Rick's Plumbing

Rick came exactly when he said on a Sunday morning. After looking at the situation he told us exactly what the problem was, what materials he would need to complete the repairs and when he would estimate the repairs to be completed. He also gave us the estimate of the total cost. He completed the repairs exactly as he said within the time he had given us. His cost was as stated. We have since recommended Rick to a neighbor who was also having water problems. He corrected their problem also at a reasonable cost.

More than I expected! Honest and extremely helpful.

I contacted Rick to have pipes under my house insulated that had frozen in the recent cold weather. He advised that the work needed did not require a plumber and he referred me to a handy man he has worked with before. As it turned out the handy man recommended a different solution to insulating the pipes as the pipes had too many odd bends and twists. He recommended using a light bulb to warm the area. I will do this myself. I did not actually use Rick's services, but I will call him should a future plumbing issue arise.

Rick was very knowledgable and his work seemed high quality to me. Looking at the pipes under my sink before and after, the new pipes actually look "beautiful," if you can say that about pipes! They are nice and perfect looking. Sink drains so much better than before and no bad smell. He worked very hard to get my pipes back in working order as fast as possible (working late on some nights), and he made what could have been an unfortunate plumbing problem not quite so bad.

Magnificent plumbing work, extremely knowledgeable, and a great guy. He made sure every detail was done perfectly. He provided us w/ different options w/ our bathroom design and explained each to us (re-plumb, venting, positioning of pipes, etc). We have an old pier and beam home that we're slowly redoing. Looking forward to working w/ Mr. Ricky on all plumbing!

I called three plumbers from Angies list. All three called back. I told all three that I had called three plumbers, and was asking for a fixed price proposal. After I described the the job (need new water heater), all three said they would call back after checking prices. Two did not call back. Rick Carmouche of Rick's plumbing called back promptly. He made a slight rearrangement in his schedule so he could come by and look at the job, and arrived shortly thereafter. He checked the old heater, looked at the old installation, and gave me a detailed written fixed price proposal that included adding gas and water cut-off valves, and increasing the size of the temperature-pressure relief valve drain line. I told him I would wait to hear from the other two plumbers I called. He said that was fair, and went on his way. The other two shops never called back after the first conversation. I called Ricky Carmouche, and accepted his proposal. He said he would be at my house the next morning at a certain time. He arrived on time the next day. He had all the materials and tools he needed on his truck. He did exactly what he said he would do. He did it quickly and well. His price was as quoted. In the course of going his work, he protected our floors from damage and was careful not to cause any other problems. Before he left, he removed all packing and other work debris from our place, mopped and vacuumed as needed, loaded everything back on his truck (including the old heater), and went to the next job. When he was done, the new water heater, and hot water in the taps, was the only evidence he had been here. After fiddling the thermostat to our liking, we have had no problems with the new heater. Besides the above, Ricky is a very pleasant person to deal with.

Appointment made Friday evening for Tuesday morning. Arrived promptly Tuesday at appointed time. BAthtub leak quickly identified and low cost solution recommended.

This was a DIY project that just went downhill quickly!! Saturday afternoon my husband tried to remove the toilet from the hall bathroom and discovered the flange was cracked at the floor. We called Mr. Carmouche at 6pm that night and HE answered the phone. We gave him all the details. He assured us that it was easily fixable and could do the job Sunday morning around 10:00. WHAT??? Yes, he is open for business 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm. True to his word he showed up at 10am. He assembled, replaced the flange in the hall bathroom and installed both toilets in no time. He was very neat in his work and super polite. We will definitely call him again!

I called Rick for an estimate to correct for a plumbing line that was not draining well (washing machine and kitchen sink/dishwasher). He talked with me for a while on the phone about my problem and suggested I just needed a good drain cleaner. He doesn't do drain cleaning, but he gave me the contact info for a guy he uses, Jose at Jasmine's Drain Cleaning. Jose was excellent! I thought my problem was more than just a slow drain since I had already had Roto Rooter out to snake the pipe. Turns out they just did a bad job. Rick was very helpful and I intend to use him in the future for some plumbing installation. Jasmine's is not on Angie's List, but I will add and review them soon.

I had a problem with a bent water spigot outside on the side of my house. I called another plumber (American Plumbing) and they came out and told me it would be $500 to fix it. They had to go through the inside under my kitchen sink and it would be a lot of labor cost. I couldn't believe it would cost so much. So I told them I would let them know. I checked Angie's list and called Rick. He advised me over the phone that he could do it for around $250.00 and that the other bid sounded way too high. I wanted Rick to do the job, but he was out of town for another week and I needed it done quickly as we were leaking water. Even though Rick did not do the work, he was happy to give the advice and even stated that he often helps his customers with problems over the phone. He understands what customer care is all about.

He showed up as promised, and completed the work quickly. Pleasant visit as well.

He was fast and very friendly. I even felt comfortable enough to ask him questions about a remodel we are planning on doing.

Rick came out to do the repair at my son's condo and once he got started, we realized he needed another part because the facets were so old. He left to go get the part, was back in no time and completed the repair. I thought his price was really good and I am completely pleased with the work he did.

I called Rick because one of my toilets was leaking around the base. He recommended that the toilet be replaced and I inquired about a package deal to replace all three of my toilets. We agreed on the price and he ordered the toilets from the local distributor. I first shopped on-line for these toilets and found Rick's price to be more than competitive. He was very thorough and professional and did a neat job of caulking the bases of the toilets, something other plumbers had not bothered to do when they had to re-seat them. Rick normally works without a helper so he may be limited in the kinds of jobs he can take on but it's worth checking with him first. I was very pleased with both the work and the price. I'll be using him again.

Rick is the best! He replaced my 40+ year old hot water heater and made sure everything was safe and up to code. He installed a new drain line and pan and fittings as well. Rick is extremely professional, prompt, and friendly. He is very interested in doing the job the right way. I can't recommend him highly enough!

I got him from Angie's List the first time. He is good and honest. With regard to price, plumbers are all expensive nowadays. His price was probably about as expected. He was there immediately. I called him up and he was on his way. He was professional.

He is excellent. Ricky is very knowledgable about the work he performs. He has done many projects for me throughout the years, always remarkably competent and honest.

I twisted off a outdoor water bib and need someone fast. Rick came when he said he would, and had a great attuide.He went right to work and configuered the job just the way I wanted. Since he did so well with the outdoor job I asked him to replace the water shut off valve on our Refr.

It was time consuming and delayed, but the problem was the first kitchen faucet was defective. It had to be removed, returned and another purchased. The lavatory faucet as well had to be returned as we had purchased one that was not compatible with the older lavatory. He was positive, polite and co-operative throughout. Would definitely hire again.

He installed the 2 cut-off valves that I provided, so cost was for labor, only. It took about an hour so about 115. an hour. Pretty expensive, but that's probably what plumber go for now

Service is professional and quick at a fair price what else can you ask for? Rick replaced exterior water faucet and added an adapter so I can replace myself next time.

I called Rick at 5:30 pm on a Friday afternoon because I ran into trouble trying to replace my kitchen faucet. The hot water shut off valve was leaking. Not only did Rick fix the shut off valve, he installed my faucet for me - all within a 2-hour window. What a nice person! He was very professional and skilled at his work, made me feel very much at ease, answered all my DIY questions, and gave me some tips to boot. I thought his rates were very reasonable for an emergency call. I can't thank you enough, Rick!

Ricky arrived on time, removed our old toilets and replaced them with new ones. He made sure the toilets were installed correctly - no movement. He did a great job of cleaning up and even hauled off the old toilets. We were very happy with his excellent work. As a bonus, he came by a fews days before the job and measured to make sure the toilets we picked out would fit.

According to my wife: He asked for a picture of the stems which I happened to have taken. This helped him get the appropriate stems prior to arriving. He offered other options/suggestions as alternatives such as updating to a more current single stem, before replacing. He did the replacements in 30 minutes which was very fast. On his way out he left a card and offered over the phone help at no charge, if attempting to to do any repairs on our own and got stuck. Definitely a top notch plumber and would call again in a heartbeat!

Great Job! Will use again!
