Excellent. The work was done very quickly, in less than 45 mins for several items. One faucet was very slow, and every other plumber told us we'd have to tear down walls and install new pipes. Garrity took 5 mins and it works like a charm. I will definitely use this plumber again.
Description of Work: Cleared clogged drains, increased flow of faucet, rodded out sewer line, received advice on a leaking shower. .

Very well. Good communication all the way along. Did what they had to do with a minimum of disruption to fixtures and people. Fixed the problem and cleaned up. Will call them whenever anything else comes up.
Description of Work: Our sewer had backed up. The previous owner had built a deck over the outside sewer access, and walled in the access to the stack to the toilet. Garrity found the problem, figured out how to get it fixed, and got it done.

On Friday evening my dishwasher started leaking water onto the kitchen floor even though I wasn't using it. I discovered my kitchen sink water was backing up into the dishwasher which then eventually overflowed onto the floor. As I did not need to use the sink that much over the weekend and I did not want to pay any premium or overtime charges for the repair, I decided I could wait for Monday to get service. I called Garrity Plumbing and left a message about my problem on their machine, knowing that they do not work on the weekends. I received a phone call on Sunday evening and we arranged to them to come on Monday morning at 7:30 a.m. They arrived promptly, diagnosed the problem, and cleared the clog that was fairly far removed from the kitchen sink area. The sink drains better than ever. While they were at my house, I asked about a troublesome toilet in one of my bathrooms. They advised not to spend money on it as it really was so old I would be throwing good money after bad. I thought that would be the case and asked about their availability for installing a new toilet. This was two days before Christmas Eve when I would be entertaining a houseful of family. If possible, I wanted a second trouble-free, working toilet for my guests. We arranged for them to come the next morning at 7:30 a.m. when they quickly installed a new toilet that I had purchased the afternoon of their previous visit. The installation was problem-free and they left the bathroom just as they found it. Their reliability for early-morning appointments and service is so appreciated! Everything is working just fine. I will certainly use Garrity for any future plumbing needs. I am a very satisfied customer.
Description of Work: They cleared a clogged drain in my kitchen sink using what appeared to be a heavy-duty snake. The water from the sink was draining into my dishwasher. They also removed an old toilet and then installed a new one that I had purchased.

I called them at 9:00am and left a message. They returned the call within the hour and were here by 10:30 am. after discovering they could not fix the foundation leak they said the visit was FREE. As in NO CHARGE for their time. Are these guys great, or what!!!
Description of Work: we called because there was a leak (we thought) in the laundry room. They came and checked the sink, washer, and dryer for leaks. They determined the leak came from the foundation of our home and they could not do anything.

Garrity is one of those people that I can count on to do the work that needs to be done. He doesn't try to add stuff that we don't need. We have always been happy with him. We had to have him come back for some reason and he was really happy about that. He seems to be a good and honest guy. We like him and love him a lot. The price that he charges is always fair and he doesn't charge us for something that we don't need. I would definitely use his services in the future too.
Description of Work: We use the services of Garrity Plumbing for our plumbing needs. He came out within the last 6 months to install a new kitchen faucet, new gas stove, to install a toilet and also to fix the main valve.

I used these guys before and they are always a pleasure to do business with. This time the work was relatively simple (although very necessary) - it was just to clean out my main sewer line. They made short order of the job and cleaned the line all the way out the city sewer line.

A urinal was leaking. Garrity adjusted fittings and connections. It still leaked. Their diagnosis - must be a hairline crack; the urinal needs replacing. After three tries, they finally brought the correct urinal to replace the one with the hairline crack. They replaced it. The next morning the new urinal was leaking. Garrity returned and stopped the leak. They, also, installed a flexible tube for a refrigerator ice maker. They next morning it was leaking. Garrity returned and stopped the leak.

I called Garrity knowing that I would need a new hot water heater for my multi-unit building. They were out on-time as promised...first thing in the morning. Within 2 hours, my building was on its way to having hot water yet again. The prompt, professional service and skilled install will certainly have me calling these guys again. They were proud to use only AO Smith, American made water heaters and while not usually a patriotic purchaser, per se, I was pleased with their commitment to a quality brand.
Description of Work: Replaced 75 gallon hot water heater.

We found them on Angie's List. They did a pretty good job and I was happy with them. It is a father and son operation and they were pretty good about coming out. Their prices were reasonable.
Description of Work: We hired them a couple of times. I had them replace a lot of the "guts" of the plumbing in the toilet and sink and the installed a vanity which required custom piping.

Description of Work: The handle on one of our toilets had broken inside. Another of our toilets was running off and on throughout the day and night. Tom replaced the handle and made adjustments to the other toilet to keep it from running.

Everything went well from start to finish. Two plumbers came and worked diligently for around 45 minutes. The right washer had to be replaced, which required some hard work in a small area. They did the job perfectly with no interruptions.
