Horribly. This is my rental property and I requested that someone called me when they had assessed the situation. Not only did no one call me while they were there, I called repeatedly afterward for what was going on and no one would return my calls, even after I was assured they would call me to discuss. They were, however, very prompt in sending me a bill, which I am not going to pay. I am extremely disappointed because I used to use them all the time back in 2006-12. Really gone downhill.

The plumber arrived when promised and easily convinced me that a replacement heater was necessary. He also determined that the PVC venting had to be replaced due to recent code changes. He was apparently concerned about the extra time this would take. While his assistant left for the needed PVC, he quickly prepared the site as best he could and then nervously waited. The job was completed in approximately 2.5 hours. I suppose that I should be happy that, just before Christmas, they could schedule me and they arrived on time and I had a safe and functioning hot water system before they left and it wasn?t the highest estimate I found. The reason that I continue here is that, for a posh price, I got a mediocre result. Using several online plumbing sources, I calculated the average retail (not wholesale) prices for the material used. Subtracting this from the bill, I estimate that I paid at least $355 per hour for the work done. I say mediocre because the plumber was in a hurry. None of the new piping is ?square? (neither vertical nor horizontal. The black gas pipe in the photos is old) and I had to point out that the hi-pressure overflow pipe needed to be bent to drain into the collection pan and not onto the floor. Maybe this is normal but, if it is, the reader should now understand my ratings.
Description of Work: On 22 Dec 2016, I had no hot water and needed my 50 gal. natural gas water heater replaced before company arrived. Ken Griffin Inc. was one of several ?sight unseen? estimates I received and (notably) was available the next morning. The scheduler predicted that I?d need a new heater and said the plumber would have one with him.

Response from Ken Griffin Plumbing Services Inc
We did appreciate the opportunity to replace your water heater and would like to respond to your review in an effort to present relevant information about the work we completed. You indicated that our price was in line with other estimates you received and that you chose to work with our company because we could come out the next day to do the work. After the new heater was installed and the holidays had come and gone, you repriced the water heater and parts listed on the invoice that we provided and assumed that the difference in the material costs would all be attributed to labor costs. Unfortunately, the receipt didn't itemize ALL of the materials used-in fact it only itemized the PVC pipe and fittings that we used to replace the vent piping and bring the installation up to current plumbing codes. It also included the cost of the water heater pan. There are many other items that were included in the costs associated with the installation that would include a 50 gallon POWER VENT water heater-which is notably more expensive than a 50 gallon ATMOSPHERIC gas water heater, pipe, fittings and other plumbing materials used to install the new water heater, solder, even things like paper towels, floor protection to protect your home during the course of the job and other incidental materials. There was also the time spent picking up the new water heater and disposing of the old one as well as the services of the plumber's helper to maneuver the heaters safely into or out of your home. I';m afraid that the labor rate of $355.00 an hour is simply inaccurate and untrue. You were given a price to replace the water heater ahead of time when our dispatcher cross referenced your existing 18 year old Bradford White water heater and determined that it was a 50 gallon power vent water heater and we were able to give you a quote to install it-except for the possible need to replace the PVC vent piping if the existing PVC piping was NOT Solid Core Schedule 40 pipe. Had you called our office, I would have been happy to take the time to go over this and answer your questions. incidentally, the plumber that installed your water heater is a licensed master plumber-not a "technician" that tv plumbers employ to complete their work. He worked very efficiently as did everyone in our company because we wanted you to have a working water heater before Christmas Eve the next day. The pipes that we installed were installed properly and in a fine workmanlike manor. You signed the invoice indicating that the work was done to your satisfaction and never once contacted our office with any concerns. I respect your decision not to hire us to work for you again, and only hope that your experience with another plumbing company is half as good as the work that we produced.

We moved into a house with 3 cheap elderly toilets. After an overflow, and repairs we decided to just replace all 3 toilets. Kathy, at Ken Griffin plumbing was knowledgeable , helpful, and flexible in helping us pick 3 reliable replacement toilets. The plumbers were very good, they even had a different size toilet delivered in the middle of the job when they realized the toilet I had ordered was the wrong size for the space. These people are reliable, efficient, and great to work with. They even give an Angies discount. I highly recommend them!

They are phenomenal! He did all the plumbing for my office. We had a toilet that totally messed up. They came out and fixed it and gave us this phenomenal toilet that sits higher. Low flow flush was economical, it doesn?t use all this extra water and it?s so much easier to clean. It?s nice! They did a great job! Ken Griffin Plumbing is phenomenal! I wouldn?t use anyone else. He is probably a little bit more, but so worth it! Somebody always picks up the phone. Punctuality, they are on time when they said they are going to come. They give you a call and said I am 10 minutes away from your house or I finished a job early, can I come over 10 minutes early.

Work was completed in just under an hour; the cost for the service call was the initial hour rate; additional charges would have accrued at fifteen minute after that. If the work had take longer than that hour and other charges had accrued I would have protested because although the plumber was friendly and helpful, I feel 20 minutes was spent basically on irrelevant chit chat and conversation. But the work was outstanding in my opinion

The plumber was very thorough, checking the entire house to determine where the leak was coming from. He immediately got the tools from his truck that were needed and went to work. Everything was fixed. My only comment is that he had to cut out part of the drywall to get to it, leaving the piece of drywall for me to repair. I understand why he did it, I was just shocked when he left and I saw it. Wish he would have explained to me what was necessary first.

Eh. Ended up charging me $380 which is 2.5 hours which seems high given that it was basically two connections. Part of the time charged was for bailing out the water in the sink (you'd think a plumber would carry a pump and pump it into a trash can). The plumber they sent was kind of rude and acted like he was doing me a favor by being there. And of course it leaked. The sent a second guy who was very professional. I talked to the owner's wife about the charge and she asked me "Did you think about bailing the water out of the sink?". Umm ... no ... I figured you'd have a pump.

Great! I called around for pricing from a handful of plumbers in the area, and Ken Griffin's was definitely the most competitive. I got lucky and they were able to squeeze me in the same day, and they were able to fix both in less than an hour! They were knowledgeable, professional, and able to fix the issues in no time! I would definitely hire them again should the need arise for a plumber.

Great job. They came out less than 48 hours after calling them (not an emergency), sent an email with the tech's photo once he was en route, arrived when they said they would and completed the job for slightly less than their estimate. Very impressed.

Good and bad... Since I would not be at the property during the service call, I spoke to Kathy in the office and put a $500 limit on the service call. She agreed that if the cost would exceed $500 the plumber would call me to get approval. I was surprised when I got a call informing the work had been completed and the total was $580. After some discussion, Ken Griffin Plumbing agreed to accept $500 as payment for the services and, here's the kicker, suggested that I find a different plumber in the future. All because I expected them to do what they had said they would do. I'm disappointed and will be taking my business elsewhere.

I call Ken Griffin plumbing the next morning. Eric arrived at 2:40. He put in a cleanout valve to make it easier to snake in the future. He used a power snake to unclog the drain. He reassembled everything and tested the drain and the disposer. He was efficient and courteous. Pluses: 1. They were able to send someone the same day. Another plumber could not send anyone for several days. 2. The rate was reasonable at $140/hr plus $35/15 minutes and materials. I had another quote for a flat $285. 3. The sink is no longer clogged! 4. I received an email with the plumbers picture in advance of his arrival. I also received a phone call to let me know he was on his way. 5. Electronic payment accepted and electronic receipt sent to me.
Description of Work: The kitchen drain was clogged. I disconnected the disposal and attempted to unclog it myself with out success.
