I called ProPlumbing in the AM and they agreed to come out same day. In between when I called and when they came out, Lowes installed a washer and flooded by condo from top to bottom. As a result the water to my entire condo was shut off. When ProPlumbing came, I asked if they could replace the valve and get the water back on then fix the shower issue. They didn't have time. I completely understood. I also understood that I would need to pay for the service call. All was good. Then the plumber had to call the "office" who told him he needed to look at the shower head - even though absolutely nothing could be done because my unit flooded and all the water was shut down. He literally "looked" at it for about 30 seconds and commented that it was old. He then said that would be an additional $100. Naturally I complained vehemently and he agreed to just charge the fee for the service call, but could not give the Angie's List discount because no other work was done. While he was here he also looked at, without my requesting, the plumbing under the sink. He laughed saying it was not installed properly and it's old. After he left I had another plumber come in who took care of the shower issue for $20 plus a service call and said the piping under the sink is old and not the latest-and-greatest, but there is nothing wrong with it unless it causes a problem.

I'm very sorry that you didn't have an excellent experience with us, but after speaking with my technician I think there was just a couple of misunderstandings which we would be happy to correct if we had the chance. I think the first misunderstanding was when we went to the job we were not aware of your plight and we thought that you still wanted us to at least fix what we came for. We didn't think it was fair that we would charge you for a service call and not do anything. That being said, thank you for your patronage.

They did a good job. We were pleased with their installation. The price was comparable so it was fine. The two others I checked out were comparable. They were very responsive. They came on time. We were very pleased with their professionalism and everything else.

Chuck and his team did a great job. They arrived on time, did the work perfectly, & were a pleasure to have in the house. They made the process of removal of the old water heater and installation of the new water heater easy and painless, and cleaned up after themselves. Their pricing was much better than other bids for the job. I am very happy with the results. This was my first time hiring them, and I will definitely hire them again for any kind of plumbing job I may need in the future.

Great job! Handled both matters quickly and professionally. In and out in no time. Very pleased with total cost also. Chuck was very easy to work with, gave us a great price, and managed to squeeze us in the next day. Will definitely use again as our first choice if need arises. Thanks to other customers for the reports that led us to Pro-plumbing! They were right on!

Thank you for the review. I looked up your information and noticed we cleared your drains at a very competitive price, we additionally gave you a substantial Angie's List Discount. As for the toilet, you chose a higher end Toto toilet. That price included the installation, a comfort height elongated Toto Drake toilet, new shut off valve, new supply line, wax ring, bolts, caulking & tax. We are actually about $200 less than our competitors on that particular Toto model & we guarantee it for 5 years, parts & labor. That being said, we do have other brands, like Gerber or American Standard, that are less expensive. Thank you for your business.

When my hot water heater stopped working, I checked reviews on Angie’s List for a new plumber and a different brand of heater. The reviews for Pro Plumber Works looked good so on Saturday morning I gave them a call. The owner, Charles Burns returned my call within the hour and quoted me a price on a new heater. It sounded like a good deal so I accepted his offer. He said that he would have to check on his source for availability on Monday, and could come out Monday or Tuesday. His installer, Victor arrived around 4 PM Monday afternoon and had the new heater installed within a couple of hours. Both Chuck and Victor were knowledgeable, personable and efficient. The equipment installed was exactly as described and for exactly the price quoted. My new hot water heater is a Rheem Professional Classic Plus, 50-gallon electric, with an additional Protector Plus anode. I was given a 12-year factory Warranty on the tank and parts. Chuck gave me his own 5-year Warranty on labor. The new hot water heater works perfectly and supplies plenty of hot water.
Description of Work: Replaced my old hot water heater with a new 50-gallon Rheem Pro Classic Plus. Installation included minor changes to the plumbing connections and removal of the old equipment.

Professional service. Arrived later than scheduled appointment, but had the courtesy and professionalism to call and let me know they got tied up at prior appointment. Service tech was polite and professional. Additional $95 charge was assessed to replace a ball valve, but it was explained to my satisfaction. The technician scrambled to finish the job on time, and I am totally satisfied with the professionalism and quality of work. Would hire again.

Thank you for the excellent review. Sorry we ran a little late, sometimes customers like the way we work & then have us repair other plumbing issues they have since we are already there.

His price was too high. I felt that they gave me a high price because they didn't want to come up to Venice where I lived which is only about I don't know 25 minutes away.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from Pro-Plumbing Works LLC for plumbing services. All I had to do was a kitchen faucet, take the old one out and replace it with a new one. It was the same type of faucet that I had before.I had the faucet of course because it was a good one and the company sent me the new one.

Response from Pro-Plumbing Works LLC
I'm sorry you were not completely satisfied with our services. Even though the price seemed high to you, it was actually very competitive. Without getting into all the details, running a business in Florida is very expensive. There are truck repairs and insurance, materials, safety equipment, education, uniforms, employee taxes, workmans comp, liability insurance, office work and supplies, storage fees, fuel, tools, advertising, and on & on. After all those costs, the profit on $175 is almost negligible. That being said, I feel your being a little harsh by giving us a D rating. We work hard to make sure that all of our customers are 100% completely satisfied and we provide a high quality service that we guarantee for for 5 years. Thank you again for your business.
