I called and left a message at 6:30PM (they were closed for the day). I received a call back at 8:30 am the next day. They gave me a range of time that morning and I received a call when he was on his way. They fixed the broken pipe and found a hole further down the pipe that was hidden behind more drywall. They had the whole job completed in less than 2 hours. It looks great, works great, and should last another 50 years!
Description of Work: I had a problem with an iron drain pipe in the kitchen that finally rusted through after 50 years.

They were on time, professional, quick and courteous. Being that our situation was an emergency, they reacted quickly and had us back to a warm condo in under 4hrs. We were very thankful of their services and will definitely use them in the future and refer them to our friends.

BJ came out quickly to bid the job. He gave me the best bid. His guys was great. They were nice and very efficient. They arrived when they said they would and were communicative with me throughout the job. I would recommend them and have already had them bid another job for me.
Description of Work: McVey Plumbing busted up the concrete in my basement and ran all new plumbing and drain lines for a new shower, toilet, vanity, and kitchenette. Once I was finished with the remodel they came back and set all the fixtures for those new lines and also replaced my water heater with a 50 gallon high-recovery water heater.

I had called because the water company told me I had a leak. I am on a huge piece of land and alone. I could not even begin to locate what the water company was talking about and I tried walking this long water line with no success. When I called the Tom McVey company the service man actually dug in an area that appeared to be involved and found nothing. After searching the line with no results, he recommended an air pressure company which eventually solved the problem. Just nice, very helpful people.
Description of Work: It was years ago, but I had a water leak outside and had no idea how to find it in a 700 foot water line. This company came out and when the service person could not locate it readily he recommended an air pressure company who could. No charge. They had been recommended to me by a friend and I won't use anybody else. Wonderful, responsive.

They are very professional and always get to you in a timely manner. As I stated above they have done all the plumbing on our 87 year old house. We had a new kitchen renovation and they did an awesome job. We are in the process of adding a new bathroom and B.J. and his crew have done and are still in the process of plumbing this for us. We would not use any one else but McVey Plumbing.
Description of Work: They have done several jobs for us. This last one was a leaky facet. However, McVey Plumbing has done all of the plumbing on our 87 year old house. I would never use anyone but BJ and his crew.

I had bought a home that I needed a plumber to come in and make a few small repairs as well as give me a thumbs up on over all condition. John showed up and let me know everything I asked as well as gave suggestions on other things. My leak was a quick fix and he went above and beyond on other plumbing that I didnt even think to check. John is very prompt and professional as well as personable. He is the last of the few great plumbers out there. I have always asked a family member for references or referrals. The one time I didnt ask family, I asked a close friend, she referred John McVey and once I made the call I found out he has been servicing my family for over 20 years with excellent service. (I have learned to ask family first now). I really wish ALL home service companies were as great as John McVey. HIGHLY recommended!
Description of Work: Called McVey to stop an outside spicket leak and to check all water valves in the house and replace any needed.

He has done complicated work. He is excellent for general plumbing. His pricing is extremely reasonable. I recommended him to one of the friends of mine. He charged my friend one third of what others charged my friend to install the water heater. He provides an excellent service. He is the one who told me that he doesn't get into a sewer line under the basement and doesn't get into the big stuff where he has to dig up the yard.
Description of Work: I used the services of John D McVey Plumbing Co to replace the pinhole leaks in the copper water lines. I also had them replace the faucets and things like that.

I have used him for years. He is very responsive. The plumbers that he sends out are helpful and they really educate you. They give you do-it-yourself hints for jobs like that. We have used him for 20 years now. He has done great big jobs for me and he has put a waterline in the front yard for me. His pricing is good. He is professional and friendly. He does the job very quickly.

Our biggest job, which was the bathroom remodel, went great. John came in significantly less than the two other quotes we'd had and came highly recommend from our neighbor - I'm glad we took her advice. Seeing the bathroom for the first time with all our new fixtures was very exciting. We installed a claw foot tub which had a pretty complex faucet and it looks so great - they did such a good job. When they had to fix our leak coming from the kitchen - apparently he had to pull out our entire lower cabinets and I could barely tell with the exception of the smallest paint chip only noticable when you open one of the cabinet doors. They are also very honest. Neither of us could find my receipt from my downpayment on the bath remodel (70% down). When we were all done he sent me a final bill and said that if I found my original receipt and that I paid more then we thought to let him know. I finally found the receipt and I'd overpaid by $100 and he had a check to me by the end of the week!
Description of Work: I have used McVey for multiple jobs. We gutted and remodeled our bathroom, which involved moving all the plumbing for the tub/toilet/sink. They fixed the leak we had on the exterior of the house by switching out some of the plumbing in our kitchen, and they've cleaned out our drains in our upstairs bath when they were running slow. Most recently they helped us to connect a new gas stove that we were having problems with.

Great. He showed up quickly and finished the work in no time.
Description of Work: Our tub faucet was leaking and the hot water handle was stuck. He replaced both handles and fixed the leak. We've used McVey plumbing for the last 10 years and wouldn't dream of calling another plumber.

This was the 3rd time that I have had McVey plumbing do a great job. Each time they have been quick to respond, pleasant to work with, and got the job done in a timely fashion. When, after the job was finished, a problem showed up, McVey Plumbing came back and made it right. I am happy to recommend John McVey to others.
Description of Work: I have used McVey Plumbing three times in the past three years: 1) Put in a new water line to my house way up a stoney hill. 2) Replaced a submersible pump in the septic system. 3) Connected water pipe from house to barn and installed freeze-proof hydrants.

McVey Plumbing came right out when I told them that water was coming out from under the kitchen sink. I thought I was in for a big bill but they discovered that it was just a couple of loose fittings and all it needed was tightened. While they were here, they also checked the bathroom sink and drain and tightened that as well. I am so glad I called them they really saved the day.
