After the first visit the toilet continued to run all day. I called and didn?t hear back from them, but the plumber came to my home and worked on the toilet again. The first time he replaced the flapper and the second time he replaced the pedestal in the toilet tank. A couple of hours after he left, at about 7 pm, I checked the toilet again and I could hear it running before I opened the bathroom door. I called again and left a message stating I was still not happy with the work and the toilet was still running. I called them this morning to ask them what was going on and what they would do to fix the situation. The owner of the company is not a plumber but said he would come out to look at the problem with the plumber. I paid $90.00 for the service call and $46.00 for the pedestal. I've decided at this point that I'm going to have another company work on my toilet.
Description of Work: I called them to work on my toilet. The water would continue to run after flushing.

Response from PLUMBING BY BOB
[Member Name Removed], Sorry to hear you were not satisfied with our services. With an older home and older toilets, “quick fixes” such as a flapper do not fix an on going issue. Upon your request we did not replace the toilet instead provided you with “quick fix” like you wanted. A complete toilet rebuilt or new toilet was recommend but you choose the less expensive option. Our standard service fee is $90 per hour, plus parts. We install thousands of water heaters in the City of Weston. We also do loop leaks, repair work, etc. I am sorry you were unhappy with our services but unfortunately we can not fix an ongoing issue without the consent of the owner who is willing to pay for it.

My water heater was about 16 years old and need to be replaced.Bob was very knowledgable when he came and assessed the problem. He came within an hour of my call and was very professional. He changed the water heater the same day; although it took long than i had anticipated, he did excellent work and cleaned up when he was finished.He even fixed my toilet free of charge! I highly recommend Bob!

They said that during the week, it's $90 for the service call, plus parts and labor. However, on the weekend, it is a $90 service call plus an additional $300 for weekend service. I decided not to use their services, and was angry that they would try to rip me off when other companies only charge the standard $95. If someone doesn't want to work the extra days on the weekend, they shouldn't list that they have hours on those days.
Description of Work: I called and explained that I had a problem and wanted them to come out.

If you care about your time and don’t want it wasted, don’t contact Matt. He not only was a no show but he couldn’t pick up the phone and call to reschedule. FYI Matt: People work and don’t have time to wait around for a clown like you.
Description of Work: No show (and no call) for a scheduled and confirmed appointment. I should have listened to the previous ‘F’ review. This company is a joke. They may do good work but this Matt guy is a clown. I called him on Friday and instead of taking down my name/phone number, he asked if I call back Monday to set up and appointment. Based on his work reviews and being local, I decided to call Monday. Conversation went well; we scheduled an appointment for Tuesday between 12-2pm.

They were very professional. Matt was very helpful and professional. He called and actually came before the scheduled time. He explained the problem, told us what needed to be done and did it very quick. Hopefully, I don't have to call a plumber anytime soon but if I do I would definitely call Plumbing by Bob again.
Description of Work: We had clogged bathrooms and bathtubs. Sewer water was comming up on the bathtub and showers.

I purchased the toilet from him and hired him to come out and do the installation as well. It is a small family run business. He has extremely good customer service. If I were to call him up with a problem he would come right out to help me. He is very understanding and trustworthy. He is one of the few contractors that I would leave in my house alone. He is very responsive and prompt.

I called them at 4:30 PM on a Friday to check out the leak. They charged $100 for after-hours service, and said they could be there at 6 PM. At 4:45 PM, the called me to confirm that someone would be there in 30 minutes. The plumber arrived and by the time I got there they had started the job. Although the price was a bit high--the level of service was high and responsiveness too. If you are on the go, like I am and you need someone to do it now, these are your guys.
Description of Work: Replaced PVC elbow connector coming from water meter to the house. Dug about 1 1/2 feet next to water meter. I had a water leak for two months.

I have used this company for about 15 years. For this service, I was charged double service call. I felt that I should not have been because they were already at my house. I called the office to talk to them, but did not receive a return phone call from them. I would not recommend this company ever again.
Description of Work: I called this company to check on a water leak in the front of the house. They said it was the city's problem. I asked them to fix a lever that stops the sink while they were there. They got the okay to do the job from the office.

Jose arrived promptly for the appointment to look at the job and after consulting with the office told me the cost. He thought he could get the new filter the same day, but called back later to say it would be the next day instead. Two days later, after not hearing from them, I called Jose, who explained the filter would have to be put on order and he apologized because he thought someone else would call yesterday. He did call with a couple of updates for me while waiting for the filter to arrive, and installed it the day after it came in. Everything was done professionally. I also had a DIY toilet repair task I wasn't doing properly and asked him to take a look, and he took care of that for no extra charge.
Description of Work: Removed a whole-house water filter and installed a new one in a new location, which required re-routing the pipes a bit.

Overall they were in and out both times but did not get there at the appointed time. I needed to call as I had taken off work to be there.the second time the tech took 30 minutes and left the area a mess for me to clean.
Description of Work: This is the price charged to replace the same shower hardware, fix the garbage disposal and toilet tank. I felt that the price was high and the owner assured me that this was reasonable as I was a returning customer. Not long after, my water heater ruptured the day before I had a major surgery scheduled and the tech charged me $700 to replace it offering to give me a $50 discount if I didn't pay with a check. If this is the treatment returning customers receive, I think that I'll locate another provider.

Description of Work: I called them this morning. I told them i had a leak in the tub and asked what they charged. The man hesitated for awhile and said he didn't know, but he would have someone call me. It's been over 5 hours and I still haven't heard anything.

Plumber responded to my call promptly, showed up at exactly the time stated, performed the work, cleaned up, all within an hour. UPDATE: on 11/19/2012 the disposal was leaking. I called another plumber who had to use a large electric saw to remove the disposal installed by Bob's Plumbing. The disposal was completely rusted and corroded at the top where it connects to the drain. I was informed it had been installed incorrectly. Instead of being attached by three screws, it had only been attached by two, leaving one side totally rusted. I am not a plumber, but from what I was shown, his assessment appeared correct. I was charged $195 for a new disposal (this price also included the installation), in spite of the difficulty to remove the old one. I realize it has been 4 years and even assuming that is a reasonable time for a disposal to last (although the one before that lasted 16 years!), Bob's Plumbing charged me $400, which seems outrageous since the new one (exact same model: Insinkerator) was half that.

I called and left all of my information with the office. Within 30 minutes I had a call back from them. I was quoted $225 to replace the main water valve and was able to make an appointment for the next day. Jose came out and had the valve replaced in no time. He also fixed a leak I had with my garden hose faucet.

It was a very good experience. Plumbing by Bob, Inc. was extremely honest, reliable, and did great work. Also, they were great in providing the necessary information I required for my insurance claim. They went over and above to make sure I was happy.
