I was very satisfied with their work and professionalism. Both times I contracted them they responded to phone calls immediately and appeared at my house ready to work when promised. The cost for repiping was in line with what I believed I would have to pay to have this done ( upon searches on the internet and contact with other homeowners who had this done previously.) I have to hand it to the guys repiping my house, they had to work in a confined space -- I have limited crawl space underneath my house. Not the ideal working environment.
Description of Work: Two projects -- first was to replace a 35 year old gas water heater and then a week or so later to repipe my house. I have an old house with 90 year old galvanized piping -- it sprang a leek underneath my kitchen floor. Chuck's Plumbing repiped the house and shop (water heater and washing machine). Before he could schedule a crew, he had one of his men patch the leak so I wouldn't have to continually turn the water on and off at the street on an add-needed basis.

Thank you for your review. Delivering quality, professional and timely services as well as the best guarantees in town requires us to charge a little more than some smaller companies. We believe, as do the majority of our clients, we deliver on these value added services. If you feel other wise and would like to discuss your visit with me, my cell is 813-695-7556.

The office responded the same day I called. She was able to get a technician to come out the next day. The office staff called to give me a heads up when he was on his way. Bobby was very nice and seems to be efficient. He was able to fix everything in one hour after he gave me a quote.
Description of Work: Bobby replaced my bathtub faucet valve to stop the leak. Also he helped fix my toilet seat.

There were no troubles with scheduling. They made sure to be able to find out where the biggest area of concern would be and making sure that we would use our money through the deal most appropriately. The technician was very knowledgeable in being able to do what he needed to do. The company itself was really wonderful. I would use their services again.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for $99 for $200 plumbing services. They replaced some older plumbing under the bathroom sink that was located in the wall.

We had a main line clearance break. It shut our lab down. We called them, because we were a regular customer. They said they would get someone out later that day. We called back early afternoon and were then told that they were doing an $8000 job and they were not going to put that ahead of our issue. They were quite rude. I will never use them again and hope no one else does either.
Description of Work: Nothing on this visit. We had used them several times and the prices were high and the plumbing problem was not getting fixed in our restroom.

Response from Chuck's Plumbing
This is a commercial building manager. We told them that we were busy and offered to refer them to another plumbing company, they asked if we could come later and we said we can not promise a time. If someone here was rude it was not intended. We warranty all our work, commercial builds were many people work use their restrooms hundreds of time more per week than your typical four to five person family, so things wear out faster and because it is not their home less care is given to the plumbing fixtures. I promise if we fix something at your home we will stand behind our work no questions ask. If you ever have an issue with our work call my cell 813-695-7556 or the office main line 813-933-0477 and we will solve your issue. Chuck Detari

They were good. I bought their $99 Big Deal; I paid additional $380 for I had a toilet installed. It was a little bit more expensive than what I was planning. I bought the toilet myself and I thought it was a little bit steep to have a toilet put in. They were really nice but they were two hours late getting here but they were pretty quick to call me and set up the appointment. I had to call them to find out why they were not here.
Description of Work: I used Chuck's Plumbing. They put in a toilet and went around and checked all the sinks and other toilets. They also fixed the water level on my daughter’s toilet and plunged her tub.

The total cost for a new water heater was about $700. They were pretty straightforward about the explanation of the problems. They opened up our old water heater and showed us the problems. We went with them to install a new water heater; they were able to do that the same day. Two employees were able to do the work for us and I felt that they were courteous and did a good job.

Mike and Cleveland were very polite and professional. They found and repaired the leak under the house and showed me the two leaking elbow joints which needed replacement. They also replaced three leaking shutoff valves under the sink, Total time on site was approximately 2 hrs and 45 minutes. Price for entire job was what I expected and in line with what plumbers charge in todays market,

This was the best plumbing experience I have ever had. I own several rental properties and have used different plumbing companies in the past. By far this was the best experience ever. I had chase and his apprentice show up to the property to fix a leak I had in a bathroom. They were very courteous and professional. Have me a ton of tips on Maintenon and how to avoid problems in the future. Not to mention they were able to fix everything under the Angie's list coupon.

Great installation job, left no mess whatsoever. Friendly service technician. No problem working with the company in upgrading the offer from standard toilet to tall-boy for an additional agreed upon price. The toilet was delivered with the wrong color tank, so the service tech. waited here until a tank of the proper color was delivered. All in all a very good experience with this vendor. First time Angie's List user here.

We were not pleased with him. The quote was almost $1,200. He looked at the showers and said that the handles were defective and they would cost $250 each and it would be another $250 to replace the faucets. The quote was way high. He went around to the showers and messed with them. I started messing with the showers later and figured how to work with them correctly and I got them to work. He would have ripped me off for like $750. His quote was astronomically high and he was trying to cheat me.
Description of Work: We got a quote from Chuck's Plumbing because when we moved into this house, our showers weren't getting any hot water. Also we needed two faucets replaced in sinks.

This gentleman is a house flipper who just wanted to pay handy man prices. We sent out our best tech who receives rave reviews. The water heater tank had failed and was leaking across the garage floor but he did not want to address it. The tub and shower valves in this home have a cartridge that fails (not the handle) so often than we purchase them in case quantities. I promise we did not offer to do any repairs that were not needed. We offer quality service and the best warranties in town. We do not promise to be the low price leader, nor are we a good fit for house flippers who rarely care about quality. Chuck Detari

I couldn't be more impressed with this company. The customer service representative was very profesional and followed up with a heads up that the service tech was coming 45 min in advance. My service tech, Mike, was prompt pleasant and efficient and was done within a hour. And, the valve looks and works wonderfully. From my call to the service call was only a couple of hours at the most. I did not rate the price of my services because I have nothing to compare it with. But, I had a $30.00 coupon from Angie's list and I can't imagine they were not competitive. What a great experience!!

I know we live in FL but I just do not see any pipes on the outside walls of people's houses. Plus he came in with a bid twice as high as another Angie's List plumber. If I were you -- make sure to get another bid from another plumber before having him do any work for you.
Description of Work: Had Chuck Detari (the owner) out to our house to give us a bid on a complete hot & cold re-piping of our house. We had a water pipe break in our cement slab. He seemed like he had an attitude about what we were questioning him about. Was told he would have to do the piping of the hot and cold water on the outside of our house in a couple of places. He would take a picture of the outside of our house and take it to Home Depot to match the color and paint the new water pipes. This just sounded really strange to me.

Thank you for your review. I may be confident but I promise I would never be rude or display attitude to a client.I take time to answer all questions. Many of these estimates are give in the evening after a long day at work so if I was rude I sincerely apologize. When we replace all the hot and cold water lines in a home and some of the fixtures are on an exterior block wall we have several choices as to where to place the pipes, exposed in the room (not acceptable in kitchens and bath rooms, but ok in laundry rooms and garages), open the wall from ceiling to fixture causing more drywall repairs or exposed on the outside block wall. The third option is a viable option here in central Florida do to our mild climate. We can photograph the exterior wall and match the paint so we can paint the small 1/2 diameter pipe to blend in to the wall. This is a widely accepted practice in the bay area. If the client wants the pipes in these exterior walls we gladly and carefully open the walls and secure the pipes inside. Our re-pipes are done with Uponor Pro Pex piping and come with a lifetime warranty to the original home owner and a twenty five year transferable warranty (a great item when selling the home). Many companies are still using CPVC pipe for re-pipes, but this is a inferior and defective product. We offer great friendly service and stand behind our product and workmanship. Chuck Detari

Purchased deal Called and scheduled appointment Told that I would receive an email with tech's name and proof of background check (W-O-W) Received call from Chuck (owner) the day before to confirm some details. My maiden name is on my paypal account and the appointment was under my married name. He called due to the discrepancy. (Again, W-O-W) Received email with the tech's name, photo and details. (W-O-W) My window was 10am-12pm and I received a call from Chuck at 10:58 am stating that I was the tech's next appointment. He was delayed as the last customer asked that he look at something else, but he should be calling me shortly stating that the tech is on his way. I was so impressed by everything up to this point. Chuck called again at 11:37 am stating that the tech was on his way and should arrive in about 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Bobby called from the gate at 11:59. He was extremely personable from the second I opened the door. Once I opened the garage and explained the issue with our water heater, he immediately confirmed our suspicions that something was not right. At the end of the water heater flush, and general inspection of plumbing, he provided the various quotes and options. I definitely recommend this company. My only complaint is that I don't feel the "whole house plumbing inspection" is worded properly. All he did is check the toilets, look under the sinks and check the water pressure. I would expect a more thorough inspection based on the wording (even if it is accurate).

We just moved into a new house and we're having problems with the well water. I thought it might be the hot water heater since it was old (20 yrs old). The serviceman arrived punctually, was very courteous, knowledgable and even helped me understand the equipment that I have. He did an awesome job and told me it wasn't the hot water heater that was my problem. On another note, while he was there, I asked him to replace some rusty plumbing in one of our bathrooms. He was excellent, fast and Chuck's gave us a very nice discount on the service. Thank you Chuck's! We'll definitely use you in the future.
