I had them come out because I thought I needed a snake. He ran the water and found no problem and didn’t charge. He said to call him for any other issues. I called him back a month later to unclog the sink; so they came out and snaked the sink and removed the clog. I didn’t run the dishwasher until later that day, so I called them because my sink began to overflow because of the dishwasher running. They came right out and fixed the problem at no additional charge. Even the secretary is a delight to speak with. If anybody needs a plumbing service, I would recommend them to the highest degree.
Description of Work: To inspect kitchen sink clog.

My husband tried to snake the drain with no luck. I tried to contact multiple 24 hour plumbing agencies and no one answered. I decided to join Angie's list because of this and that is how I found Jolly. They answered, gave me a price breakdown and the technician called me within 30 minutes. I know that can't always be the case but they were very fast. He was at the house within the time he said he would be and he used a machine to unclog the drain. It took him all a matter of 15-20 minutes. He was very nice and did great work. It would have been nice to have the price cut down because it took him all of 15-20 minutes but I understand that it is a weekend and it was about 8pm when he showed up. Over all I am very happy with the super quick fix and would definitely use them again. Thanks Jolly :)
Description of Work: The sink drain was clogged in our upstairs bathroom. A machine snake was used.

Plumber arrived the same day and cleared the debris in the pipe. Toilet appears to be working great now. Due to the simplicity of the procedure, he only charged us for the trip, not for labor. He provided additional information for future issues and was very helpful. Overall, it was a good experience.

I used Angie's List $129 two hour coupon. The plumber was experienced and was able to take the corroded cast iron and secure the line with a rubber clamp and put new PVC onto the line. He also provided expertise on a drain line from the dishwasher that we were struggling for a solution on.

Matt arrived, clean uniform with a smile on his face and did an outstanding job. Checked with us numerous times to be sure it looked like we thought it should and explained everything. No wonder Jolly Plumbing has been in business since the 70's and "A Flush still Beats A Full House"
Description of Work: Called Friday 7:30 am before Memorial Day weekend to have two new bathroom sinks installed, not sure if they could get here today, if not Tuesday after holiday. They called after a cancellation and arrived by 9:30am.

I would recommend their politeness and efficiency. They called earlier in the day saying that they were going to be here between 1 and 3. The guy even called and said that he was 15 minutes away and he kept me informed that he was going to be a couple of minutes late. He also called them and said that he was coming. I decided to go with them because they were on Angie's List. I called around and got a couple of estimates before I went to Angie's and they were definitely better priced. The quality of work was very good. He cleaned up after himself and left no mess. Their responsiveness was very good and they were very professional.

I've had Jolly do work before-- some inside plumbing, and replacing the line from the house to the septic tank, so I was reasonably sure they'd do a good job..The day of the work I talked to the 2 guy crew and showed them what I was looking for; then headed for work..I was very pleasantly surprised when I got home. They'd done a fantastic job-- more on the order of what I wanted rather than the rather sketchy details I had given them..The previous excavations were flattened. The drainage ditch was cleared..The creek was beautiful! Water now flowed through the bridge, rather than over it. The bed had been widened and the gravel and rock moved to the outside of the curve. The extra gravel had been moved to the uphill side part of the driveway heading towards the road, and the driveway had been flattened! Wonderful! The turnaround was flattened and ready to use!.A very well-done job to Jolly!
Description of Work: My driveway has a 'bridge--' a 4-pipe culvert. Over the years rock and debris had clogged the pipes and the bridge functioned more as a dam than a bridge. I wanted the junk taken out of the upstream side of the bridge. .On the downstream side, rock and gravel that had washed downstream had helped block the pipes and made the stream take a -very- convoluted path. The stream curved, and the outside of the curve was being washed out. I wanted the rock moved to the outside of the curve, both to 'reinforce' the bank, and to improve the flow..Heading up the driveway from the bridge I wanted an area smoothed out so I had a 'turnaround' on the highway side of the bridge (I was having the approaches to the bridge repaved, and needed a place to park while the concrete hardened)..I also had a drainage ditch along the driveway that had accumulated a lot of muck and debris and needed to be cleaned out (only about a 1 to 1-1/2 foot deep)..I also had some rough places in the lawn where previous excavations had never been leveled off that needed to be flattened..

He was here not even an hour and charged me $265. It started leaking again that night, so he didn't even fix the problem. I had to call him back. They sent a technician who really knew what he was doing and didn't charge me anything. I thought the price was a bit much for such a short amount of time. The first guy didn't know what he was doing. I would recommend the second guy to anyone. He really knew what he was doing, his name is Al. The price was too high. They were good on punctuality. I would use them again if I could request the plumber that came to my house.

I thought I was hearing dripping water in my basement when any water was running, but there were no signs of water damage. Jolly plumbing came the same day and was extremely nice and informative. We did not have any water problems, the noise was just the expanding of the pipes which the worker had said he had heard with other people's pipes before. I was very happy with the information and honesty but he charged us $35.00 for coming out and telling us nothing was wrong, even though he said he was in the area anyway. So BE AWARE ESTIMATES ARE NOT FREE!!!

Response from Jolly Plumbing
I am responding to this client's comments regarding her warning that the estimates are not free and the "F" grade for price. Jolly Plumbing received her service call at around 8:45 AM and had a service man at her door at 12:30 PM. She called to receive service for what she thought was a leak. We responded to her call as a service call not as an estimate. Our technician spent 15 minutes researching the issue and he determined that there was in fact no leak. The technician charged only $35 for his expertise, time and the travel time required to get to the job. I feel that Jolly Plumbing provided great service and was very fair and reasonable in the pricing. Respectfully submitted, Barry Jolly President Jolly Plumbing

we discovered there was a leak in our upstairs shower/tub when we saw water coming through a light fixture downstairs. Never a good sign. I called Jolly Plumbing based upon their reviews and I am very glad that I did! I called at 10:30 am and by 11 am George was at the front door! (good timing) I explained the situation and told him what we observed when the leak occurred. After working for a few minutes, he was able to recreate the leak and determine that the seal had deteriorated. George explained what was wrong, and how he planned to remedy the situation, then proceeded to reseal the fixture.Afterwards, he suggested that we check the next time the shower was used as small leaks are sometimes hidden by larger ones and it is an older bathroom. George answered any questions I had and took the time to let me know exactly what would be needed for them to quote an upcoming bath remodel which may need some plumbing work. Total bill was $125 for the per hour charge and $2 for materials. George did give me a coupon which could be used towards our next service call. I know we'll get use of it! Highly recommend!
Description of Work: We had a leak in an upstairs plumbing fixture. Jolly Plumbing came out to assess and make the repair. Our problem was a deteriorated seal. Tech explained what the problem was before he undertook the work. After he was done, he explained again how he made the repair, and what products were used, as well as directions to ensure all leaks were sealed. Work was performed in a timely and professional manner. Great company to work with. Will use again.

I came home from traveling for work and realized that when the toilet had been flushed, water was backing up through the basement drain. After dealing with some other big name companies, I called Jolly Plumbing to give me an estimate on what needed to be done. As this was a repeat problem, they immediately realized that the repair would require excavation and a new pipe at the problem location. Because they realized the scope of the repair, they performed the locator and camera functions at no additional charge. The gentlemen who gave me the quote was very punctual and on time and easy to work with over the phone. The plumbers themselves arrived 15 minutes early the morning of the work and were done and cleaned up within 4 hours of starting. I would highly recommend using this service for all your heavy plumbing work. They are very experienced and know what they are doing.
Description of Work: Jolly plumbing excavated the ground where my main sewer line had collapsed. They installed a new cleanout at that location and 6 ft of new PVC piping to reopen the line.

I think their head plumber was very knowledgeable, honest and made it easy for you to make decisions as a home owner. The only negative aspect of the service is that they original person who estimated the job was going to do a cheaper option. It didn't make sense to me but when the other plumbers came it changed the scope and added to the cost. I felt better with that as it was, I don't mean anything bad about it. They were going to add a certain amount, it was a significant add and the plumber said he would do what he could to do it as quickly as possible and get me a better price. I think they took $200 off the original price they had asked, which was going to be the price they initially quoted plus the add for the additional work. I was pleased overall. They had to schedule 3 times and they were able to work with my schedule. To me they were responsive enough, to other people maybe not.
Description of Work: We use Jolly Plumbing for plumbing. Most recently they replaced sections of old drain pipe for the toilet, bathroom sink and tub. They installed the new tub drainage and set up the water. It was basically a bath remodel.

The process was very smooth. They came out to get a visual on the site, took notes and photos. Emailed a quote within 2 days, offering 3 options. We did our research and made our choice. The work was completed within 2 weeks of the initial visit, mainly due to the shipping of the Rinnai unit
Description of Work: Removed an existing water heater and replaced it with a Rinnai tank less unit. Had to reroute the vent stack to make way for a larger remodel plan. Clean work, offered great suggestions on how to make the installation work within our existing conditions

It went better than we could have imagined. Their solution to our flooding problem -- a sump pump rather than replacing the pipe in front yard -- works perfectly and is much cheaper than we feared. Have called them again for other minor plumbing problems -- fixing a leaking faucet, replacing an outdoor faucet -- and have been every bit as happy with their professionalism, quality of work and focus on finding ways to save us money rather than pay more money. We have a very old house, with plenty of plumbing problems over the years, so in the long run they will make much more money off of us this way.
Description of Work: We called because our basement kept flooding and other plumbers had said we'd need to have expensive camera brought in and likely need the old, caved-in pipe replaced in much of the front yard. We were looking at major dollars. Jolly suggested the problem could be solved in much less costly fashion simply by installing a sump pump. Bottom line: They did, it works and we are exceedingly happy.

The bid was significantly lower than the first company I called (over 30% less) but in line with my expectations. If I would have had to pay the first contractors price I would have dug the line myself. They were considerate about not bringing mud into the house as they were digging on a wet day. They did do a little extra in cutting back and redirecting my down spout away from my house. The head guy even had a sense of humor - seemed like he actually liked his job. I would definitely hire again but hope that I won't have to. Overall...much better than I could have ever expected.
Description of Work: I had a new main water line installed from the curb to the back of my house...about 165' of 3/4 inch black poly pipe and a relatively easy dig with no obstacles and no rock. Copper would have been an extra 900 or so.
