Description of Work: Repaired broken shower head. Answered questions about other repairs that will be done later. Tech (Lewis Mathews) was prompt, efficient, and gave me clear information about later work. |The only concern I had was related to lack of response by company to my initial call.

Description of Work: I called them requesting a visit and quote for a whole house remodel. They scheduled the visit and showed up on time. They were friendly and conducted themselves well during the walk through, but then I never heard back from them. No email with a quote. I tried contacting them several times, but they didn't return phone calls or email. I guess they were busy and not interested in doing my job...

I have used Narrow Way for almost 10 years, for myself and tenants who live in my 3-decker. This call was for my 2nd floor tenant. They were basically there to fix the things my general contractor had done wrong: connected the hot water to the new dishwasher (contractor had used cold), reinstalled the toilet properly (contractor had not secured bowl to floor), and they also removed a clog in the tub. Two hours of labor and parts for $200. I generally find their pricing to be fair, their workers knowledgeable and timely. When something isn't going smoothly, Matt has been available to come help them finish up.
Description of Work: Installed compression tee for dishwasher; connected dishwasher to hot water supply; removed drain clog w/ air ram; secured toilet bowl to floor and replaced wax seal.

The workers who came out were very competent and experienced about the task at hand. The work was done very quickly and the pricing was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to others in my area.
Description of Work: Narrow Way Plumbing & Heating did work on a blocked drain pipe in my main bathroom. They used an aerator to unclog the pipe and fixed a minor flushing problem on two toilets as well.

First visit- Fast scheduling and showed up promptly. Plumber uncommunicative and it seemed a long time, but it got done. Second visit- Different plumber, discourteous and wouldn't listen about the burner, he left and it went right out, had to return to fix as I'd suggested. Didn't use them again. 2005: Over a year later, another plumber found the 2nd flr toilet HAD NOT BEEN INSTALLED PROPERLY, missing a bolt, and no seal, and was responsible for extensive wall and ceiling leakage which we'd thought was a roof problem. Narroway did not return my 2 followup calls.
Description of Work: Two visits: 10/28/04 and 11/08/04 Removed 3rd flr & reinstalled on 2nd flr one toilet; installed new toilet (owner provided); removed single faucet and installed owner-provided one. $494. labor, $27.70. Changed thermocoupling on boiler and test. $145.

I have used Narroway for almost 20 years. They are very responsive, complete work, honest. I even had a hot water heater break once on X-mas Eve, and at the last minute, they sent a crew out to replace. Very reliable.
Description of Work: I have had gas stove and water heater installations, leaks, new shower installed, and general maintenance over the years.

I HIRED NARROW WAY TO REPAIR A LEAKY TUB. NARROW WAY TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW DRAIN PIPES. HOWEVER, THE TUB STILL LEAKED. NARROW WAY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY IT STILL LEAKED AND THAT I SHOULD TRY PUTTING DUCT TAPE AROUND THE PIPES TO SEE IF THAT WOULD WORK. I REPAIRED THE TUB MYSELF SPENDING $10 ON EPOXY.
