Great, they cleared the blockage and he suggested a few things to help prevent the problem from returning.
Description of Work: Our sewer backed up and flooded the utility room and the adjoining room. We called Stephens Plumbing and they advised us that the charge would be more costly as the repair would take place on the weekend. We really had no choice and told them that we would like for them to come out and correct the problem. Chris came to the house within the hour and spent several hours rodding out our main sewer line removing a considerable amount of tree roots to clear the blockage.

The plumber arrived at the time he said he would, and even called to say he was on his way. He replaced the sump pump, but also had to redo some of the pipes as things were very old and there is also a battery backup system. He also showed me how to check the backup system, for which I am very grateful. We've used Stephen's Plumbing since we moved into this house. All of the plumbers that have been to our home have been very knowledgeable and professional. I also feel that their rates are reasonable considering the service they provide. I have always felt very comfortable with the work that they have done.

The drains are clear, the toilet is not running and the shower is sealed. I am happy.
Description of Work: Kelly came to my home to clear two slow drains and a toilet which was running periodically. He called when 10 mins away, arrived promptly and was finished with repairs quickly. All good. Kelly suggested I seal the shower and I made an appt for 2/4/10. By that time the toilet was acting up again and he changed the part again, no charge, and sealed the shower floor seams beautifully. I am very happy with this professional and reliable plumber.

We had a troublesome leak in the first floor ceiling that we had two plumbers look at (one came back twice!) and spent $300 on. But it was obvious they did not even have the first clue what to do. Then I joined Angies list, and I called in Stephen's plumbing. When the person came home, I had to get on an urgent phone call from work, but he worked without complaint. He found the issue within 10 minutes (the leak was from behind the shower tiles from the shower head and everyone else thought it had to be from the tub drain). I did not even get a chance to explain what that people who came before had done. He not only fixed the leak, but also showed me that the water pipes supplying the shower head had been poorly soldered and replaced the entire plumbing fixture behind the tile. He cut the tile, put in the new fixtures and fixed the leak all for $240 (less than what I had spent with the two previous guys only to get a chip on the tub floor). I was still on the call from work, and he did all this with a smile and a very professional and helpful demeanor. I could not ask for better service.

Great - They're my plumber I'll use going forward for any plumbing needs.
Description of Work: After Thanksgiving our pipes got clogged from the food we put down the garabe disposal. I called Stephens up on 11.30 and they said they could come out and fix it the same day. I also had a minor problem with my shower head in my master bathroom they were going to take a look at. They came out earlier than expected, were able to clean out the pipe leading from my sink to the sewer. Then they were able to figure out what was wrong with my shower head, but they didn't have the part with them to fix it - I have an older shower head. They were going to get the part, give me a call and come back out and fix it. What's the best part of this is they won't charge me again for visiting me, it will be as if they never left my house when they come back.

They did a terrific job -- prompt, efficient, professional. It's great to have hot water upstairs at a moment's notice. For as huge a job as this was, we thought that it was reasonably priced and was completed with a minimum of disruption to the household. We recommend them to all our friends.
Description of Work: We've used Stephens for years for basic plumbing, bathroom remodeling, water heaters, etc. This year, we remodeled our home and had Stephens re-pipe the entire house in copper and install a hot water pump to keep hot water flowing in our pipes.

Steve, knew boilers. That was good. He found a small problem and fixed it. That was good. He didn't have boot covers or take his boots off. He brought rain and leaves all over my clean floors. That was not so good. I should have asked him to take them off, but I didn't. He did clean up around the boiler when he was finished. That was good.
Description of Work: Cleaned and checked the boiler. Replaced leaking autovent, drain valve, and gaskets and bolts at pump flanges. Bled radiators.

They came out right away and did a nice job. I thought they were a little bit pricey, but the quality of the work was very good. His work was fine but the project didn't go very well because he discovered carpenter ants. It turned out to be something that he couldn't complete at the time and he is coming back this week to complete the project.

We were doing a minor plumbing repair ourselves when we sprung a leak at the water meter. Thinking that this problem was way over our heads, we called Stephens Plumbing. They were willing to get someone out to the house right away as we had to turn off all the water to our house. The receptionist then said that she would have the plumber call us to get more details. She also warned us that we would be paying overtime as I called at 4:30 on Friday night. We felt we had no choice, so we told her to go ahead. When the plumber called, he asked a couple of questions and then told us to try tightening a couple of nuts. That was all it took, and we avoided a costly overtime service call. We plan to use Stephens Plumbing next time we have a plumbing issue, as we felt that they were honest and helpful, even before we were customers.
Description of Work: They fixed the problem over the phone!

He came and showed my wife how to clean out the drain herself to avoid future visits. They also saved us some money by inspecting the 2nd drain and determining it didn't need to be cleaned out. We would have been absolutely clueless about it--he could have done it and charged us for it and we'd be none the wiser...but he didn't and so A's all around. Will definitely call for future plumbing requests

I called around 9:30 AM and they were able to put me on the schedule that day. Chris showed around 12:30 and had it fixed w/i an hour. He had to wait for someone to bring parts or he said he would have been done in 15 min. - which is all the labor he charged me. Professional, focused and affordable. Great experience.

Stephens came out to try and remove the plastic toilet paper tension rod that my daughter had flushed down the toilet. They worked quickly and were very professional. They let me know right away when they thought we wouldn't be able to retrieve it, so that we didn't end up having to pay for extra hours of service. They brought in a new toilet and installed it within half an hour of deciding we would need a new one. It looks and works great. Everyone was very professional and friendly.

As always I am pleased with the service this plumber provides and that they DON'T try and take you to the bank. I have had several plumbers over the years who clearly were just here to make an hourly labor fee. Not the case with Stephen's. They are trustworthy, very knowledgeable and helpful, and get the job done right the first time.
Description of Work: My kitchen sink was backing up into my dishwasher. The sink needed rodding and Rich was very efficient. We have used Stephen's plumbing a few times now and Rich has come out and always gets right to the point and gets the job done quickly and thoroghly.

Quick in, quick out, same day service. Had leak dripping from upper bathroom to lower bathroom shower stall. I cut away ceiling in lower shower and saw what appeared to be multiple areas of possible leaks. Plumber saw, found and fixed within 1/2 hour. Work done to completion, no leaks remained.
Description of Work: These folks are the best. I was at work and they called me 30 minutes prior to visiting to allow me time to meet them at home. The plumbing problem was diagnosed and fixed promptly and alllowed me to return to work the same day. When bill was presented, I had forgot to give him the discount card downloaded from Angie's list. He said "No problem, that is what it is there for!" and immediately deducted it from his bill. Couldn't be happier.

Tony was on time and called before coming. He removed the paneling and made several suggestions about movement of the faucet to a more convenient position. The paneling was very difficult to remove but Tony did a great job. We have used Stephen's Plumbing in the past and will continue to use them for our plumbing needs.

It was a great experience!

He was able to look at a couple of small unscheduled items as well while he was here. Very efficient and pleasant to work with - I will definitelly call Stephens again!

Very well. A little expensive, but I'm a believer that you get what you pay for. Very responsive, very helpful, did the job in the time I would expect, no wasting time. Got in, diagnosed issue, fixed it, done. A cheaper plumber would of had a larger market up on the products and wasted time.
