I had purchased a GE water softener and needed a plumber to install it. Starks called me back the same day and set up a date for installation. They are honest and prices are very reasonable. I will gladly use them in the future again.

He was very nice and showed up on time; in fact, he came at around 7 in the morning to make it convenient for me. He looked at the sump pump, drainage and everything pretty thoroughly and said that everything looked great. He did not want to sell me anything and did not charge me for the visit. He was probably here a good 15 to 20 minutes. Everything was good. I would rate them highly.
Description of Work: I used Starks Plumbing Service Inc. to come out and look at my sump pump to see if everything was set up correctly.

He did a very good job. He had a good personality. He was very prompt and professional. We had used him before for a minor repair in the faucet and he did that job also very promptly. I highly recommend him.

They called back the same day I called them and were at my house the next day. They performed the service quickly and the price was very good. They had a bit of a hard time getting my water heater turned back on, but didn't charge me a penny for their time with that! I have always worked with a larger plumbing company but had a bad experience with them (dirt all over my floors). Starks was the exact opposite!
Description of Work: We are redoing our kitchen and needed some plumbing work done on the sink and a new line on the oven.

I called them because my drain had been stopped up. To being with, I had called another plumbing and he told me it would be about $600 to get everything fixed and he hadn't even done any tests or anything. I told him he couldn't afford that so he kept dropping the price, which I thought was a little bit strange. Starks, however, did a simple test to figure out the correct problem. He was awesome! He was so professional and easy to work with. You could tell they don't try to take advantage of people and I've already recommended him to others. I had a completely seperate issue with a gas leak, and the company charged me $800. When I asked Starks what they would have charged me, he told me $300 or less.
Description of Work: He re-worked the drain lines in my kitchen sink, installed a new basket strainer, and put on a new air admittance vent & fittings.

They are excellent. They don't rip you off and don't perform work that doesn't need to be done. They are always on time and are extremely clean. We've been using them since 1993 and We have recommened them to numerous people who now swear by them. I always know that when they come to perform work it is going to be done right.

After fixing both problems, he did not charge us anything....he just wished us "Merry Christmas".
Description of Work: Our upstairs toilet would not flush. We tried plunging and filling tank with hot water; but nothing worked. Mr. Stark came in with his professional plunger and got the toilet flushing again. He also checked out our "unlevel" toilet in the guest bathroom.

Called to get an estimate of work needed. I called on a Thursday. He let me know he couldn't get there till Monday morning, but since it wasn't an emergency it was okay. Bob came out early in the snow, checked out and knew right away what to do. He fixed it within an hour. Very personable, knowledgeable, and courteous. I like how Bob wore shoe covers to keep the snow off our carpet. I would have liked to have known the cost of the simplest repair before the work was performed. (Which is was.) He did give me an idea of the cost of what might need to be done which was a major repair. I'm glad it was a simple fix.
Description of Work: Had a shower faucet leaking with a stuck cartridge (inner part of on/off valve) replaced/repaired.

We were beginning to experience some hot water shortage problems and decided to purchase a new hot water heater. I called several 'brand name companies' and they all quoted about $1,000 to install a new unit. We decided to buy one ourselves and have it installed by a good plumber. We bought a new 50 gallon electric heater, from Menards, for $228.00. We checked Angies List for a local plumber and chose Starks. We called and scheduled a time for the installation and received a quote of $225.00. The plumber showed up on our agreed time and got right to work. He had to move a couple of pipes and put on a couple of extra fittings but, otherwise, the installation went as planned. In less than 2 hours the heater was installed and, even though some extra labor and material was required, we were charged our original quote. Overall, it was a good experience and the project saved us nearly 50% over prices offered by the 'big boys'. Excellent Job! I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Starks Plumbing Service installed a new water heater we had purchased from Menards. The installation went very smoothly and price was exactly what was agreed to even though some extra work was required. The representative was clean and well mannered. He also cleaned up his work area before he left. Overall experience was excellent.

I called Steve on a Wed to ask if he could run water lines to a large water filter I had mounted in my basement for my geothermal furnace. I described what I needed, and Steve said he could do it the following Monday. Wed. evening, he called and asked to stop by to look at the job so he could plan and make sure to bring the right materials. He looked at the job and returned the next Monday to install the filter. Steve took great pains to do quality work and make sure the piping was secure to the concrete walls and made the installation "commercial" in grade and appearance. He installed shut off valves on both sides of the filter, and used several adapters to fit varying sizes of plastic and copper tubing. I had intended to to this work myself, but after seeing the completed project, I was glad that I had it professionally done. I was impressed with his polite and professional manner and I will call him for my next plumbing job.

All went well during the three-and-one-half hours it took Steve to finish the work. And he did an outstanding job as well as offering excellent advice throughout. I now feel much better knowing there's one more layer of protection against a flooded basement, the unhappy consequence in the event (unlikely, but still possible) of an extended power failure during the next once-in-a-hundred-year storm. Thanks Steve.
Description of Work: I asked Steve Starks to re-plumb the PVC piping for the two AC-powered sump pumps in our basement and install new PVC piping for a battery-powered backup pump I bought beforehand. He did all this as well as giving both sump pits a good cleaning and adding a convenient access fitting to the sump discharge pipe coming out of the side of the house.

I needed parts on the inside of my toilet tanks replaced (2 toilets) both had previously been worked on by other "professionals". However, after they were done, I was left with leaky toilets which never stopped running! Bob fixed all of that!
Description of Work: Bob was very good about returning my call and diagnosing the problem via phone. He also juggled his schedule to accommodate my availability by coming after his work day had ended.

Steve was great. After he installed the new pumps and battery I didn't even recognize my drain pit. It was so clean I could have eaten out of it (it was pretty dirty before). Steven even went above and beyond by fixing some minor things with my sewer drain pit and setting my old pump aside to use in case of future emergency. Great work!
