Fine, at first. The bid of $1600 was the highest of the three we received, but we went with All Star because of the great reviews on Angie's List. I would always prefer to pay more for quality and expertise, as long as it's worth it. The trash disposal and new sink and faucet are fine. Jack had trouble with the toilet since it had been installed improperly, mentioning that it was hard to get level. After a few months, the toilet started rocking. If I had understood then what I know now, I would have called him immediately, but it was only when I saw the large sewage leak and mold in the finished ceiling of our basement below the toilet that I understood the gravity of the situation. I immediately shut off the water and called Jack. He couldn't make it out for a few days. When he did come, he discovered that the new flange, which he had replaced seven months earlier, was "bad." He fixed it, which was great, but then he billed us an additional $450 to install a new flange. No warranty of his previous work. When I sent him a note asking why we were getting billed such a high price for a simple job -- and for work that should have been warranted in the first place, I got no response. Not at all what I expected for all the money I had paid him. In addition, I had to pay for mold remediation work, a new ceiling, and painting. This has been a nightmare, and I hate feeling like I've been taken for a ride.

Response from All Star Plumbing
I would like to reply to your review. On November 15th, 2017 I installed an American Standard ADA Comfort Height toilet. I had to raise your flange 3/4" due to the floor tile and the previous plumber did not raise the flange for the floor height. Note - I add one flat flange to to raise the height. I also installed a 1/2 horse power garbage grinder complete with a 2 year warranty. I also installed a new lav sink with a brushed nickel faucet. The price for this work was $1,600.00 which is a very fair price. Nine months later you contacted me about the leak in the ceiling. After pulling the toilet I could not find a reason for a leak. In talking to your husband, who was home at the time, I removed the tile and cement under the toilet at which time I found a big crack in the 3" ABS pipe and not the flange I had installed. I showed your husband that I would have to cut the pipe out below the floor. I then repaired the pipe and re cemented the floor. I then returned the following day to reinstall the flange and toilet. You were billed $450.00 for fixing the broken pipe and reinstalling your toilet. I had a person with me at the time that would repair and paint your ceiling for $450.00 dollars and you were to let me know. I am sorry for your issues but it was not my installment of your flange and toilet that failed. Thank you, Jack Stodola All Star Plumbing

I called All-Star at 7:30 pm tonight after finding a basement catastrophe. Jack answered and said he could swing by the next day because he would be in the neighborhood. I described the problem in detail. Jack cut to the chase—he asked if I felt up to the challenge of solving the problem myself. He said that with these shut off valves it’s usually a quick fix that I could handle without a plumber. He offered two solutions that he said usually fixes the problem and stayed on the phone while I fumbled through both. After about 10 minutes of coaching, I got it fixed. Clearly, Jack sees that his mission is to solve customers problems, and that is something I really appreciate. He offered me free advice and some patient coaching. I will be calling him in the future when I need plumbing services, that is for sure.

I would give him all A's but it is hard for me to know the pricing because i did not have it competitively bid out. I just accepted what the charge was. The guy used to live 4 houses down from us, knew us, did the job well.
Description of Work: I used All Star Plumbing to install new kitchen sink with a new faucet. They replaced the hot and cold water timer, they replaced faucets in the tub, re caulked the tub and replaced a slow leak in another pipe in our plumbing system.

Not only was the sillcock installed improperly (twice), but All Star blamed me for the problems even after I pointed out the incorrect pitch in Spring 2016 and was told that was not a problem. We have not only incurred the cost of an incorrect installation the first time, but also a failed second repair, a third repair by a different plumber, and the cost of repairing a very expensive piano. I shared all of this information with All Star two months ago, and I have received zero response.
Description of Work: In Summer 2014, we hired All Star to replace all of our plumbing. In Spring 2016, we discovered the sillcock pipe that had been install in Summer 2014 had burst. All Star Plumbing replaced the pipe at a discounted price, despite blaming us for not properly draining and insulating that part of the basement. In Spring 2017, the sillcock pipe burst a second time, despite additional precautions to drain and insulate the pipe. I was informed by two other plumbers that the pipe had been installed with improper pitch, which caused the pipe to burst, not the failure to drain and insulate the pipe. My wife had a very expensive piano that was ruined by the second pipe burst.

All Star Plumbing responded immediately, coming to drain the heater the same day, and completing the work the next day. Very professional and thorough, with replacing needed piping, connections, etc., in order to be up to code (home 1955). He also turned in necessary form for rebate. Very pleasant to do business with! I would definitely hire again. Replaced water heater with a good quality Richmond Rheem.

The problem (loose bolts holding the tank in place) was diagnosed and fixed within 15 minutes. I was almost embarrassed to have called a plumber for such a minor problem. I was reassured by Jack that the call was appropriate. He gave me a special price, since I was a first time customer. I will definitely use All Star Plumbing again should the need arise.

The plumber was good. It took a little longer than estimated and he cleared the floor drain as much as he could. He informed us that there was likely another clog in our main sewer line and provided a reference for us. Service was good and professional.

We moved into a new house and on the first night in the house we had major plumbing problems. The sink and toilet in one bathroom leaked through the floor into the basement laundry room, and even worse, at 11:00 PM at night the shower drain in the other bathroom completely flooded another section of the basement, all over the boxes we had moved in only hours before. We were devastated (especially since we had the home inspected prior to purchase). Early the next morning I began calling the highly rated plumbers I found on Angie's List. Jack from All Star Plumbing was the first to call me back (within 15 minutes of my call). He was at our house in an hour. Just diagnosing the problems with the drain pipes was a challenge that required cutting into sheetrock and removing ceilings in our basement. At each step of the way he showed us what he was doing and what he found. What he found was completely rusted out drain pipes and a mess of water and sewage damage in our ceilings. To make a long story short, he ended up replacing all of the drain pipes from our two bathrooms (toilets, sinks, shower/bath). He had to cut through a number of the old galvanized water pipes to access the drain pipes. So, after some discussion, we decided to replace all of the water pipes while the ceilings were open and the basement was already a construction zone. Jack's assistant Gary was also amazing. He replaced the ceiling carefully piece by piece, put in new sheet rock in our bathrooms, and did great finishing work. They put down tarps and were careful to clean up each day and at the end of the job. We appreciated that they worked in sections so that we could use our plumbing every night and morning. This was a really difficult time for us, as we were excited about our new home and stunned by this immediate and significant problem. Jack helped us to document everything carefully in case we needed records to seek relief from the home seller. He and Gary were both incredibly kind and understanding. And they were fun - Gary started bringing dog treats every day for our dogs. I would highly recommend All Star Plumbing to anyone. In fact, I already have. They are helping my aunt to remodel her bathroom this summer. I have since called and ask Jack's advice on other items, and I know I have found my plumbers for all future jobs! Don't hesitate to call them. This is the best service provider that I have ever found using Angie's List.
Description of Work: Jack responded promptly to my emergency call, was at our house within an hour, and then spent the next 14 days (including weekends) working to replace all of the drain pipe and water pipe in our new (to us) 1950s era home. This included carefully removing and replacing sheet rock, ceilings, and cleaning areas where leaks happened. It also included creative solutions like installing vent covers in some areas of the ceiling so that we could have easy access to pipe joints in the future. He did the work in such a way that he could turn the water on every evening when he left so that we could use our plumbing at night and in the mornings.

I woke up this morning with no hot water. After checking the hot water heater and finding that the pilot light had gone out, I followed the directions to relight. After 3 tries, I called my furnace company (Boehm Heating) for a recommendation for a plumber. They gave me two numbers. I called the first and they said they couldn't possibly get here until Monday (this is Thursday). So I called the second number. Jack the owner of All Star Plumbing answered, listened to my problem and said he would stop by over lunch as he was working in the neighborhood. He came by at noon and also couldn't get the pilot to stay lit. He said he thought it was the thermocouple and that he could come by after work and try that fix. He called a little before six and by 6:45 I had a working water heater. Jack was so nice and professional. We discussed the age of my water heater and the probable need to replace in the near future. I appreciate that he took the time to swing by while on another job to look at my issue. I will definitely have him back in the future for my plumbing needs.
