that you took his name and number.?
Description of Work: Water was leaking from clean water line under my toilet. I bought a new toilet as old one was 30 years old anyway. They replaced the toilet and installed new ring. two hours later there was still water coming up thru the floor. Oops. He immediately came back and then crawled under the house over and around granite boulders and saw water dripping. After they cleared away some foam insulation we discovered a tiny pin hole leak in the water line. Eureka! He wrapped the pipe for a quick fix as he had a real plumbing emergency to deal with across town. Later that eve he replaced the bad pipe section and water line and put in a new shut off valve. Yippeee. We ❤️ Night owl!!!!!

We were very satisfied with everything about our experience with Night Owl. Despite the deep freeze, and likely many emergencies keeping him busy, Steve installed our new heater soon after our initial call. The install went very smoothly. He arrived when he said he would; completed the job quickly; explained to us what we needed to know about the new unit, left the work area as clean as he found it; and called us the day after to see how things were. The price was very reasonable and the customer service was excellent. We would highly recommend Night Owl.

He's amazing. He was the least expensive and the most qualified plumber. I think the average plumber is 105 and hour and he charged me 80. For someone who is on a tight budget, he's incredible. He's 24 hours a day and his prices don't go up even if it's 3:00 in the morning or 11:00. He's just unbelievable. I think if you get him as your plumber, you're lucky 'cause he is incredible at what he does and his pricing is better than anyone's I've ever seen. I actually think he's under-priced. He is meticulous and thorough and I like the fact that he's also very honest and genuine. He doesn't oversell you and he's just a really good guy. He got that old business model of customer service first. He is really going above and beyond what a plumber does just to please a customer and to keep them for life.

Steve is extremely professional in all aspects of the job. He explains in detail exactly what needs to be done and quotes a price up front. He is punctual and reliable. He does not hesitate to check out a problem quickly, including weekends. His workmanship is high quality and his prices are very fair. He cleans up everything when his is finished--unlike many other contractors I have used. This is the second time he has done work for me, and I am extremely satisfied.
Description of Work: Replaced deteriorated plastic pipe connected to tub drain that was leaking. Used high quality brass instead of plastic.
