Gary responded promptly to my emergency call on Saturday evening re a flood in my condo. He spent several hours cleaning up the water and determining the source of the water in both my unit and my neighbor's adjoining unit, which was also flooded. It was eventually determined that my neighbor's water heater was the source and needed replacing, but my water heater was so old that I decided to replace it also. Gary came back early on Monday morning with Eric to replace our water heaters. Both Gary and Eric were very professional and hard-working and seemed quite knowledgeable. I have used Doc's Plumbing on two prior occasions and was very satisfied with the service on those occasions also.
Description of Work: Cleaned up a flood in my condo and subsequently installed a new water heater.

I was assisting friends in finding a plumber to repair a small section of a gas pipe that went to the water heater. Doc's Plumbing was called and quoted an hourly rate of $135 an hour and $35 for each additional half hour plus parts. Their Tech who was on a job called back and spoke with my friend and said it would cost $700. I recontacted the office and inquired as why the tech would quote $700. The person I spoke to was a bit surprised at the amount and said it would probably take several hours to which I replied; to make two cuts and attach a six foot piece of pipe (no digging involved). I was told that they could be there in the morning to which I replied that there was no way we would hire them after such a high quote. When I asked if they are on Angies list and was told yes, I was a bit surprised.

I Love Doc's plumbing...they are up to date with all the new ways to accomplish things...we did NOT have to dig up our driveway, they were able to shoot a "missle" underground for the new pipes. Doc's plumbing is the best...and we should know...we've been using them for 20 years!!!
Description of Work: We had a water pipe break between the meter and the house...Doc's plumbing came immediately after our call and stayed with us until the job was completed.

Gave a quote for an on-demand water heater that (we found out later) was much bigger than we needed. To install the new heather they could utilize the existing vent hole in the concrete block but would have to drill a second for a breather pipe. The $2254 quote did not include patching the concrete. (Guess they were just going to drill a hole and let me fill it in.) Because a second hole was needed a "helper" would be required on the job. Labor costs went up to $135 per hour. This newest quote was $700 more than the price given the day before. Needless to say we had someone else give us an estimate and perform the work.

We were contacted to repair an older AquaStar Bosch gas heater. We suggested replacing the heater because of our experience with problems with that particular model and we felt we would be wasting the customer’s money by trying to repair it. The existing water heater was too small for the home at 3 GPM, about 1 to 1 ½ showers at a time. The house has 4 baths so we proposed a Noritz NR981 external mounted heater, 9.8 GPM, 4 showers at a time and gave an estimate for that over the phone. We were told that they wanted the heater installed inside so we made a site visit to give a more accurate estimate. The heater was mounted in a garage that did not have an adequate supply of combustion air so we changed our estimate to include a direct vent model condensing heater Noritz NRC98 DV so that all combustion air would be brought in from outside, a much safer installation. The direct vent heater requires both an intake and an exhaust pipe. The cost of the heater was more than the model we quoted over the phone and the installation was more, hence the change in the estimate. We could have quoted a unit that was too small or unsafe but we do not do substandard work. A low priced job may feel good when you get it but you have to live with the quality for a long time. It is not mentioned that we as a Teco Partner were going to take $550 off of our invoice as an energy credit. Also it appears that that whatever contractor did the job did not pull the required plumbing permit. We may not always be able to give the lowest price but to give an estimate for what we consider is the best solution at no charge and then be disparaged online on Angie’s List is uncalled for.

Doc's canceled the first appointment but immediately rescheduled. They met the second appointment. The serviceman was very professional and personable. The repair to the faucet took a little longer but it was a pedestal sink and they are always trouble. The serviceman also provided a stopgap repair to a shower valve and also recommended a procedure to replace the structure without having to tear the wall of the shower out. He even provided a fixed quote. There was no pressure to do it immediately. I think the company performed professionally and I feel they did a good job.

Overall, I am satified with service and outcome. The tech walked me thru the entire process while he was here at my home. I feel this company provided excellent service and I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: The guest bathroon toilet was clogged. I called this company on a Friday and they came out the same day. The tech guy could not figure out why after snaking the pipes why it was still clogged. He worked on this issue for 4 hours. To save us money, he asked if it would okay if he came back on Monday because if he stayed it would cost us after hour fees. He came back on Monday with camera light to see what it was that was clogging the pipe. In the end he figured out and solved the problem.

Everything went great. I contacted a bunch of plumbing companies on Angie's List via email regarding this issue and they were the most responsive via email (most didn't even bother to reply) and came in at the lowest price. I am extremely impressed with them and will be using them for all of my plumbing needs in the future! Daniel & Jason were both great! :)
Description of Work: There was a piece of tile lodged in the pipes that was found by doing a video inspection by another company I found on Angie's list that wanted 2-3 times MORE money to do the exact same job. That other company also charged $375 just to do a video inspection. Doc's charged $500 to do the inspection again to make sure the tile was still in the same place and they had to use several different tools, but they were able to break up the tile and remove it from the pipes for us.

Excellent job, and a the company (both on phone set up appointment and In-home service) was excellent and I recommend them for your use.
Description of Work: The drain backed up from Kitchen disposal. The technician (Gary McL) came to the house on time and he did a very through job. At first we thought it was a simple clog, but the clog was far down the pipe and the technician had to get up onto the roof and clear out the line using the access to the venting pipe on the roof. The technician did a great job hunting down the problem and the clog was resoved. The receipt says the job was a "K-45" clog, I guess that is their internal coding for billing. The whole process took about 1-hour.

Fantastic-in spite of it being an emergency.
Description of Work: A shut off valve was installed on the side of my house. Doc's is the best. Vicky who runs the office is wonderful and highly responsive. I had just purchased my home. The valve to the shut off in the bathroom was frozen open. The shut off valve on the side of the house was non-existent. Doc's fixed the problem (s) asap-both the shut off valve in the bathroom and the shut off valve on the side of the house. They are wonderful and have done plumbing work for me at my previous residences. Mark, the plumber, is highly skilled and professional as well.

We have had multiple problems with our tankless hot water heater. We interviewed and received quotes from three companies. Docs was not only the least expensive, they were able to get us on the schedule before Christmas . They got back to us promptly with the quote, did what they said they would for less than they anticipated in time. Most importantly, they were extremely knowledgable about tankless systems. Not all plumbers are!

I scheduled the repair on a Friday just after lunch. The technician, while prompt, looked me over and seemed to develop a bad first impression of me right off the bat. Nevertheless he came in, I explained what I wanted done, and left him alone for a couple of hours. He replaced the lines to one toilet and under one sink, replaced a cartridge on a showerhead and said he couldn't fix my faucet; I needed a new one. I had explained to the dispatcher that I would need an old faucet repaired and possibly replaced, but the technician did not have a replacement, did not have adequate tools and seemed in a hurry to leave. He also left behind some tools. I called Doc's on Monday morning, told them I was not happy and mentioned I had used Angie's List to find them and would write a report to reflect my displeasure. They were immediately responsive and apologetic. They sent someone else out who not only fixed everything, he told me the first technician had not done $300 worth of plumbing, and I was issued a refund!!! I was very happy with the end result, as well as a company not just admitting a wrongdoing, but righting it as well. I would use them again, and I recommend them to others. I'm not sure what happened with the first guy -- maybe he was just having a bad day -- but he is not indicative of the good service/pricing the company offers.
Description of Work: I researched plumbers on Angie's list, with the idea of supporting a local business with which I could develop a long-term relationship. I needed to have some outdated fixtures repaired/replaced and two leaky toilets fixed.

I called them, and the receptionist was very polite and helpful. I scheduled an appointment for the following day at 8:30 am. The plumber (Ricky) arrived on time, and was also very nice (and very nice-looking, too). He identified the problem, and finished the needed repairs in about 30 minutes. Even though they have a minimum one-hour service call, I was only billed for a half hour of labor. All together, with parts and labor, my cost was $94. I was very pleased with the service.
Description of Work: Two of the toilets in my house were not flushing properly. When I flushed the toilet, the tank would fill, but would not stop running unless I lifted the top off the tank, and pulled the lever up. Doc's fixed them by replacing the "fill valve." Now both toilets flush properly.

If we did not call back we are sorry, we may not have gotten the message from our after hours answering service. The type of shower valve that we use on valve replacements with a repair plate to save the wall tile is a pressure balance valve that only has temperature control, no volume control. Just recently registered with Angie's list and noticed this comment. We tried to call the member at the only number we have but it disconnected.

New faucet doesn't leak and cut-off valves are quarter-turn making complete cut-off to kitchen faucets so much easier when needed. Placed towels on granite counter top to protect said top. Cleaned up after installing so that under-sink area was spotless. Polite and personable throughout. This young man, Tony, knew his business and that is what I require. His skill and knowledge is everything.
Description of Work: Replaced single-hole leaking-internally Grohe faucet with a new single-hole Price Pfister faucet. I supplied faucet. Had to remove disposal and change out cut-off valves as they were leaking also. Changed water supply hoses.
