It went very well!!! The cost below may seem high but they had to do a bunch of work in my basement to get access to the outdoor pipe.

Do not recommend them. Paid $79 call out fee to know they can’t fix it immediately and that too for a very expensive quote ($500+) than I got from anyone else for free. Not a tough job by any means. The leaky pipe is exposed and fully accessible with no restrictions.

The pipe leaking was plastic CPVC water pipe. We planned on replacing the plastic pipe in that area including an outside faucet and inside shut-off. The price for that was $433.73 with a dispatch fee. The owner had received 2 prices before we arrived. I am not sure what was included in the other quotes.

Everyone at Papalia is professional, courteous and attentive, from the sales person, to the manager, plumber, scheduling person, etc. The sales person responded to my many emails and questions before I engaged them. The manager and sales person came a week before the work started to inspect the area and respond to any concerns I had. When the plumbers arrived to perform the work, they took care of all the requests I had asked for before. They were very organized and they cleaned after them everyday. Work was performed exactly as expected. I could not be more pleased with their service.

Our plumber (Corey?) arrived on time (maybe even early), did both jobs efficiently, and explained to us what he did, including the problems he encountered. On the water filter valve, he identified a separate potential problem with the well, and recommended we call our pump company. With the toilet, he pointed out the old toilet had been glued to the floor with silicon, and asked if he wanted to continue even though it might damage the tile to remove it. We said to go ahead. Three tiles cracked; he reduced the bill (taking off the initial visit charge) to compensate for the damage (even though it was unavoidable). He was friendly, polite, and professional.

Excellent! Incredibly flexible! I had to change appointments a couple of times and Papalia just rolled with it. They are very responsive and did a great job keeping me up to date on who the plumber was and when to expect him. It can be difficult finding good, reliable, responsive, polite, professional services, but Papalia doesn't disappoint. I'm going to have them back to do electrical work next.

My 83-year old Dad needed a plumber to fix a leaking pipe from a bathroom. My Dad had already turned the water off to stop the leaking from the bathroom and told the plumber exactly where the problem was. It took Papalia Plumbing 1 hour and a small amount of copper pipe to fix the leak; however, Papalia charged my Dad $770! My Dad regrets accepting this crazy expensive quote from Papalia and we'll never use this plumber again. Papalia took advantage of my 83-year old Dad who couldn't wait any longer to get this plumbing fix done!

Like clockwork. John arrived in the time window with a huge truck, which allowed him to diagnose and perform the repair in less than an hour. The cost for part and labor was quoted up front, so there are no surprises. Note that a dispatch fee does apply.

We had Pappalia do some plumbing work, including an inspection of our steam heating pipes prior to putting our home on the market. They were professional and the work done was more than satisfactory - we would have loved to have hired them to do some plumbing remodeling in our new condo, but we are now out of their service area.

Called to inquire about getting a new water heater put in my home. Scheduled time for a tech to come check it out and give me an estimate. Not until after I scheduled and got a confirmation, did I realize that I was going to be charged $90 for the estimate. I had plenty of people willing to come and check it out without charging me. They might be good, but charging almost $100 for an estimate, no thanks.

[Member Name Removed] Thank you for reaching out to us. Dispatch fee of $79 is to get a licensed plumber with his fully stocked truck to you home. Which means that they have everything they need to complete a job, including a water heater. We also inform all customers when calling to book an appointment of how we work; fee, courtesy call and payment options. Thank you Robin

Great! I had another company out prior to Papalia and they wanted to charge a lot of money to add an additional return. Another solution (the one Papalia provided) was changing the system settings which solved the noise issue and still cooled our house. The other piece was an emergency cut off that was as advised to be installed as our unit is on the 3rd floor and if the system leaked it could mean serious damage to the ceiling of our 2nd floor. I appreciated Branden being an honest professional and he was willing to explain things to me. I couldn’t get a breakdown of the cost from the other company which seems shady to me. As far as Papalia goes I was pleased with the service quality and price.

It was a waste of time and money. Papalia was one of three plumbing/drain service companies I called to price a job of clearing sink drain clogs in our two bathrooms. Unlike others, they insisted they could not estimate the cost of the job until they came out to have a look. For this visit, they charge a $50 dispatch fee. That fee was charged whether or not I hired them. I reluctantly agreed to the terms. The office and technician were professional. Their pricing model is rediculous. I described my problem to their technician. He poked at some icons on his tablet and came up with a price for the service. He gave me a price of around $350 to clear one drain. The second one would be additional money. There is no way he had to come to my house and charge me $50 to price this work. Their rate was twice what I ended up paying from another provider. I paid him the $50 dispatch fee and sent him on his way. Perhaps they figure a homeowner will pay the inflated rate for service if they are already paying the dispatch fee. Perhaps these guys are good at more complex plumbing projects. Either was, their business/pricing model does not scale down to a simple drain snaking project. I do not recomend Papalia Plumbing Services for drain clearning. I won't consider them for any pumbing work. Check their competitors before committing to their rates.
