All in all, I thought the service was good, however their weekend on call service stunk. Mike, our repair man, was wonderful, and I would highly recommend him. Calls made during the week were returned promptly, and they were the first plumbing company I called that could take care of the problem within a very short amount of wait time. However, when I had a problem with the repair over the weekend, no one returned my emergency pages (left 3 number messages) and a voice message on the owners voice mail. I had to call back on Monday, and then the call was quickly returned, and the problem was corrected.
Description of Work: They replaced a broken kitchen sink faucet and fixed a leaky toilet.

Brian worked efficiently and quietly. He protected our rugs with a tarp so that he would not track dirt on them. He clearly explained the work he had done. I am pleased with the outcome of all the jobs he did. I do not know if the hourly charge is high or low or medium. I am guessing that it might be a little high, but the work was well done and I fell that I trust that the company will back up its work. That is very important to me.
Description of Work: Brian was able to get our kitchen faucet working, as well as getting the hot water flowing into our washing machine again. He installed two bathroom faucets, adding a turn-off valve and a new trap in the drain.

The plumber arrived as scheduled and removed the old sink and faucet. Unfortunately, taking the old sink out was not very easy and there was slight cracking of the countertop. The entire job took about 4.5 hours. The plumber cleaned the work site and was polite and helpful.

They quickly found the problem, he had the right equipment on his truck and it was fixed in no time. We are so appreciative!
Description of Work: Big plumbing problem in upstairs master shower. When my husband took a shower water started pouring in the downstairs pantry. My husband thought he could "fix it himself." He did try, and actually did not make matters worse but agreed to call someone. I called OJ Laughlin & they had the problem spotted and repaired quickly. They were awesome!

Tom was the scheduler who kept me up to date on all changes in their scheduling. He was friendly and did an outstanding job calling when his plumber was delayed (called me 3 different times to update me). 3 different plumbers came to my house to resolve various problems (Chris, Brian, and Darrell). All were extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Darrell had to break out a concrete floor to replace the floor drain and kept the area clean and took away all of the trash. He also did a great job replacing the concrete. Brian and Chris worked on the other issues and although the repair on the shower valve proved to be a little tricky they spent time to explain the different things they were doing to resolve the issues. I would highly recommend them to people that have large or small jobs.
Description of Work: Replaced a floor drain, replaced pipes under leaking kitchen sink, and repaired faulty Kohler shower valve.

Because both Angie's list & a friend who was using this company as a result of your listing recommended Laughlin, I called & asked that they come out & give me an estimate on 2 items: problems with water coming from sink faucet & problems with stack in basement. Person who answered the phone said his partner was out, but someone would call back (I left my name and number, of course). No one did call back nor did I, since I believe I can find plumbers who: (1) are willing to commit to a visit for an estimate, and/or (2) will tell you they are too busy, work only on jobs that require a $500+ possible fee, or (3) don't travel to where I live. I definitely got the impression after speaking about my situation that it seemed rather unimportant. The plumber I finally hired indicated Laughlin does mostly commercial work now. My job was not that "firm/promised" or lucrative I guess. Disappointing.
Description of Work: They performed no work.

Mike did a great job. It took a little longer than I'd hoped, but the outcome was well worth it. Plumbing is expensive, but at least I got what I paid for. This hasn't always been the case. I will use O.J. Laughlin Plumbing again.
Description of Work: Mike K. was my technician. We needed valves replaced on a bathroom Kohler faucet. We attempted to do the job ourselves, but were not able to get the old values out. Mike did a great job. He was pleasant and knowledgeable. He was concerned that with our old galvanized pipes we wouldn't be able to get much water pressure, but to our delight we have full hot and cold water pressure. We already had the values, but Mike had to put in a 12'' supply line, because of the damage we did trying to do the job.

Fantastic. This was my first try using the List, and I couldn't be happier. Laughlin got to me the next business day, were on time, and were very friendly and helpful. The plumber also showed me how to fix some other leaky valves we have.
Description of Work: Labor and materials to repair hot water leak on guest bathroom valve. It was necessary to open the wall to make the repair. They also cabled tub and sink drain.

Setting appointment for addressed problems went smoothly. Promised phone call to confirm more exact time was received. Plumber was cordial, professional and very knowledgeable. Efforts for cleanup was made and all questions answered and all problems repaired. Received the Angies 1st time 10% off, but the rates appear to either have gone up or reported inaccurately on anothers review. Only surprise was that the rate is actually $95/hr currently, not $85.00, but still $5/hr. cheaper than most.

They were referred to us by our contractor who had done work with them in the past. We explored other bids and they were extremely competitive. They were on time and respectful. They also did a good job cleaning up after.

We were very impressed by the professionalism of our technician who knew what the problem was, had the materials to fix the leak, and did the job in a very short time. We will use this company again if we have a plumbing problem.
Description of Work: Kitchen sink was leaking on Friday, 12/23. I called and asked for a plumber that day because it was going into the Christmas holiday weekend. I was told they would try to have someone out on that day - they called back a few hours later and said they would be out that afternoon. They came as promised, replaced all the PVC pipes, washer, PVC Slip extension and tubes in an efficient manner.
