They did a great job. They are great at taking care of me and they are usually able to get me in the next day. They are a local company and do not charge me a travel fee and they do a great, quality job and clean up and are efficient and friendly.
Description of Work: They came out and replaced my kitchen faucet for me.

Garrity is easy to communicate with (they respond promptly to voice mails or have live contact person taking information). They were able to come out early (8 am) to accommodate my schedule. They called a few minutes before arriving, and arrived a few minutes before our scheduled appointment time. They corrected the problems and left their work space very neat. Professional and pleasant. Perhaps the price seemed high (doesn't it always?), but I have nothing to compare it with.
Description of Work: Garrity cleaned out the backed-up kitchen drains (double sink) and tightened up the plumbing under the bathroom sink to fix a leak. I'd also asked Garrity to assess plumbing work performed by another plumber. Garrity suggested certain improvements, but noted that the current set-up would function for a while.

THE PLUMBERS WERE, AS ALWAYS, VERY NICE AND HONEST. This is the third time they have done work for us. They are always fast and professional. And, they do not charge a lot.
Description of Work: There was gunk buildup in kitchen sink pipes. The city had been turning the neighborhood water off and back on when they were fixing a water problem in the area - therefore the gunk buildup. The guys fixed the problem in just a few minutes, cleaned up the area, and then said there was NO CHARGE.

My call was promptly returned the same morning. Tom Garrity came out the same day and tried to recreate the problem to see where the leak was coming from. He couldn't find anything wrong and theorized that it could have been from a temporary lint clog of some sort. Incredibly, he didn't charge me!!! He was very friendly, professional and reassuring. He left me his card and told me to call him if the problem resurfaced. It hasn't, thankfully, but I will most certainly call them again!
Description of Work: Our ceiling was leaking, presumably from the washing machine upstairs. We needed someone to come out and assess where the leak was coming from and perform repairs.

My phone call was returned promptly and courteously, and a convenient appointment was quickly set up. The 2 workers showed up when they were scheduled to, told me they had to go out for a part, then returned and installed it. They knew just where to shut off my hot water & turned it back on without me having to remind them. They also cleaned up after themselves. A very pleasant experience, considering. I have a plumber! They're a keeper as far as I'm concerned.

The plumber called and said he was running ahead of schedule and could he come early which worked out great; he and his assistant preformed the work quickly and professionally in record time. Had him look at another project and give me suggestions/estimate which were all very reasonable.
Description of Work: Replaced a hose spigot that broke off due to falling ice together with a section of pipe that served the spigot.

These guys were great! They came out the same day we got in touch, and Larry and his guy were able to hook-up my kitchen sink without any problems. The handyman I had out couldn't figure out how to do this without breaking into the walls, etc., because my new sink was lower than my prior one. Also, Garrity was able to fix some minor leaks and pressure issues in my bathroom by just adjusting some valves and tightening some screws. Again, since the handyman wanted to break into the walls to do this; they really saved me a ton of money!

Great. Each time, Mike and/or his son came the same day, even after hours. They did the job, and cleaned up afterwards. We finally bought a new toilet through them. They even gave mom a senior citizen discount.

He was very reasonable and I was pleased because I called the night before around 10:30 and left a message. He called me back the next day bright and early and came out that day. I was impressed with them.
Description of Work: I had a clog in my kitchen pipes but all the pipes are connected and empty out to the same pipe. He had to rot it out completely and even had to remove some paneling to get to the pipes in the process.

It took about 2 days and probably a 3rd for some final finishings. the pressure was actually so great it caused some leaking in some of the bathrooms. Which they came back immediately when I call them a few weeks later to fix the problem. They are a great family owned company that I'd work with again in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced 3 bathroom plumbing in a 3-flat with new copper fittings. Replaced a few old fixtures & raised the once very low pressure water.

Garrity Plumbing Inc is run by Tom Garrity and he is perfectly nice and means well. We asked about instant hot water and he wasn't very receptive to that idea. In that regard we would like a more progressive and environmentally friendly water heater. Garrity Plumbing is a very personable and nice group of people.
Description of Work: They replaced two water heaters for our 4750 square foot home.

I appreciated his honesty because he said we really needed a new sink and fixing would not be cost effective. They had to come twice, next time I will ask him to break down the bill, ie; parts, labor and explain what he did.
Description of Work: Investigating a couple different leaks and I would the toilets running by themselves. He cleaned a filter.

At the risk of sounding condescending, Garrity Plumbing epitomizes one flaw of Angies List - favorable reports from folks who may not be qualified to comment on work quality. Do to the nature of my project, I was able to compare good plumbing performed by a heating contractor with Garrity's substandard work. The difference was marked. Garrity's soldering was sloppy. After workers left one night, I found water spraying from two bad joints. I couldn't reach anyone as Tom Garrity refuses to provide his cell number (only his wife has it). As usual, I was forced to leave a message on an answering machine. There were numerous other quality issues including destruction of my floor where he cut the drain tile. When the bill arrived, it was 58% above the company's quote. Ironically, the amount mirrored that of the heating contractor I rejected as being too high. Tom Garrity is an affable guy, but based upon my experience, has no business doing anything but basic repair work.
Description of Work: Garrity performed plumbing work for a basement remodeling project which included moving a water meter, re-routing existing water lines (including new one-inch copper), laying underground cast iron drain pipe, installing ejector and sumps pits and roughing in a three-quarters bath.
