Our 16 year old gas water heater started dripping from the bottom Sunday afternoon. We had used Pampering Plumber in the past and I called them first thing Monday morning to check their availability and to find out if they had one in stock. (We had called the big box stores and delivery was 2 weeks.) They had a unit and we scheduled an appointment for between 2 and 5pm that day. The installer called at 2pm and said he would be at our home by 2:45pm, which he was. The complete installation took approximately 2 hours. The old unit was removed and taken away. He also checked our water softener to make sure it was functioning properly. Straight forward job done properly. We will use Pampering Plumber for any future plumbing needs and would highly recommend their services.

Our kitchen garbage disposal stopped working and even sparked under the sink when you tried to use it. We called The pampering plumber late in the day and we got an appointment for the next morning. Very quick response and highly professional. Promptly completed the work and left the space as clean as when he arrived!

Plumber, Bill Larsen arrived on time and even wore protective booties on his shoes to protect our carpets. He ran a series of tests to determine the source of the clog and we learned a lot from him.

We had a leaking water heater over the holiday weekend. We called several companies on Tuesday morning recommended on Angie's List. We chose The Pampering Plumber who were efficient and empathetic and the most responsive on the phone. They had Art call first thing and he said he would be coming between 12 - 3. He came at 2pm ready to assess the situation. He gave us all of our options and never hesitated to answer my many questions. He wasn't aggressive with the sale and re-worked the costs over and over including and excluding items I was interested in. He was patient and professional. Although he was sent to install just a water heater he stayed an extra 4 hours installing the water softener and all house filtration system. He went above and beyond in all aspects of this job and we were delighted with the service, quality, and price. This experience was a definite pleasure and will recommend to everyone. It is a week later and everything has worked just as promised.
Description of Work: Installed a new water heater and softening system with an all filter system providing great drinking water from the faucets.

The plumber was prompt and professional. He snaked my kitchen drain several times without success, but he didn't quit. He spoke with the complex maintenance man to get additional information. After multiple attempts, the plumber was able to clear the clog and the party went off without a hitch.
Description of Work: My kitchen sink was clogged and I was having a party that night. He unclogged my kitchen sink after several tries and also improved the flow pressure of my kitchen faucet.

Had Pampering Plumber out before and felt they would be the best to do the job. They didn't disappoint. Replaced my seriously broken water heater. Even got the chance to see if we were the 10th water heater replaced to make it free, but we didn't win. Oh well. Everything went smooth.

Response from The Pampering Plumber
This work was completed in January 2012 ( about a year and a half ago ) . I understand that these types of maintenance calls on our home are unexpected , and I am accustomed to folks who have some sticker shock due to the fact that these things are not planned for . Keep in mind the work was quoted prior to begining and the price was accepted prior to performing . There was no obligation to pay the proposed price ( other than our $59 dispatch fee ) I reviewed the work order and found the following : The cost was approximatley $420 . There were several tasks completed that day . The cost of the material was about $150 .. obviously we mark up material . The technician had 3 hours into the job . So the labor to send a rolling warehouse with most parts and a technician with 30+ years of training and experience for 3 hours was $270 . It is reasonable for the industry . We spend thousands of dollars as a company making sure the technicians we send to your home ( your most valuable asset ) is screened in numerous areas including ( but not limited to) criminal and civil background checks, DMV records , and drug tests . We take it very seriously the type of person we employ and partner with, not every plumbing company can say the same . We attempt to call each and every customer 1 week after the work is completed to see how things went . It is noted that we did call your home and left a message regarding the service , but did not recieve a call back , which for all intents and purposes would indicated that you were pleased with our service . It is a bit of a let down to see less than good marks a year and a half later . We welcome all reviews and will do everything we can to make all of our customers satisfied ones . Thank you for your input . Please don't hesitate to call me direct with any concerns that you may have , past ,present or future. My direct numer is 813-597-0309 Respectfully , Colleen Suojanen , President

The next day, Art arrived at the appointment time to install the new water softener. He spent approximately 3 hours, removing the old one and installing the new one. Art didn't like the location of the brine discharge hose, so he dug another hole allowing the water to drain down several feet into the water table. Art came into the house to finish the paper work and said that he had to call the office to determine if I was the 10th customer. I really didn't know what he meant until he shouted, `Hey, you won!' Still clueless, Art let me know about Pampering Plumber's marketing program where every tenth water heater or water softener they install is FREE. Bottom line: I had just gotten a $1350 water softener installed free of charge! Check out page A62 of the May 2013 Angie's List periodical and you will see the promotion listed. Pampering Plumber trucks also have a green leprecaun and the words `Feeling Lucky' written on their trucks. I can attest to the fact that they do payoff on their advertising. Pampering Plumber has done a lot of work for me including diagnosing a water leak and rerouting my water main after my oak tree invaded the line. I find them responsive, knowledgeable, customer oriented and competent at solving plumbing problems. And in addition, I got a free water softener!!
Description of Work: The white scale on my dishes and the distinctive brine taste of my water pointed to a water softener problem. I called Pampering Plumber, the company who had installed the Aqua Pure model, six years earlier. I asked for a specific plumber, Art, and he was able to come by that afternoon. Art determined that the water softener was beyond repair and that I needed a new one. He didn't have a replacement on the truck, so he would return the next day with a new Clack replacement model. Art quoted $1350 for the work and I gave him a $337 check as a depost.

AJ arrived on time and assessed what needed to be done. The bathroom had been stripped down to the studs. He installed all copper tubing changing the 1/2 inch feeds to 3/4 inch copper. There was an overhead shower head that needed to be installed and he cleverly went through the attic. We installed a feed for a hand wand and 2 body sprays. When the tile was installed he came back and finished the job the bathroom is spectacular with the water flowing freely. What an enjoyable experience taking a shower. I would recommend the Pampered plumber for any plumbing job required.

It went very good. Everything is fine now and i'm getting good pure water now. I went down from having to use 4 filters to 3 filters for efficiency. I was very happy with the price as well vs the old system I had. I put N/A on the quality due to this just being installed. I would like to wait to see how the quality turns out.

I called Pampering Plumber to explain the situation and they sent someone out within two hours. Eric looked at what had to be done, and immediately wrote an estimate. Once I agreed to the price, he got right to work, explained what he was doing as he did it, and showed me what had to be done to get the job up to code. He was very pleasant, and no nonsense. Because they come out in a stocked truck, he was able to complete the job on the spot.

Date of service is approximate. Very pleasant experience. Came on a Saturday with no extra charge and phoned to let me know he was still on another job and would be coming in an hour. It did not matter that they squeezed me in when I called on a Friday and that it was close to dinner time and he had been working all day. He cared about keeping my home clean from the moment he knocked at the door. As a homeowner who prefers to let experts handle certain things, I am very pleased with The Pampering Plumber and would use again. The total cost of disposal and labor was $266 and the price included an online coupon printed from Angie's List. P.S. Loved the decorative soap left as a calling card! Nice touch.

The receptionist who answered my call was very professional and described the entire process to me. On the day the plumber arrived, he went through the process that the recetionist decribed, which included an assessment of the clogged drains and he provided an estimated and description of his proposed course of action. He fixed the clogs and everything is fine.

I am very disappointed by The Pampering Plumber. They are not only late for the appointment, they asked multiple trips and $160 per hour for labor and approx. $450 in total to replace a kitchen sink faucet with small leak on pullout spout, I feel that is outrageous price. Would that only takes 15-30 mins for a pro to replace it? I paid $59 for their estimate but I am not happy at all about the estimate and their punctuality.

Response from The Pampering Plumber
With all due respect for this client where can you have an old faucet removed and replaced with a new one in 15 minutes ? The client called to schedule because there was a leak under the kitchen sink . Our CSR scheduled the call outside of our 4 hour Parameters to accomodate this clients schedule ( it was scheduled for the technician to arrive between 4 and 5 pm ) Our technician arrived at 5:15. While technically we were late , we call every client and inform them that we are on our way, if the client was unhappy with the time , they did not mention it when notified .Virtually every service business that I know will give you a window of 2-4 hours becasue of the unknown for the previous call.. It is uncustomary to reduce that to a one hour window as we did for this client . I really think that arriving 15 minutes past the scheduled time is not extraordinary. The technician determined that the faucet could be repaired but we would have to order the part in which would essentially require an additional trip . The technician also offered a replacement faucet that he had on his truck for a quoted amount of $464. This particular faucet retails at $300+. This does not include labor , or any addtional fittings needed . The client decided against it and was asked to pay the $59 dispatch fee at the time of service . The client was not prepared to pay for the service call as he told the technician he did not have his credit card with him , therefore the technician had to leave the job without collecting . Our office staff contacted the client the next day to collect via telephone . Our service technician spent 1/2 hour diagnosing the problem and prepared a written quote with two options to the customer . I understand that plumbing is never an anticipated expense , but we strive to make the experience as pleasant as possible . It is unfortunate that we can not stock every replacement part for every faucet, we do our best to research the most common parts nedded for success and take pride in our knowledge of the different manufactures . I regret that this customer was so displeased and offer our aplologies . Best , Colleen Suojanen , President
