Description of Work: I paid for two hours of plumbing service. What I got was billed for one hour of that service for the repair man to glance at the hot water heater and recommend a repipe with hopefully a duscount for that service with the other hour of plumbing service for which I had already paid. Never called back or showed to even give me the estimate. Original service person was not at fault. He was honest , pleasant , and professional. Not so much his supervisors. Would not use again

To start, we found them on Angie's list and had a $45.00 service call off coupon. So this is why we used them. Randy Jr was courteous in the initial appt phone calls. Initially, our 8:30 AM appt. was for 1/10/13 and was moved to 8:30 AM 0n 1/11/13, then moved back to 1/10/13 AM because we had a personal appt. that moved. The company had no problem with moving our plumbing appts around; they said (Randy Jr) had appts. open. First, the plumber that was sent by the company, to our home, on 1/10/13, told us he was a part of their 'commercial" plumbing division and that he was not familiar with residential billing. He didn't want to "fool with money", and refused to take a (check) payment from us after the service was performed on 1/10/13. In fact, he did not/would not give us a "receipt" for services rendered. Then, he broke our gate valve towards the end of the appt. on 1/10/13 he racked up about 20 additional mins. ($88.00 @ hr) trying to repair/turn on the gate valve (outside water shut off/on valve) that he, himself, had broken. We called the company on 1/10/13 and spokeswomen (answered phone) said they would come by the next day 1/11/13 and have him repair the valve "free of charge" and to do some additional work, in our kitchen, IF we wanted him to. The next morning (1/11/13) we got a phone call first thing (7:30 AM) from Randy, Jr. (ie-owners son) telling us that 'they' would NOT pay for the broken valve, because its not their responsibility one of their plumbers broke a gate valve, because he said they break all the time, and it would cost us $40.00 (brass valve parts) to have the plumber, that broke the valve it in the first place, come out and repair it. We were not happy about having to do that, since we didn't break it, and let him know that we felt we didn't really have a choice, because we are on a tight budget, (didn't know when another plumbing company could come out and fix it, or how much they would charge us to fix it), but we paid the additional $40.00. In conclusion, before the valve incident and conversation with Randy Jr, we had seriously considered using them to come out and finish our minor renovations, (ie- possibly moving our dishwasher/sink a few feet) in our kitchen...but when their plumber broke our gate valve, and then they MADE US PAY FOR THE VALVE, that all changed. He came out to fix the valve on 1/11/13, and we paid for the valve, however, we will not use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We are doing a small renovating job in our kitchen, and we had the plumber relocate ice maker box along the wall about 3 feet to the right. He had to turn the water off to the house, and in the process broke the gate valve outside. We had considered having him move our sink and dishwasher over when our counter tops/cabinets came in, but after they charged us for the broken valve (that their plumber broke) we are no longer considering using them.

Response from AMERICAN PLUMBING CONTRACTORS
My company went out to Member's house on 1/10/13 to re-locate an ice maker box so that they could move the refrigerator for remodeling purposes. While turning the water off, the 1" gate valve on the main water line dropped. This happened because of the age and condition of the valve. We can not be held responsible for something in that condition. My plumber should have made her aware of the situation before he touched the valve, and normally we do. Because of the plumber not making her aware of this, I offered to send him back out and replace it for $40. This would cover the cost of material. I did not charge her anything for the labor on that day. The drywall that we cut out for the ice maker relocation would not have been enough to complete the new drywall repairs. My plumber was not informed to keep the drywall and put the old drywall in the trashcan located in the kitchen

I did not use them as their quote was $10K higher than the other two quotes from two different bidders.
Description of Work: I am remodeling a newly purchased home and was looking for a plumbing contractor to reroute the existing drains and pipes in two bathrooms as well as install two new electric water heaters. John from American Plumbing came out the very next day for an estimate. His suggestion to replace the two electric water heaters with a gas water heater was great and would have saved some money on the monthly electric bill. They are very professional, experienced and responded right away. Unfortunately the quote was a way too high. I received three quotes and American Plumbing Contractors was about $10K more expensive than the other two contractors.

they came after I had a terrible time with the plumbing co. that my AHS company attempted to send to my home.Not only did this company want the money AHS was going to pay them. they wanted 377.00 from me as well.After this company had raised their price that I would have to pay from 1501.00 , to 277.00 and finally 377.00 I told AHS not to send those crooks to my home, instead I would hire my own. Joined Angies list and found this company They were GREAT. After fighting with this other company for about two weeks, I found a professional yet friendly, helpful company. They also suggested a better way for me to save a few dollars as well as gave a Angies list discount

They do a lot of work for me, and they are out here once or twice a week, doing different projects. They do a good job, and clean up after themselves like good pro’s do. I don’t have any problem with them.
Description of Work: I am a building maintenance engineer, and I use American Plumbing Contractors on our commercial properties. I have been using them for about seven years, and the last time I used them was to pull two wall units forwards off the wall, and snake them out.

Faucet installation was fast and efficient. They were able to come the day I phoned and were professional as well as prompt. I also asked them to check a toilet that was running and the plumber fixed it in 1 minute! I am very happy with the job they did and the price quoted was exactly what I paid. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again

I think their estimate was for $4700. They were prompt. I will use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from American Plumbing Contractors. I did not use their services. They came out about six weeks ago to give me an estimate for some plumbing issues in my bathroom. There weren’t any more details to the work that they were going to perform.

American Plumbing called to discuss the work needed before scheduling the repair. I asked that when they got to the house check out the problem and call me before starting the repair. Randy Jr. called shortly after the crew determined what was needed and explained they had to re-set to toilet. It needed to be properly set on the floor, and a new wax seal as well. For the kitchen they connected the Insinkerator, an instant water heater. This product is connected to both the plumbing electricity. When the work was completed, they recommended an electrician. The electrician called the next day, and came later that day to wire the Insinkerator.
Description of Work: American Plumbing worked on two jobs; toilet repair and install an Insinkerator. The toilet in my sons bathroom was not secure to the floor; it would rock side to side. My sons have physical disabilities so their safety was at risk. The plumbersre- set the toilet to the floor with a new foundation (know that's not the correct term), a new wax seal and caulked the base. They explained we should let it sit a few hours for the caulk to dry before using the toilet. I bought a Insinkerator for instant hot water in the kitchen. They installed the plumbing and recommended an electrician for the wiring required.

This company surely does quality work and offers exceptional services. They are prompt and courteous in your home. They do very accurate work and care about making you happy. Unfortunately, their prices are so high that I probably would not use them again. I was still impressed with the time and effort they put into doing the work correctly at my home and would recommend them to others who have a budget higher than mine.
Description of Work: My mother dropped a metal cap down the drain of one of my sinks. This company removed it. While they were here, they also took three and a half hours worth of time to reinstall a pedestal sink that was never properly put in by another company. Their job included making several trips to the supply company to pick up parts they needed.

I would use American Plumbing Contractors again, because they were on time and knew how to fix my problem. I was not inconvenienced by their work, and they worked pretty fast to get it done. They were professional and explained to me what had to be done before starting the work.
Description of Work: I had American Plumbing Contractors replace the pipes behind my washing machine. This was too difficult a job for me to do. He finished in about five hours.
