W H Winegar & Son Plumbing and Heating

Plumber arrived on time, was careful about masking and kept the work area clean. He fully explained the problem and described the new model he was installing. 11/21 Update: the sink is leaking again. Is it the disposal again or something else? Will call them back and see what happens.

After hiring Winegar approximately five times in the past to do basic plumbing projects, such as replacement of a toilet, garbage disposal, kitchen faucet and a basement water cut-off valve, we called them for an estimate on a larger job involving connecting a home to city water and sewer. A month has passed, and no estimate has been received, despite several attempts to contact them. Despite our satisfaction with the previous work, we now question whether we would hire them again, due to this lack of response. As a long-time home owner, I have no problem with a business that does not want to render a particular service; just tell me that upfront rather than slowing down my planning process by not responding. Bottom line: If you have a basic, garden-variety plumbing job, Winegar is fine, but think twice about hiring them for something more complicated. If I were rating them on previous work, I would give them five stars.

The plumber was able to make the repairs despite constricted space. All good quality.

It took 2 days for WH to response to my quote request via Angie’s List but after that it was smooth sailing. The tech arrived on time and was very knowledgeable, the sump pump busted pipe repair turned out to be more extensive than expected but was handled within the estimated timeframe & cost. The toilet repair was easy and fixed very quickly. Would hire again!!

W. H. Winegar provided prompt and professional service at fair price when my water heater broke in 2018 and when my sump pump was malfunctioning in 2020. I highly recommend this company.

Did everything listed in the contract promptly.

They did an excellent job and did the work very quickly. I would definitely hire them again and I would highly recommend them as well.

Marcus rocks! Arrived on time, was courteous, mask work and ooh so knowledgeable and friendly. Finished within 40 minutes or so. Replaced dishwasher valve, repaired leaking trap, reinstalled new garbage disposal. Tested all items. Good, tight, no leaks = happy family AND, affordable. Would we hire this company again? Heck yeah, that's a now brainer.

Excellent job!! Answered my request on a weekend!! Came early Monday and fixed the leak!

The work was done the day after I called. Marcus showed up at the time promised and fixed the problem in just under an hour. The toilet was back in place, solidly attached, and freshly caulked. Everything was left clean and neat. Excellent and very professional work.

Great. On time, efficient, had all needed materials. Neat worker with appropriate COVID-19 safety gear

They're prompt and their pricing is good. They are a family owned business and I've never had any problems with their services. I've bee a client for over four years.

Fantastic all around. Showed up on time, completed job quickly but accurately. Guy that did the work was awesome and very polite. Would definitely hire this company again!

I used Winegar three times. The first time it was for a leaking shower valve that had given me continuous trouble for months and a bathroom toilet that would not stop flushing. Bernard fixed both problems during his hour-long visit for $205 plus parts. The second time was for a new bathroom faucet that needed to be properly installed. Bernard replaced some parts and also replaced the hot-side shut off valve, charging for 30 minutes ($123) plus parts. The third time I called was for a more serious problem: I could hear water running even when the house valve was turned off. WSSC decided the leak was on my property, so they were not responsible for fixing it, even though they warned they would cut off the water if it were not repaired within 30 days. Winegar's Jim Swingle came out two days later with a "skinny" colleague who worked his way through the cramped crawl space under the house to where the water pipe came up from the ground below the house shut-off valve. He quickly saw a half-inch hole in the pipe, probably made by an animal that had also torn off the pipe's insulation. The section of damaged pipe was promptly replaced and the problem was solved for a total of $425.

It's been a mixed experience. We have had two excellent installations (new toilets), but we also had two repairs that didn't go as well as expected. In both cases, a more thorough job was needed. The costs were very reasonable.

Great experience. I called on a Wednesday before a holiday weekend and they were able to squeeze me in before the weekend. The technician explained everything to me and did a great job with the installation and the final cost was less than the original estimate.

Terry and his team are fantastic and very professional. We had a complex heating issue which they were immediately able to diagnose. His team showed up on time and kept us in the loop throughout. Terry even followed up the next day to make sure everything was okay. I would hire them again.

The gentleman came in and did a good job and he was on time. He was knowledgeable and professional. We would hire them again.

Excellent. Bernard cleared blockage (about 14' from sink), snaked remaining drain and replaced leaking trap assembly under sink.

Winegar completed more work for less money than I was quoted by a competitor, in fact, $2,000 LESS. The plumbers cut out a badly rusted faucet and installed my replacement. They replaced sections of copper pipe that had pinholes. It did take 3 trips to resolve these issues, but they were complicated. My only real downside is I still have a slight leak in a drainpipe that I do not think was there before. The plumber said that was due to a poor original installation by a plumber from years ago. Overall, I feel I got a good price for 3 complicated repairs.

Phoned prior to timely arrival. Abundant patience for many plumbing issues related to 1/2 inch old pipe needing to connect to 3/4 inch pipe; as well as total replacement of toilet flange because tiler left flange too low in tiled floor—very tedious and time consuming task yet took time to redo the most important part of a toilet. Plumber personally made a larger new wax seal to fit over larger raised flange for greater protection against any potential future leaking. Also offered to fix another small plumbing issue in separate bathroom that took little to no time to fix but was not part of the original task. Appreciated patience and ability to solve complicated problems.

The plumber came on time. He was nice and professional. In the sink, he put in a new pop-up stopper, and he fixed the problem. The price we paid was reasonable.

Jim and Johnny were very friendly, professional, and transparent in their work, notifying me of their progress multiple times during the job. After they finished, they meticulously cleaned their work space and even went so far as to pick up small bits of drywall that I could have easily gotten with a vacuum. Overall it was a solid transaction.

The work done was fantastic! The repair person was on time, courteous, knowledgable and professional. It was quite a bit of work and it was all done expertly. I am very happy and will use them again and recommend them.

Mr. Winegar gave me good advice on how to proceed without incurring great expense
