The man who answers the phone was very polite and helpful. The repairman arrived on a damp day and put on paper booties every time he came into the house. Now that's considerate. He dug out both faucets in no time, replaced the washers, and then found his choice of washers didn't do well. He had to redo them, but he stopped his time at the point where he had to start over. He showed me the approximate bill (materials would be added at the office, but he estimated that part at a buck or two), and said I would be invoiced. He was pleasant, though he got rained on for about 5 minutes (he was prepared for that, too).
Description of Work: Replaced washers inside 2 anti-freeze outdoor faucets which were dripping badly and stubbornly resisted being removed for maintenance.

They were very accommodating. The first call they offered to come on a Saturday but said it would cost more and asked, did we want to do that or wait. Then they had to be rescheduled by us on the original day we requested service (due to a medical emergency) and when we called to set up another appointment they actually asked how my wife was doing, having remembered what had happened. Then the day when they were supposed to come, they were running late as the prior job ran way over and it would run into overtime. They were very apologetic and made a run first thing in the morning. The service man was very nice, pleasant, and courteous. He did an excellent job and cleaned up well. He did tell us our dishwasher needed some corrections to keep this from happening again. They don't do that kind of work. Overall, we were very pleased.
Description of Work: Cleared out a badly clogged main drain line.

I spoke with Karen on Thursday afternoon. I was pretty sure no one could come over the next afternoon. I was wrong. Karen called at 11:30 Friday morning and told me Chris would be over the same afternoon. She called back at 12:30 to tell me Chris would arrive at 1:30. "It took long enough," I joked with her. Chris arrived at 1:30 and was very friendly and did a great job replacing the faucet. I showed him another plumbing project, and he explained what I could do to prep for the work. That would save them time and me money. I couldn't be more pleased with the convenience, the work and worker. We really didn't know that the faucet could work as well as it is.

They came out within a few days. He noticed that one of the faucets upstairs wasn't working right and he had the part on the truck and he ended up fixing it for us, for us a small fee. They didn't require payment that day, they just sent bill which was nice.

I was calling a bunch of plumbers because when I went down into my basement that morning there was water spraying (luckily in the unfinished part) from a copper tubing pipe. OJ Laughlin plumbing was quick to respond and said they'd call as soon as they had someone available to take the call. They called back quickly and sent Brian right away. They were quick to answer, honest in their limitations, and friendly to deal with. I will keep their number for future use.
Description of Work: Brian came and fixed copper tubing leading to the humidifier that was spraying water in the basement. He also installed some newer shut off valves for that line. He did fine and through work.

Brian was friendly and professional, although he did arrive a half-hour late. He got right to work and was able to complete all 3 jobs satisfactorily. Unfortunately, all 3 jobs ended up being more complicated than predicted. To fix the toilet leak, Brian ended up having to saw off the top of a cast iron stack that had rusted through and replace it with a PVC version. That took some time. He also discovered that most of our tank hardware (gaskets, ballcock, etc.) was deteriorated and so, had to replace that (we never check that stuff and probably should.) To fix the leaky valve under the sink, he had to saw out a section of the copper tubing and replace it. And, to repair the leak in the pipe to the outside faucet, he ended up not only having to replace the run of pipe out to it, but also the faucet head. We ended up needing a lot of parts that added up to $70+ and the labor totaled 3.25 hours. The bottom line: we spent more than we wanted but are pleased with the results.
Description of Work: A total of 3 projects: 1) repair leaking toilet in upstairs bath; 2) repair leaking punch valve for hot water dispenser under kitchen sink; and 3) repair leaking water pipe in basement connected to outside faucet. We also had hoped to get the hot water dispenser working again, but the plumber pointed out that we'd left it plugged in and, without any water inside, the heater had "fried."

I called around 8:30 in the morning to make an appointment and was told that a plumber would be able to take care of me later that day. The plumber actually called about an hour later to say that he was on the way (which was fine for me)! The work was performed professionally and quickly, and the plumber was very careful to keep the work area clean.

Company sent out a drain company to auger the main stack however, he felt the problem was with each toilet. He augured both toilets until they flushed properly. Six weeks later the main bathroom toilet backed up again and a plumber was sent to the house. Once again, that toilet was augured. The toilet appears to be working however, somewhat sluggish.
Description of Work: Augured two bathroom toilets because the main bathroom and master bathroom toilets were backing up.

We had been experiencing drain backup for months, despite several attempts with a 50-foot drain snake and various tree-root-killing procedures. We finally gave up and decided to consult a plumber, which led us to Angie's List and, eventually, OJ Laughlin. They came out within 1 day of our first call, consulted with us on the problem, then worked on it for about an hour and a half. They were very professional, friendly, and efficient and we've had no problems since. We would definitely use them again!
Description of Work: Cleared blockage in sewer pipe. Blockage was about 70 feet away from the house and therefore out of our snake drain's reach.

I was very pleased with the overall experience. The worker was very careful to not damage home walls, spread covering on the floor in the work area, and wore protective shoe covers to prevent soiling carpet. The worker was very efficient and did repairs in the least possible time. He was also very willing to explain what he was doing and why.

Great response. Initial phone inquire was handled professionally and appointment made in timely manner. Service man arrived as scheduled and completed work in one hour. Courtesy and cleanliness was apparent from the get go. Knowledge and experience obvious. No mess left behind.
Description of Work: Jetted bathtub was leaking water onto the ceiling below. Removed ceiling dry wall to determine that the overflow was not properly sealed by the builder. The area was sealed/caulked and cover plate secured with more caulk. Tub was filled and water tested. Bingo! Problem fixed.

The work went very well. Codi was respectful of me and my property.
Description of Work: I am so pleased! I joined Angie's List after a confusing and misleading event with a plumbing company I found in the Yellow Pages and had acquired a BBB telephone report. The Bureau had no complaints on file for the last three years. To make a long story short, that company told me they would have to go into the wall to fix the plumbing problem and the cost would be over $600.00. I declined to have the work done by them and found Laughlin Plumbing on Angie's List. Codi was the name of the competent and patient man who arrived to save the day. It took 45 minutes of his expertise and the price was a wonderful relief. Codi asked questions and listened to what I had to say. He wouldn't start the project until he understood clearly what had occurred. He told me what he thought the problem might be and explained what he planned to do. And did it very well. It was not necessary to go into the wall. Thank you, Codi!!!

After the looking at the bathroom believed to be causing the problem, everything looked in order and the plumber assessed that some re-caulking and re-grouting was needed. He gave us tips on how to do this. While he was here we had all three bathrooms checked out and decided to replace the inner parts of all three toilets; 2 of them had be running on a continual basis. He was very pleasant and we would absolutely use them again.

I was very impressed by his efficiency and knowledge. He pointed out a couple of things that could possibly be problems in the future. He gave the information I needed to contact the water heater company on a water heater that is leaking and was just installed in July. I will definitely use them in the future and would recommend them to my friends. He was done in 1 hour and was right on time. If I don't have any luck with the water heater company, I will use them to replace the water heater.
