Woke up Saturday morning to discover our water heater was leaking. Reached out to Mike McGee, he located a suitable water heater, and came out and replaced the water heater the same day. Very friendly, very professional, did a very good job, left job site clean. I highly recommend him and The Gentleman Plumber, and wouldn't hesitate to use them for any other plumbing project.

He came over about 15 minutes later and showed us where the cut-off was and waited while we tested it out. Talked about doing some additional work and he is sending a proposal.
Description of Work: Was unable to determine where the water cutoff was for the pool house so called Jim McGee who had done some work for us in the past.

Free inspection and estimate with the ability to return the following day to complete the work. They arrived on time and completed the work in a timely manner. The work was done professionally and they did an outstanding job cleaning up the work site. I would definitely go back to them for any additional plumbing projects.
Description of Work: We have engaged this company on two occasions. The first was to conduct the inspection of our septic system which went very well. We then had a number of plumbing projects - replacing two outside host spigots, install whole house water cut-off and replacement of all plumbing for the outdoor pool shower

They sounded very good. I was excited about using them. A week later, I called and left a message that I had not received a quote. I went ahead and hired someone else. Two weeks after the initial contact, they called and asked if I had received their quote (which I had not), but it didn't matter... the one I hired was halfway through the job.
Description of Work: I called this company to get a quote for removal of my steam shower and replacing with tile.

It went great. I hated spending the money (don't we all?), but I couldn't have asked for a better, hard working crew of men to do this work. I know they had other jobs today, but to get all these men and knock it out quickly, I really appreciated that I didn't have to keep living, knowing I was losing water and $$, until it was more convenient for them.
Description of Work: I discovered I had a water leak, but didn't know where (meter was spinning with nothing turned on). They came promptly. Discovered I had a leak (not obvious) between the house and the meter. I decided to have the water line replaced as previous leaks had occurred (repairs performed previously by other vendors). They had a team of 5 men here within the hour and had my water line and shut off valves replaced within 2 hours. Great work! Complete clean up! Very efficient!

The water line from the meter to the house next door broke. Owners are friends and were out of town, but had renters in the house. I contacted McGee and Sons to see if they could make the repair, knowing that it was a holiday at the beach and that they would be slammed with business. Mike said that they had about 30 calls to get to, but were in the area and would stop by in about an hour and a half to make the repair. Low and behold, two McGee trucks rolled up within the hour and started looking for the break. I had assured him I knew pretty much where the break was based on all of the water welling up in the yard, which would make for a quick repair for a work-in. Well, I was wrong, and it took them about 30 minutes to locate the break; so the job took longer than they hoped. Anyway, they did a super job--prompt, professional, courteous, and saved the day for my neighbors and their renters. I didn't rate them on price, b/c the invoice went directly to my neighbors.

Description of Work: Installed a new kitchen faucet. Required some trimming of our current sink, they made my faucet work! We did have a mishap where they spilled a quart of paint that was on my dining table, but they helped clean it up and were super apologetic. | |Bob was very friendly in fixing a scheduling error caused when anothe Angie's List customer called to cancel--got me in while we were still at our vacation home thankfully.

Mr. McGee sent Lucas out to the house to handle our repairs. Lucas was on time and very helpful. He investigated the problem and walked me through the ideal solution, which turned out to be less work than I'd initially asked for. We had an outdoor pipe freeze during winter but didn't realize it until we actually turned the water back on. Lucas not only repaired the problem, he put in place measures to ensure the pipes can be properly drained next winter. While he was there I decided to ask him about an outdoor shower head and broken handle on the outdoor faucet. Lucas had everything on hand to effect those repairs as well. When all was said and done Lucas had fixed more problems than I'd originally intended to ask about and was still less than the amount I was expecting to pay. "The Gentleman Plumber" is an apt description of McGee and Sons.

Description of Work: Replaced a commode and repaired outdoor shower valve. Excellent workmanship and very courteous. The only problem I have with company is that they are hard to get since their services are in high demand. They do recommend other plumbers when they are busy and the recommended plumbers have all done good work.

Mike and his son are very professional and courteous. The quality of their work is outstanding. After opening our beach cottage we discovered that our hot water heater was on it's last legs. Since the unit was 36 years old, it was time for a new one. I called Mike McGee at the Gentleman Plumber and I was pleasantly surprised that he could come out that day. Mike's son arrived first and removed the old heater and had the new one on a stand and ready to install when Mike arrived. After a little bit of re-plumbing everything was completed and I had hot water that evening. I had a couple of small jobs replacing valves in the yard and they were more than happy to replaces them. It is a pleasure to know that I have an excellent plumber to use when I need one.

OMG! This is the plumber I've been looking for since I moved here 11 years ago! I didn't think I'd ever find another plumber with the expertise and professionalism as my Michigan plumber, but Mike McGee measures up in every way. So nice to find a professional who takes pride in their work and charges a fair price. .

Everything was great. Mike and his son are true professionals. Completely honest and trustworthy. He kept me updated and made sure we were satisfied. We called for emergency service and he took care of us right away. It was a very pleasant experience and I will use him again as well as recommend him to anyone else in the area. He was very friendly and also helped answer a few other questions I had that were outside his field. Very much appreciated!

,I couldn't have asked for a better plumber, and person to work with. Mike is truly the Gentleman Plumber. I was kept apprised of the progress and issues that he faced with the job. This communication was very important to me since the house he was working on was 2 1/2 hours from my primary residence. The 63 year old beach house where Mike was doing the renovation belonged to my grandparents and has been passed down to me. Mike was incredibly respectful of the unique qualities and challenges that the house presented and treated his work with it as if it were his own home. No detail was too small, no problem arose that he couldn't overcome. The bathroom is now a showplace. I know that in Mike, I have found someone who is invested in my house and keeping it up and running. This is truly a relationship that will continue for many,many years. I've already spoken with him about re-plumbing the outdoor shower in the Spring!! He will have my business for years to come.
Description of Work: Mike and his team removed and replaced 60 year old pipes and did a complete renovation of the bathroom. Not only did Mike have a very small space in which to work, he had to remove a cast iron tub weighing over 500 lbs! He replaced the tub, plumbed new lines, removed and replaced the sink with a gorgeous new vanity, removed the toilet, which he managed to salvage, and tiled the floor and shower surround and installed a new window.
