He did exactly what we needed him to, and told me why we have had some of the plumbing problems we've experienced in our house. He did it quickly and charged us the minimum fee. He was right on time.
Description of Work: He cleaned a sink drain and fixed the knobs on the master bathroom tub, which were not aligning properly.

They were great! We discovered the leak in our utility room on Sunday morning. After finding Randy Lane's listing here, I left a voice mail detailing what we needed. I received a return call in less than an hour and said, if we could wait until Monday a.m., we'd avoid a weekend/emergency service charge. Great! We scheduled the appointment for 8 a.m. Monday, and they arrived on time! The whole repair was completed in less than an hour without a mess. Highly professional and highly recommended!
Description of Work: Replaced a leaking main water line that was original to the house (c. 1928).

Overall, he did a good job. I asked why we were having so much water damage below the toilet and he realized that the tile floor in the bathroom is crooked so the water pools below the floor, thus the extra bad damage to our ceiling below the bathroom. The other nice thing is when I called to make the appointment, the lady who answered the phone actually talked me through how to reseal the toilet myself so I wouldn't even have to hire them, however, we realized that we don't have time to do it ourselves so we ended up hiring out anyway.
Description of Work: Our toilet was leaking and causing water damage to the ceiling below, so we had Randy Lane & Sons reseal the toilet and try to figure out what was causing the water damage. Everything was great; however, the plumber asked to borrow a towel. After he left I realized he didn't leave it behind so I called him. He said it was ruined due to cleaning up the old wax ring. I told him had I known I wasn't going to get it back I would have supplied a different towel (besides, what plumbing company doesn't bring their own supplies?). He asked if I wanted a towel back and I said yes since I was charged for an hour of work and was told it would probably only take 30 minutes. Two days later he dropped off two new towels and even some industrial strength toilet cleaner. I'm still upset about not having my old towel back (it was my dog's that we had put to sleep less than six months ago) but oh well, nothing we can do about that now.

GREAT!!!! I truly do not think they charged me for the time it took to locate and get the part. The part cost represents $240 of the cost of the job.
Description of Work: The expansion tank for my gravity fed hot water system rusted through. They reassured me on the phone at 10:30 at night that I could leave my furnace on, that I could drain it out at the bottom to stop the leak and didn't need emergency repairs. They came the next day, carefully removed the woodwork hiding the tank, and called all over town to find a replacement tack that would fit in the small space the built-in woodwork allowed. They traveled, got the part, and completed the job to my great satisfaction.

They had to open walls and run copper piping (from previously piped supply lines). They finished installing following plastering and painting. They did good work, timely, and they are a pleasant company to work with. They are highly recommended.
Description of Work: They repiped the third floor bathroom with copper pipe and installed a pedestal sink, drain & faucets, a new toilet, and tub/shower faucets and drain.

Both projects were completed within a day of my initial contact with the company. Staff was pleasant, professional. The heating system in our 90-year old home is a tricky combination of old metal radiators and baseboard fin tube heat in an addition. When, what turned out to be an air bubble in the lines of one of the zones kept that area from heating, the company returned within two hours of my call to them. Toasty warm now!
Description of Work: The zone valve on one of the three heating zones in our home needed to be replaced which required draining the entire system. We also had them replace the flapper in the toilet while they were here.

Fixed everything - did very good work, but I think they should have gotten the leak the first time. There were two separate trips, should have been one, but they did give me a little bit of a discount on the second.
Description of Work: I had them come out twice, first to fix a variety of things (toilet, problem in a sink, etc.) and the second time they had to come back to fix a leak under the sink which should have been fixed the first time.

We were satisfied with the quality. Minor problems were fixed quickly. The warehouse gave us the wrong cabinet. They came back that afternoon to install it (very nice). Professionalism wasn't great. They used several of our items for their process: a garbage can (now rust stained), dogs water dish (yuck!), kids playmat (dirty). They shattered a mirror, did not offer to replace it. AFTER installing our tub he told us we overpaid (went where he recommended). Say something BEFORE installing, too late now! During install of toilet/sink, they told us the 2 were too close & wouldn't pass inspection (should ve got custom/narrow cabinet & sink). We're not plumbing code experts & relied on them for these details BEFORE buying fixtures. The inspector let it go, but it was added worry & could've been an expensive error. We found 1 run of supply line was a reused, old section. That pipe may have been fine, but we paid for new. We had to argue & he wasn't too happy about re-plumbing this stretch.
Description of Work: Replaced all water supply lines, all bathroom fixtures (1 bath), relocated old fixtures to 2nd bath, replaced 2 hose supplies/valves, replaced utility sink faucet, and properly mounted water meter. Price included bathroom fixtures.

I called on a Tuesday afternoon to schedule service, the customer service representative was friendly and very well informed. I was able to schedule time for the next day, which worked out perfectly with our schedules. Our service representative arrived early, but called beforehand to confirm the time worked for us. He was clean, professional, considerate of our home and white carpeting, etc. He worked quickly and efficiently and communicated with us about isues he discovered, costs, and next steps. After the repair work was completed, the workspace was immaculate. We had a very good experience with this company.

James was very pleasant and careful. Faucet repair didn't turn out that great. The hammering/screeching noise that had first prompted my call was still a problem after he was gone. The firm did send someone back to redo the repair, with somewhat better results.

It took about 3 hours. The person showed up 1.5 hours later than expected, but did a good job cleaned up when the job was done. The cost was reasonable (they gave me a rough estimate over the phone, because the job was fairly small). This was done 2 months ago and we've had no problems with the filtered water system or the faucet. I should note, I had called a different company first, because a contracter referred me to them for smaller jobs. They charged $59 to come and do an estimate even after I explained the work I wanted to be done, then gave me an estimate of $1,200 for the job. That seemed unreasonable, and I was upset I had to pay for the estimate after I realized most plumbers, with this size job, would give a rough estimate for the job rather than charge to come out. Randy Lane did a very good job and I think the cost was fair.
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen faucet and installed undersink water filter, including adding a new small faucet to the sink for the filtered water.

Needless to say, I'd had enough. The estimate said nothing about me removing the sink, and the receptionist called back a few days later to inform me she was mistaken. Too late; thankfully I had found another company that came in with a lower price, did the work without hassle, was on-time and did quality work. This company seemed to have good intentions, but was highly unorganized and gave me poor customer service.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from Randy Lane & Sons Plumbing & Heating Inc. For some plumbing work. First of all, the worker was over an hour late to my house for the estimate. He left a message on my work phone saying he'd be late, but I was home on my lunch break to meet him! He tried calling my cell phone, but said that the receptionist wrote it down wrong, so he could not reach me. I returned to work and later my tenant had to let him in to the house for the estimate. He later called me and made a pretty convincing sell over the phone that he'd do great work, and told me he'd leave a copy of the estimate at the house for my review. Sure enough, when I got home, there was no estimate. Later a receptionist called me at work and faxed me a copy of the estimate. Because I really needed the work done, I still was prepared to have this company do the work. But when I called to schedule the work, the receptionist informed me I'd need to remove the sink before the worker arrived. That was it.

Randy Lan and Sons Plumbing really saved my new sink and faucet which I did not want to be replaced. They took the time to evaluate the problem completely and undid what I believe was an incorrect initial installment. The sink now works beautifully. Scheduling an appointment was easy, staff professional, knowledgeable and punctual.
Description of Work: The sink stopper on our new bathroom sink, which was installed by another plumbing company, was not able to be lifted up sufficiently to allow the sink to drain quickly or to clean out the drain. I was told by the installer that the way it was performing was as good as it could get due to the faucet that I had chosen. Randy Lane and Sons Plumbing figured out a way to fix the problem without replacing the faucet. They disconnected the stopper and reinstalled it to allow the sink to drain well and to allow it to be easily removed in the future if needed. They also cleaned the drain.

The plumber was on time, very pleasant, and kept working. He seemed very knowledgeable. The person who answered the phone on Saturday was very helpful and again on Monday morning. I was really very pleased with their response, the fact that they were able to complete the work on the first visit, and that my ability to use my water was restored!
Description of Work: I had a leak in a fitting behind the bathtub. They had to create a new elbow and solder in its place. It was a very tight space and hard to access.
