It went well and I would use him again if the need arises
Description of Work: Our shower was leaking into the down stairs and Steve thought he knew what was causing it even before he got here. He arrived on time and examined the shower. He couldn't find evidence of a leak, but he recaulked everything anyway. It was still leaking and I called him back. It turns out that we have a crack in the tub and he thinks the water is leaking from there, not the pipes. He gave me the name of a fiberglass repairman that I need to call. I was happy with his honesty and integrity.

In late December we had a very cold night and my heating system failed. I called my next-door friend so see if he could fix it. Tried but no-go. He called Steve's (we were both customers). I was ill with nursing care attending me. My neighbor explained the situation. Mr. Steve refused to come to my home -- said he was tired and was not about to go out! Needless to say, he lost two customers.
Description of Work: Nothing.

Sorry to here of your disappointment, as I cannot be available 24 / 7. Your phone call was answered or returned instead of being ignored. My particular reasons for not being available remain to be my personal business.

I called Steve's Plumbing on a Friday. Aaron returned the call the same day and made an appointment for Monday morning. He showed up on time, and was very pleasant and professional. He brought a new faucet and explained that this was a brand for which we would be able to get replacement parts for in the future. He made sure the job was done right, and even helped me with a problem that we were having with the bathroom sink drain. He did a great job. I was very impressed and will definitely call this company again in the future. They are highly recommended.

This being at the end of the day, I also called another company. Steve called back the next morning, but was about a half hour behind his competition. I thanked him for his call back, and let him know his competition had been a bit faster. Mid-way through "faster" he hung up on me. I would have expected "thank you for thinking of us, maybe next time." Very unprofessional, will not invite to bid again.
Description of Work: I had called Steve's because of a water breach in my basement.

I have an old house and I use Steve a lot. I like them a lot and I have used them in my previous house and in this house because I have tons of pluming work. They are fantastic and they were even out there one time in an emergency when the water heater wasn’t working. They come out right away and they are great with my kids because people who come to my house get swarmed by my four kids and a lot of people aren’t great with that, but these guys are. They come right away, they do great work and they have great prices and I like them personally.
Description of Work: I use Steve’s Plumbing and Heating for plumbing. The last time I need work done, Steve’s partner Aaron came out to replace my kitchen faucet.

Aaron (who works with Steve) made arrangements in a timely fashion, showed up on time, and fixed a leaking pipe from the outside spicket. He checked all the other faucets and was very honest about what needed to be done and what didn't. The price was reasonable, the work excellent. We'd absolutely use them again.

At the appointed time two of his employees came and did exactly what he said they would do. They asked me if I had taken his advice and changed the faucets-which showed me that they had communicated. They were courteous and respectful of my property, and they cleaned up after themselves. As they were about to leave my daughter reminded me that the toilet was making a loud whining noise when flushed. I asked them about it and they checked it out with me. They didn't have the replacement part onthe truck but said they would call the following week so I could get it fixed. I thought "Sure, I won't hear from you again". Well, here's the surprise- He did call back - And came out to fix the problem!!!! I AM SO AMAZED!!! Each person was courteous, knowledgeable, respectful, and conscientious. I would recommend them to everyone! I had let my bathroom go because I had dealt with apathy from others - finally here is someone who takes pride in the work they do. My bathroom thanks you - I thank you - and thank you to Angie's list for bringing us together.
Description of Work: One of the faucets in my bathroom had developed a leak which was getting worse. I have a double vanity and the faucets were over 25 years old. The other faucet was 'frozen' and had been unusable for years. Initially I called someone else who said the faucets couldn't be changed without changing the vanity top as well because the faucets were located up behind the bowl form of the vanity. Since I didn't want to do this I told him to forget it. I came to Angie's list and looked for a plumber. I called Steve's and he called back promptly. I explained the situation -I wanted to make sure he knew the situation ahead of time and would bring the appropriate tools for the job. He told me it wouldn't be a problem, he would send 2 guys to lift the top of the vanity off the base, bring it to a spot they could work on it, and replace the faucets. Since I had bought the faucets already he cautioned me about the differences in brands and the ability to get replacement parts in the future. We set up an appointment and I took his advice and changed the faucets.

I called Steve on a Friday and he came to perform the work that following Monday. He was clean, polite and on time. He disconnected and removed the pipe leading to an old gas log fireplace that had stopped working and also capped off the pipe in my basement. The entire job took less than 30 minutes and cost far less than other companies I had quoted. I would not hesitate to call Steve again for any type of plumbing or heating job.

With the holidays approaching, we were afraid that our toilet would die at the least convenient moment! We found Steve's Plumbing on your list and placed the call. Steve answered and said that although he was on the road, he would try to get to us that very afternoon! He came exactly when he promised and said that if he couldn't fix the problem by the time we had to leave, ( we had an appointment ), he would return the next morning to fix it. He went right to work and fixed the trouble within an hour. He also checked other parts to make sure we wouldn't have complications. He was very thorough, professional, personable and believed in "fixing things right" without taking advantage of the customer. We've dealt with plumbers in the past who have fixed our problem, only to have the same problem reappear within a week, and then be unable to get a call back from that plumber. We know we were very fortunate to have a plumber show up on the day you call him, but the planets alligned for us that day and we couldn't be happier! We would definitely recommend Steve's Plumbing and will certainly call him again for our plumbing needs!
Description of Work: Our only toilet in the house was filling very slowly and making loud noises.

He was prompt with his call back, quote, and installation. The job went quicker than I thought it would but just as he said it would. I feel his price and the system he recommended we install were high quality and energy efficient. He is very knowledgeable and talked me out of some costly changes that would have made him money but been silly for me to actually do. He and his worker were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. I know have a toasty care free system and would not hesitate to use him again and will be doing so for another project in the near future. THANKS STEVE!
Description of Work: We needed to convert from oil to natural gas heat, move the location of our heating system and correct a problem with our dishwasher & disposal installation (they did not do the original).

Steve showed up on a Saturday for the estimate, which took ten minutes. He's very knowledgable and knew exactly what was needed. A few days later, his crew showed up, removed the pipe, placed a new pipe, cleaned up the mess, and departed.

Steve came and fixed the problems and made two return visits to insure the problems were fixed properly.
Description of Work: I had three problems. 1. Bathroom sink was very slow in draining. Steve took of the problem the first try. 2. A set tub in the cellar, used as an overflow for washing machine when it was discharging water, leaked sometimes. Steve saw the problem and corrected the problem. 3 Toilet would run intermittenly after flushing. It was a difficult problem that caused multiple fixes to get it fixed. Problem is solved.

Everything went great! I originally contacted Steve in regards to a toilet leaking from the wax seal. Steve's employee (Aaron) fixed the leak and properly diagnosed the root cause of the problem. A tile floor had been installed and the toilet flange was never raised to the proper height. Steve contacted me, explained the problem, and we scheduled the proper repair. The toilet flange was raised to the correct height and the toilet was reinstalled. Since then I have contacted Steve several times. All calls have been returned in the same day. Steve has always given me excellent advice; I highly recommend Steve's Plumbing and Heating

I think this is Steve's third visit here. He always returns his calls promptly, makes an appointment, and keeps it. He's always cheerful & thoroughly professional. This was just a small job, but I know from experience that another firm might have made it a good deal bigger. Steve repaired all three taps very quickly. And next time I need a plumber--and there will be a next time--Steve is the man I'll call.
Description of Work: Today Steve serviced all our outside faucets. They were all leaking, & I though one would need to be replaced.

He told me that problem was one part or another other part. He suggestion to replace the cheaper part, and I agreed. However I discovered the furnace was still not working properly. I called him back and he replaced the other part, and charged me for a full service call. The 2nd visit should have not had a service charge because it was a follow to the original call. While he was making the bill, he bragged about how his kids went to expensive colleges.

Response from Steve's Plumbing & Heating LLC
It is my intention not oversell or change more parts than I feel necessary. Many of my competitors "flat rate" their jobs which often includes replacing more than the cause of the problem. It was my interest in serving you (my customer) with the best value I could provide. Sorry about the second service call there was a 50/50 chance of not having to return. There is not enough "fat" in the rates I charge to waive the second call. Sincerely, Steve Smrecek / Steve's Plumbing & Heating

One of the only ones on the list that called me back promptly and scheduled a time to come out. Mr. Rooter's estimate was 900.00. I paid 2/3 less with Steve's company. He was fast, efficient and professional. I will use him any of my plumbing needs in the future. I could not be more happy.
Description of Work: Put in a new sink, faucet and all the hardware. Replaced piping underneath the sink that was old and put in a garbage disposal as well. Outside, put in a new faucet to the hose that had been leaking.
