Wonderful! Brian was so very accommodating, even though it was a couple days before Christmas and he was extremely busy! He made time to squeeze me in and did a very thorough job, advising me and showing me along the way. Brian is a straight shooter, very fair and honest about pricing, and he couldn't be more courteous and polite! What a pleasure!

The clog proved to be a very difficult, but Brian persevered and was able to get the drain unclogged. He was very professional and terrific to deal with. I highly recommend ABC Plumbing Drain and Sewer Cleaning.

We received an appointment right away. The plumber knew immediately what the problem was. He had a needed part in his truck, which he used (instead of needing to drive to a plumbing supply store and charge us for that time). It was fixed within an hour, no muss, no fuss. We would definitely hire ABC Plumbing again.

Brian is the best. He is helpful, courteous, informed, and professional. He's a great communicator--- whether it has to do with what what the job entails, its cost, the kind of fixtures to buy, or if he has to change the scheduled work time. The job was done very well, and on time. I look forward to hiring him for my next renovation project.

I have used Brian in the past. He responds to calls even when on vacation. If a customer is in deep doodoo, he adjusts his schedule to handle an immediate crisis. Brian is full of helpful advice, and is aware that people like to save money. He will tell you what is only a quick cheap fix, and what will provide long-term quality and value. Then he will accept the solution that you choose. He will advise on the best brands for value and durability. He will suggest fixes that you can try to avoid a service call altogether. Brian's work is performed quickly and well. He cleans up after himself. He is professional and friendly in his manner. His manner inspires confidence, and his work fulfill that promise. Brian recommended a contractor to replace a floor. That contractor has completed a job for us in the same competentand professional manner. I recommend Brian without reservations.

Great. Original call was for (1) but he was also able to do (2) during same trip. Brian was recommended by a neighbor. I will definitely call ABC for future plumbing issues.
Description of Work: (1) Fixed existing hose connection including replacing length of pipe + adding new shut-off valve and spigot. (2) Added a new, second hose connection to the other side of the house, also with shut-off valve and spigot. (Note, new connection was through stone foundation, he noted it would have been more $ if going through house walls--above the foundation. There was also a water line close by to tap into.)

I have used ABC since 2001 for drain cleaning (twice, two different lines), kitchen faucet replacement, toilet reseat and reseal, and water heater replacement (2006 and 2014). I like him because he likes to educate the homeowner, and because he's practical about scheduling. If your job can't wait for him, he will refer to another plumber -- that is how a one-man shop handles overload. One of these days I will get him over here to install a new laundry sink in my basement, once I make room for it, and to install another outdoor spigot. He is conscientious about following code. I like the look of the solid piping he put together for the gas water heater back in 2006, replacing the flimsy flex tubing that I had used to install the previous water heater. His operation has the pluses and minuses of a one-man shop. You get to talk the the plumber himself, not to an office person. For me that is a plus, but it's possible that some other customers might need to talk to an office person who can translate between plumber talk and civilian talk. Perhaps I get along well with him because I have years of experience working in a situation where time is money, and I am not expecting to get something for nothing. If you can prepare the work area for him (clear the space to give good access, provide good lighting, et cetera) you will save him time and maybe save yourself money.
Description of Work: Installed new 40 gallon gas-fired hot water heater w/10 year warranty, and took away the old one. This also required installing a temporary CO detector, and video scoping the chimney to confirm it was good all the way up to the top.

Emgergency Thanksgiving kitchen sink drain clog! ABC *answered the phone*, explained their holiday pricing and policies (you pay even if you cancel, reasonable under the holiday circumstances) and when they would be here. They called back when the provider was on the way. The guy who did the work was cheerful, polite, helpful, efficient, professional, etc. And the price was high by their standards but honestly to solve a Thanksgiving day emergency I thought it was pretty reasonable. (The $235 I paid was the bottom end for Thanksgiving because it turned out to fairly straight forward, but the more usual figure is their top $295).

He called in the morning to see if he could come earlier than planned. That worked well for me. He obtained a special model to fit in my small bathroom in a century old house. It took only about an hour and he completely cleaned when finished. I'm very pleased with the brand and model of toilet installed. I had previously used him to unclog the sewer drain in the basement and was very pleased with that work.

After being let down by home depot, Brian was able to install my new dishwasher and coordinate an electrician to update my system to code. He did haveto reschedule do to an emergency job, but took 10% off for the hastle and was quick and professional during install, and most importantly very straight forward and trustworthy throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend.

Brian at ABC Plumbing has been my main plumber for the past 7+ years. Brian was responsive and reliable and went out his way to be helpful to me. He always explained my options, and gave me his best advice on how to save the most money in the long run, but he did not pressure me in any way. Another thing I appreciated about Brian is that he was careful not to damage floor or counter surfaces as he did his work. Brian is very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. I recently moved to NH and will miss his services very much. (I have already had a plumber here who has had to come back 3 times to fix the same problem!) Miss you Brian!

The water leaked around the edges of the pump container. I didn't make the zeros clear on the check so when the check was cashed at the bank for $85.60. He knew it was for $85.00 so he should have told the bank teller it was only $85.00.
Description of Work: I wanted the pipes snaked but he told me he couldn't do it because it was a vent pipe. He suggested to add another connection just for the water for washing machine to drain instead of through the pump which would cost $400 - $500. I asked him about fixing the leak around the container for the pump. He put silicon around the edges and charged me $85.00 for a service call.

I think they have standard pricing and it think it was a visit charge and probably a charge for each of the jobs.

Everytime I've worked with Brian, the results have been excellent - he always shows up on time, and sometimes early. He gives full disclosure as to what the work entails, and then, assuming you find the price acceptable, does the job right then and there. His estimates have always been accurate, and he's always pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: I've worked with Brian repeatedly over the past few years, and it's starting to become a question of what he -hasn't- done for me; New water main, toilet replacement, laundry 'box' installation, and other things as well.

They are excellent. They respond immediately and the quality of work is extremely good. The work is worth the amount I paid. They are doing multiple works at multiple buildings for about six or eight months now. He responds to emergencies and he does it really well. He has done a really good job.

I thought I needed to replace the old (1940s) shower faucet, but Brian showed me that that would involve damaging a lot of the tiles and it was hard to know the condition of the pipes inside. The replacement work would be expensive, and then it would cost a similar amount to have someone else come and fix the tiles. Instead he disassembled the faucet and found it was in good shape and just needed to be greased. That should take care of it for a good number of years.

I called Brian and he answered phone himself. He came over the next day and looked over the issue and we made a plan and he gave an estimate. He came on the day we scheduled on time and did the work. It turned out I needed an electrician for the disposal(no ground) so he came back the following day with electrician and finished the work. I've used him before and he is very very responsive and fair. He said it would be cheaper if I purchased toilet and then I could pay just for installation but there was a major leak and I didn't have time to go to a home improvement store. Simply put he's a good, fair, honest plumber.
Description of Work: Brian replaced a toilet, fixed 2 toilets (flapper valve issues), and replaced a garbage disposal. Price included the new toilet (a Toto) and new garbage disposal (don't know brand).

Brian had to reschedule my original appointment due to emergency calls he received over the weekend. He offered another company's name if I really needed the work done that day. Since the work wasn't an emergency, I went ahead and rescheduled, but that appointment also got delayed. At that point, he was extremely apologetic and said if he had to cancel again, he would make the visit for free. He did show up for the third appointment, and was very efficient. The toilet fix ended up being really simple, but the kitchen faucet was more work than I would have thought. Not his fault, the spray nozzle hose was of a variety not commonly used so he couldn't simply replace the nozzle, he had to replace the entire hose. Also it turned out the diverter in the faucet had been broken previously, and in a way that it couldn't be removed. So I ended up paying for a repair that doesn't really work, but again, that wasn't his fault.
Description of Work: I had several small plumbing issues that needed resolving. One running toilet, a dripping sink faucet, and a broken spray nozzle on the kitchen sink.

Very well. Each item he did work on involved non-routine issues (hard water that caused corrosion, a leaky sink discovered once the pedestal came off, faucets that weren't initially installed correctly by the builders of the house, etc.), and he was very thorough at explaining what he found and offering options for fixing problems and giving advice. He was also extremely personable and easy to talk to, and wasn't afraid to offer money-saving suggestions. Lastly, Brian took a lot of care to make sure he did his work neatly and cleaned up after himself everywhere.
Description of Work: Installed new toilet, three different sets of sink faucets, and fixed a water drip line.

We spent a great deal of time looking into various plumbers who couldn't fix the problem. After almost giving up as most of them said they had no idea how to take care of the trouble, we decided to call one more company and the rest is history. ABC came right out and diagnosed the problem as an underground clog in the drainage pipes. They and began work correcting the issue. We were so happy with the result, we have recommended them to all our neighbors.
Description of Work: The plumber found an underground clog in a drainage used for our washer and dryer combination system. He unclogged the drain by digging out an area of the basement. He then replaced the piping and patched up the cement floor. He had told me that someone had thrown cement down there and that was causing the problem.
