The plumber worked carefully and professionally to make the necessary repairs to the bathroom sink and toilet. For the outdoor faucet, he had to go purchase the parts and then replaced the faucet and the pipe feeding it. I was very pleased with the work he performed. He was also careful to wear covers on his shoes so he wouldn't track inside.
Description of Work: Replace outdoor faucet; repaired a leaking toilet; repaired a loose sink faucet.

They were good. They came in when they said that they would. They fixed the problem and it was reasonably priced. It was not a lot. I paid more than $100 but less than $150. I would definitely use them again.

The appointment was between 3 and 5. He was late and never called. I had to call the company to inquire why the plumber did not show and did not call. I was given the excuse that they were shorthanded and he was running late. When I asked for the appointment, I had asked for the last appointment of the day because I was getting granite countertops installed and wanted to make sure the installation was complete by the time the plumber arrived. I was told they could not give me an appointment after 4 PM. However, their plumber did not arrive to my home until 6:30. I told the person at Alexander that I had asked for a late appointment but she would not give me one. The installation of the countertops were completed by Noon and I could have run some errands instead sitting home waiting for a plumber who did not come at his appointed time and did not have the courtesy to call. The following day, I spoke with Mr. Alexander and explained my displeasure and disappointment. He apologized and gave me the same speech that they were shorthanded and he was running behind schedule. Regarding the used pipe, he assured me that they did not and could not use used piping. He said he would send someone to clean the pipe which he never did. I would never use this company again for anything and would not recommend them to anyone else. Incidentally, when the granite countertop installer came back to finish up a few minor touches, I showed him the pipe. He said he could not believe what the plumber had done. first of all the pipe was used and secondly, he made some connections that were totally unnecessary. The installer deliberately cut and patched piping to run the time out. He told me that the coupon I had was for, I believe he said 2 hours but he made sure it was 2.5 hours. I had to pay an additional $75 in addition to the coupon. For some reason now when I wash dishes manually, the suds and water backs up into the opposite sink when I am emptying the other sink. Terrible company, shoddy work.
Description of Work: The provider had to r4econnect my waterlines for the sink and dishwasher. He used old dirty used pcv white pipe. I watched him cut and patch pieces together. I inquired why he was using used piping and he said that it was dirty because it had been on his truck rolling around. Absolutely not true. I even took pictures of the pipe.

Mr. Alexander was a pleasure to work with. He conducted a site visit to better understand the work we wanted performed. His employee did the actual work the following week, and did a high quality job, although he did arrive nearly 2 hours late and had to leave during the day to obtain additional materials. I am confident the plumbing work performed will last the life of the house. In fact, Alexander's inclination to identify "elegant" or intelligent solutions was very much appreciated, and I wish his firm had been involved in the original house construction. Upon receipt of billing Mr. Alexander was willing to reconsider a few aspects and graciously provided a second invoice that was more mutually agreeable. His firm will keep my future business.
Description of Work: installed branch gas line to support bbq grill on patio; installed whole-house water filtration and softener system (purchased separately); reconfigured plumbing lines in basement to put 3 hose bibs on unfiltered water and using a single shut-off.

Went extremely well. My dad was able to meet them at the house and was very impressed with their work ethic and professionalism. I bought the coupon and it was accepted with no problem so actual payment was less then the $508. They came out the very next morning from when I called and cleaned up so well I couldn't even tell they had been there, except for no leaks :). The person who answered the phone was very helpful and friendly. I am new to Delaware and have definitely found my new plumber.
Description of Work: Fixed several leaks inside and out. Bought a house that had been empty for a while, once I started using the water, dishwasher, etc, all kinds of leaks sprung up. They fixed leaks under kitchen sink, bathroom sinks and outdoor spigots. Replaced a kitchen faucet and a part in another bathroom sink.

in Overall the experience and job was good!
Description of Work: They are good at what they do. Had them put in my faucet and stop leak in tub, but later the piece that came with faucet broke so Troy came back out and said it was the piece that came with the faucet. He also had to come back out again for the tub. He did not put in the piece that stopped the leak. He replaced the plastic with a much sturdier one and it cost me 120.00 for two plastic parts, but I wish had known that they were cheap when they put them in. They also fixed the tub on the second trip out.

Ben was prompt. He quickly came over and identified that the problem was that the replacement parts used were not appropriate for the job. He ran out to get the parts and quickly made the repair. He seemed comfortable with our pets and 3-year-old son hanging around and interacted well with them (very important to me). Everything seemed fine. He also took some pictures to try and identify some more unique parts for our particular set-up that my landlord has been trying to replace since well before we occupied the property. He is going to look into obtaining them and made a couple other recommendations. The job was done first thing in the morning. Later in the afternoon my son opened the cabinet under the sink to find a small puddle from a remaining small, slow leak that was not apparent when he tested the pipes before he left. I called and got the office voice mail but received a call back in about 2 minutes saying that he could be to my place in 30 minutes ... sure enough he was there and fixed the problem in a couple minutes. Very happy with the service.
Description of Work: Our landlord had "fixed" a small leak in our main bathroom. Once he left we realized that we now had flood conditions on our hands if we turned on the faucet. He was going out of town and ok'd us calling a plumber.

I had a pipe break on my hot water heater with a loud boom and it was spraying water all over my utility room. When I went downstairs I smelled gas so thought it was a gas leak. Turned off the gas to the hot water heater but couldn't turn the water off. Leaver on too tight. I called the gas company and they came out turned off the water for me and checked the gas lines. Said I need a plumber and recommended Alexander Plumbing to me. I called and left a message with my problem. They were short handed due to illness and the owner was on a call over a hour away and he came at 4:50. His wife fields the calls and she kept me updated on his location and time. When he came he put booties on and accessed my problem. He replaced the two pipes going into the hot water heater from the main line. Relit the pilet light and told us to wait about 1.5 hours for the glue to dry on the PVC pipe he used. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. Explained everything to my husband and myself. Everything went so smoothly and he is reasonably priced. Will definitely use again and will recommend him to my neighbors.
Description of Work: Mark Alexander came in and accessed the problem and went back to hit truck for tools and pipe. Went to Ace Hardware store up the street for new pipe glue because it was so cold what he had in his truck was solidifying. He removed the cracked copper accorden pipe and the other one too. Replaced it with PVC pipe and elbows. Relit the pilet light and told us to wait 1.5 hours for the glue to dry before we turned on the water to the heater. He cleaned up his tools and such and took them to his truck and get a invoice to write up the bill. All in a total of about 1.5 hours. Gave us his card and shook both our hands and left.

We scheduled to make an appointment so I took the day off work and that day they called me and said they would need to reschedule, but I said that was not acceptable because I had already taken the day off to get this done, so they called me back about 20 minutes later and said they would be there in 30 minutes. When they finally showed up a little more than an hour and a half later, I was actually on the phone with Angie's List to cancel the Deal. The plumber looked around for a few minutes and told me that my toilet needed replaced and told me to pick up the toilet and they would install it. He also looked around the plumbing system and took some samples and made some recommendations. I also asked him about my garbage disposal as I wanted it replaced, but he didn't seem interested in doing that part of the job. He then gave me an estimate for all the costs and I told him about the Angie's List coupon I had and he didn't seem to know what it was. He talked with is boss and made sure the coupon was applicable, which is was. He took the coupon with him and I never heard from him again. They were supposed to be here today, but they never showed up and never called. The bottom line is that I didn't feel that the company found my time valuable.

They always kept in communication with me. If they couldn't be here at 9:00 to start they called to let me know when and why. They finished in a few days. They came back to smooth up the walls and make sure I was satisfied.
Description of Work: Removed old tub and replaced with new one. worked well with me even though I wanted to pick out my own tub from internet. Also, I am doing my own tile work. They didn't mind or act like I was foolish for taking on such a project. The finish man was especially helpful and accurate. I would use there services again or even call for help with this project if I run into difficulty.

Our home was built in 1880 so we have had a lot of experience with home repairs. We noticed our new wood floor in our kitchen was damp. When we checked under the crawl space we noticed water was running out on the ground. The crawl space is very small under that part of the house and my husband is no longer able to maneuver under there. We found Alexander's Plumbing on Angie's List and gave them a call. They responded right away and had a plumber there in two hours. Troy was able to fix the leak within an hour. He was polite and professional. They even honored the discount for services that was offered on the web. We will be sure to call them again if needed.

Called the office and was able to get an appointment to meet my schedule. Had to make a last minute change in the time and they were able to accommodate my new time. As promised, the office called when the technician, Ben, was on his way. He arrived promptly and put on some protective booties before he entered the house. Ben was polite and professional as he listened to my description of the problem, and then he immediately went to work. Initially he we could not duplicate the problem and I wondered if this would be a wasted effort. After some more troubleshooting and analysis, he duplicated the leak and quickly analyzed the problem. He explained what he planned to do before taking any action and took time to answer all my questions. The actual repair was completed in about an hour and Ben showed me the repaired area. He performed a final leak check and gave me some suggestions on another job I was considering. The entire process from start to finish was performed in an outstanding manner. I'd call these people again and recommend them to my friends and coworkers.

I called this morning with an emergency (toilet leak) after reading good reviews of Alexander Plumbing here on Angie's List and seeing also that this company was located very close to my home. The owner answered the phone and was professional and kind. He told me he had a pllumber in my neighborhood, would call to find out how quickly he could come, and would call back. The owner called back 5 minutes later to tell me the plumber would be at my house in 15 minutes! The plumber arrived within 15 minutes and was very polite, dressed in a business shirt identifying the company, and he covered his shoes before coming in. What we thought was a simple job--a wax ring that needed replacing--turned out to be much worse: the porcelain was cracked and the toilet needed to be replaced. The plumber offered to install the toilet for us today or tomorrow, and he could go pick up a toilet for us or we could pick it up and he could come back. We chose to have him pick up the toilet for us and then install, which he did after confirming with the company that this work could fit into the day's schedule. All of the work was completed thoroughly and professionally. It was expensive, but considering that the plumber had to come twice in one day and fit in a shopping trip for us in between, it was to be expected. A bonus was that the plumber asked me if there was anything else I needed him to look at in my home while he was there. I had always wondered how to open up a drain in one of my tubs and, although there was no problem, the plumber took the time to figure out how to open it and showed me. I woke up with a plumbing emergency that was completely corrected within a few hours by clean, kind, professional people, and for that I highly recommend Alexander Plumbing.
Description of Work: Examined leaking toilet and determined that it needed to be replaced; purchased and installed new toilet for us.Also examined broken shower head for us and advised that a new one had to be purchased, which we could easily take care of ourselves (and did later in the day).
