Thomas M. Flynn Plumbing

.......................................................................

did not use him

Went PERFECTLY. All work was performed expertly and quickly by this MASTER PLUMBER. Is a super nice guy in addition to a great resource and service provider. Thank you!!!

Thomas gave me a quick quote over the phone and gave me same-day service, replacing three push-button toilet water shut-off valves (they should outlaw this type of valve) with three compression shut-off valves. He was more than $100 under another plumbing service's two-valve replacement price. I will definitely hire him again.

I needed to have my kitchen faucet replaced and called around to several plumbers for a price. I was shocked when I was quoted the cost especially when I was supplying the faucet which was exactly the same model as the one being replaced. I picked Thomas Flynn as he was local and was offerring a reasonable price. He answered me immediatly and was able to come out within a reasonaable time frame. I was not in a hurry. He replaced the faucet and when a slight probelm appered, he immediately came back to right it. I would highly recommend him as he was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable.

We have had nothing but problems with our plumbing in this house, everything the builders could cut corners on they did. It was very stress relieving to have a plumber come in who new just how to fix our toilet issues. Due to uneven tiles our flange cracked down the side, crackling our toilet and creating a bathroom mess no Holiday host wants to contend with. We called five plumbers on Angies List, Mr. Flynn (a master plumber) was the first to respond. He gave us an estimate over the phone as we pulled the toilet, knew exactly what was wrong, and were able to text him pictures of the flange. I received a quote of almost twice his quote ($249 and $315) from other plumbers. Mr. Flynn arrived prompt at 7 a.m. this morning per our scheduled visit. He went above and beyond our expectations. This is a man that truly takes pride in craftsmanship and customer service. He removed the old Flange in a matter of minutes, without damaging the rest of the piping saving us from that repair cost. After installing the new flange, he then volunteered to help my husband place our new toilet and showed him some tips and tricks to placing the wax ring on the flange and the bowl on the ring. He even caulked the toilet down for us. His expertise work ethic, and personality combined really made the transaction seamless. I couldn't recommend a better plumber. I won't even consider calling another one in the future.

Although I know that continued lowering hot water temperatures are a sign of a deteriorating hot water heater, I stupidly ignored the symptoms of our old heater until I noticed water emerging out of the top. First, I turned off the water and then I called the plumber recommended by our community's Buyer?s Group and encountered a recording. After waiting a half hour, I became impatient (one of my many faults) and called a plumber recommended on Angie?s List (Thomas Flynn). The commenters on the list all spoke very highly of him and noted only one issue: he was expensive. On the theory that you get what you pay for, I called him; he answered on the third ring and said he would be here in 30 minutes. I was thrilled, but then had second thoughts. Could he be such a great plumber if he was not busy enough to come immediately? Still, he told me to be sure to call the gate, which indicated to me that he had been in our community before, and he arrived exactly 28 minutes after I hung up the phone. He immediately recommended a Rheem, but I told him I already had done my research (another story for another time), and that I wanted a specific Rheem, the Performance Platinum 40 Gallon 12-year guarantee heater with LCD display. According to the Home Depot website, this heater was in stock at a nearby Home Depot for $458. I also asked him to replace the current plastic shut-off valve with a brass one. He called the store from our garage giving the model number I supplied, and was assured that it indeed was in stock. When he returned with the heater, though, he said this model had been updated and the newer edition was $506. Seemed plausible to me, so I didn?t object. (I haven?t yet checked Home Depot to see if the cost increase is actually correct.) Here is a summary of the itemized bill he presented. One Rheem water heater $506; miscellaneous materials $40 (I probably should have asked for a more specific breakdown because obviously the miscellaneous parts would not have serendipitously come to exactly $40, but the parts could have cost a little more as well as a little less than $40, so I let this go); $48 for a permit; $46 for dump fees; and $440 for four hours of labor. Total including $38.47 for tax came to $1,118.42, more than merely a bit higher than what I had anticipated. He was on site from 9:30 to 1 p.m. (except for a trip to Home Depot to get the heater), which is only three hours in billable time, but he said it would take another half-hour to take the old heater to the ?dump.? He also emailed me at 5:53 p.m. with what he said is a county ordinance required ?Permit to Perform Work,? which he told me to print and place on the heater. He said he would call the inspector and ask him to come to our house at a time convenient to us, which is Monday morning, June29. The inspector arrived, looked at the heater from top to bottom for all of, oh, probably 10 seconds and signed the form.

Thomas was prompt and efficient. All of the work was completed and everything was left neat and clean. We are very pleased!

We were first-time customers calling at approximately 11:00 AM regarding our electric water heater which had sprung a leak. Tom obtained the tank capacity and other pertinent facts over the phone and indicated that our aging, 30-gallon unit was small by current standards (it was here when we arrived 11 years ago) and provided us a quote over the telephone for the current, average size 40 gallon water heater which was a good decision. Following that call, we researched pricing for replacement of water heaters on The Web, and Tom's quote was somewhat less than the average, installed cost. Tom arrived approximately one hour following our telephone conversation with a name-brand, 40-gallon water heater. By 1:30, he had installed the unit, allowed it time to warm up and it was producing hot water. He provided removal and disposition of our old water heater, and the garage floor was left clean as could be. It goes without saying that we have found our and quot;newand quot; plumber.

He's very good, but very expensive. Occasionally, I feel that he does some work that's not for. He's everything you want a plumber to be except when it comes to the price. His initial estimates are high, but he is a master plumber.

He responded very quickly, fixed the problem with ease and did not charge me over-time/emergency or Saturday rates. He arrived within 20 minutes of my call. Amazing!

I called Tom after several unsuccessful attempts to contact Riverview Plumbing in regards to a hotwater heater I had installed in 2013 by them. Approx. one month ago My wife and I started noticing black particles in all our hotwater lines. After a Public Utilities inspection cleared the outside water lines of any issues I knew the problem originated inside; most likely starting with the hotwater heater. After a close inspection of the water lines connected to the heater, Tom discovered that the hotwater flexline used by Riverview Plumbing was not sufficient for the hotwater side. The line was insulated with a black coating or rubber that tends to break down from the hotwater and treatments used in the water. Instead, Tom replaced both lines with Copper and the problem with black particles in my water has been solved. Tom seems to be very knowledgeable in the Plumbing field. I plan on using him again in the near future to install a Whirlpool water softner and wholehouse filteration system. If you want you plumbing done right, I recommend you call Thomas Flynn Plumbing...

Mr. Flynn provided excellent service in a very timely and professional manner and at a reasonable price. He has clearly earned his standing as a master plumber.

Mr. Flynn is always on time, extremely reliable, very courteous.

Excellent response to phone call - came within one hour, explained what needed to be done and quickly did it.

Tom was on time does very good work is kind of friendly.

We converted a dated bathroom tub area to a glass walk in shower. Tom had to take out all the old tub with sliding glass doors, move the drain to the center of the floor which required new piping etc. We installed a and quot;standing spaand quot; with four jets, shower head and a hand shower so he had to configure piping to all those pieces so that we would have adequate water pressure coming from all areas. It is very clear he is extremely knowledgeable and lives up to his title as Master Plumber. We had a need for a few other follow up calls on other things and he came out the day I called him to take care of us. He was a joy to work with, very professional, on time, quoted each piece accurately and had no mistakes....we will use him for all our plumbing needs! it is such a relief to know there is someone reliable you can count on even if he did play football for USC (we are hard core Notre Dame fans!) We would recommend him in a minute and suggest you look no further if Tom is available.

Tom was on time and reasonably priced. Very knowledgeable thorough and personable. He was very professional. Gave good advice prior to purchasing a new dishwasher.

He is expensive but really good. He is the only one I have used since my other one retired. I will use him again.
