He came out on a Thursday of Friday and I wanted to pay him right away but he wanted to wait to make sure it worked before I payed them. It has been working fine ever since.

They came in and identified the problem. It was definitely an excellent experience. He was able to determine where the leak was coming from, the reason for the leak and he was able to take care of it.
Description of Work: OJ Laughlin Plumbing Company came in because I as having problems with my lower level shower, it was leaking. They also installed a new rust-proof outside faucet for me.

Service Tech Michael Lubbert (unsure of spelling) arrived promptly as scheduled and got right to work. All 5 jobs were completed satisfactorily in about an hour. I only wish I had the option of giving them an A+. Final bill was for their minimum service charge of $150 less a $25 first time Angie's List customer discount plus the cost for parts. It's been years since we've had plumbers who knew what they were doing and were not interested in padding the bill. While I certainly hope to never need their services again, I certainly hop they are still in business when I do. They get my highest recommendation.

I wanted a new water heater - by the time they finished I had a rebuilt water heater. I did not appreciate this. I thought the price was a little high. They told me before the service the price and I agreed to it.
Description of Work: One man came in, put in a water heater. Up to this point, all was well. However when he went to light it, he could not get it to light. He called another company (BIGS Plumbing) - takes care of warranties on water heaters. Took BIGS about a half hour to get here, and about an hour to fix it and get it working. The water heater works fine now.

I was able to get a "first call" appointment, meaning you would be first on the list at 7:30am, instead of waiting for a window later in the day. That worked out well for me. He was here about one and a half hours. He was able to track down a leak in the basement to an upstairs shower that was old and needed caulked (no plumbing issues with pipes, etc). He had to fix a shower diverter in a downstairs bathroom,. We also had a tub with a drain lever that would not work. He had to replace the unit, but did not have a matching color on his truck so he put in a non-matched unit so we could use the tub, and came back a week later with the correct colored unit and replaced it again with no additional charge. I really appreciated that. Our plumber was very nice and we had great customer service. I will use this company again. As far as pricing, it cost me $300 total. Plumbing is always expensive, and we did not "price shop" for our small repairs, but I'm guessing this was in the fair price range compared to the going rate.
Description of Work: Helped us locate a leak dripping into our basement, fixed a shower diverter, and a bathtub lever that would no longer drain.

The plumber arrived right on time. Took a look at the leak and said it could be done in less than an hour. He noticed the water shutoff for the furnace humidifier and refrigerator ice maker were old style saddle valves. He said he could replace those with correct valves within the one hour minimum and it would only cost me the materials. All work was completed as stated. He was professional, polite and cleaned up completely when done. I definitely will use them again if and when I need a plumber.

Not much to describe really... I called on July 1 and asked if they could be at my place on the 5th or the 6th and was told yes they could be here between 1-4pm, and that the guy would call when he is in the area. Never received a call, text, or even voice mail. No one showed up at my door or even in my neighborhood. Since the issue I wanted addressed wasn't urgent, and I was going to be home anyway, I let the time pass without much of a fuss. My first experience with OJ Laughlin Plumbing Co Inc was very good and it is because of that experience I would be willing to give them another call (and also why I gave them a C on what otherwise should be F). It just won't be anytime soon. I decided to spend my cash elsewhere.
Description of Work: What did the provider do? Sadly nothing. I obtained an appointment for Friday July 5 between 1-4 and they never showed, never called.

I called OJ Laughlin sort of at the last minute as another provider hadn't called me back after 2 days. Anyway, once I got of a hold of someone, they were able to identify the person who would be here, gave me his name and told me when he would arrive. Nice touch - especially when the guy arrived 15 minutes early. He quickly identified the problem, showed it to me as well as a fix and recommendations. He was in and out in about 15 minutes and even gave a keychain.
Description of Work: I had a leak somewhere near the drain of my washer/dryer that was seeping into the garage downstairs.

I was given instructions for how to remove the leaky substance from the walls. The instructions worked like a charm. Since then, I've not seen any evidence of a problem. During a subsequent "Town Hall" I did learn a vacant property in the neighborhood had a serious bee infectation situation!
Description of Work: Determined what I thought was a water leak, was something else entirely. Possibly the result of a beehive or a pocket of sap in a piece of lumber that started to melt. They also repaired a toilet that would run constantly and a tightening a loose bathroom tap.

I had two different visits with two different people. This first one came out to fix the urinal and he was supposed to call me back because I had some other work that needed to be done, and he never called me back. The second person came back to clean out the clog and he came out and did that. I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't call me back so I'll have to find somebody else to take care of the other issue.
Description of Work: I used OJ Laughlin Plumbing Co Inc as my plumber. I had him here twice. I had a sink that was clogged and and a urinal that he had to fix.

The plumber from O.J. Laughlin showed up exactly on time. He quickly analyzed the problem and replaced the pump in short order. Also, he improved the discharge line which had a faulty expandable joint. Very thorough and professional. Licensed plumbers can be expensive but OJ Laughlin was worth every penny and they were very accurate on the phone quote.
Description of Work: Replaced a failing sump pump and repaired the discharge line.

I called them on October 9th. They said they couldn't fix the leaking faucet until I got an estimate. He said someone would call to make an appointment later that week. The following Friday, after no having heard from them, I called asking when someone could come. The same person I talked to before said they were too busy. I called again a week later & finally got an appointment. They gave an estimate & I ordered the service, but they never came out. After a month I gave up & called a handyman service who came out the next day & fixed my leak after hearing I was a member of Angie's List.

We looked on-line for nearby plumbing companies with good reviews and found OJ Laughlin in Valley Park. Their plumber arrived on-time, thoroughly and professionally fixed our problem, and then asked if there was anything else we needed. I off-handedly mentioned that the water pressure in our kitchen was low. He took a look at it, identified what turned out to be a very simple problem and then fixed it for a very reasonable price. O J Laughlin is our plumbing company of choice. We were very, very satisfied with their service.

The company was well represented and will definitely be doing any and all plumbing work on my house!
Description of Work: There was water in the basement and I had no idea where it was coming from. They came out within an hour of my call, figured out what was leaking and helped me plan the next steps. Since the insurance company was involved, they prepped it all for the adjuster and me as we'll as to what to expect and how to proceed with the repairs since there was flooring damage as well which must be repaired prior to the plumbing items repairs. The representative was courteous, helpful, and informative. I will definitely be calling them to do the plumbing work as soon as the new floor is installed!

This job was done in a first class and professional manner. An appointment was scheduled promptly to review the work I wanted done and a detailed description of the work to be done was provided within a week along with the cost estimate. After I accepted the proposal of work, the work was started within a week. I was , and still am, completely satisfied with every aspect of the completed job.
Description of Work: 1) Replaced hot water heater. 2) Replaced upstairs toilet. 3) Replaced basement laundry tub. 4) Replaced basement toilet. 5) Removed basement shower stall and sealed floor drain. 6) Installed floor drain for new laundry tub. 7) Installed floor drain for basement laundry area. 8) Replaced all existing galvanized plumbing in basement with copper tubing. The plumber spent 2 days removing and replacing all the items listed above. He did the best work I have ever seen. He installed shutoff valves to allow servicing of every appliance connected to the plumbing without turning off the main water supply valve. If you want beautiful plumbing, this is the company to engage. They also left the work area cleaner than it was when they arrived. And to finish it off, the plumber reverse flushed the system to remove the old iron pipe rust and scale which restored water pressure to the hot water taps in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom.
