I emailed on a Thursday night hoping to get it fixed Friday before the weekend. They responded Friday morning that they could come that day and did. (Other plumbers I emailed were not available that quickly.) He was able to determine what the problem was and gave me an estimate to replace the faulty part. While he was there, I asked about a shower problem and he fixed that too. I was very pleased with the responsiveness and availability. My only disappointment is that I thought I was charged a lot of money for two repairs that took a total of an hour and only one trip to the house. I think the repairs may be a fixed price that would be the same if they were done separately, but I didn't ask nor did I negotiate, and maybe I should have. I was very grateful that they came out that first day and could fix the tub, especially since I had company for the holidays, so I just accepted the estimate, not knowing how much work would be involved or how much the parts cost. But the total did seem a little high.
Description of Work: I had a tub faucet that was sending a lot of water out from under it.

It was a Saturday afternoon and I called a number of plumbers. Roby's was the most responsive by far. Dave was out at the house within the hour and was excellent at dealing with the problem. I greatly appreciate the work they did and how quickly they responded.

What an incredibly unprofessional company! Called to have Roby look at easy problems in a rental. They called the renter to schedule and decided that since I have had "several companies" out to look at the property that they didn't want to do work for us. Yes, we had a drain company out to do a camera scope and one to come out to fix the drain issues. That all went fine. The last plumbing company came out to look at this issue, promised a quote and I never heard from them again - so I called Roby. This company made assumptions on incorrect information and decided I was the problem. They topped it off by saying they weren't interested in the work even though I had never talked to them about it (other than to schedule) and they never even visited my property! Steer clear! It's obvious they don't need or want your business. Nobody should be treated that way.

Rob had to visit 3 times before the required parts were available. Fortunately they don't charge for each visit. We decided to order the parts ourselves to save money and it took two attempts to get them all.. Rob was very helpful in showing us which ones to order. He accomplished the removal of the old tap and installation of the new one very efficiently.

Roby's sent out Dave to repair my washing machine. Soon as I opened door, Dave was not personable and a bit rude. I showed him where the laundry room was located. He immediately told me there is trip charge of $135. This was never told to me by Robys. I said ok. After he looked at the washing machine for about 2 minutes. He tells me both blue handles need to be replaced. I asked him how did he determine that, he rudely said don't you see water around them. Then he goes on to tell me that my brand new hose need to be replaced. I asked how did he determine that, he said, I don't know. I immediately kicked Dave out of my home. I ended up calling another company who determined that my washing machine is in perfect condition and connected everything tightly for me and didn't charge me anything. The leaking water issue I had was from my half bathroom toilet.

sump pump replaced immediately. No back up system unless I paid 1700.00 just for the back up system. The main pump for the smallest size pump I thought was pricey. They didn't ask what size pump we wanted. But it did save us from an impending flood.

Poor business practices in place here. Didn't show for appointment.
Description of Work: Made a appointment last week for Monday at 8:30. At 8:10 I get two calls within 3 minutes of each other that go to my voicemail as I was working from home. I promptly return the call at 8:18 to be told they sent the plumbler to another all since I didn't answer. They were supposed to be here for the appointment not call so they can cancel. There was no mention of them calling 15 min before they are supposed to be there when I set the appointment. So because some people fail to keep appointments they treat all potential customers as not responsible. Not a good practice if you ask me. Not respectful of my time. Btw. The voicemail just asked that I call them, there was no mention of they were canceling my appointment. It would have possibly been different if I had made the appointment many weeks ago. I made it last Friday.

We've used them the whole time we've been in the house, which has been about eight years or nine years. I'd give them an A on everything because they're the only ones we call. It took maybe, I'm gonna say three hours maybe to replace that pump and there were two people who came to do the service. They were fine; they were great.
