I called Van Franey Plumbing at 7:30 on March 25th, requesting an estimate for fixing a leak from the tub faucet and to repair or replace the stopper which would not lock into the engaged position. I received a promised call back within the hour with an estimate ranging from $180-$240 (depending on the need for new parts). Upon agreement, I was told I should expect someone at the house by around 10:30. I couldn't believe someone would be there the same day, let alone within a couple of hours. At 10:05, I answered to the door and was greeted by Ras, a most pleasant, neatly-dressed, always-smiling plumber who quickly proved himself to be most knowledgeable and super-efficient despite my pestering him with questions. He patiently explained what he was doing and why, but never stopping his work. He was done in 15 minutes, and the cost, including both new parts came in below the low end of the estimated range I had received. All of this was arranged for, and accomplished, to meet a very tight morning schedule with clients at my home office. I never dreamed service and pricing would be like this for plumbing services. I honestly had never heard of the company's name prior to searching for a plumber on Angie's List. But the site reviews were consistently outstanding. I am glad I made that call, and will share their contact information with anyone who asks. Without hesitation. It was a small job, as plumbing issues go, but I was treated like a major contractor.
Description of Work: Replaced the cartridge with a new part to fix the leak from behind the faucet, and replaced the faceplate with the lever to engage the stopper.

We love Van Franey. Have used them several times in the past, both for routine repairs and emergencies. The man who answers the phone has a wonderful Southern accent that lowers my blood pressure whenever there's a plumbing emergency. :-) In this particular instance, we had a leak into our kitchen from the bathtub. Big mess. Lots of stress. I left a message overnight with Van Franey, and he called me back the very next morning, then sent someone within two hours. The plumber came out and fixed the problem. He was fast and professional. The company bills instead of asking for payment at the time -- which is nice, because having to pay a big bill at a stressful time just adds to the bummer. We've recommended Van Franey to several friends, and they love them, too.

Several drains in my house were backing up so I called Van Franey Plumbing and they had someone at my house that same day. I've actually used Van Franey Plumbing on several different occasions and have been satisfied with each experience. I highly recommend using this company for all of your plumbing needs.

I've had them out a couple of times. They have done an excellent job and I was happy with them. I've already used them two or three times. They are experts at what they do. Their price is a little high but they are very professional and very thorough. I don't mind paying a little extra rather than doing it on the cheap.

The plumber found the source of the water link in the living room occurring on the tile and rug very quickly. He identified the link was coming from a disconnected tubing servicing the ice machine on the refrigerator. He explained the cause, showed me what was happening and why the water had traveled to that area. Advised I would need to call an appliance repairman for service on the refrigerator. He turned off the ice maker so the link would stop occurring until repaired. The company was prompt and the plumber was courteous and knowledgeable. Thankfully it turned out not to be a major plumbing link.
Description of Work: Identified the source of my water link and advised me of the cause and what action to take.

We had cleaned the drain out several times (very costly and work intensive), but it would only drain for short periods of time and plug up again. When we called VanFraney Plumbing from Angie's list we were at our whit's end. They provided a reasonable estimate, came out right away and diagnosed the problem quickly. The roof vent was plugged with roofing material. He quickly cleaned out the vent and the drain has been functioning with no problem ever since.
Description of Work: Sunken shower was plugging up frequently, which then affected toilet draining. They determined the problem wasn't with the drain; it was the roof vent.

Response was within less than two hours after discovering water buildup inside house. Plumber named Jose was methodical and professional in locating exact point of leak with minimal damage to wall. Since it was nearing nightfall, he came the next day around noon with a helper, and was able to competently replace damaged copper and pvc with new pvc and shutoff valve. He conveyed confidence and experience and completely answered all questions. After previous bad experiences with three other plumbing companies over the past few years, he and his company were a breath of fresh air.

At first RAS mentioned that he may need to go get parts because my sink was larger than my old one. However, after a short period of time he decided to make modifications to the existing plumming saving me under counter space, time and money.

Jose and Anthony arrived punctually, worked steadily and quietly to accomplish all the above items, which needed attending to in the house I just moved into. I had phoned the company number and spoke with Mr. Franey, who sent his men out the next day. They were courteous and professional as well as being very capable. After a week to test everything out, I'm not having any problems with any of their work and am very pleased with the whole transaction. I will certainly call Mr. Franey for any future plumbing problems.
Description of Work: Removed old kitchen sink, faucet and drinking water dispenser, installed new kitchen sink & faucet (my purchases at a big box store), reinstalled the water dispenser; replaced leaking fittings under kitchen sink, reconnected the reverse osmosis system; replaced a shower valve that was only giving hot water, installed two missing bathroom sink pop-ups, replaced a corroded bathtub drain, corrected two shower controls to work properly (they had apparently been installed upside down originally). Carried away all old materials, left everything neat and clean.

A plumber came was available, earlier than expected, on a Friday late afternoon. He installed everytning in about 1.5 hours. We were happy until we found the toilet rocked due a broken flange on the toilet due to the toilet not being properly shimmed. We rocked all weekend, since they never returned any phone call over the weekend. This was not an emergency, but a darn inconvenience. Also, one of the faucets handles still didn't work properly. First, I thought it was a "dream", but found that it actually did go round and round just like the girl's head in the Exorcist. On Monday, the plumber returned and fixed the toilet. Because we weren't sure of the faucet handle, it is still unreliable
Description of Work: We had them install a toilet we had purchases as well as installing new cartreidges in 4 Moen faucets in our master bath.

She said the entire experience went well. They arrived as promised and spent about 4 hours fixing the problem.
Description of Work: I gave Mr. Franey's name to a friend who had a water leak in her wall. She called to tell me how good a job they did and how reasonable they were. They had to cut into the wall to fix the leak and also did a nice job of closing the wall and cleaning up the work site.

After I explained the problem, he went right to work, and was done in less than an hour. He cleaned up after himself, and told me the problem and solution. The shower now drains.
Description of Work: The shower wouldn't drain, but the drain had been previously cleaned. Jose snaked the roof vent from the top of the roof, finding roofing debris had clogged the pipe. He explained the problem as the same concept as when you cover the top of a straw (liquid won't drain from the straw until you open the top to let air in).

Ras did the job. Jose came to assist for the jackhammering of the shower floor for the new drain. The price included the water heater and all other parts but the pool solar valve, which I supplied. He worked in an orderly fashion and was very knowledgeable. The owner, Mr. Franey, came the next day to review their work and give the billing invoice. I would definitely recommend this company again. I am extremely satisfied with their work. Mr. Franey stated that Ras has worked for him for 26 years and Jose has worked for him for 5 years. They were both great plumbers.
Description of Work: They put in new 40 gallon hot water heater, dug up old shower drain and replaced with new 2" pipes and drain, replaced pool solar panel valve turn off/on, replaced main house water valve and outside water faucet along with new piping, installed new one handle shower valve.
