I highly recommed Bob Hyps Plumbing! Overall, I would rate the experience an A+. Both Bob and the employee that assisted him were professional and courteous. Bob was quick to set up an appointment and arrived on time. They worked efficiently and cleaned up after the project.
Description of Work: Our toilet had not worked properly for the past year. During that time we had two other plumbers come out to look at the toilet. The first plumber replaced the seal and the second plumber said nothing was wrong with the toilet. Still in need of a solution, we contacted Bob Hyps Plumbing based on the Angie's List reviews. After ruling out the common causes of a clogged toilet, Bob and another employee removed the toilet to look at the pipe. They discovered our pipe was partially blocked with grout from when our tile floors were installed. Once Bob knew the problem, he and his assistant quickly fixed the situation. They drilled out the grout from the pipe and reinstalled the toilet. The mystery of the clogged toilet has finally been solved!

Bob, the owner, came out the first time. He sent out two of his employees on the 2nd job, who also were on time, knowledgeable, neatly dressed, friendly, and professional. They also didn't leave the job with a mess for me to clean up. Bob came out a third time with one of his employees on a different problem and I received the same great service. If time permits, i would avoid over-the-phone estimates with any company. I have needed a number of different services in my home and until the repair person comes out and actually sees the job, over -the-phone estimates are pretty meaningless, I have found.
Description of Work: Repaired buried, damaged water line that was hit when the pest control company was drilling holes for the termite prevention chemicals. The company works with Bob HYPS when this happens. It required chipping out concrete, too. We did not have time to call around. This was an over-the-phone fixed price. $475 Additional Work: 01/10/2013 Replaced old faucet and p-trap and rebuild toilet tank $245 (price was over the phone estimate of $160, but under the actual cost of the additional hours reguired to fix the old plumbing.) 01/18/2013 Rebuilt leaking shower head $ 87.65

Excellent, prompt service. We needed to have the issue resolved since new tenants were arriving. Bob was on time and completed the job quickly and professionally. Also, gave a guarantee for 60 days on the work. Since we are new to the area we are thrilled to have found a good plumber for both our home and investment property.

Bob Hyps is a small 2-man crew based nearby; we prefer working directly with the owner/craftsman. We hired Bob mainly to fix a leaky Moen shower valve, but added lots of other tasks to make best use of his visit--including install 2 new showerheads, install one new powder room faucet assembly, fix a leaky toilet seal, and flush the hot water heater. Bob arrived on time last week. He and his able assistant divided up the work and got it all done in 2.75 hours--all but the kitchen sink flange replacement. Bob spent nearly an hour disassembling the disposer and installing what turned out to be the WRONG flange that I had purchased at Lowes. Today, a week later, Bob returned to install the correct flange I'd specially ordered from the mfr. Total charge for BOTH visits was $325--MINUS the $25 coupon Bob offers to Angie's members. The charge INCLUDED a new Moen valve cartridge and toilet parts that Bob supplied. Total LABOR charge --not counting parts and coupon-- was app. $265, which I believe is an excellent value for all the work that was done--over 6 man-hours. Bob's quirky sense of humor appears to have rubbed a couple customers the wrong way, but we found him and his helper pleasant and easy-going, as well as quite skillful and reasonable compared to other plumbers we have dealt with. Based on the total experience we would move Bob Hyps to the top of our list of local plumbers and call on him for any future work.

I have used Bob Hyps for the past couple of years to take care of various plumbing issues. He was always able to squeeze me in to his schedule, usually same day, and address the issue promptly. He fixed various plumbing problems in my house as they arose, such as a problem with not receiving hot water, and fixing two shower heads, as water was leaking into the wall, and into the next room with one, and the other one just stopped working. He fixed all the problems, and was very reasonably priced. He and his assistant Max are very friendly, too, which makes for a very pleasant "plumbing experience." I highly recommend!

Woke up to a clogged drain in the bathroom on a Saturday morning. Checked Angie's List and called Bob. He was in the middle of a job but after asking about my needs he said he would call back when finished. He did just that and was here and had me fixed within the hour. Super nice guy. I would recommend him to anyone. A great experience.

Attitude was terrible. Acted like he was doing us a favor. It was on a Sat. but you will note he shows Sat. working hours. When asked how much he would charge he quoted a very high price (we didn't realize the price was so high compared to others at the time) compared to what other plumbers would charge but indicated he would be here within an hour which was important to us because we had out of town company. I did ask what he would charge if we waited until Monday and he said the same. He came to the house not in the hour he said but about three hours later. We had to provide the disposal because we wanted a size he could not provide. On the Angie's List web site he had a coupon for $25.00 but wouldn't honor it saying he isn't charging overtime which was never brought up at the time we spoke to him. At the time to pay him I was picking up someone at the airport and my guests as well as my wife said he was argumentative and very difficult to deal with. It's all about attitude and his was terrible! I would never use him again, none of my neighbors would and hopefully anyone reading this review won't.

Bob was extremely responsive with our inquiry and suggestions. He offered opinions and also provided research based on our preferences. We ultimately went with his recommendation. He procured the toilet and he and his crew installed it at the appointed time -- very punctual, clean and professional. A day after installation, we experienced a problem of a failed valve -- no fault of the crew -- but, they came out immediately and fixed it and only charged us for the replacement part. I can thankfully say this was one of the best experiences I've had with plumbers. I would definitely use Bob and his crew again.

It went very well. Came when he said he would be there. Started work on the sink right away. Cleaned up any mess he made and the sink looks great. My husband can't remember the gentlemans name that came but said he was very nice and very informative on what he was doing. We would for sure call them again when/if we need a plumber again.
Description of Work: We looked on angies list for a plumber, has my husband tried to put in a new sink/faucet for our daughter and messed up. I looked for companys rated A only. There was alot of them,but I also like them bonded as well as licensed. I found one that we had used before and sent him an email as he was closed at the time. I then found Bobs Hypa Plumbing and they were open so I called. I talked to Bob and he said he could come the next day and I asked if he would be able to tell us the cost before he started and he said no problem. I gave the info but wasn't sure I gave all information correctly so emailed him through Angies List and he called back right away. Said someone would call my husband and give a time that the repairmen would be there. Called around 10am Wed. morning and said he would be there in 30 min.and he was. He started the work and my husband asked about how much and he said about $160. The other price from other plumber said around $300. So my husband told him to go ahead. He worked on the sink, had to cut a pipe for the pipes to connect correctly..Had everything up and running in about 2 hrs. Price was as stated plus we got $25 off for being a Angies List memeber.

Called Bob Hyps Plumbing after the in-laws came to visit for Christmas and flushed some cotton wipes down the toilet causing the entire house to back up. They came out within a couple hours and cleared it quickly. There were some minor roots in our pipe going to the street as well that they cleared out. Price was a little higher than other plumbers I've used in the past for the same service but was still reasonable and considering the speed of response and it being the day after Christmas I have no complaints. Bob is a little sarcastic and I could see how that might be a turn off to some who might want someone a bit more 'serious' but all I really care about is getting my problem resolved and he did that. He was also very polite to my guests who were still here with their small children running around.
Description of Work: Did a main line cleanout from the surface cleanout outside my house which was clogged toward the street.

I was washing my car, when I saw water coming from the other side of the fence. I saw that I twisted the line to the water spicket and caused it to crack. It was just above the T to the hose and I had to shut off the main water. I called BOB and him and his assistant came the same day. These guys have the best personalities and were very cool! Bob cracked a joke right away to get me to laugh about the situation. The fixed the problem right away and was done within an hour. I will recommend these guys to anyone.

We called Bob and explained our situation. He gave us the quote over the phone and even let us know the service would be cheaper if we waited until Monday. We decided to have them come out on Sunday anyway. To our surprise Max and Camron were at the house within 45 minutes!! These two young men were very polite, professional and incredibly efficient. They cleared our clogged drain and made sure everything in the other bathrooms and kitchen were working properly before they left. BOB HYPS PLUMBING, INC is now our only plumber!

The new knob went well. The outside water line pipe looked like a weaving snake that was attached poorly to objects along the way. The filter piping fell off the wall, requiring a return call. It is a very sloppy job. The pipes do not align up at all. I am very disappointed and I do not trust them to try to fix it; I'm afraid it will end up worse than it already is.
Description of Work: I had a new water filter installed in place of a water softener, a water line extended outside, and a new decorative knob added to the outside spicket.

It was apparent that we had a water leak in the master bathroom. Bob Hyps quickly diagnosed the problem as a shower pan leak and helped us selected a great contractor (Ed Armas: E.A Contracting Inc). Ed removed the existing shower door, demo and dispose of the tile to expose the shower pan membrane at which point Bob Hyps repaired and replaced the shower pan. Then Ed built up a mud base for the floor, replaced any water damaged wall board, retiled the floor, grouted the area and replaced the shower door. this job was complicated by the cramp inefficient design of beach condo. Bob and Ed are amiable detailed oriented professionals. If you are considering a bathroom remodel or unfortunately you experience a plumbing emergency why stress just hire Bob Hyps and you will have one less headache in your life.
