He is not a guy who does not do a really fine job but he is very professional and he comes quickly. I saw a woman who complained about him but I think there was nothing that he did incorrectly. He has always been terrific with us. He is not a back stabber and a gabber. He is a very serious guy. There are also very nice people looking for him. He is always prompt because usually a plumbing issue is an emergency. The two I have seen that work for him are terrific. I have known them for many years and they have taken care of us very well. He is a very quiet guy himself but I like him and I will give him good recommendations.

It all went smoothly, and everything was done over a couple of days. No complaints as of yet.
Description of Work: TW Plumbing did many things at our house. They recreated the bathtub faucet and spout with ceramic inserts since our faucet was about to break for the 3rd time. They properly connected our dishwasher and vented the kitchen sink since it was always clogging. They properly connected the sump pump so that it doesn't drain into the sewer line. They replaced our hot water heater with a slightly larger one. And they called in chimney liner people to put in a liner since we had none and the inside was starting to crumble. They also called in trench people so that the sump pump could drain properly into the ground.

Timothy Walker himself did the job. He has other workers that do other jobs for him, but he personally did it. Very honest, and a man of his word. He is a man of a few words, and not a friendly person but great work ethic. While on vacation, there was an issue with the boiler, and he responded in the evening and honored his warranty. I will use him for other jobs as required. R.Torres Cliffside Park, NJ

Call them and setup an appointment. They turn up on time and start checking leak into living room. After cutting holes in the ceiling and shower booth, they found the riser leaking to shower head. They replaced a section of the pipe and advised us to stop using the shower for 1 week. All in all, it took them less than an hour to spot and make the fix. Very professional and would use them again.

In April Tim Walker came to my home for a consultation. He took measurements, and said that an estimate would be emailed to me within a week or so. After approximately two weeks, I had yet to receive anything. I called and spoke to a female who stated that she would contact Mr. Walker and would have the proposal emailed to me as soon as possible. Again, another week went by and nothing. I called once again and spoke to Mr. Walker, and then I finally received a proposal for approximately $15,000 worth of work. After getting a few estimates, installing a new A/C unit with all new vents, and closing up all my old forced hot air vents, I decided to go with Mr. Walker and his company to do the work. I gave him a phone call a few weeks ago to notify him that I was excited to have him install my new heating system, and he informed me that he would not be able to start until mid to late September. I was okay with that start time, and I informed him that as long as it was installed before the heating season then it would be fine. I was instructed to sign the proposal and mail it back to him which I did. Approximately a week later, Mr. Walker called me back and stated that he would not be able to start the job until late October at the earliest. His demeanor was basically one that did not want to do the job and he was looking for any excuse not to do it. How does someone in business estimate a start time a month out, and then a week later realize that they have to push it back another month!? This was an obvious attempt to push the job off. I don't know of any company that would turn down a $15,000 job. He then told me that I should probably find someone else to do the job, and "good luck." Nice way to leave me hanging right before the Fall. The company was extremely unprofessional, and I would NOT recommend using them for any plumbing or heating needs unless you want to be left hung out to dry.
Description of Work: Tim Walker was recommended to me for plumbing and heating, so I decided to give him a call. I recently did a huge renovation to my home and removed the old forced hot air heating system to prepare to have a new hot water baseboard heating system installed.

Response from Timothy J Walker Plumbing & Heating
I am sorry that we were not able to guarantee his heat replacement with a new boiler and approximately 200 feet of baseboard before heating season, contrary to what he wrote I was not unprofessional but honest. My company can do so many boiler replacements a week and I will not lead someone on when I honestly know my timeframe will not fit within their expectation. I did not “turn down a $15,000 job”; I knew this job would require a week to do, this is more than replacing a boiler and I will not over commit- how unhappy would he be when I called to push him into late October in the end of September? Our records show we gave him the proposal on 3/12/13 and after speaking in August he signed and mailed back mid-August. Our boiler replacements are put on the schedule as signed proposals are received and my current workload extended my schedule into late October.

I had a bad experience with a previous plumber who just walked away saying he couldn't repair the back-up situation (not from Angie's list) I have a disabled Mom and we couldn't wait for regular working hours to correct the back-ed up situation. I called Tim Walker & his guys came within 2 hours (it was a late Sunday night), and cleaned it right out. They were so professional - just told me not to worry it was their job to take care of it and they would. Didn't ask for payment - got billed a month later. I was completely impressed - and happy I found Tim Walker through Angie's.

I contacted this firm to replace a basement water shut-off value and outside spiget, which both leaked. I left a voicemail and was immediately called back and an appointment was made for the following morning. Two individuals showed up, were very professional, polite and and respectful of my home. After they completed the job I had called about, I also asked them to look at my bathtub faucet which had been leaking. They fixed this leak by replacing the cartridge. They were in and out within an hour for both jobs and I am very pleased with the results. I would definitely hire this company again. They were professional, did excellent work and their fee was reasonable.

I noticed when I took a shower in the bathroom on the first floor, the slop sink the basement would fill up with water. This lead us to believe that the main sewer line was clogged. We bought an auger and tried snaking the main line - which would help for a day or two - but the problem would keep coming back. Based on Angie's List reviews, I contacted Timothy J Walker Plumbing and made an appointment. Everything went great from start to finish. When I got invoice, I thought the fee was fair and reasonable. And the work performed was done thoroughly. It's now almost 6 months later and the problem never came back. I would definitely call Timothy J Walker Plumbing again in the future. Thanks!

We developed a problem with waste water not exiting the drains. This happened late in the evening and we had guests, so it was a real emergency. I checked Angie's List for someone close who could clear the drains and had great ratings. I called Timothy J Walker after business hours. I was grateful to get a response and a promise of service at 8:30 next morning. Two people arrived promptly, did the job quickly, and were very professional though taciturn. I was very happy with the job though it was a little pricey for such a short time. All in all, though, the service was terrific and the company is very reliable.
