The short version is that they provided some very helpful ideas when they produced the quote, and then they did a really nice job assembling some non-standard plumbing for a radiant-heat system. Specifically: 1. A guy named Will came out to do the quote. He suggested several good ideas that made the radiant assembly simpler. He was the only plumber to suggest an electric water heater. Due to significant issues venting a gas water heater, the electric proved to be the most cost effective solution (despite the fact that a gas water heater costs somewhat more to run). Overall, the quote process helped improve the project 2. A guy named Brian came out to do the install. He read the instructions that came with the radiant components, and pre-assembled many of them off site. Although it doesn't matter that much what it looked like, when it was done it looked really professional. He used depth off the mechanical board to route the pipes cleanly, and he did a nice job routing the PEX to the board. I was very pleased. When the inspector came out later, he commented on how nice the work was. The system pressure tested to 100psi, and passed the inspection. Brian was also very helpful in answer several questions related to the radiant system. 3. They replaced my existing water heater and it has been working without issue. Brian recognized a code compliance issue with my old water heater and helped me find a fix so that all the venting is kosher. Overall, I was very pleased with how this came out, and would definitely recommend them, including for non-standard work where you need some advice or ideas.
Description of Work: Replaced one water heater, installed a second new water heater, connected the mechanical components of a radiant heat system to the new water heater (PEX under joists was installed separately).

Janice at the office was very helpful in making sure I had understood what I had purchased and if I actually needed to have that done. I said it was basically for peace of mind since our basement was flooded due to tree roots around 6 years ago and I wanted to make sure that doesn't happen again. They were on time and very professional and based on their inspection I wouldn't have to worry about the sewer line for a number of years.

Their price is reasonable. I have recommended them to everybody. All of the guys that have come out to the house to work have always been very personable and on time. They call if they are running late or call to make sure that I am going to be here. They will give me suggestions on how to fix things and what might be the best thing to do just very helpful, and very professional. They are really good about trying to work with the schedule if there is an emergency.
Description of Work: They put in a shut off for water under both sinks. They put in gas shut offs for the stove. They installed drains. They have done a lot of work. The last thing they did was installing a new toilet. I called them six months back to come look at a slow drain but they ended up not having to do anything, so there was no charge.

Will came to look at the issue. After a couple of meetings we came up with a plan and got it fixed. Will is a very professional and kind hearted gentleman. He was with me right from the beginning till the end of the work. He politely answered all my questions. They are punctual and honest in what they say they will do.

The Plummer who was assigned the job did a good and efficient job. The only problem was our appointment time did not get recorded on their appointment book and so our time was missed. When I called to see where the plumber was, they realized their error and were very apologetic. We were told he would be there in an hour, but did not arrive until quite a bit after that. It would have been better if the office had called to keep us apprised of the later arrival time. However, the job was completed to our satisfaction.

Another company had quoted over $2,000 to fix the broken faucet, insisting they would need to go through the walls and work on that plumbing. Maplewood Plumbing came out, disassembled the faucet, suggested I soak it in vinegar overnight to remove debris. They came back the next morning and re-installed it and it worked perfectly.

Prompt response after Angie's List email. Measurements and quote within the next 24-48 hours. Set up the appointment for a few weeks later which coincided with some vacation days. The project took most of the day, but it was an odd one. Lots of angles, running the line behind a wall, drilling into a metal fireplace casing. The outcome is exactly what I was looking for and hope for a much more comfortable basement this next winter. They took care of the permit with the city, which was nice to not have to deal with. Service was profession and pleasant. Will call them for my next plumbing needs.

Response from MAPLEWOOD PLUMBING
I spoke with [member name removed] 5/22 regarding the level of service he received and the lack of clarity regarding our billing. After speaking with the plumber as well, I do believe we worked to resolve the issues [member name removed] had at that time. Brad is a very competent plumber, and replaced the valve because it was necessary. It is not our policy to perform unnecessary work intentionally. It is clear to me that [member name removed] didn't have a good understanding of our billing procedures. It is our duty to inform him of these before we ever arrive at his home. Whenever a customer calls our office for service, our service call rate and hourly billing charges are to be explained clearly. As of 5/22/2014, we charge $145 for the first hour and then $110/hr thereafter billable in 15 minute increments. Long before we arrive at your home or business to do work, I want there to be absolute clarity about this to eliminate any confusion. The plumbing can be confusing enough. I have offered a partial refund to [member name removed] regarding the level of confusion regarding the billing. --Will Oberkrom, Manager

I was fully prepared to have the repair made. I greatly appreciate Will's complete honesty and transparency. In spite of spending the better part of an hour with us, he made no attempt to "sell" me on something I had already resigned myself to do, but that he considered unnecessary. So, he saved me about $250! If I ever truly need some plumbing repair in the future, Maplewood Plumbing will be my first phone call
Description of Work: Our new (4 months old) clothes washer has been excessively rocking. The washer repairman said that the drum had gone bad, and would be replaced under warranty. BUT, he advised us that the cause was a distorted drip pan (upstairs laundry closet)underneath the washer, preventing the washer from remaining level and allowing the washer to rock during the spin cycle. He advised that we have a plumber replace the pan. Will from Maplewood came exactly at the promised time the next day for a free estimate. After his exam, he honestly said that the pan was OK and that he believed the above story was baloney, and most important, if it were his home, he would not replace the drip pan.

Maplewood Plumbing was recommended by Miracle Method, who was painting our bathroom. We had Will out to provide us with an estimate. We liked that they had worked with Miracle Method before, so they understood exactly what we wanted to see happen to prepare the bathroom for the painting. We decided to go ahead and set up a date for the work during the initial appointment. Maplewood Plumbing came out before Miracle Method and removed everything. They also installed a new shower kit so we could update the fixtures. This took approximately five hours to complete. After Miracle Method was finished with their part of our remodel, Maplewood Plumbing returned and installed the new vanity, toilet, shower fixtures.This took approximately three hours to complete. We would highly recommend Maplewood Plumbing. Everyone from the initial estimator, to the woman who answers their phone, to the two different installers we had, we were pleased with their work and customer service.

Will was punctual with his estimate and very sociable. Made me feel comfortable with his plan and his capabilities. The job got started on the date he told me he'd start. Once he began, he kept me informed of the what would happen next, when we'd be without flowing water (not long), when the old pipes would be hauled away by his subcontractor, etc. Since I was doing some of the finish work in rehabbing a bathroom at the same time, Will gave me pointers and offered to do some of the trickier work - at a very fair price, too. Overall, it was a breeze, mostly because the guy doing the work communicated and did the work he said when he told me he'd do it. Is that not outrageously unexpected these days? I'd have him back any time for plumbing work. And I've recommended him to some other neighbors, too.

A second floor toilet was leaking as evidenced by water stain on 1st floor ceiling. On the first visit to provide a quote, the plumber took the toilet apart and discovered the problem was with the pipes in between the 1st and 2nd floor. It would require cutting into the 1st floor ceiling to gain access to the pipes. On the repair visit, the plumber was able to find the pipes, repair them, and restore proper function to the toilet.

My problem got solved, with the least expensive method!
Description of Work: I had a problem with a sink backing up in my kitchen. It was a weird situation and not one easily fixed. The fix was going to be EXTREMELY expensive but I was willing to have it done to fix the problem. Brad, the plumber, kept trying to think of ways to fix the problem without going down the expensive route and then finally hit on the solution! They could have just gone the easy way and done the more expensive route. Also, the woman who answers the phone is extremely nice. One time I spoke to the owner and he tried to walk me through a problem I was having so that I wouldn't need a plumber! Don't find many companies like this anymore! Local, honest, caring!

Poorly. See above. They have no relationship to their word and don't want new customers.
Description of Work: Will Oberkrom is the son of the owner of Maplewood Plumbing. I called Maplewood Plumbing and scheduled a service call to repair leak in shower after reading their glowing reviews on Angie's List. Will Oberkrom did the repair work. The quality of his repair work seems to be okay as it got fixed as agreed upon. Will asked me to pay by check, which I did. He said he was in a hurry to get to another job, said he'd email me the invoice later that night. He said he'd email me a bid on addition plumbing work in a few days and that we'd schedule the work in the immediate future, which I agreed to and wanted done. I never heard from Will again. I called and emailed twice to get the invoice (which I need for tax purposes as this is a multi-family residential building). It took a few weeks to get the invoice. I spoke with Janice no less than 4 times and sent 3 additional emails to get the bid on the additional plumbing work. Will Oberkrom never responded. I brought this to the attention of Janice. She said she'd talked with Will, that he'd get in touch with me. After 6 weeks, Janice called me, said they were too busy and recommended other plumbers in the area. My building is a 14 unit apartment building and want/need a professional plumber who is near by to take care of the building. Maplewood Plumbing totally dropped the ball. I would not use them again for any reason. They aren't the type of company that Angie's List recommends or promotes. I would never recommend them. I would advise people to find a different plumber.
