The overall experience was excellent. I made the appointment with Andy, who was very friendly and was able to set an appointment for the following day. Chad arrived at our house on time and was both very professional and friendly. He answered all of our questions and even offered to wait while my husband ran to Lowes to pick up a new garbage disposal (it was part of the leak, but we didn't know at the time that it also needed to be replaced). Both the sink and the garbage disposal work great, and all the leaks are fixed - we've had no problems with any of the work that was done. We will use Andy's for any plumbing work that needs to be done in the future. Chad was great - we felt that he was extremely trustworthy and took a lot of pride in doing the job right. Thank you!
Description of Work: Replaced a kitchen faucet, replaced a garbage disposal and fixed leaks under two separate sinks.

They had a cancellation so were able to fit me in the day I called. I had an afternoon appointment elsewhere. The serviceman arrived promptly and completed the work in time for me to make my other appointment. He was very professional, friendly and informative. He outlined the most probable cause, but went on to explain other possible problems if the repair didn't work. It's been working fine ever since.
Description of Work: The pilot light on my hot water heater would not stay lit. The company replaced the thermocoupler.

I had a clogged kitchen sink drain. I called Andy's Pipe Dream and spoke with Andy. He said they had an opening between 4-6 that day. Chad called around 2:30-3:00, said he had finished the previous job, and could come on over if ok with me, which was great. He worked for a good amount of time trying to clear the clog, without success. After going down into the crawl space, he said he was pretty sure he knew where the problem was and would need to replace a section of old cast iron/galvanized section of pipe with pvc. It was getting later in the day by this time, but Chad stayed and completed the job. His diagnosis of the problem was correct and my sink was draining perfectly when he left. He was very professional, explained to me in detail what he had to do, and answered all of my questions.
Description of Work: Snaked out kitchen sink drain, eventually replacing a section of old galvanized pipe to get to the problem.

I found him on Angie's List. He had to make a trip to the hardware store to get materials for my repair. They use an answering service so when I call, there is a real person on the line in about three rings. She always says she will get hold of Andy right now; literally, within five minutes, Andy calls me back. He sends a guy out that day; at least that has been my experience. They are great.

Chad came out and took a look and gave me an estimate before he started any work. He also make it very clear that I would have to pay for the service, regardless of whether the plan of attack worked or not, though the amount spent would be applied to the next proposed step. He showed me where he thought the problem was and what he thought would need to be done to resolve the problem. He also attempted to try the most direct way to break up the clog before taking the more difficult and messy route. Fortunately, the first way worked. He explained what was clogging the drain and where and advised the clog was cleared and drains were running. He also pointed out there is a 90 day warranty on the services provided. He was aware I contacted his company through Angie's list and did not hesitate to waive the trip charge and apply the 10% discount to the total service bill. The total cost was $141.00. I must say, however, that with the additional 10% and trip charge, the total cost would have been $186.00, which seems bit steep for a clogged drain, so I was grateful for the discount. The best part is I now have a plumber I can trust and will use again!

Response from Andy's Pipe Dream
We appreciate your nice review. However I have just one quick correction to how we normally charge. We do waive or $29 trip fee for our Angie's List customers. That is true. However we only charge a trip fee if we just leave a proposal. If you ever have us do the work we would just charge for the work itself. In your case that would have been $157 for the drain cleaning. With your 10% off your discount was $16. Thanks again for the honest review.

Got a return call after I posted on the sire in less than 30 minutes. They set me up to see Chad who was going to give me an estimate on the work that needed to be done. I told them up front that I was working within a budget and how much my contractor had indicated that I could expect to pay for the plumbing work that needed to be done. Chad arrived and just kept saying how much work there was, how much work there was. He gave me an estimate for the work that was over triple my budget and was in the area of $1300 as I recall. This is after he had to correct his $1100 estimate as he had forgot something. I then asked him if I agreed to have them do the work, how much time would it take?. He said that it could take as much as 1/2 a day. I went with another vendor on Angie's list who came in and did the job in less than 3 hours. This Master Plumber did a great job and the estimate was nearly right on my budget at $480. Quite a difference. Very pleased with the response but very disappointed with the price estimate. Suspect Andy and his team did not need the work?

Response from Andy's Pipe Dream
I remember the initial call for this job and he did let me know of his budget of $480. Not knowing what the scope of the job was we agreed to come out for FREE to take a look and give him an estimate. We did and he is accurate that our quote exceeded what he was willing to pay. It wasn't a case where we did or didn't need the work. We bid each job on its own merit. We never quote a price based on need. I cannot speak to the other company and what they charged. Every company has a different cost structure based on their own expenses. Are we talking apples to apples? I can't say. I stopped worrying about what the other guy charges a long time ago. We are usually in the ballpark and quite often come in less than our direct competitors. I'm sorry we weren't able to help.

The service man came right out and evaluated the situation. He had some concerns about access through the basement if he needed it. But he had the access he needed and all of the work took about 1.5 hours. But while we were in the basement, I noticed our flue pipe had become disconnected and carbon monoxide must have been spilling into our home. He referred us to a guy and he was able to come right out and fix it that afternoon. Although that part was scary. The overall experience with Andy's service man and they guy he referred us to was great.

I read this and thought... Chad not wanting to work? Not possible. So i asked him. It wasn't a motivational issue, he had a concern about the fix he suggested making the problem worse and wanted the homeowner to understand the risk involved with moving forward. All worked out very well, fortunately.

I called in the afternoon about a leak in basement that occurs when the shower is running. I quickly received a return phone call from Andy and he was able to send someone over within 45 minutes. Chad arrived and assessed not only the leak but a total of 5 problem areas in the house. Upon further inspection he found that the basement leak was not a plumbing issue, but a grout issue with two loose tiles on shower wall. The laundry was running while he was down in the basement and he saw how much the drain was overflowing. He gave me a very reasonable estimate and was able to snake the drain that day. He also gave me estimates for two different problems that we will be repairing in the future. His customer service and the work completed was excellent!

Andy's service man arrived ontime and very proffessional in his appearance. He was able to clean out our drian after several tries. The problem turned out to be that the blockage was just past the end of his clean-out snake he first used. The project I'm sure took longer than he first expected but it did not change the price from the estimate.

We had a plumbing leak in our upstairs bathtub on New Years Eve. I called Andy's to set up an appointment for after New Years. He was very pleasant and professional, and we discussed the options to resolve the issue. For personal reasons, we did the repair ourselves before the holidays were over. Andy was excellent in discussing options and costs, and very understanding about my cancelling the appointment.

Chad reviewed work and provided step by step estimate. With estimate approved, he performed great work at a reasonable cost. Had the parts on-hand and was done in under an hour from start to finish. Really appreciated him walking through options, what was going to be done and then completely quality work quickly. Would have you back again in a heartbeat!

We had a sewer gas smell coming from our air vents. We've had several plumbers come out to look at the problem over the years but it's gotten worse and Chad with Andy's Pipe Dream has been working with us to try to solve the problem. In the meantime, he has fixed a faulty auto-vent and a toilet that was flushing oddly. Chad is always very informative & has come out to our home a few times free of charge while trying to figure out the sewer gas issue. We will be using their services in the spring to run a smoke test on the venting system in our home (the final test they can run). Even though they haven't fixed the main problem yet (sewer gas is tricky to pin-point), they are friendly, quick and very knowledgeable. I have an Architectural Engineering background & my husband used to work for his dad's construction company in the summers so we have enough background with plumbing systems to know that this is a quality company worth hiring.
Description of Work: They have replaced an auto-vent that was starting to fail & run diagnostics on a sewer gas smell that is coming out of the vents when the A/C is running. They have also repaired a toilet that was flushing "oddly".

It went well. Chad arrived and assessed where the leak was, and began to troubleshoot to determine the cause. He had to remove some ceiling to see if it was an older pipe with a leak, and once it was determined that wasn't the issue, he proceeded to remove the upsairs toilet. He found that the toilet didn't have a flange attached, and whoever had repaired it before I bought the home had just used a sealant to seal the toilet to the pipe. He got the correct part and proceeded to custom fit the flange based on how the plumbing had been installed to meet the toilet. It took about 3 1/2 hours to complete, and Chad informed me of additional costs throughout the process. I am happy the leak is fixed and a proper flange is installed with the toilet. I would use Andy's Pipe Dream in the future.

Response from Andy's Pipe Dream
Disposers are kind of a catch 22 for us. Like any other business, we purchase our materials from wholesalers and most of the time we pay less than the consumer. This allows us, like any other business, to mark up what we sell to the consumer. That's how we earn a profit. That being said, we use a certain brand of disposers, because they are the highest quality, that sell though the big box stores at the same price we buy them at. Hence our catch 22. If we don't mark them up, we don't make enough money to justify our selling them. If we do mark them up, we look like we are overcharging. This is s problem for all plumbers, not just us. The difference between us and the big box store? We're there if you need anything after the job. No 1-800 #'s to wait on hold if something goes wrong. You can call us 24/7 and we come back on a warranty just as fast as we do the first time. We hope people see the value in that kind of service. I wish I had a better answer, but this is the honest truth of the matter. Thanks again for using us and I hope you'll trust us again in the future.
