I was very impressed with Schichtel Plumbing. The plumber scheduled in a timely manner, was prompt, and did a great job. He was clean and cleaned up after himself. I already had the sink and faucet, and he brought everything he needed for a successful installation, including all the plumbing that goes under the sink. He had to cut our counter to fit the new sink. He was here about three hours. I was very pleased with the cost of his service.
Description of Work: New kitchen sink and faucet installed.

Draining the cottage was complicated by my water softener. He did not respond to the message I left for him on Angie's list a week ago. If he didn't want the work he could have just told me that instead of not responding at all.

Steve needed to use his large ladder to get into the 16ft high ceiling, to assess the situation and to discuss his findings with me. I did offer to pay whatever his fee was, but he declined payment. That was a nice surprise! He was fast, competent, knowledgeable and did not charge for his time. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone with a plumbing problem!
Description of Work: I had a leak coming through my garage ceiling. Steve was busy with other customers, but because my call was urgent, he made time for me right away. He investigated the leak and was able to determine the source and solution.

The plumber we used years ago had retired, so thanks to Angie's List, I found this one. I had tried to clean out the drain and even tried Liquid Plumber over the years. We had an acrylic tub placed over the old tub in 2004, so I thought there might be some problem with that. Fortunately, Steve cleaned out the drain and it now works as it should. Nice to take a shower without standing in inches of water. Thanks Steve and thanks to the reviewers on Angie's List!

Steve was very professional and punctual. He was able to come out to see us the same day that we called. We had had another plumber come out previously for the same issue (sewer smell in bathroom), and they had told us that they would need to tear into the wall to figure out the source of the smell if their temporary fix didn't work. When the smell came back, we decided to try Steve instead. Steve was much more confident of exactly what the problem was, and noticed a small error that the previous plumber made that was causing the smell to come back. He fixed this for us, and the smell has not returned. He was very affordable. We will definitely use Steve for future plumbing issues.
Description of Work: Investigated a smell in downstairs bathroom, re-caulked a toilet seal
