Gary and his son Matt were terrific. I am very impressed with them. I requested they install the new hot water tank in a different position than the existing tank . They worked additional time and provided material for a nominal extra charge vs the initial quoted price to meet my request. Gary was running 10 minutes behind and he called me to say that and came in the 10 minutes as he said he would. They are cordial, experienced and I trusted their opinions, work, product and pricing. I enthusiastically recommend them. I would use them again for any other services. ws/cantonmich

My husband was able set up easily at a time that was convenient to ipus. Gary and his assistant showed up on time. Respectfully left shoes at door. Checked out the issue. Quoted a price and completed work. Works great. Don't know how price would compare as I didn't shop around on this one

Prior to this experience with Gary, I would have said he was fantastic and would have recommended him. BUT, to be told that I lived too far away and he couldn't come and help me with my "small projects" was very disheartening. And then to give me the name of a company that would have cost me 3 times as much was also disappointing! The silver lining is that I did find another great plumber in my area that will come and help me with large and small jobs!
Description of Work: I use to use Gary when I lived in Northville. He replaced my water tank and put new flush kits in 2 of my toilets. He did a good job and was fair and reasonable in pricing. So, when I moved to Farmington I thought I could still call him when I needed a plumber. Unfortunately, that is not the case. One of the toilets in my new house stopped flushing (days before I was having a party!!) so I called and left a message for Gary his answering service. He called me back in a timely manner and I explained what I thought was the problem. He at first said he would come out and look at it and that it may need to be rebuilt, but may only need a small part replaced. He asked me to take some pictures so he could see what the inside looked like and see if he could figure out via pictures which I did. He then called me back and told me that since I lived so far away that he would not be able to come and fix these small problems for me anymore. He then gave me the name of a plumbing company in my area and told me to call them. the company he gave me would have cost me 3 times what I would have paid for a smaller one man plumber so I did not use them.

I called her back a said here is a company just down the street from you. i talked the the owner and he said for her to give him a call he could get right out there. I called [member name removed] back and told her this and gave her his number and she said that was fine. I tried to help her the best i could. Because i could not get out as fast as she wanted i had other customer in the order as they called and she want me to put her in front of all the other calls. Gary

Gary was just incredible. We had been disappointed by our first two attempts to get a plumber to do this work (stood up by one, over priced by another). We saw Gary's reviews on Angie's List and hoped he would be better. And he was. He came over right on time to look at the job. Most impressive - he said he was sure he could fix the non-functioning water powered backup -- not replace it for a $1,000 like the other plumber wanted to do. I had contact info and troubleshooting sheet I got from the manufacturer. Gary tinkered with it to try and see the problem and how it was designed. Then, on his own time he talked with the owner of the WPB manufacturer. When he showed up with his son to do all the work Gary disassembled the WPB then talked with the WPB maker over the phone. It turned out it was not the WPB -- it was a $60 valve in front of it that had frozen. Gary then fixed the WPB for the cost of the valve and labor. He and his son then installed the new main sump, hot water heater, and utility sink pump. They did all of this in half a day. His final bill was less than half of what the other plumber wanted. The big difference is that Gary is a skilled master plumber who can figure things out and solve problems -- not just bolt in new hardware. And he works for himself -- you are dealing with the owner and the man who will do the actual work. Any other plumbing work I have will go to Gary. I won't waste my time with competing bids - I don't see how I can do any better than him.
Description of Work: Gary replaced an old main sump pump that was failing; fixed a water powered backup that was not working; replaced the water heater; and replaced a failing utility sink pump.

I wanted a quote to re-plumb a 3-unit building. No quote was received. Contractor is a 1-2 man father-son team. Dad looked at the job but called afterward to say he'd been given the go-ahead on another job and couldn't get to my job on my timetable. I can respect that.

Very pleased with Gary's professionalism and responsiveness. Excellent communication before the appointment to confirm when he would be there. He was right on time and both he and his son were very pleasant. They were done with the project quickly and fully cleaned up after themselves. Gary even did a little bit of extra work that I was going to have to do and did not charge me for it. He will be my 1st choice next time I need a Plumber.

Gary arrived early (which was all right) along with his son. He removed the leaky valve and inserted a much better valve whic required cutting a section from the cold water line and soldering in place a section of Y-shaped copper tubing with the valve and larger handle. He soldered the piece in place. He removed the old copper tubing that goes from the valve to the refrigerator and replaced it with plastic tubing. In the process his son moved the refrigerator forward to access the water connection in the back. The floor had not been cleaned in years and was a mess. The son cleaned the floor then attached the plastic tubing before replacing the refrigerator. When Gary was through everything was neat and in order. I was able to get cold water from door dispenser and there were no leaks.. It took about two hours without any complications or unforeseen problems. I will be hiring him for other plumbing work that I need to have done.

It's always a crap shoot when you decide to use someone based on reviews you read online, but take it from this satisfied customer that all of the reviews that you read about Gary (regardless of where you find them) are all well deserved. He is the real deal and you won't be disappointed.
Description of Work: We've used Gary multiple times now after his exceptionally good service and pricing the first time around. From burst pipes and standard leaks to toilet installs and back-up sump pump install, we haven't been disappointed.

Gary is very professional. He stopped by to look at the problem at my convenient time and gave me a quote for the leak. To fix the leak the drywall behind the toilet seat had to be opened. The initial quote was for $500. He was there at the scheduled time with his son. Both were very professional and did not have any issues to answer whatever questions I asked them. On opening the drywall, they found out that the problem was way bigger than it was quoted for. Gary showed me the problem and explained me what the problem exactly was and also that it would be more expensive to fix it. We agreed on $750. He quickly rushed out to get all the required supplies. Within some hours he was done with the job. I really appreciate that after the job was done, they both meticulously cleaned up the whole place. Since we also wanted to replace the existing toilet with a new one, he initially had quoted $150 for the job. But then later he agreed to put the new one for free. He also mentioned that since there were unexpected costs for the fix, he would install the new toilet seat for free. I would surely recommend Gary to my friends and family and also fetch him for any plumbing problem I have in the future.
Description of Work: We had a leak in the drain pipe in the bath. The pipe would leak and was evident by the water on the basement floor.

I found Garys' plumbing in Angies List; I remember Gary replacing my sump pump last year, and he did a good job. So I called Gary again, he agreed to come in next morning; Next morning he & his sone arrived as promised, diagnosed the faucet, quoted a very reasonable price for parts & labor and took care of the work nicely; he didn't charge any trip fee which most other companies would do. I would storngly refer Gary to all my friends!!

Please see the above, that tells the whole story.
Description of Work: I called to request service on May 6. It took 24 hours for Gary to return my call. I told him my sump pump would not turn off. He said, you'll have to put in a new sump pump. I have the owner's manual for that model, and it lists 3 possible remedies for this problem, one of which was replacing the float switch (NOTE: the manual did NOT indicate that sump pump failing to turn off was a reason to replace the sump pump.). He said he wouldn't replace the float switch, and that it would be difficult to find a repair person who would. So, the only service he would do is replace the sump pump, even when I told him that was NOT what I needed. I am angry beyond belief; I don't have the money to pay for unnecessary repairs.

[member name removed] called me asking if I could come out and replace his switch on his sump pump. I told him I only had 40 years experience in plumbing and not replacing electrical parts on the pumps or did I know where he could get parts. I suggested he call the pump company maybe they knew someone in the area that could fix it. He said ok and hung up. I was not aware that I upset him with my answer until I saw this review.

Each time it was a great experience. Gary was able to give a price over the phone and there were no surprises. He was very punctual and worked around our schedule. There was one minor setback which was handled promptly by Gary with complete professionalism. I would and have recommended Gary to friends and family.

Everything went great. I called Gary to have a dishwasher installed after first trying to do it myself (huge mistake). He was out the next day and it took a couple of hours. He quoted the job before starting and the price didn't change, even after some minor set backs. Gary is easy to deal with and very professional. If every contractor was like Gary, and his crew, we wouldn't need services like this.

It could not have gone any better, (with the exception of my old hot water tank living out a longer life).
Description of Work: Called Gary's Plumbing late on a Sunday night (a holiday weekend, no less!) because my hot water tank broke. This was a random choice off the internet and I'm so grateful I found them! By the next morning, I had a brand new hot water tank. Gary & his son were prompt, knowledgeable, professional, friendly and very, very fairly priced. If I had spent days researching several plumbers, I couldn't have chosen better. I highly recommend Gary's Plumbing!!
