Our water heater started leaking a LOT overnight. We have a gas water heater and a family member mentioned that TECO has a program to get your water heater replaced on a payment plan. Therefore, we had to use Meares because that is who TECO sent out. However, everyone I spoke to at Meares was very pleasant, helpful and professional. We ended up getting a tankless heater after talking with the technician. He explained all the options, and didn't seem to be pressuring me to pick one kind of heater over another. He was able to get the unit installed, including removing the old unit, and moving some of the water lines around in about half a day. Everything looks very neatly done and very secure on the wall. I am happy with the work that was done.

After the sink and toilet were removed I was informed the job was $600.00. So I was being overcharged. When I called the company and addressed my concerns, he was going to ask someone about my issue but he never called me back nor discussed a possible resolution. I terminated their services and hired my own plumber who would have done the entire job for $350.00. Its a shame the entire tile job went so perfect with the exception for this plumbing company and being ripped off.

Was very impressed with the company overall from start to finish. The call taker heather was very polite and professional. They arrived on time and with a courtesy call prior to arrival. Very well dressed and groomed. Very polite and explained the process as he (Matthew) worked. Kept me informed of everything the whole time. Great workmanship and no complaints at all. Highly recommended to everyone.

They said we needed to purchase a new toilet. We asked about the spare bath toilet that was working fine and were told it was a matter of time. We purchased two new toilets installed. Our kitchen faucet has an occasional leak and were told that it needed to be replaced too. We did not replace and it is still working fine. I would recommend if you are looking to replace plumbing fixtures.

Paid for a promo via Angies List to clean water softener. Refused to do work or even to inspect softener. Tried to sell me a replacement for over $2000. When I refused to purchase, I was told to contact Angie for a refund.

Mr. [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry we couldn't do the tune up for you and fix the pressure problems your having but it definitely wouldn't have helped. Water Softeners are something we take very seriously as there are multiple brands/companies that produce multiple warranty issues which ends up being a huge headache for the customer and a nightmare for a company so we only offer the best and give the best warranties. The softener you were quoted comes with a 10 year parts and labor warranty and is the best on the market right now by far. Since we were at your home in November we have had feedback from other customers about adding another option that is less expensive and we have done that. If you'd like us to reach out to you and discuss that option let me know. Unfortunately you do have to go through Angie's List for the refund since we weren't able to help but if you experience any problems at all we would be more than willing to help in any capacity we can. Thank you, Tommy Baker Service Manager

Everything went absolutely fine. The man that showed up was professional and courteous. The reason I wouldn't hire them again is because the first product he introduced to me was the most expensive. I would have been more responsive to him and would have probably used them again had he started by asking me relevant questions, offering me options and then I would have made my decision.

I looked on Angie's List, Google, Amazon Home Services and Yelp to find a plumber - reading reviews in the hope of finding an honest, reputable and quality plumbing company. It seems like even the A-rated companies have a number of reviews that question the price or the quality of the service(s) performed. Meares Plumbing had all positive reviews and they serviced my area. I was able to get a technician the same day I called plus as an Angie's list customer, they waived the service call fee. Adolfo called to let me know he was 30 minutes out and he arrived precisely on time. He took care to cover his shoes when he came into my home which I always appreciate! He was able to find the problem right away and gave me several options for repair. The leak was coming from the faucet which I knew needed a washer for about a month or so - I just had no idea the dribbling water that came from the faucet was leaking down under the sink! He first tried to fit the faucet with a washer but the size needed was not standard. The faucet was actually part of a set that came with the sink that was installed about 3 years ago. A friend had already tried to fix the washer problem so I knew there was some issue with the quality of the faucet ( I could see it!) Adolfo also pointed out to me that all my stoppers were compromised - as when he tried to turn off the water, they leaked! My water is very hard and takes a toll on everything. We agreed that he would replace the faucet and with that came new stoppers, lines and a warranty for labor. The price was outstanding and I was able to run to the local Lowe's to pick out a faucet that I thought would compliment the existing sink. I offer the highest praise for Adolfo's professionalism - he was knowledgeable, honest, personable and just a pleasure to do business with. After performing the work, he cleaned up the area thoroughly. The new faucet works beautifully and looks so much better than the old one! I feel like I have found a plumber who I can expect to fix my plumbing issues and be honest about what I need (and don't need!!) I couldn't be more thrilled. :) Thank you, Meares Plumbing for providing such a qualified and topnotch technician!

Johnny came out and did the quote. He was helpful and informative. It was a somewhat complicated situation because it was tenant/landlord and the landlord was not expecting such issues (costs). Johnny explained the situation to the landlord and kept us all in the loop. When he came to install he was friendly and respectful. He was quick and clean. We recently had a minor leak from the newly installed line (manufacturing defect) and they dispatched Johnny right away. He fixed the problem and replaced all the necessary parts. As always, he was friendly and on time! Great experience!
Description of Work: We moved into a rental property and the previous tenants did not report any of the wear and tear to the landlord in the 3 years they were here. We had both bathroom toilets constantly running and both faucets in the master bathroom leaked around the internal seal. So, both faucets and both toilets were replaced along with all lines and valves.

Took tech almost an hour to figure out how to get the faucet apart. A basic, cartridge type faucet that is only about 15-18 years old. Felt that the price quoted was pretty high but as long as he was there and the faucet was apart, may as well go ahead. Then he had to go for parts. Replaced cartridge and o-rings. Also replaced a stop valve and extended a feed line. Had to call them back after a day as there was a leak. I'm not sure If I would use them again. If I did, I would try to get an estimate before the work was started. Glad that they warranty their work.

They replaced all the inside parts in the tank. There were 2 guys that came out. They were excellent. We also brought a product from them that should help keep the drains clean (Bio-Smart). They showed up right on time, and called before they came. They gave us an estimate ahead of time, and the end cost matched the beginning estimate. The plumbing was $190, and the bottle of Bio-Smart was $59.

Mathew and Ryan were on time, extremely professional, and their experience quickly diagnosed the issue as pipe expansion. This in turn alleviated us from having to file an insurance claim, and unknown time and frustration waiting for our master bath to be demolished, and redone over a non-issue. For peace-of-mind, we asked them to perform an entire check of the house plumbing system, and were greatly relieved that everything checked out fine. We will use and recommend Meares Plumbing for all future plumbing services! Phenomenal experience.

Ed was my plumber/technician. Ed was very professional and informative. I knew what he was doing and why the entire time. He spent over an hour at my house discussing my problem and educating me. He did not have to do this but he wrote down ALL of my water softener settings for me just in case my water softener loses it's settings in a power outage (which is the issue with my "old" softener). My water softener is ready to be updated and replaced, Ed gave me price quotes and information on 2 water softeners that his company installs. I will definitely use Meares Plumbing again and have them install a new softener when I am ready to purchase.
Description of Work: I needed a water softener re-set and looked at.
