He arrived exactly at the appointed time. He has a very out going personality. His work was done in a very professional manner and was completed within his estimated time given over the phone. He cleaned up after himself and left the bathroom in the same condition as he found it. I was very happy with both his work and the fees he charged to complete his work. I am planning on using his services again to complete a couple of other upcoming plumbing projects. I have no reservation recommending his services to you.
Description of Work: Keith installed two bathroom faucets and advised us on an upcoming plumbing project.

It went very well. He was quick, prompt and solved the problem. I would definitely use their services again.
Description of Work: Our shower was not draining. He routed the drain and it works perfectly now. He also suggested that we make the small investment in a plastic drain filter to catch hair before it went down the drain. He basically explained that because we have a slab foundation that if he was not able to snake the drain that we would have no choice but to remove the tub and bring in a power auger. This would no doubt be expensive. We took his advice and I am amazed how much hair we lose each day. I can see why our drain was clogging, and I am grateful for his advice.

He was recommended to me by a friend of mine. He is a wonderfully sweet and gentle person. He is exceedingly methodical, very picky, and very exacting. I have been using him for years. As long as he is there I would never use anybody else.

plumbing, water heater repair
 + 0 more
Jim was in and out within a couple of hours. The old water heater had to be brought upstairs thru 3 doorways and then out the front door. I have light beige carpet in my basement and stairs. He said he would try not to leak any rusty water, but it was a strong probability. Not a single drop of icky water was spilled. I don't know how 1 guy did that by himself. He took away all the garbage and old heater-- not even to leave it at my curb. He made sure I knew how to set the new heater for our usage and safety. The manual was attached to the unit so I always know where it is. All the pricing and labor details were discussed with me prior on the phone prior to Jim coming out. He answered all my questions so that I understood.
Description of Work: Had a new hot water heater installed in my basement. I was advised on which water heater was best for my family- size, recovery rate, etc. R& S was prompt and courteous. There was no mess even tho I was told there probably would be with bringing the old heater up the stairs and out the door (and this was done by one guy). Jim was vey professional. I have been using R&S for a few years and would always call them for my plumbing needs. They have done other work for me in the past-- toilet replacement, outside water faucets, shut off valves. They always come out very soon after I call and are always able to work within my schedule. Jim also will give me advise on other problems or potential problems honestly. Their prices are good on service and parts. Very friendly and I would reccommend them to my friends and neighbors. I have never had them come back to fix their original work.

Everything was done professionally, competently and with good cheer. I like the fact that R & S charges by the hour, not the job, which is why it is a good idea to have several things done on a visit. Even if this is not possible, I wouldn't call any other company (very expensive experience with Bishop) and highly recommend R & S.

I have had a lot of jobs done from them. They are the only plumbers I would use. They are actually two brothers. They are very honest and they work fast. They don't take any breaks and they get the job done. I was impressed to see him with a write up. They are an excellent company. They come out and does the job fast. They are reasonable with their price. They don't mind you watching them. There are some plumbers out there that will not follow the order which you need but when he comes out he does the work very well. He has all the parts brought and he does not have to run out for anything. I never have to worry about any problems and I have never had to call him back. Everything like the pipes and so forth has never leaked. I will give them the highest marks.
Description of Work: I used R & S Plumbing Inc. probably about a year ago. They did a replacement of the sump pump battery.

gas grill repair, plumbing
 + 0 more
Jim promptly returned my call and was at my house at 8:00 the next morning. Previous owner left a rusted out grill on a post on our patio. I didn't want to touch it and wanted new nat gas connections for my Weber grill (it's free standing - no post - and uses a flexible nat gas hose with quick release). Jim quickly shut off the gas, cut the line near the house, installed the new connections and turned the gas back on. Since their service call fee of $149 includes 1 hour of service ($60 per half-hour after that), I also had him take a look at a plugged sillcock (garden faucet). The stopper had detached and was stuck deep in the pipe. It didn't dislodge easily and we agreed it would be smarter to just replace the sillcock with a higher quality model, rather than spend any more time/$$ to fix the plugged one. He didn't have any more sillcocks with him (and I didn't mention it on the phone initially), so he would have to come back later in the day. Before he left, he did give me a few pointers so I could keep trying to dislodge the stopper in the meantime (I like doing this stuff myself), but if I couldn't fix it he would gladly come back later in the day. It took me about a half-hour of tinkering, but I finally fixed it myself. This is my type of contractor - he does the stuff where expertise is needed, but doesn't hesitate to show me the things I can tackle myself.
Description of Work: - Disconnected a natural gas grill post on my patio; cut gas line and installed valve and quick release connector (my new natural gas grill has a flexible hose connection) - Examined/taught me how to fix sillcock that was plugged

After trying to replace a broken shower faucet ourselves, and after a reputable handyman said it was too big of a job for him, we called R&S Plumbing based on Angie's List recommendations and the handyman's recommendation. Keith quoted us the labor charge on the phone: $149 for the first hour. This was not an emergency, so we found a time that worked for him and us. When he arrived, he went to work, fixed the problem, suggested a fix for the toilet in the same room and took care of it within the same hour. Everything works perfectly. He was thoroughly professional, pleasant, and reasonable in every way. This is our new plumber, and we're happy to recommend R & S Plumbing to others.
Description of Work: Replaced shower cartridge and handle on tub faucet. Keith also noticed that the toilet was loose and tightened bolts, tank bolts, and replaced ballcock and flap. He was here just slightly less than an hour.

Once again Keith and R&S Plumbing came to my rescue. I was running on battery back-up only when I called Keith at 9:00pm Sunday night. He told me he could be out by 7;30 the next morning, but he was really concerned abount how long my battery would last. So was I! He jumped into his truck and was at my house within 45 minutes, replaced the switch and I was back pumping. This was not the first time that Keith helped me out and I continue to find him personable, friendly, knowledgeable and the quality of his work is outstanding. When it comes to plumbing he's my first and only call. Keith quoted me an estimate over the phone which was quite reasonable for an emergency, weekend night service call. I strongly recommend R&S Plumbing.

We noticed that our ejector pump for the basement bath would not stop running so we unplugged it and called R&S. This was on a Saturday afternoon. We left a message for them to call us to make an appointment as soon as possible during normal business hours (i.e. we didn't need them to make an emergency call). Jim Durso called me back on Sunday and explained that they were booked full for Monday with sewer backup emergencies (no suprise due to all the melting snow) and he put us on for the first appointment on Tuesday. Keith called me on Tuesday with plenty of notice to let me know he was running a bit late (only 10-15 minutes - but a nice touch since most contractors would not be so respectful of your time) and arrived within that window. He immediately diagnosed the problem and recommended that since our pump was so old, we replace it with a new one. It was not what we were hoping to hear because of the cost but he explained the rationale and it made sense. He did the work thoroughly and cleaned up completely. We use them for all our plumbing needs and they have always been super responsive and done excellent work. They are not the cheapest plumbers you will find but they are the most responsive and the most reliable and I would not consider using anyone else. I gave them an A, even on pricing because I have not found any good plumbers to be cheap and you get what you pay for.

They were prompt. When they fixed the faucet, they didn't leave enough room for the automatic sprinkler system. They came back to see what the problem was. They gave me an extension free of charge and didn't charge for the second visit. They made good with the job. They were really outgoing, competent, and professional.

Response from R & S Plumbing Inc
This customer has given us a "C" price, but did not include the other work that was done during this service call. We replaced hosebib & added an internal shut off valve. We supplied & installed LT faucet, patched LT with hydraulic cement as a temp fix. Customer was informed that there was no guarantee on the patch and that it may or may not work. Estimate was given: *Replacement of double bowl cement LT to single bowl fiberglass reusing faucet. Our plumber was there for 2 hours. Also, not sure why this put under Heating & A/C, it was all plumbing work.

I called a girlfriend and got a handyman to help me with my problem. I finally tried the number for R & S again and got through to the company. I left a message on Saturday or Sunday. Jim called back when I was not there and left a message. He told me to call immediately if it was an emergency or call them early Monday morning. I had called him on Monday morning and he gave me some really good advice about the problem I was having. I asked him to send me business cards and he did send them to me with Holiday wishes. I appreciated that he provided excellent customer service to me even though I wasn't going to be paying for his service.
Description of Work: I must have been dialing the wrong number or there were some issues with the phone company because for several days, I would call R & S and would somehow be re-directed to an unknown person's voice mail box.
