Description of Work: Uses a voicemail. They responded to my urgent call within a few hours and listened to my description of the problem. We agreed that it could actually wait until morning -- which saved me a lot of money. Arrived promptly as scheduled, worked quickly and efficiently to fix the problem - a bathroom faucet which would no longer turn off, leaving a constant stream of water. Fixed the hot water, too, as a precaution. Turns out he is a former CPA accountant who decided to come home and join the family business. Very nice, intelligent, and capable guy. Lives locally as part of an extended family, and has a lot of local business.

Ron let me know when he would arrive by calling ahead. He worked diligently to get an obstinate faucet apart without damaging the finish. Then he replaced parts, which I had been sent previously by the manufacturer, cleaned the moving parts to improve the lever motion and the button to change water flow from spray to stream. He noted that the old parts are probably still fine and may not have been necessary to the repair (the manufacturer said they were needed when I had called them about the problem 3 months earlier.)
Description of Work: Replace kitchen faucet parts and fixed lever to make it move smoothly on a 2 year old faucet. Also fixed stream/ spray button.

We called on a Sunday during a blizzard. It is not really fair to judge them on responsiveness under the circumstances. The plumber came the next day as soon as we got our drive plowed. A solution was offered on the phone. It wasn't the solution, but it was appreciated. Our sewage lift problem was fixed. We were delighted with the quick fix and thought the price was fair.

After I left a phone message, Ron Bolivar called back and we arranged a time for him to look at the job. He promised an estimate within a week. A week later I called to inquire about the estimate. I finally got the estimate a couple of weeks after the visit. I thought it was a little high, but after getting a couple of other estimates determined that it is reasonable. I emailed Bolivar Plumbing asking to schedule the work, and Ron called back promptly saying it was on his schedule for the following week. Two plumbers arrived as expected at 8 am. They finished the work by 10 am. Everything works. I'm satisfied with the work, and the bill was $300 less than the estimate.

Very well, though when I found the cost was unknown to the plumber and "i would be billed" it made me nervous about what is going to come in the mail.
Description of Work: They responded quickly to an emergency call and send out a plumber within a couple of hours. He fixed the leak that was the problem and left, saying that I would receive a bill. Have not yet received the bill, so don't know what the cost is going to turn out to be.

We have used them 3 or 4 times. They are excellent. They are very quick to respond. They have come out in a number of emergency situations in a matter of 20 minutes. We highly recommend them. The price is hard to figure because we did not do comparison shopping. Both my husband's and my feeling was that we did not know what the right price was. We had emergency situations and we had to pay the price.

Called on a Sunday morning when this pipe ruptured and we had no heat. Left message on emergency line. Mr. Bolivar himself called back in less than 30 minutes and arrived at the house about 30 minutes after that. He was unable to patch the pipe as he had hoped so he cut and replaced the necessary section. He saved the cut piece in case of insurance reimbursement without being asked. He was very friendly and hard-working. He gave us an additional discount on top of the one offered through Angie's list. He did such a good job under those conditions that we have hired him twice since for scheduled jobs. On the first of these, he recommended against replacing an old faucet as he thought that job would be expensive to do and not much of an improvement -- even though he could have just done it and made a lot of money without saying anything. On the second occasion, we had him come and evaluate our radiators. He did a wonderful job updating our steam release valves and has made the whole system much more efficient. He was fast and easy to schedule.
Description of Work: replaced a ruptured steam pipe in the basement

I was able to schedule the visit for a specific day so that my husband could be home so that he could try to learn how to drain the system himself. The plumber arrived exactly at the time scheduled. He was happy to explain to my husband what he was doing while my husband took notes. I showed him where an area seemed corroded and he said there must have been a leak that had sealed itself up. He was able to change out the valve/pipe with a new one. He was here an hour or so so the price seemed reasonable which has not been my experience with other plumbers in the past. So we were very happy since we'd had bad experiences with other plumbers in the past.
Description of Work: Had him drain water from forced hot water heating system to get rid of air in the system. He also replaced a valve that had a leak in the past.

Great, we called them in for a second opinion on an issue we were having with our shower leaking through the ceiling on the floor underneath. A previous plumber said they would need to take the shower floor out, replace the copper pan, retile and weld the pipe for a total of $4,000. We brought Bolivar in for a second opinion and they said that all we needed to do was re-weld the pipe, so we had them do so. They saved us a ton of money and we haven't had a leak problem since then.

I called Bolivar Plumbing when I discovered the leak, that was dripping through in my house. I was very pleased with the quick response time and the pleasant serviceman. He was able to find and replace the pipe with a minimal amount of damage to the wall and kept the water damage to a minimum. I do not recall what he charged, but I do recall thinking how reasonable it was, especially for an emergency type call. I recommend his services.

Ron was prompt in coming out to give me an estimate and was able to answer all questions. He was able to schedule me promptly when I was ready to have work done. His guys were there on time and polite. Believe it or not, but I bid the job to two other plumbers and their bids came in higher!
Description of Work: Installed drain, vent, and supply lines for a bathroom in new addition--toilet, sink, bathtub, and shower. Cut and capped lines from old bathroom. Re-used existing vent through roof. Above cost does not include fixtures. A fair amount of cutting holes through joists/ studs was necessary to accommodate drains/ vent.

I called in the morning after snaking the kitchen sink myself. The receptionist was pleasant and was able to add me on to the schedule for 3 hrs later. The plumber arrived promptly. He did his work professionally. He made helpful suggestions and cleaned up around where he had worked.
Description of Work: The kitchen sink was snaked with two different lines to unclog it. The bathtub was snaked also to repair a very slow drain. I had purchased the wrong size parts for the last job which was put off.
