When he arrived he was prompt and friendly. Yet, when I called back two times at least, he would never follow up with me. I don't know what the story or problem was with this company. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
Description of Work: The company was supposed to give an estimate for sink and a faucet to be placed in the laundry room.

When I called and described the work, the service representative scheduled an appointment immediately. The plumber showed up first thing on the morning of the job and was done in a couple of hours. He was very professional, careful to protect the floor and sink, and did exactly what was needed. I have talked to them about another job. He also took $10 off the bill when I told him I got their name from Angie's List.
Description of Work: We had a new sink installed and needed new connections including new fittings and cutting and sweating some connections. We also had a new toilet installed.

They unplugged the toilet but it got plugged again and I called them back and they charged another hundred dollars for them to come back for the labor. I thought they were high priced. Otherwise they are fine. We have used their services before and the work is good.
Description of Work: They unplugged the toilet twice and installed new stems and washers for outside faucets.

They were educational in how to maintain what they had just done, so that it wouldn't happen again in the future. They were really helpful, in understanding the differences in product lines for future faucet purchases.

It went just fine. His name was Brian and he had been out here before. He is very good and very neat. He is also very efficient. He also fixed my bathtub.
Description of Work: The water closet needed part so they came and replaced it. It was causing the water to not stay at the level it was suppose to so I needed a few one.

The plumber was very good and knowledgeable. He actually took the time to explain what was wrong and how we could fix the items later should a problem occur. Also he was very responsive. He called back in one business day. It only took him 5 minutes, but his charge was for one hour. Parts were seven dollars and the rest of the cost was for labor. If I have a larger job later on down the line, it will definitely be worth the price.
Description of Work: Unclogged the sink and changed the flapper on the toilet.

I called on Monday to get an estimate to replace my garbage disposal. Was immediately connected to a knowledgeable guy who gave me an estimate and set up an appointment within the week. Mike Luebbert showed up on time, laid out a blanket to ensure the floor was protected and kept clean. Mike worked very efficiently and provided recommendations. It took an about an hour to replace disposal and he cleaned up afterwords. I felt very comfortable with Mike in my house and would definitely utilize again for plumbing work.
Description of Work: Replaced garbage disposal and inspected two bathroom faucets due to one dripping and the other having low pressure.

The contractor was prompt and knowledgeable. He cleaned the drain and showed me some of the problems that contributed to the flooding.
Description of Work: My basement flooded after the heavy rains in June 2008. Water came in through the central drain and the sump pit (we didn't have a sump pump). The central drain was cleaned by a contractor sent by O.J. Laughlin.

My basement flooded in June 2008 for the first time in this 10+ year old house. When we bought the house it just had a sump pit and we decided not to install a pump unless it flooded. Well it finally did! I got 3 quotes for a sump pump. One was as high as $1100. Another was about the same price as this one but they didn't even have a listing in the phone book which made me uncomfortable. O.J. Laughlin was fantastic. They quoted a price of "about $500" so I was pleasantly surprised to get the bill for just $415. While the plumber was here he asked if I had any other problems and I mentioned two slow flushing toilets. He replaced bad parts on each toilet and they both work perfectly now. I was expecting this company to be good based on the reports on Angie's List, but this experience was even better than expected. Everyone I talked to was courteous, on time, professional, and best of all...the price was even better than expected.
Description of Work: Installed a sump pump in an existing pit.

Well, the work was done well. They did not disclose that the permit to remove the backflow preventer would cost $100.00. It is actually $63 from the city but the company charges $100 because they can, I guess ("administrative cost"). They were upfront about the labor cost but not the permit, and they also said at the time that they could not use the faucet my husband bought because "it wasn't robust enough." Then he called when we got the bill (3 months after the work was done, $28.95 for the faucet they put in) and Curtis (the plumber) said it was because the pipe wasn't long enough. Also, when we called they said there was "no way" they didn't tell us about the permit charge. But trust me, I made detailed notes to budget for this and there is nothing about a $100 charge. It was NOT disclosed. Deliberate? I doubt it. They probably just forgot. But still. Is the work done well? Yes it is. Would I use them again? I would try some other companies before calling them again. And if I did call, I would certainly ask more detailed questions to make sure the cost was clear up front.
Description of Work: Had backflow preventer removed and replaced leaking outdoor faucet.

I called due to toilet leakage from the pipe in the basement. I was able to fix problem by replacing the wax ring. I was unsure I could lift toilet. I called them back and canceled the appointment for the time being..They were very understanding. If it started leaking again, I would call back..so far so good!!
Description of Work: They responded to my call within 24 hours and an appointment was made. The person was very accomodating and friendly. I had to cancel the appointment to fix toilet leak because I was able to fix the problem myself. They were very understanding and I will call them in the future for plumbing problems.

It went OK. I was kind of disappointed that the plumber was unable to clear the clog but had to call a drain cleaner who essentially did the same thing the next day. They were very polite, clean and on time.
Description of Work: Drain cleaned out from juncture in sink. The first guy could not clear the clog, so a 2nd rep. came the next day and was able to clear it from the sink. He also snaked from the roof just to make sure.

Very well done. Came out for the estimate and came back to do the work. Very efficient.
Description of Work: For the longest time, we couldn't figure out why there wasn't any hot water in the main shower. They came out, looked over everything and it was clear the guy really knew his stuff. Honest and forthright about replacing galvanized pipes but said we could live with it a while longer. Fixed the main problem and went the extra mile to find the right piece.

My kitchen sink was clogged and I could not wait until the next day to have a plumber come to my house. I went on Angie's List and found this company after calling other plumbers, unsuccessfully. They made time for my project. The plumber made sure the cabinet was protected from any mess and he was sure to clean-up any mess lift behind. I was impressed.

They were able to schedule the visit within a week of my request and were right on time on the service date. The service tech was very friendly, and performed the work in a timely manner. He cleaned up after the work was complete.
Description of Work: The faucet in the main bathroom tub did not work well and we were unable to get hot water in either the tub outlet or the shower head. They installed a new valve cartridge and spout, the result of which was all things working as they should.
