Pathmaker Plumbing

The owner John Stokes provided the service. He was prompt and efficient. He provided a consultation on some plumbing work I recently had done on the master bathroom. He was knowledgeable about what the other plumber had done wrong. He explained to me the proper pressure and flow that we should be receiving at the house. He also identified that the previous plumber had not completed the work they claimed to have completed. I trust his honesty and knowledge. Our water heater will need replacing in the near future, I will be contacting Mr. Stokes to complete the work. Its hard to find someone to trust to do the work properly, I believe he can be trusted.

He came on time and did a good job. He worked in our guest bathroom and we were having some issues with it. It turned out to be more than the big deal because he said I had an older style of toilet.

It worked out very well. The guy was absolutely right on time and when he came here and did the job, did it very efficiently and we talked about a couple of things that might be improved as time goes by, but he did the job and was very neat, clean and very prompt. The guy was named Stokes. He checked everything and showed me where the settings were and all that sort of thing and I was very confident after watching him do what he did, that everything was working fine. He didn't make a mess or anything like that and was very careful that there wasn't any. I've got his card and I'll make sure that other people know about him.

It turned out fine. He was very personable and easy to talk to. He wasn't trying to do a hard sell. It went very well. There were no additional costs. He had his recommendations but we can decide whether or not to do those. They seemed to make sense. They gave good reasons behind them. He was definitely very professional.

He was very professional and personable. He walked through what he was doing and made recommendations.

They were very professional. His prices were a little wacky compared to market value however.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. I didn't pay any additional. The price was all right. He didn't really do any work. I used a different company to replace it. He was on time.

Bought the Angie's list deal to get toilet tune up. Was having issues with all 3 of my toilets ranging from water spraying from tank to insanely slow refilling. John stepped me through the processes, showing me the issues so that I had complete understanding of what was going on. Gave me options on how to fix. Ended up going with major rebuild of all 3 toilets, which he did on this visit. John was knowledgeable and very personable. He enjoyed showing me how everything function and what he was doing, which I appreciate a lot. I would easily recommend him to anyone needing a plumber. I even have another appointment to fix a no-longer functioning expansion tank on my water heater.

It went great. John is very professional and detail oriented. He flushed and inspected everything to do with our water heater. He explained everything that he did. We will use him for all our plumbing needs and recommend him to our neighbors.

They did a great job. They did it quickly and I haven't had any problems with it since.

He was on time, provided great communications before the visit, and did quick work and excellent cleanup. I highly recommend Pathmaker Plumbing!

I purchased the $99.00 Big Deal Angie's List Special for 2 hours worth of plumbing. The main thing I wanted to do was have him clear 3 sink drains, which he easily took care of, but especially to find out why the special drinking water faucet we have in our kitchen was putting out water with particles in it, despite us putting new filters in it more than once. In regard to that second item, he really didn't help me figure out what the problem was. He said it "could" be that the water pressure in my house was too high, thus it could have blown the filter out. He told me that our pressure reducing valve was not working and recommended that we install a new one, but instead of in the house, doing it at the water meter out at the curb for $650. He also suggested installing a thermal expansion tank at the water heater for an additional $275. When I asked him about just fixing the failed pressure reducing valve in the house, he said he didn't recommend it. Also, when I asked him about just starting with the thermal expansion tank, he also said that he would not do it alone and would only do it in conjunction with the new pressure valve at the water meter (there was a good reason why that he explained, but I can't' remember it now). Anyway, when all was said and done and he was gone, it took me a few minutes to realize that the one thing I really wanted addressed wasn't - the problem with the drinking water faucet. On top of that, I still had almost an hour left for that "2 hour window" I purchased. At some point during his visit I mentioned the possibility of there being sediment build-up in the faucet itself, and he said that could be a possibility, but he seemed to focus on the water pressure being the problem. However, on the quote/invoice he left with me, he wrote, ""Checked filter under sink. Moen. Particles may (he underlined the word may) be due to pressure and/or thermal expansion." At the end of the day, I was disappointed that he didn't even take the faucet apart to check to see if it just needed to be cleaned out. All he did was remove the filter and looked at the unit that the filter attaches to, something I'd done myself several times. Looking back on it, I feel that he was more interested in trying to sell me on this water pressure thing then really making an effort to fix the problem for which I called him, especially when he couldn't say for sure it was the pressure, which if it were, I wonder why it hasn't happened to the water filter in our refrigerator. Anyway, he seemed knowledgeable and professional, but all and all I'm disappointed that I did not get a definitive answer on what is causing my problem.

I bought the Big Deal from Pathmaker Plumbing and John Stokes did a great job! He replaced the flapper in my toilet, and gave me a lot to think about regarding the purchase of a new toilet. I am considering it. He told me a lot about toilets that I did not know, about water flow, etc. He is a wonderful person and a great plumber. I may use him to replace kitchen sink when I get ready. I would highly recommend John at Pathmaker Plumbing for your plumbing needs!

I had to get a refund. I was disappointed that he would advertise on the deal that he serviced my area, but when I contacted him, he told me that he didn’t.

John was timely and professional. He spent adequate time explaining concerns. His rates were fair. I'd use him again and recommend him.

I had many leaky faucets which caught John's attention. He checked my PSI which registered 80-100. His suggestion was to have a Pressure Reducing Valve installed. I had never heard of so did some research with the county and sure enough that much pressure is h****** the system. It should be 50-60 psi. Valve is a couple hundred dollars which will be another visit. John is extremely knowledgeable and took his time evaluating and explaining.

I was very pleased with the service. I will highly recommend him to friends and neighbors. He was very professional, and he took the time to do it right the first time, and I very much appreciate what he did. I was very pleased with the price, I thought it was very fair. He was great.

He called immediately to schedule an appointment, called to tell me he was on his way and arrived on time. He was very professional and explained what he was doing and why. He installed the new fixture in the kitchen even though it was not part of the criteria of the Angie's List deal. He gave me a lot of good advice for issues going forward. I felt he was an honest person and was not trying to advantage of a female. I would hire him again.

It turned out that it was just a capped pipe from a recent renovation ( I would have never figured that out), but he took the time to try to help with several other items around the house and pointed out several things that could be issues later and drew up several quotes that seemed very reasonable.

John was very professional throughout . He arrived on time, calling before his arrival to assure me he was coming. He assess the work that needed to be done and did it quickly and efficiently. Since I had hired him for two hours as an "Angie's List Big Deal", he made sure that my home was in good shape, plumbing wise. I am thinking of changing out my toilet and flooring in my master bath. I asked his advise on the best way to do the job to get the best results. He answered all my questions and I feel comfortable in following his advise with his recommendations.

very well... John called and showed up on time.... asked me what was the most important thing I needed/wanted to have done... got on with that and explained all along the way what and why he was doing.... very professional

I was very pleased with the service. John was very punctual and professional, outlined what he thought was wrong and what my options were, and then completed the work in good time. He also cleaned up after himself very well, which is rare these days. I would definitely call Pathmaker Plumbing again should the need arise.

Plumbing person seemed to have a big ego and also refused to use any customer provided materials. Would prefer that these comments not be added to the websites. I will chalk it up as a personality conflict.

It went so well. John scheduled me immediately and let me know when he was on his way. He was professional and took care of everything that was wrong in my house. I have never owned a house before so this is all new to me. He also gave me some tips. I would absolutely use John again (hoping not to too soon!) and would recommend him to others.

This is my second encounter with Pathmaker Plumbing and I am still showing "two thumbs up". It is a pleasure to work with an honest practitioner of his craft. John replaced my handle and the inner workings so my master tub would not leak. He told me up front that if he could not get to the parts because of the way the tub and parts were installed, he may have to go through the dry wall, but that would be a last resort. He ordered the parts and when they came in, he called and we set up a time to get to work. John was able to replace the parts without having to cut into my dry wall, saving me hundreds of dollars. He showed me the defective parts, explained how he replaced it and the testing he did to ensure the issue was fixed. I am impressed with his professionalism, manner and approach to his craft. If I had three thumbs, he would get "three thumbs up" instead of two.
