I got a response from my initial inquiry for a quote almost immediately and was able to set-up an appointment time quickly (and it was an actual appointment time, not a window of time!!!). They arrived right on time and got right to work. Very thoughtful install and routing of plumbing to make sure it was secure and out of the way. Quick and thorough work and they do the small touches that stand out like zip ties on the existing sump power cord to keep everything neat and tidy after they were done. Very pleased and impressed.

I called and left a message on the company's voicemail. Ernie called me back a day later and apologized for not getting back to me sooner, he was on vacation. He asked about the problem and then said that he could be here the following afternoon. He was on time (early actually) and very friendly and helpful. He looked at the toilet, suggested replacing the supply line and the mechanisms in the tank and gave me a price before he started the work. I asked him if he would take a look at and give me an estimate to change some pipes in the basement and he took a look and gave me the estimate right then. I was very impressed and happy with the service that he gave, he was very nice and very professional.

I had a serious leak in my water intake line where it enters the basement. I phoned my first choice from A/L; they could not fit me in today. I phoned Cobra next seeing all their good ratings. I got voicemail and requested a call back, which I never got. Fine if all booked up today but I expected a call back at least. Finally made contact with a third plumber on A/L and had a successful repair done within hours. I did not use Cobra nor did they give themselves a chance at the job since they neither answered their phone or returned my voicemail. Their loss.

We had a leaking pipe. I asked the repairman if he could check our non functioning sump pump, while he was here. He had a new pump in his truck, so he replaced it!. We have had service from this company, with the same repairman. Their prices and.advice have always been everything on the checked boxes. They are also very courteous and friendly. We always recommend this company when asked. We will use their service in the future.

I found this plumber on AL and decided to call due to the A rating and the high satisfaction. Unfortunately they said they do Not provide service to the Owings Mills Area. I wish I new this before I called. Unfortunate for me and them, because they are missing out on business. Just wanted to let other customers in the Owings Mills area know before they call.

I was very impressed with Cobra! My back sprinkler unexpectedly leaked when I turned it on for the first time. I got on Angies List and Cobra had a lot of good reviews so I gave them a call and another company. Ernie (the owner and operator) returned my call right away. I never heard back from the other company. He was able to come out to my home Monday afternoon. He arrived on time and got right to work. He was upfront with me and explained to me what needed to be done and what work is covered as well as provided me with a price before he went to fix each of my issues. He had to cut into my drywall to fix my sprinkler pipe and he showed me where the damage was and explained it along with how to prevent future issues. He also expressed his concern that the drywall was wet from my leak, and that I may need to file a claim to get the damages replaced. I also had some other issues for him to look at and he got right to it. He replaced a pipe that was corroded and causing damage to the hot water heater. I also had an annoying leak in my upstairs shower which he fixed right away. He cleaned up after himself and did not leave a mess. All in all Ernie was great. I thought he charged a reasonable price and he also gave me a discount for being an AL member! He was in and out in 2 hours and fixed 3 of plumbing issues. He had all the parts he needed to do the job. Friendly and personable. I would highly recommend him again and I plan on using him for any future plumbing issues that I may run into. Thank you!
Description of Work: Replaced a pipe connected to my back hose, cut the dry wall and insulated the new pipe. Replaced the corroded copper pipe on top my water heater which was causing damage, and replaced the cartridge in my upstairs shower.

I thought he was expensive. I found him on Angie's List. I would say the experience was good. We got the toilet that I had heard about online. The had advertized it. It has been very good for us, we got the higher toilet seat, and it flushes within 4-5 seconds. My wife wasn't happy with the area around the bottom of the toilet where it is sealed, because there was dirt there, and we thought that he didn't clean it enough. He was very efficient in doing the work fine. The only thing that I didn't like was the price. The communication with the office was good. They explained the different types of toilets and all. He came out on time. I liked them, and I liked the toilet, and the way they installed it. I would use them again, but I would check the price.
Description of Work: I used Cobra Plumbing Services. He replaced two toilets.

Description of Work: I called and spoke to Ernie and told him that I thought I had something leaking in my bathroom. He scheduled an appointment for me. Today, he was running a little late for the scheduled appointment time, however he promptly called and informed me of this. He looked at my bathroom, and said that what I really needed was to have my tub and floor tiles regrouted. He told me I should pursue this avenue before he goes opening up my ceiling. He also said that if there would have been a leak, that water would be coming out of my ceiling. He was very friendly, informative and professional. He did not even charge me for his service call. When I have future plumbing problems, I most assuredly will be calling Ernie because I know that he is an honest man, who will not rip me off.

They are very good to work with. The technician was very clear on what they would cover and they were professional. They finished the job in a timely manner. Scheduling went well and he stuck through the job even through the rain. He said if anything happens in the future, he would come out and fix it and he followed up well after the job was done also. He answered all my questions well and was very patient and he did a wonderful job. He also gave me a discount for being an Angie’s List.
Description of Work: They repaired our main sewer line due to a tree root growing inside it.

yesterday. He also discovered that the upstairs sink drains to the same place, so although he fixed the sink for now, snaking deeper later should solve both problems. Although he spent some time snaking the tub and discovering the cause, he did not charge me anything for the bathtub time, which was really appreciated. He did need to replace the pipes underneath the sink, because they were leaking and old; he drained the sink and replaced the pipes with PVC piping, which should last longer than my old metal pipes for $225 which I thought was very reasonable. He then proceeded to the downstairs sink, adjusted a few wrong turns in the pipe, stopped the leaking, and didn't charge me for it. He also advised me, when I asked him about an old downstairs tub faucet that leaked a tiny bit when turned on, to leave it alone unless it becomes a real problem. He said in old original plumbing like mine, you can make it worse and cause a much bigger problem -- good advice and a testimony to his looking out for the customer instead trying to create more business at the customer's expense. I am going to have Ernie return and fix the bathtub problem once and for all by opening a wall in the kitchen and snaking from there. He says this should do the trick, and he quoted me $500 for the job. This should occur in about a month, and I will report back about it, but I expect him to live up to his word, as he seems sincere and trustworthy. I really get the impression that Ernie takes pride in his craft, which is rare and uplifting to see. He is also extremely professional and pleasant. He seems to care about growing his business through good work, fairness in price, and a real interest in the trade. I'm almost afraid to say it, but I think I may have actually found a great plumber. Will post again after other job. If that goes well, this guy is a gem.
Description of Work: I had a few plumbing problems to address: both my upstairs bathroom tub and sink were backed up and not draining; the upstairs sink pipes were also leaking a bit; and the downstairs bathroom sink was leaking in the pipes, despite the fact that I tried to fix it with a replacement kit. Ernie came out to look at everything. He snaked the upstairs bathtub 35 feet, and found that the problem was actually deeper. He is going to come back to fix this in a few weeks, as I didn't want the hole in my kitchen wall

this was a "big deal" purchase for a new sump pump. I chose to have this job done professionally since my sump pump in located in a sump with a cover bolted over it, with about a half dozen PVC pipes running into it, with most of them also bolted to the cover. So removing the cover to access the pump is a difficult process, since it requires cutting some of the existing PVC pipes in order to get the cover off. Everything seems to have gone very well--the cover and associated pipes were removed and correctly replaced, and it looks the same as it did before the work was done. We haven't had much rain since the replacement, but it tested fine immediately following the replacement.

It went very well. The crew was very professional and done fairly quickly. I was told the job would take 1/2 to possibly 3/4s of a day but much to my surprise the work was completed in about 3 hours. We have not had any problems with the repair and would use this provider again for any plumbing needs. Also, Ernie took the time to point out another potential issue we had with our boiler, unfortunately he does not work on boilers, but it was very kind of him to bring the problem to my attention so that it can be repaired.

Ernie was responsive and courteous and was able to schedule us quickly, which was really appreciated as we were anxious to have our kitchen sink in working order. The job was done quickly and he seemed to be mindful of the somewhat limited space we were working with below the sink in how he placed the new pipe. There was a minor leak in the pipe that was discovered after Ernie left. When we called and told him about it he was happy to return and fix it; we also asked if he could hook up the ice dispenser line to the freezer that our inept contractor had previously severed. Ernie quickly came to do these jobs and did not charge anything for this extra work. We talked to him about some potential future projects and will be contacting him again when we're ready to move forward with them.
Description of Work: We recently installed a new sink that no longer fit with the existing (large) lead pipe. Ernie replaced part of the old pipe with PVC and hooked up the sink and previously purchased disposal. He also hooked up a severed ice dispenser line.
