The plumber was in my house less than 10 minutes. He fished around the inside of my disposal with a screw driver for perhaps 30 - 45 seconds to dislodge a piece of a walnut that was stuck in the spinning part of the unit. Then it was done! For that I paid $135 which included the Angie's List discount. He was pleasant enough but when I asked if I was required to pay that much; he didn't offer any additional discount.
Description of Work: The garbage disposal was not spinning. Motor running fine.

In August, 2015 we chose Chuck's Plumbing (based on an Angie's List rating) to move our water softener to a different location in our garage and to repair it which included putting a new head on it. We paid $2380 for this. When the softener was not working, they came out in November and totally replaced the inside of the softener, for another $649. We called Chuck's at least 4 times by April for softener issues. First, the plumber said the guys who set it up had an incorrect setting so we were not getting soft water. The next time the plumber said the guy before didn't flip a switch. The next time we called because water was spraying all over the garage from the softener. In May, after still not getting consistently soft water we called Chuck and after we insisted that he come out himself, he apologized for the problems, said he had seen that we were calling repeatedly and should have come out himself earlier. He reset the water softener?, ran a manual cycle, said it was 1 grain off and that it needed a new valve. He promised to be back the next Monday, but he never came back and never called again. At this point we were not calling Chuck back and called another plumber who told us that once Chuck's replaced the head on our softener it cannot be reprogrammed. The 1 grain off and defective valve was a mystery to him. Basically what Chuck told us about our water capacity was incorrect, it cannot be reprogrammed and we will never have soft water consistently unless we buy a new unit. We are totally disgusted at Chuck's Plumbing and assume that the way he got to the top of Angie's List is because he paid for the advertising.
Description of Work: Move the water softener and do maintenance on the unit.

Excellent! No better way to describe them. From the persons who answered the telephone (Chuck himself, and Daryl), to the plumbers (Vinnie, Bobby & Richie), bar none, every person was polite, helpful, knowledgable, informative, courteous, and treated our home as if it was their home (shoes off, covered everything). We were offered immediate assistance (which we deferred until Monday), informed of pricing up front, and as we went along depending on what was found, which they showed us in pictures, accompanied by explanations of options and likely outcomes. There was debris (tile pieces from a previous owner) and sludge buildup in the pipe where the toilet, bath and shower joined. In a addition, the pipe is angled slightly downward, so there is some back flow. They visualized this with a fiber optic video camera (and checked all the rest of the pipes in our home and out to the street). They cleaned out the debris and sludge with a "Jet Spray", and recommended the best way to keep the lines flushed to try to avoid future problems, and hopefully avoid digging up the entire line to correct the angle. They then showed us the "after" pictures, so we could see the pipes were cleared. We feel they were extremely professional (yet friendly), and performed high quality work for a fair price. We give Chuck's Plumbing our highest recommendation, without any reservation!

They gave me a really high price compared to some other quotes I got from other businesses. I don't think the guy who came to give me the quote was very knowledgeable about what he was doing and what the pricing should be for the job. They were going to come back the next day to send a camera through the system to check out the line, but if they did that, I would have been committed to hiring them for the repair.

Very professional business. Everyone i spoke with including the plumber that came out were very professional which is hard to find. Plumber came by and inspected my home's plumbing and made some recommendations to get fixed which was helpful as i just purchased the home. In the end, I ended up getting the issues fixed by another company yesterday as the pricing from the other company were 1/3 of what i was quoted from Chuck's.

Called to take advantage of Angie's list coupon camera inspection and drain clean and Chuck said we don't come over on weekends with this deal. I said we could do it during the week and asked for the latest appointment he had as we work. He said he could come between 3 and 5 but sounded very annoyed and added it will be close to 5 for the coupon deal. He said "you have to understand I can't pay my people overtime for this cheaper deal". Didn't ask for overtime. He really sounded put out and kept going on about the cheap price stressing that it needed to be earlier in the day--weekdays only for the deal. He said the ad mentions HE can make the rules. Guess he doesn't want our business. I understand he makes the rules for his own business and I understand not wanting to pay folks overtime. Just can't for the life of me understand the attitude. We could have turned out to be a solid, repeat customer. Not now. I'll call someone else happy for my business and with better customer service skills.

This did not sit well with me as I felt taken. Angie's list reviews are designed to help people to not get caught in this type of come on. I hope that this prevents others from getting over charged. I believe that their business model is because they are already in your home you will probably do the work.
Description of Work: I called to ask the price to clear a plugged kitchen sink. Was told that they do not give prices over the phone but it only cost $29.00 for a service call and then they would give a price. This turned out to be a classic BAIT AND SWITCH. When they arrived the price was $277.00 for the sink. I had already received a price from another Angie's list plumber and told the Chuck's plumber that I could get it done for $155.00 would you do it for that price since you are here. No, so I paid the $29.00 come on price and used the other plumber. A low ball service call price turned out to be a big come on. Don't fall for it.

Response from Chuck's Plumbing
I promise we do not bait and switch. I apologize that we did not explain our process better. We have a $29 service charge for one of our well trained technicians to see your issue in person because the office staff (customer service reps and dispatchers) cannot diagnose your problem over the phone, that is why they cannot give a price over the phone, not that we are hidding anything. We have drain cleaning services that start a $99, but this does not cover every possible drain issue. When your kitchen sink is not draining, that is a symptom. The problem can be as simple as something stuck in the p-trap below the sink, in which case we can remove the trap and clean it out by hand. But it also could be caused be something stuck in a pipe farther down the line requiring prep to protect your home, bringing in heavier drain cleaning equipment and offering the home owner a long term solution, like a camera inspection to make sure the pipes are in sound condition. We do not promise to be the low price solution. What we promise is to deliver value by scheduling timely visits, sending well trained technicians that have been back ground checked by Ask The Seal (a verified 3rd party) and offering solutions that solve your problem, not just cover up the symptom. If the issue was price only as it appears to be, a steak at Outback is $25 and a hamburger at Burger King is $6. Both may be good, but the steak comes with better service and more value as does our drain cleaning services. This I promise. Chuck Detari 813-695-7556 is my personal cell phone number.

The kitchen sink leak was just loose and a tightening of the pipe fixed the leak. The bathroom sink needed a replacement of the faucet. We went ahead with the repair with the advice that there was some prior damage to the sink bowl that could impact use later on. I am planning to redo the bathroom in the future so I'm hoping it holds until after that. The poor toilet is just old and will need to be replaced. We decided to skip the replacement of the toilet for now hoping it will last until we redo the bathrooms.
Description of Work: Robert Waite was our tech. He showed up on time and looked like the background check e-mail photo the company sent ahead of time. We had him check a toilet that flushes slowly and checked 2 sink leaks- 1 bath, 1 kitchen.

The installation was good. The man was quite nice and did a good job. When I asked about the handicap bars in my showers, he was going to charge me 300 per bar for 3 bars. He said the bars cost 40 dollars, and the remainder was going to be labor cost. I ended up going with another company who performed the installation of the three bars for only 200 dollars. The work performed was good, but the price was high.

Thank you for your business. Our policy on handy cap bars is that they can support 300 lbs as is code. Without adding wood backing this is not a guarantee. If you try to get all three screws at each end of the bar in a 1.5 inch wide vertical 2 x 4, they will not all be in the center of that 1.5 inches of wood, so they will not be secure. We open the wall opposite the shower area, add 2 x 6 lumber horizonatally so the screws are well placed in the center of the wood.This will guarantee the bars are secure and to code. We also have a professonal drywall contractor to repair the drywall. Chuck Detari

We are disappointing that you are not happy with our services, but thank you for letting us know. The two toilet coupons we offer through Angie's List are exactly as advertised. The Gerber Maxwell and the Gerber Avalanche are great toilets and we have installed many for satisfied clients. The American Standard Cadet Pro Right Height toilet you requested is an upgrade, and because it costs more we have to pass on those costs.

When the service tech arrived he immediately let me know that they (Chuck's) are not Rainbird water system techs but would look at it. He worked on the system for about 20 minutes basically manually running it through the cycle and stated he could not find anything wrong. Likely it was stuck on a cycle due to power failure. He didn't charge me for the visit. I really enjoyed his honesty and understanding that not everyone is a water softener system guru. If this tech is indicative of the people Chuck has working for him, then you can't go wrong using them.

The company was very responsive. I initially purchased a water heater flush special from Angie's List but after inspection it was apparent that the bottom element was not working and the 18 year heater was way past its lifespan. I received a quote and sate on it and checked on other quotes before calling them back to schedule the install. They accommodated me with a Saturday morning install and Bobby performed the work efficiently and professionally. I liked it that they used soldered copper pipes/sections for the water inlet and outlet rather than flexible piping.

This is second time we have contracted with Chuck and I can honestly say I feel like I have been dealing with a family member. Chuck and his staff do not cut corners, nor do they attempt to mislead people with sales-double talk. The work took about two days to complete and I was always able to ask questions and not be ignored or belittled. The plumbers were conscientious and tidy so I really did not have to clean up messes. The City inspector was very pleased with the work. Chuck came each day of work. All in all, it was such a relief to have decent, polite people do this work. There were other smaller things that the crew not only offered to us on their own and took care with no additional cost to us. This is the way all contractors should be! Call them.
