My sewer line broke and I called Rex May Plumbing, which I have used in the past several times for plumbing issues. Rex and his son (3rd generation plumber) came out quickly and professionally resolved the problem. I was pleased at how reasonable there bill was. If you have any plumbing needs call Rex May Plumbing, you will not be disappointed. Tom Brink

He works with his son. They are always punctual and very cordial and very pleasant to work with and always does good work.
Description of Work: I use him every time I need plumbing. I've used him several times. The biggest job was for a new water softener. He fixed toilet. Installed some new toilets. He fixed clogged drain. One time we had a leak in the basement and he fixed the leak. He did the dishwasher but I think it was because of the sink drain line.

I left a message on their answering machine early in the morning and they returned may call promptly, before their opening time. They quickly slotted me into the scheduled, helped me make a decision between staying with gas and switching to electric (I switched back to electric due to unit cost), quickly and professionally installed the new system, and left the area neat and clean.

I love the professionalism of Rex. His work is "par excellent." Cleaned up very good after he completed the job. Mr. Rex was kind and understood the need we had. If his schedule was not so full, we would definitely hire again. Very, very nice gentleman. Thank you, Mr. Rex, for your good work.
Description of Work: Mr. Rex replaced 2 donuts on the bottom of two toilets. Installed new tub/ shower drain & face bowl hardware. In addition, new copper pipes behind the shower wall. Very tedious work, but he was very, very excellent.

We have been putting off hiring a plumber but decided it was time. I looked on Angie's List and saw Rex May was close to our house. I was really impressed with the customer service I received setting up the appointment. My mother-in-law was at the house while I took my kids out. She said service was done quickly and they were very nice. We have a lot of plumbing work that needs to be done and will be calling them again to get it done. Thank you so much!

Rex was prompt, diagnosed the leak immediately and went right to work. In less that an hour work was completed quite satisfactorily. Since coming to Indy 20 years ago Rex May Plumbing have done a number of jobs for me and my impression is always the same--prompt, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and fair. Rex May Plumbing is our go-to plumbing specialist.

We were very pleased with the overall experience with this company. We have a finished lower level basement and didn't want the workman coming up our carpeted walkway which they listened to and made sure to drain the water heater outside. They were professional and cleaned up as they went. They noticed a furnace pipe that needed to be adjusted which they did for us as a courtesy. Everything went smooth and I couldn't be more pleased with the end result.
Description of Work: They came out and replaced a 75 gallon hot water heater.

My renter called me in a panic about a basement leak that was filling up a 5-gallon bucket every hour. On a recommendation, I called Rex May and they had a tech out there first thing the next morning. He found that whoever had installed the bathroom sink in the basement had used the wrong type of valve; it had rusted and sprung a leak. He replaced it with the correct type of valve. While he was there, he looked at the upstairs toilet that occasionally leaks around the base. He replaced the old-style wax ring with an upgraded rubber seal that should last longer and be more dependable. He worked quickly, efficiently, and was gone within an hour. Good price, too, IMHO.

Rex and his partner arrived on time and went right to work. I explained the problem and my wishes as to an appropriate replacement (an upgrade, which Rex agreed with) and the work was completed quickly and efficiently.They were very professional, considerate of my time and reasonable in price. This was not the first time we have called on Rex May Plumbing and all our experiences have been quite satisfactory.

After making the appointment I was contacted by their office to inquire if I wanted the service performed due to a supposed note in their computer records from 2007 indicating I did not want their services in the future. Regardless of the fact that I had this company perform work at my house with the last year and a half, service they did not have record of performing, the office personnel continued to badger me not only about a vague notation from 7 years ago but also threatened to cancel my appointment when I challenged the completeness of their records. The company contact with whom I made the original service appointmnet was extremely rude and despite me personally making the appointment not 15 minutes prior continued to demand to know whether I wanted to keep the appointmnet. When I informed the office personnel of the work completed since 2007 she practically demanded I produce a receipt of such work. While my continued business with this company would normally be seen as a positive within this negative review, based on the treatment I received I will nolonger contact this company to perform any work on my house.
Description of Work: I contacted Rex May Plumbing to snake the main sewer drain.

Let me introduce myself, Mr. [member name removed]. My name is Pam and I am the one you spoke to on the phone yesterday. Sorry if you felt I was being rude by asking the questions I did, it is necessary for me to do so in order to give the guys the correct information about the problems you are experiencing. You scheduled to have your washer drain cleaned out and said you would have the washer moved and ready for the guys to run their cable. Then you mentioned your main drain and roots. We cannot cable your main through your washer drain so, this is why I asked if you have a clean-out outside. And, if roots are present, we cannot guarantee or foresee how long until those roots will reappear. When this occurs, you should probably look into getting your sewer line replaced. You said we were there in 2012 or 2013. I asked about the invoice because a lot of people get us confused with another family member that has a similar Company name and I was going to direct you to them if that is indeed who you meant to call in the first place and they were who cleaned your drain in 2012 or 2013. The last and only time were were at your residence was back in 2007 and you called very upset 4 months later because your drain was stopped up again. At that time, you told us your family no longer needed our services and you would never call call back again. I know how frustrated you must be, replacing a sewer line can be a very costly expense. I hope you are able to get your issues resolved. Have a great day!!! Pam May

Rex came out a few days before the work was completed to give me a quote and explain the process. He was very knowledgeable and even gave me some advice on shower fixtures based on his experience and current construction code. The installation team of 2 guys came out as scheduled and completed the work in a timely manner, all the while professional and clean. I have used Rex May plumbing in the past and will continue to with confidence in the future.
Description of Work: Rex May installed a shower base, moved drain location, retrofitted the plumbing from a bathtub to shower only, and installed proper valves and water shutoff switches.

Rex May Plumbing is my plumber of choice; however, they are not available on weekends which could be problematic if someone had an emergency. Rex mentioned I could put a little salt down the drains to inhibit root growth, a suggestion which I appreciated and will practice.
Description of Work: Our laundry drain was backing up so I called Rex May Plumbing. "Rex" himself came out ran the electric rooter, pulled some roots and other gunk out and we were back in business in just under an hour.

They are fabulous to work with and I wouldn't use anybody else. They are always punctual, professional and it's really good working with them. They are never too expensive. They are easy to work with, they too had to get a part, they went out and got it and came back the same day. They are very respectful, they put their shoe covers on when they get in the house, and called to let me know they are on their way.
