We called Rex May at approximately 9 am because of a severe leak in our drain system. The lady said they expected a truck in from a job by noon. The plumber arrived about 12:30, quickly located the problem & went right to work removing the leaking pipes. They finished what turned out to be a difficult plumbing problem in about 1 1/2 hours. They were very professional and obviously quite experienced. We were well pleased with their responsiveness & with their work.
Description of Work: Located a leak in an old, badly corroded cast iron drain pipe within the wall of the main bathroom. Replaced the cast iron pipe with PVC.

When we moved there were about 3 things to change out in the bathrooms and I also sent them to my daughter's house. We already had all the hardware. The workers accidentally broke the sink at my daughters house, and did not say that they would replace it when they left. I called and the receptionist had to talk to owners, who came out to see the sink. He asked if the workers had explained that if they take the faucet out it may break. They had not explained that to her, so they replaced the entire sink at no charge, and comped the entire project. They are responsible for what they do and take care of their mistakes. They were very punctual about resolving issues.
Description of Work: Put in drains and faucets in three sinks at my house, and I also hired them to fix a leaky faucet and drain at my daughter's house.

He came out when the problem came back due to having to address two different pipes. He did a great job and charged us much less than another plumber who had come out months earlier and only fixed half of the problem. Rex is very competent and really knows what he is doing.
Description of Work: A sink, toilet, and bathtub were all backing up. Rex came out to figure out the issue.

Rex May's son was here the very next morning after my call. The work was done in less than 1 hour. He & his helper were very professional & the clean up was excellent. When I inquired about how much I owed them, they said that a bill would be send from the office. WOW!
Description of Work: Bathroom sink drain was rotted out inside the wall. Cut out the corroded pipe & replaced with a 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" fernco, 1 1/2" pvc 1 1/2" pvc mole adapter.

My home sump pump went out (it was 18 years old) in heavy rains. I called Rex May Plumbing and explained my problem. I was told I would be scheduled for a house call the same day. I was called when the repairman left for my home where I met him. The pump well was cleaned and the new sump pump installed within an hour. The mechanical room was left clean and the pump in working great.
Description of Work: A new sump pump was installed.

Our lift pump in the basement got hung up and water was backing up into our basement bathroom. Rex May quickly returned my telephone message and had a crew out right a way. The crew was friendly, well prepared to clean up their mess, and knowledgeable. They also went above and beyond to put padding around the pipes so that they wouldn't rattle against the ductwork so much when the pump turned on. The only thing I wish I knew before they left was the cost of the visit- which turned out to be the minimum service call charge.
Description of Work: Clean buildup out of lift pump and free float arm. Padded piping to reduce "clank" when pump operates.

Rex came out to see the job. He provided a quote within a week. His price was about half of the other quote I received. He planned on making 2 trips, but ended up making 3 because the marble contractor didn't cut the right holes. He was very accommodating working around other contractors, he was polite and courteous. He left the work environment very clean. I would definitely hire Rey May again.
Description of Work: Changed 2 shower valves, faucets and heads, added a hand held shower in a marble shower, changed a kitchen sink faucet and replaced 2 tub drains. I provided all the parts.

My main concern was the horrible sewer odor in the guest bathroom. It came and went for 6 weeks. I could get it to go away if I poured bleach and water in all the drains. It would be OK for a few days and come back again. I called a plumber (not Rex May) who came out. Of course, it was not smelling when he came. He thought it was probably the bath tub drain with a dry trap, but would have to pull the tub out to check it. (I am on a slab). I decided I needed a second opinion. So I called Angie's List and spoke with Sean?; A neighborhood representative. He did a Keyword search for me on "odor" and found 2 plumbers, one being Rex May. I called them and they came out the next day. I was convinced the odor was from the bathtub drain, so I was elated when he said all he had to do was cut a hole in the wall. The drain was dry. He said he thought it was probably the seal on the toilet. He fixed that and the other problems I listed. I was amazed at the low price!
Description of Work: 1. Eliminated source of sewer odor in guest bath. 2. Fixed running toilet in master bath. 3. Replaced two sink faucets in master bath (I had purchased the faucets from Lowe's). 4. Fixed tub faucet in master bath (wouldn't shut completely off).

I have a friend who has used Rex May many times over the years and always speaks highly of this company.
Description of Work: We had a cold water faucet in a bathtub that stopped working. Another contractor had tried to fix it, but couldn't. There is no access to the plumbing, so if it couldn't be fixed easily at the faucet handle, we were looking at going through drywall in another room or removing irreplaceable bathroom wall tiles to access the pipes. Rick, from Rex May, came the day after I called and fixed it within 20 minutes. He then asked if there was anything else he could do. I had him fix a running toilet, also.

He used a "sewer gas" detector to test the odor which proved not to be from the drain or plumbing. He got down on his hands and knees and sniffed out the problem which was a very defunct rat that had evidently gotten some poison set out by previous owners. At that point, I fled the scene, but my husband reports that it was nasty.
Description of Work: Rex May came yesterday afternoon to find the source of horrible odor in our basement that we thought originated from a drain.

When the city hooked up the water, we chose to leave out outside water lines on the well. I tried to turn on the water the other day, and nothing came out. Rex May came out and inspected the well and the pump, and discovered that the pump was not functioning. The cost was too high to repair the pump, so he hooked the outside lines to the city water line. Rex May has done quite a bit of work for us over the years, and he is always efficient, pleasant and reasonably priced.

Mr. May responded quickly and did the work in about an hour and was a pleasure to deal with. I thought the price was very reasonable. I felt like he was sincere and honest.
Description of Work: We have water heated floors and had a hose split and the first repair person's work did not hold. Mr. May explained why the first repair didn't work and he repaired them properly. It has worked perfectly since then.

The plumber was very courteous and pleasing to work with. I can't remember his name, but it is a family-owned business, so I think it was a son or brother of Rex May.

Rex was prompt, friendly and professional. After waiting for the weather to clear (so the crawl space would be dry) the work was scheduled in a timely manner and the company called well in advance at our request to give us time to clear things out of their way before they came. The young men who came to do the work were polite and efficient. Our pantry backs up to the laundry room and the original plan was that the new pipe might have to come through the wall of that room. They located the new drain pipe out of the way and worked to find a way to get it to the crawl space without having it show up in the pantry. We're very pleased with their work.
Description of Work: Installed new drain for items in our laundry room (washer, sink, water conditioner) and ran it through floor and a concrete wall to sewer line in crawlspace.
