They assessed the situation and then gave me a cost estimate for each job before beginning any work. It was no problem to fix the leaky faucet, even though I did not mention it was I called for the appointment. They were very professional and thorough. They were very friendly and nice to deal with from beginning to end.

The shower was leaking a lot so he came to the house and got the leak stopped but had to order special parts for the retrofit to fix it correctly because the current equipment was actually installed upside down with no shut off values and not up to code. While he was there I also asked him if when he returned with the parts, could he fix a running toilet and a couple of copper pipes that were corroded. He said he could do that with no problem. He came back very timely and we set an appointment ahead of time to my convenience and he arrived at the agreed upon time. The shower retrofit was a great deal of work but it was a great installation job. For the replacement of the copper pipes he actually did further than I had requested because the value was not in very good shape so he went back past that value and replaced that too with no additional cost so that it was done correctly. He didn't cut any corners. He also replaced the value and flapper in the toilet but had to order a special handle directly from Kohler because it was broken but he had all the parts and completed all the work during his almost 3 hour repair. I will definately use him again for all my plumbing repairs. I was very happy with the service and pricing.
Description of Work: Retrofit of shower handles and shower head, replaced insides of toilet and replaced some copper pipes and values.

Expected it to be an all day job, but they were done by 2:30. Everything is cleaned up and organized. And i've been promised plenty of hot water without fluctuation or a soda ash taste. Hopefully we won't have any other plumbing needs for awhile. But if we do, we will be calling Cobra again. And I never give an A on price; just hate to spend the money. But I did call some other A graded plumbing services to get estimates over the phone. Ernie's price was spot on. And several of the plumbers do not do well systems, i.e. neutralizer and softener. So Cobra was easy since they could do it all.
Description of Work: My water heaters were 15 years old and not working well. For the past several months, we've been having to hit the reset button. And the temperature kept fluctuating. Then last week, one of the heaters started pouring water out onto the floor (at midnight). I shut the water off and sent Cobra a text message. He came out first thing in the morning and replaced the thermostat (not working caused pressure to build up and the pressure relief valve discharged the water onto the floor). But he warned me that my heaters were almost 15 years old and way past their life expectancy.We had been having trouble with our chemical feed system (we have a well) for several months. It was 19 years old and just not working correctly. We had been talking about what to replace it with. Ernie advised cleaner, easier more efficient systems and tested our water to give us what was needed. So now we discussed replacing everything at once (2 hot water heaters and replacing chemical feed with neutralizer and water softener). Cheaper to do it all at once.

Will continue to use Cobra. I do not like the pricing for any services, be it plumber, electrician or handyman,. But Cobra's prices seem to be the same as other plumbers. His response time is excellent. He is also aware that customers spend a great deal of money on home repairs and tries to be fair.
Description of Work: Just needed to comment on the one bad review Cobra received. The customer was unhappy bcs. they called to get estimates from Mr. Taylor while he was on vacation. They thought he was rude and unprofessional. It would be hard to give accurate estimates when you are not in your office. I also called him during this time period of his vacation. I felt bad that I had interrupted his vacation, but he still took the time to give me instructions on how to reset my water heater. I also noticed that the reviewer used 4 different plumbing service in the past year. So someone's supposed to drop everything and give them estimates when they show no loyalty to the service provider?

I found Cobra on Angie's List. The reviews were great. I liked what I read and gave him a call. He was responsive by phone and by email (which I love!). I provided a list of items that I wanted him to look at for repair / replacement / estimate. He did just that. He did not charge for coming to the house. He charged for parts and his service. He did a clean job, was professional and eager to offer suggestions (NO sales pitches at all). He did replace a garbage disposal and fixed a toilet. I really liked that he provided great suggestions for my tub fixtures. I will absolutely use him again.
Description of Work: I had Ernie (Cobra Plumbing) replace my kitchen garbage disposal and he fixed a toilet which kept "running" and I could not fix. I also had him offer suggestions as to what can be done to replace the tub fixtures (faucet and showerhead) and the associated costs.

Cobra plumbing sevices arrived on time the day after Sandy swept through MD. The job was a simple one, and they were in and out in about an hour. While there they also pointed out that I needed to add calcite to my system and showed me how to do this. I will definately use Cobra plumbing services for future plumbing needs.

The job went much better than I thought it would. Ernie responded to my non-urgent inquiry for service within a few hours (no pipe leaking when I inquired). He looked at the job, gave me a prompt, fair estimate within one day, scheduled the work within three days, and completed all work within three hours. He did a terrific job, and I couldn't be more pleased over a job that I had dreaded and kept putting off. He made it quick, easy, afforable, and of high quality.
Description of Work: My house had exterior polybutylene pipe that needs to be replaced. Ernie from Cobra Plumbing excavated and replaced the main water service from inside my basement wall out to the county meter with 3/4-inch K copper. He sealed the inside wall where the pipe enters the basement and brought the house up to code with a new 3/4-inch duel check, 3/4-inch pressure relief valve, expansion tank, and two ball valves. He backfilled the hole made outdoors and swept away dirt that ended up on my driveway.

We were very impressed with Cobra Plumbing. The estimate to replace a ruptured water line at our home was extremely reasonable, the work was done professionally and performed in a very timely manner. The owner included some additional services at no cost to us to ensure the job was completed properly. The Cobra team was extremely professional and very easy to work with. We plan on using their services for additonal jobs needed around the house and we highly recommend them to others. If we could give them an A+ rating we would.

I am a returning customer who was willing to give this vendor another job to replace/install my water heater. He did a nice job when I needed my water line replaced, so I was very surprised to hear such a rude response when I didn't know what material the ventilation pipe was for the existing water heater, and he was not willing to go over the options on what type of water heater he installs. Apparently, he did not want to be bothered on his vacation--he hung up on me. Never again will I call this vendor. Customer Note: Vendor's response is not accurate. He did indeed hang up on me, and of course I know I have a gas heater, I just did not know what material the outflow pipe was (PVC or aluminum). I was not seeking an exact price--just wanted to know what options he had available in terms of products--this is a very reasonable request! Hint to Ernie: don't blame your customers, especially when they want to give you work. If you cannot talk or are in the middle of something else, please just let them know you can call them back. I know this review is an exception to the other glowing reports, so I will chalk this up to a bad day (and so should others).

Response from Cobra Plumbing Services
Member I am sorry you feel this way. I was not rude nor did I hang up on you. You were upset because in your words "I was not much help to you". It's hard to quote an exact price on your water heater replacement when you did not know what kind of heater you had. I did explain the price differences between a power vent and standard vent natural gas heater. I do not know how much more information you were looking for. I apologize if we were not on the same page. Ernie Taylor Cobra Plumbing Services

He did a great job for us! He scheduled to come but unfortunately he had a tire blow out on him in which he immediately called us about. I can definitely appreciate the fact that he communicated well. When he did get here he was quick to diagnose the problem and even went with us to pick out a new faucet. Considering how hard he had to work to get the old faucet out I was impressed with how he was able to do it without damaging anything else. He has a nice truck with a lot of good equipment as well.
Description of Work: They were there to repair a sink faucet. It was so bad that he had to rip the thing out and we needed to replace it.
