The service person fixed the 2 initial leaks I had noticed and while doing so he noticed an additional leak in one of the pipes. He didn't have the parts on hand so he went and picked them up and came back and finished the job. He was efficient, very professional and nice.
Description of Work: Fixed a leak in my bathroom and kitchen sinks. While he was doing that job he noticed an additional leak in the kitchen pipe and recommended fixing that also, which he did.

Mr. P. Wyman was prompt, responsive to my concerns, very professional in his approach to the problem. Mr. Wyman went into much detail concerning the potentional problems that may be encountered during the repair and the potential fixes. The information he related to us, enabled my wife and I to make what was for us the best decision. He did the work in a timely and professional. When the repair was finished he did a masterful job of cleaning the work area. I would very much be willing Mr. Wyman again.

After I left my frantic message about no hot water, Proficient called back within 10 minutes. An appointment was made for between 11AM and 1PM later that afternoon. At 10AM Proficient called and were on their way. The representative was very professional and polite. He asked about the problem to double check his work order, and then quoted a price which was very reasonable. The work took about an hour. When he was finished, he cleaned up better than my husband ever would. I have hot water again! I highly recommend Proficient Plumbing and Heating, and will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Fix the leaky pipe running to the hot water heater, which resulted in no hot water in the house.

I called Paul regarding a mystery leak that we could not pin down which also involved a filtration system, as well as a few other smaller jobs. Once he got to my home he realized that the filtration system was more complicated than he usually deals with and recommended that I get a specialty contractor that specializes in home filtration systems. At this point, he could easily have left but instead he took the time to locate and stop the leak, which we really appreciated. He then gave me an estimate for the other jobs. I really appreciate Paul's honesty since so many contractors tackle jobs that they cannot do and end up creating a bigger problem than was first reported. Also, he responded right away to my initial phone call and came when he said he would. The estimates that he did give me were also very fair. Thanks Paul!

Excellent work. Professional, responsive, punctual. They took extra care in making sure floors were covered and protected and cleaned up the work areas. Paul is extremely efficient, professional and courteous. I have had many experiences with other plumbing companies both big and small and Proficient Plumbing & Heating is by far the best! Responsive, courteous, honest, and professional.

We used Paul from Proficient to replace a boiler and water heater and to install some baseboard heating in our basement. We were so pleased with both the process and the end result that I cannot recommend Proficient highly enough. All of the work was very well done and he always conducted his business in a very professional manner. The price was very reasonable compared to other quotes we received, and Paul was always punctual. He also went out of his way to accommodate our schedule, which was sometimes difficult. Whenever we had questions or problems, Paul was always willing to come over and look things over and make any changes or adjustments that were necessary. We will continue to use Proficient for all of our heating and plumbing needs and suggest you do, as well.

It went very well and like I said I would not hesitate to call Paul again.
Description of Work: Paul came a fixed a drain pipe on one of our bathtub drains. We thought that the pipe had cracked and was leaking water but when Paul looked at it, it was cracked at all, the pipe had just loosened up and was causing it to leak. He tightened up the pipe and put hangers there to support the pipe. Would definitely use Paul again, he was great.

Paul did an outstanding job in reconstructing my Lavallette home Gas service piping, due to the damages from Superstorm Sandy. He developed a detailed gas piping plan that was efficient and neatly installed between the floor joists in my crawlspace. Upon completion of the gas piping, Paul meticulously cleaned the piping and even painted the pipe treads to prevent rust. Paul is very reliable and is available any time of the day via phone, email or text. He answers all calls, texts and emails immediately. His pricing is very reasonable. He is dependable and arrives on time the day he schedules any work. He takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Proficient Plumbing and Heating for any of your plumbing and heating needs.

Did a great job. Had to come back a second time because we had to finish tile floor. Never complained about going under house. Others that I called, when hearing they had to go into crawl space, either never called back, told me they were too old to do so, or showed up but then never called me back. Had a great attitude and easy to work with.

Paul is punctual and a good communicator. Never had to wait for a return call, he typically answers the phone every day and just about any hour. He keeps his work area contained and clean. All work is performed in a high quality manner and cleans up after he is done. Price is a good value, and very competitive. We have used his services many times, and will continue to do so.

Replacement of shower fixtures wasn't as simple as it sounds. "Paul" did a great job in trying not to damage 50+ year old tiles. He left the job in spotless condition. Very nice young man. Would highly recommend.

I called the night before to confirm the appointment. He showed up and promised to come back with an estimate. He was polite and straighforward, so far, so good.
