Family owned & operated over 30 years. Fully licensed and bonded. No job too small. Specializing in repair work, installations of fixtures, hot water heaters, sump pumps, frozen pipes thawed & repairded, leaks, etc . Owner is a Vietnam Veteran.
This firm needs to get their act together from a customer relationship standpoint. It took 3 separate calls to finally reach someone that works for Affordable Plumbing. The reason for this is that they use an answering service which does a good job taking your information, but this does not translate to a callback to the customer. Finally on my final attempt I was told they would call me right back...which they finally did. Unfortunately, this did not help my cause. As this firm has unusual times they work. For example, only in the mornings during weekdays. Nothing can be booked in the afternoon. Also nothing on Saturdays in the summer, even if it is an emergency. To be fair, this firm was one of five firms in my area that had good ratings, hence I reached out to them. But honestly, business must be pretty good, and they are not eager for work to the point they turn it down when not convenient for them. My perspective is that you nurture and maintain strong relationships with your vendors and these guys failed in customer relations 101. I would work with any of the other firms that have high ratings but show more interest in their customers.
Description of Work: Multiple calls to this vendor to get someone to look at a valve that was leaking in my basement tied to my sprinkler system (confirmed this work is done by plumbers and not sprinkler companies which normally work outside the home)

I have had a good experience with them. They took care of it quickly and it was done pretty quickly, I have not had a problem with it. They did it correctly. They were very polite. They were professional and knowledgeable about plumbing. They gave me advice about other things too in the house.
Description of Work: Affordable Plumbing came in for two reasons; one they came to hookup a pipe to the waterline in my kitchen for the refrigerator ice maker. They also came back about several months later to fix some pipes in my bathrooms sinks also. They replaced some parts of the pipe that were leaking.

The work was done professionally and they painted the expose new pipes. I don;t have any comparison basis for the price but thought it is fair for 1 hour of work for two people. They had to add a two foot section but needed to put in some effort to fit two ends of existing plumbing.
Description of Work: The company is a father and son operation. They came on time to give an estimate for exterior gas meter hook up to the pool. I decided to have the work done right away to away another appointment.

I called Affordable Plumbing and they returned my call immediately. Father and son were at my home within an hour of speaking to them on the phone. They gave me a price quote and we scheduled the work to be done. Two days later they were on time and completed all the work in a timely matter. I was very happy with their work and will be hiring them again in the future.

I was alerted to a slow leak in the 2nd floor plumbing when the dining room chandelier fell on the dining table. The sheet rock on the ceiling was damp and soft. I removed the damp section and found a very slow leak in a water pipe right up against the 2nd floor DWV. I called Affordable. They called back shortly and we arranged for them to come first thing in the morning. They arrived on time, found the problem and used a new technique for sweating joints that didn't require an open flame near the plastic DWV pipe. They also corrected a problem with the pipe support that may have contributed to the problem. This is the second time I have used Affordable and would certainly use them again.
Description of Work: Section of copper water pipe was replaced and supports were added.

I called this plumber to finish up some rennovation work we had going on. Although he returned my call promptly and was nice on the phone, he told me they dont fix baseboard heat and I would be better off getting someone closer to me for the other work. Thought that was a bit odd since I'm only 15 minutes from his home office. Sounded like he just wasn't interested in the work...Waste of my time.

I had a leak in my 1st floor ceiling coming from the 2nd floor master bath. I called Dan and Dan (father and son) @ 8:30 AM. They called back 5 minutes later, said they were on the way to another job and would come to me right after. They were in my house before 11 AM. I showed them the situation. They guessed correctly where the leak was coming from. They had to cut a hole in my ceiling but it was only one and not to big to have to patch up later. They replaced the piece of leaking pipe and were done in less than 90 minutes. Both father and son were polite and friendly to talk to. I've used other services in the past but will use Affordable anytime going forward.
Description of Work: Excellent response and service

Called Affordable Plumbing for an estimate on a new hot water heater. They came two days later as promised and gave me a price on the spot...They had to order the hot water heater but picked it up that day. Had to cut the old one down so they could get it out of the cellar (quite a job) and then replaced it with the new one...They gave me sound advice, good service and were just two great guys to work with! My husband and I are happy customers that will use them again!
Description of Work: This father and son team was great to work with, down to earth, up front and hard working. They took away my old hot water heater and replaced it with a new one that was top of the line...They took the old one out (which was quite a job since it was too big for the cellar and needed to be cut in order to remove). They had me up and running the same day...Good guys...good to work with and I would definitely use them again! They weren't the cheapest in the market but they were fair...the higher price was worth it for the service I received!!!

Overall our experience with Dan and his his son could not have gone any better. They responded quickly to our request for help and then did a professional job at a competitive price.
Description of Work: Our piping underneath our kithchen sink starting leaking. After looking at it myself I realized that the piping which had been there for 12 years probably needed to be replaced. I called Dan and spoke to him on Monday. He offered to come first thing Wednesday morning. Dan came with his son and then suggested the piping and drain be replaced. The parts were on their truck and less the 30 minutes later they replaced the drain and all the piping underneath our kitchen sink. Dan and his son were professional and very nice people. We would not hesitate to use them or refer them to our neighbors.

Dan and Dan were very professional, thorough and considerate. They spent a good deal of time assuring that the problem was addressed prior to leaving (until they were comfortable). They made it clear to me the if the problem did come back, they would be back to address at no charge. This was not necessary as the fix applied was effective...but appreciated the guarantee. Their pricing was very fair. I really felt comfortable with the entire experience and will be using Affordable Plumbing for all of my plumbing needs in the future. Quality in service is evident with these guys.

The work was done very professionally and took just over an hour. They were very courteous, took time to explain the work before and after the job.
Description of Work: This owner operated business by father and son is great. I needed to reconnect by pool heater line after gas company removed the separate meter. The gas company had upgraded the existing house meter to a larger capacity unit and modified the exterior plumbing around it last week. I contacted Affordable after reading favorite reviews on Angie's. Dan came by his son (Dan Jr) to give me a quote and able to do the job right away, which was a big plus.
