Called to set up an appointment, was told that they would call me the next morning between 730 and 830 to set up an appointment to look at two running toilets and a leaky water hearer.-I had to make an appointment to set up an appointment??? Seriously? After I missed the first call and called back, I was lectured about answering the phone on the service date or risk losing my appointment. That's the whole point of an appointment- you show up to do the work at that date and time.. When the plumbers showed up, they were polite. However, they replaced the water heater with out asking me or even telling me what was wrong. That is very unprofessional. If I require an appliance replaced in my home, I want to pick out the appliance and an explanation as to why it needs to be replaced and an estimate before hand. Not be told that a replacement was done when I am handed the bill. I received a more in depth explanation as to what wrong with the toilet than the major replacement.
Description of Work: Fixed running toliets, replaced water heater.

They scheduled me quickly because the leak was a serioius problem. They came when promised. The repair itself was very easy; getting to it was difficult. The solved the problems faced easily, however, getting through the concrete without damaging cabinets and wall was not easy. They did a good job, cleaned up well, and their bill was substantially lower than the insurance estimate. I already have them scheduled for additional work which we discussed when they were here.
Description of Work: Repaired drain leak below concrete slab floor.

Beyond this project, Marcum has done a variety of bathroom renovations for us at our own house and other rental properties. Again, enormously responsive to our initial request, pricing follow-up, schedule availability, etc. They've done great work for us over the years and their staff is always very accommodating and professional.
Description of Work: Marcum Plumbing has done a variety of work for us over the past few years. Our latest experience was just a simple hot water heater replacement at one of our rental properties but within an hour of my renter's call to me, I had a return phone call from Marcum's office and they had someone out there that day to clarify the problem and get it replaced. My tenant was back in hot water that night and I was enormously appreciative of Marcum's responsiveness.

Service was fine but bill was $200 more than it should have been based on the hours they were at my house.
Description of Work: Very responsive and detailed. However, they did not list specifics on the bill and charged me more than what I think I should have paid based on estimate.

I have the utmost faith in Marcum Plumbing and will continue to use them. I have no dos and don'ts.
Description of Work: This was the third or fourth time that we have used Marcum Plumbing. It was a minor adjustment to our water heater and we were charged for the service call. The first time we used them was as a subcontractor when we renovated a bathroom. The contractor made a smart choice when he chose them. Another time, our basement flooded and my husband was out of town. Marcum arrived very soon after my call and repaired the faulty equipment and gave me the name of someone who could do clean up. Marcum is our go to plumber.

Very well. Company sent a repair person within 24 hrs. Came back quickly when they found they would have to pull up the well pipe. They did the work quickly and neatly and came back immediately when I called with a problem later. The problem was not their fault but it was fixed immediately too at no additional cost.
Description of Work: We had very poor water pressure. Sam found leak in main well pipe. Fixed leak and replaced pump as they had already had to pull it out and it had reached its life expectancy.
