Kudos to Canestri Plumbing for once again coming through in a crisis in my home. This occurred on 10/29/2020. Coming home from a five day absence, I found water in the basement, leaking from the floor above. Not knowing its source, I called Canestri early the next day. My call was answered by the answering service and returned by Paul within fifteen minutes. Within another forty-five minutes, Brian was at my home reviewing the situation and diagnosing the problem quickly (a leaking toilet tank). Brian gave me my two options: repair the old tank (which was perhaps thirty years old) or replace it. I decided to replace everything since the toilet was so old and really too small for an adult. Brian put a call into Paul who happened to be at the supplier at that moment. Paul brought over the new toilet, they installed it quickly and efficiently, and were on their way less than an hour after the toilet had arrived. The entire operation from initial phone call to diagnosis to waiting for Paul to bring over the new toilet and the installation took a little less than three hours. The total cost seemed quite reasonable and fair especially considering the convenience of having everything done so quickly. As far as I am concerned, this was a job very well done. They were professionals who responded quickly, knew what they were doing, respected my property, cleaned up after themselves and fixed the problem all within a relatively short amount of time. Thank you, guys. Job well done. Recommend highly.

Excellent organization and delivery of quality work. Very professional. Communicative.
Description of Work: 24 December 2016 Recommendation for Canestri Plumbing, Guilford, CT to Angie’s List It is a pleasure to provide a recommendation for Canestri Plumbing, Guilford, CT to Angie’s List. We utilized their services in November 2016. We had two plumbers come to our home: Gabe, and his apprentice -- Jason. Both were highly respectful and professional. They had never been to our home before, and they with ease and confidence familiarized themselves with our house. We had them put in a new Kohler faucet, which is beautiful and operates well. In addition, they attended to some other small plumbing concerns, as well as making recommendations. Furthermore, they suggested that the possibility of a small leak in our well water system be checked, which again turned out to be an excellent suggestion. Not only would we say that they arrived on time, but even more to the point, they arrived twenty minutes early. In today’s world it is very hard to find people that are honorable, and Canestri Plumbing presents themselves as being able and available to not only do a project, but willing to follow up for any adjustments as needed. We do not look for the lowest price but rather good people, quality work, and high integrity. There is no question in my mind that if my wife had a question about her new faucet that if she called them that they would be more than happy to come out and explain something, or provide a minor adjustment. We recommend Canestri Plumbing, Guilford, CT with pride.

Description of Work: They fixed a toilet. | |They charged an additional $90 travel fee, to come from 3 towns away. The irony is that the plumber actually lives within walking distance, on a cross street from our house, and scheduled us as his last stop on his way home, but they made us pay the $90 anyway. I cannot remember the exact date.

Response from P L Canestri Plumbing & Heating
She cannot remember the exact date because we repaired that toilet in 2004. We were there again in 2005 and she sent a nasty letter and refused to pay the bill for a repair to a hose faucet that she hadn't used in 4 years. We have not done work for her since 2005. The plumber she is referring to hasn't worked for us in 7 years, and we have never charged $90 for a travel fee since we have been in business. Angie's List should require proof when people like this make reviews. This is not the first bogus review that has been written and they should be removed.

This is a questionable review considering that this $250.00 was a QUOTE for a job back in 2009. We have NO record of this work being done by our company. This is a very suspicious review as far as we are concerned.

I had to wait a short time for them to come. The service man was very quick and knowledgeable. He had been here before and was familiar with the house. He had the repair done in no time. The first time he did a repair it took a bit longer but he was very efficient and had us back in order quickly. The only time I had a problem happened to be the night that I was having guests for dinner and the sink faucet broke. That repair man fixed it and had hardly left when it began leaking again. Just one of those silly moments I guess. It was the only time I have had a problem with their service and I had used them many times. I believe that the cost has been fair for the work and discomfort they have had to endure in my 45 year old house.

The owner or someone higher up came out answers all my questions and gave me a quote. The plumbers that came out did the work. He put the cold and the hot water on the wrong faucets. My husband changed it.

I would not recommend this company - customer service is not high on their priority list.
Description of Work: We have a leak in our hot water return. My husband tried to fix it himself, but without success. I called around 4:00pm, reached the answering service and was told that I would not be able to speak with anyone until tomorrow morning sometime. I asked i there was anyway to speak with someone tonight, and was told no, because they only do emergency calls for current custmers. Well, this is one potential customer they won't have. What would it have taken for a return phone call tonight?!

Response from P L Canestri Plumbing & Heating
We hope everyone who reads this review will be able to read between the lines. It is obviously a complete over-reaction from someone who was frustrated at the time. We absolutely do not deserve an F rating from someone who made one phone call and was not happy with the response they received. This is our business and our livelihood and it is completely unfair for someone who has never done business with us to put that on Angie's list. We have a very large customer base and good service is our number one priority.

The guy who showed up seemed professional, smart and quite competent. He did some testing, checking the pan for leaks and trying to figure where else, if possible, the leak might have been coming from. He ruled out the drain and the pan fairly quickly. He kept looking and told me that the plumbing was not responsible for the leak into the room below, instead blaming the tile work, citing a specific hairline crack. I have since had the tile re-grouted, but the leak has returned. I did a new test that keeps water from the getting anywhere near the cited crack, essentially feeding the shower straight to the drain. This test shows that it IS the plumbing. (I have ruled out the drain because I have poured buckets of water from another source down the drain. I have also filled the pan and then drained it. Neither of those resulted in the leak reappearing.) And so, I called a plumber to check it out and he incorrectly ruled out plumbing as the cause of the leak.

We are sorry you were not pleased with our service. With this kind of problem we tell the customer to monitor the leaks and call us if there are further problems. Short of opening the ceiling below, if we cannot see where the leak is coming from we can't repair anything. If you had called us back we would have made a return call for no charge.
