The job was done in an excellent way. I met the two gentlemen that was working at the house and the job was in the front garden. They not only did a great job but was very concern with not disturbing the plants in the garden. They left the job clean and restored the garden to the best of their ability which impressed me that they were as concerned for leaving the job and garden as they found it. I thank both of the workers and Mr. Frank for a great job.

I contacted Frank, with Bob's Plumbing (in Harahan). I found him to be extremely accommodating in trying to get someone out to fix my problem quickly. Two plumbers, Jimmy and Mike, arrived at my house ON TIME. They actually waited a few minutes for me to arrive (since I was stuck in traffic). I was their last appointment of the day. They immediately got to work on the problem. I was impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. In addition to replacing the sink strainer and tail piece on the drain, they replaced an O-ring on the sink spout, because it was also leaking. Whatever parts were needed, were on their truck. They came prepared! They were done in about 30 minutes. The cost for parts and labor was very reasonable, $143. I found everyone at Bob's Plumbing to be courteous and personable. It is my pleasure to write this review for the business. I will definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I discovered standing water in the bottom of my cabinet, underneath the kitchen sink. I could see the P-trap was leaking in (at least) one of the joints. What a mess! Obviously, it had been leaking for some time before I noticed it.

The staff is amazing. I have used them 3 times now..they diagnose the problem, show up right on time and seem to price fairly. I will definitely continue to use them!
Description of Work: I live in Boston and had "emergency" plumbing needs for our house in New Orleans. I had outstanding customer service! Within a short period of time, I felt I could trust this company to handle our repair - both efficiently, timely and fairly. The owner was conscientious and respectful. It's amazing, I don't dread the next time we need a plumber!

Great to work with. Extremely helpful. Did a wonderful job. I would hire again and would recommend.
Description of Work: My water shut off valve developed a big leak and needed immediate repair. I called Bob's hoping to find a plumber who could come right away. Frank arranged to have a plumber (Mike) come within a couple of hours. Frank called more than once to let me know of arrival information.

My wife and I were very nervous about how much wall cutting was going to be needed to find and repair the leak. Bob's plumbing personnel relieved our anxiety. The job went great. The total job took about 3.5 hours.
Description of Work: The plumbers had to locate a water leak in my home. Their expertise helped determine where the leak was located and only had to open up a 1 square foot hole in my sheetrock to expose the leaking cold water line. They replaced the broken line and I had running water.

My name is Chris Ruello and I highly recommend Bob's Plumbing. A few months ago my tankless water heater broke, being an older tankless model, it was quite tricky to fix, we hired other plumbers before Bob's plumbing, but it still would not pump out hot water! After about a week of not getting our calls returned from the other plumbers, we decided to give Bob's Plumbing a call. They got the job done atleast 10x faster than the other plumbers and we havent had an issue with it since! (Update) Recently our toilet in the upstairs bathroom has been acting up, but we called bobs plumbing over to do a replacement for us. Expecting to have to take off work so I could be home while they installed our new toilet, before I could even ask for the night off, they had finished the job in less than an hour. Once again, if you or someone you know has an issue, Bob's Plumbing is the right choice!!
Description of Work: 2 months ago I needed to have my tankless water heater worked on, then very recently I had a toilet replaced.

They took care of the job in no time. I have never had to call them back for any job, big or small, they have done for me. It has always been done right the first time. I highly reccommend this company. I go back many years using their services.
Description of Work: Thru the years I have called Bob's Plumbing for all my plumbing jobs. I called them on March 20, 2017 to unstop a toilet and sink. They came that day and performed the job. Everytime I call them, I know I can count on them to send someone as soon as they can. This was one of my smaller jobs but I have had them come for bigger jobs also.

They fixed me right up - unfortunately, given the age and condition of my water heaters (as the team showed me, the heaters had collected tons of corrosion and rust), I had to replace both heaters, which naturally was a shock to my wallet. But Bob's worked out a very fair price for their time and effort since thy could tell I wasn't expecting such a sudden cost, and the need for replacement was so dire. Installation wasn't going to be easy, since my heaters were in the attic and on the very far side, but the guys plugged along and didn't quit until it was done. They were careful to cover my floors to avoid any messes, and even cleaned out my tub after they drained the heaters. Took about half a day, and that's considering they had to go get another heater once they realized the other one needed to be replaced too.
Description of Work: I needed a new water heater - Bob's was quick with a response, price estimate, and tried to see what they could do to avoid having to put a new one in, since new water heaters are so expensive (I'm nine months pregnant, so money is tight).
