My experience with this company was very good. From my first phone call, to the 2 very friendly, capable plumbers who came to do the job. I felt they responded very quickly, they came the day after I called and did a great job. They cleaned up after themselves and were very professional.
Description of Work: The work I had done was fairly minor, just a leaking bathtub drain and re-attaching my toe lift.

The first plumber thought he had fixed the toilet, but it continued to run. They were very nice about coming back out. This time, the first plumber came back with a more experienced plumber, and they fixed it. The company was very helpful and concerned about fixing the problem correctly. The same two plumbers installed the new sump pump. They were very helpful, friendly and polite. They worked fast. I had been told that this project would take at least 1/2 a day with two workers, but they were done in a little more than 2 hours. They cleaned everything up very well. The new sump pump is working well and is much quieter. The pipe runs outside the house and they put on an attachment so I can attach a garden hose and use the water on my lawn (and get the water away from my house's foundation.)
Description of Work: They fixed a running toilet ($80). They came back on another day and installed a new sump pump, along with all new pipes running to the outside of the house. The previous sump pump had been installed in a non-standard way, with garden hoses running into the basement tub. They brought everything up to code. This project cost $1195.

He was very neat and clean and left me with no mess.
Description of Work: I had a leaking toilet. I thought the toilet needed to be replaced. When the repairman showed up , he told me it didn't need to be replaced and and he fixed. Within 2 days, it was broken again and he came out a second time to fix. It is still working fine and he did not charge me for the second visit. It was a really old camode, I'm surprised it didn't need replacing.

Al fixed one water spigot and replaced another. He did this very quickly and this was MUCH less expensive than a previous quote. He also answered some questions and was willing to work around another contractor who was there. I would definitely hire this company again and put in a request for Al!

We have had this company out before and have been very happy with both their work and their prices. Plumber did an excellent job. In addition, he was very personable and explained things as he went along. He replaced the inside shutoff with one much easier to use and brought the rest up to code. It looks so much better than it did and I am sure we will get excellent service from it.
Description of Work: Replaced a Rube Goldberg hose bib and internal shutoff apparently put together by a previous owner that had been here since before we purchased our house 24 years ago. It had recently sprung a leak from one (of several) pieces of pipe used to connect the faucet.

I was completely satisfied with the work done and have already referred them to a friend. Randy was at my house within a couple hours after receiving my call. Everyone one from the receptionist to Randy were extremely pleasant to work with. Randy explained why the drains weren t working and then augured them, put the piping back together, made sure the drains worked and cleaned everything up. He was thorough and offered much advice on how to fix some other plumbing problems I had. I thought the price and how quickly everything got done were excellent and was very happy with their work.
Description of Work: I had two drains that were clogged, my kitchen sink and bathroom sink. We had tried drain cleaners and snaking them but nothing worked. We called RANDY LANE & SONS PLUMBING & HEATING INC and they had their subcontractor come out their subcontractor is SOS Drain Cleaning. Randy from SOS Drain Cleaning came out and augured out both drains. It took Randy about an hour and both drains work perfectly now.

I called for service this morning, expecting to wait at least a few days for an appointment. The receptionist told me that there had been a cancellation and that she could send 2 plumbers over in 30 minutes! Wow! They arrived on-time, wore shoe covers, explained to me the problem, and fixed it within 45 minutes. I can't believe I put off fixing this leak for over a year- it was so easily taken care of! I will absolutely use Randy Lane again and recommend them to all of my clients! They were very courteous and professional. The ONLY reason I give them a B for professionalism is because they didn't put a stool back in the closet where they had taken it from and I had to ask them to put the access panel back on before they left. No big deal though.
Description of Work: My upstairs shower had been leaking onto the ceiling in my kitchen, causing a gradual water spot. Two gentlemen came out and replaced a corroded, leaky pipe. They also found a very tiny knick in the bathtub and mentioned that it may be an additional source of leakage- they filled in that knick and also gave me a business card for a company that may be able to better fix it if it remains a problem.

Al came and confirmed, we had a broken drain pipe in the basement, from our kitchen sink. Brian Lane gave us an estimate of $1695, which included replacing about 20 feet of drain pipe, replacing the drain pipe system under the kitchen sink, unclogging a bathroom sink, and replacing a bath spout. This did not include busting up the cement floor to get to the drain pipe, which we had already done ourselves, or replacing the cement floor. This seemed high, so we went with Norblom Plumbing, who performed the exact same work for $729.50 and did an excellent job. Part of what made us leery of Randy Lane, was that while Brian was looking at the pipe situation, he lamented the fact that people think he makes a lot of money, and that he actually has a lot of expenses, etc. I'm sure that's true, but discussing that with a potential customer, does not inspire confidence.

Very clear explanation. Friendly attitude. Keep Steve - a good communicator & competent.
Description of Work: Originally: Dripping taps on bathtub, bath drain clogged. Looked at back flow prevention. Also, cut off two shower heads and prepared for me to add new shower heads. It turned out that both the bath drains were not clogged, but the drain plug in the basin was not adjusted correctly. Steve found this immediately.

It was a fabulous, seamless experience. They had a secretary set up a convenient time to come over, came on time, put me at ease, communicated what was wrong in simple terms, described what they were doing at all times, and were done quickly. I asked if they could install a shower head different than the one I had. Jim happened to have one, gave it to me really cheaply, and installed it at no extra charge. I would recommend these guys to my grandmother.
Description of Work: I had a shower leak that was draining into my basement ceiling. They identified the problem within 3 minutes and fixed it in 10 (cold water handle needed to be sealed better- was leaking down drywall).

My entire experience was very professional. They charge by the hour, and they earned their pay - no slacking. My only complaint is that in unclogging the drain, they created a hole in an old, weakened segment of pipe. This was discovered in an unrelated follow-up call, but they took care of it.

Though everyone I talked to was very courteous and professional, their estimate was twice that of the plumber we chose to do the work. I was also disappointed that they recommended we replace our brand-new spigot with a frost-free as part of the repair work -- unnecessary work that we were not interested in.

He confirmed the toilet was not leaking. We went to the basement and the rafters were not wet. He also could not figure out why I was hearing the banging of the pipes but thought it could have been from the kitchen faucet. He fixed the faucet, and now it runs with full pressure. He gave me a senior citizen discount, as well as the Angie's List discount.
Description of Work: I thought the seal for my toilet was leaking because the floor was spongy, and there were pipes banging when I was running water. The kitchen faucet only had half pressure. He came this morning to do the work.

I called with a specific problem (overflowing toilet that couldn't be plunged) and instead of coming out to my house and charging me an arm and a leg, he referred me to a line cleaning service that specialized in my problem.

Our pipe was leaking and Randy Lane sent someone out the next day. The plumber who came out did not have the right equipment or parts to do the repair but explained what needed to be done, ordered the parts, and scheduled a time to come out the next week. A different plumber showed up to actually do the work and again did not have the right parts or equipment. He also said it would take two people to do the job. Once again, we scheduled a time for the repair. That next time they had the right parts and equipment and successfully replaced the pipe. During the course of the work, the toilet had to be removed, and when they put it back, they did not level it, so it wobbled. I called and Randy Lane sent someone out later in the week to fix it. Overall, I'm happy with the work, but this is the first time I've felt mislead by other reviews. I chose this company because it had so many great reviews, but they certainly didn't live up to an ''A'' for me.
Description of Work: The old lead main drainage pipe was replaced with PVC pipe.
