The leak is fixed, the zone valve works now and I guess the expansion tank is working properly now. The cost for this work seemed somewhat excessive since the original cost estimate for the return visit was for less than $300.
Description of Work: One of the zone valves in my hot water baseboard heating system stopped working. The plumbers replaced the valve and were successful in adapting a new style valve to my 20 y.o. system. They also performed a system evaluation where it was discovered that the expansion tank was leaking. The total for this visit was $284. I scheduled a return trip to replace the tank and to fix a small leak near the boiler. The return visit took a fair amount of time to fix the leak. Total for that visit was $535.

The technician arrived on schedule and in one day had the new furnace operating with minimal inconvenience. A team completed the electrical and all other work the following day. I had a follow up meeting to learn everything I needed to know about the system. Everything was left in clean condition as promised.
Description of Work: Converted swamp cooler to air conditioning. (Included new furnace and removal of all old parts.)

This was a very bad experience. I got super overcharged. They did a good enough job, but they took forever and they doubled the estimate by the time they were done. There were some problems at the end. My gas was turned off. A heater had to be installed. The plumber didn't stay long enough to turn everything back on. He said the guy who puts in the meter from the gas company is supposed to do that. The gas company comes and brings the meter, and says that isn't their job, it's the plumber's. Then I had to go round and round to get the plumber back. This was in December, and it was very cold. I have two disabled children, and we'd been in the cold for like four or five days, and he's refusing to come back to turn things on for me. He finally did. I will never, ever, ever use that company again.
Description of Work: They re-piped my gas line.

The two man crew (they were very friendly and easy to talk to) showed up on time when the job was scheduled and they wasted no time in removing the old undersized 1940 metal pipes. The new pipes were installed with the workman being very precise to get the proper slope on the new pipes. Three new vent pipes (washer, tub, & sink) were installed where there were no vent pipes previously. Three new pipes was roughed in for a new bath room to be installed for a new addition to the house. Two new clean outs were installed on the main sewer pipe where there were none before. After all of the new pipes were in place a pressure check was ran and it showed there were no leaks. The job was inspected by the city and passed with no corrections (the inspector issued a green tag). The work crew removed all of the old metal pipes from under the house and also removed a pile of broken cinder blocks (cinder blocks was used to form the old crawl entrance) and trash from my yard. All of the disturbed dirt was put back in place before the crew departed. The new sewer system works fantastic and I am completely satisfied with the job.
Description of Work: Evan, promptly came out and gave me a bid to replumb the entire sewer system and stub in for a new bathroom in PVC under my house. His bid was the lowest of four bids. The next bid was only $108 higher.

He came out and cleaned out the drains in a rental property. People put all sorts of things down drains and he did a great job being quick and efficient. I had a gate valve that needed replacing and they did that for me. I had a tree stump in my yard and I had no way of getting it out and I called TLC because I remembered they had a back hoe. It is by no means their specialty but they came out and helped me out. They took out the stump for only $102 and it looks great. They did a great job and everything turned out fine. I would highly recommend this company for everything plumbing wise. Their prices are always very competitive and the quality of their work is very high. They do a superb job and their reputation is very good especially with the city. They always do a great job and their prices are very fair. They need to do the job quickly when they are in rentals and they do just that. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We have used them for plumbing jobs for over 20 years. The have done gas line work and have cleaned out some drains in a lot of our rentals. They replaced a gate valve for my sprinklers. They also removed a tree stump for me out of my yard.

The technical expertise was not in question. He quickly isolated and fixed the problem. I was, however, extremely dissatisfied with the arrival time. But, since I did not have any scheduling conflicts, I did not cancel the appointment, request a discount, etc. Also, he did leave some fingerprints on the toilet which have not been easy to clean off. Other than that, he did a good job cleaning up after work.
Description of Work: My toilet would leak water between the tank and the bowl whenever I flushed, so I called TLC over after seeing them on this list. They gave me an 8-10 am window for service and told me they would call me prior to arrival. I did not receive a call until 9:50 and the plumber did not arrive until 10:30. Fortunately, I did not have anything else pressing, so I kept the appointment. He quickly disassembled the tank and found that a gasket had deteriorated. He replaced it, put everything back together and it now works great.

Having been unable to install my kitchen faucet myself because of a broken shut off valve and the inability to turn off the main valve to my house, I called TLC at 8:00 AM. A plumber arrived at 11:30 that morning. He was professional, pleasant, and had the problems solved in an hour.
Description of Work: The plumber turned off the water valve at the street, which I was unable to do. He replaced the broken cold water valve at the kitchen sink and I agreed that the aging hot water valve should be replaced also. He replaced 2 mesh connecting pipes. After removing my old kitchen faucet he installed the new one which I had already purchased.

It went well and the guys were nice. I did feel that the labor costs were extremely high. The guy that did most of the manual labor got $40.00 less per hour than the one that mostly visited with me. I found out that this is the job for everyone. You shouldn't have to work too many hours to make an excellent living. HA? The parts for this job were only a little over $310.00 and the rest was for labor. It was not an emergency job either. I would suggest shopping around first. My mistake not asking for an estimate before work was done. BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!
Description of Work: Installed a pressure valve on water supply and emptied and checked water heater.

I haven't gotten all the plumbing modifications done yet but so far so good. Pete called me at my request and made an appointment to generate an estimate. He gave me his price and upon my approval did the work the next day. Starting first thing in the morning Pete and his assistant worked till about noon and were finished.
Description of Work: Disconnected and capped off the old kitchen plumbing and refitted with 2" PVC. Drilled through the kitchen floor in two places (kitchen sink and washing machine)and mounted an exterior vent pipe.

I wasn't home but, my husband was working from home when he came over. He quickly replaced the thermostat with a new programmable one (I think we got overcharged for the actual thermostat and would have liked to have picked out the thermostat myself, but given the urgency of the situation, it didn't bother me too much not to have a choice). The bathroom repair was more problematic because I didn't realize that he would have to access the pipes in the wall. My husband didn't know what to do, so he called me and the repairman was happy to get on the phone and discuss the options. I let him know I was fine with him going through the wall, but I didn't want any of the tile on the shower side broken. He said ok, and he would call back when he knew more. He called back in a little while to let me know that he wouldn't be able to guarantee no tiles being broken, so he wasn't comfortable with doing the job. He did have a replacement faucet in his truck that would work to fix the broken valve, so he ended up replacing just that part, and I returned the other parts I had bought.
Description of Work: We called TLC to have a specialist (who could do both plumbing and heating) due to 2 problems. Our thermostat had gone haywire the previous day and I came home from work to a house that was probably 90 degrees (both our dogs were literally hot dogs). The other issue was an ongoing leaky valve in the tub faucet (the valve that diverts water to the shower head instead of the faucet was not functioning well, so there was low water pressure out of the shower head and water being wasted out of the faucet). I bought a replacement shower head, faucet, and knobs for the tub for the repairman to install.

The experience was easy and drama free. The plumber showed up when he was scheduled to (though the times they give for appointments are broad, like between 12 and 3)and finished the work in about an hour.
Description of Work: We had to replace the water line hook-ups for our washing machine. He replaced both hot and cold water pipes and valves.

They sent Efraim to fix it. He climbed up, fixed it, and left. He thought that the problem was actually due to our pipes starting to corrode and recommended a more thorough checkup in the future. We haven't been able to follow through with that yet (do we really want to know if there is a $4000 job lurking under our front yard...?) but we will definitely call them back. TLC Plumbing was extremely knowledgeable and responsive. And did I mention they came out on Memorial Day??
Description of Work: We called TLC on Memorial Day (!!) to help fix a overflowing toilet. We had already tried fixing it ourselves (we are normally handy) and even had rented a snake from Home Depot, but couldn't get it to flush. We had company staying over so we needed the working toilet, and were very happy to find out that TLC would be able to send someone that day! They asked us a few questions over the phone to give us a price estimate. (Mainly to get the details of the problem and find out where our drain access was and how high our house was since it was on the roof.)

We were very happy with TLC's responsiveness, professionalism, and pricing for the heater evaluation. I marked the low grade for "responsiveness" above because of their responsiveness once we called them for an estimate of the furnace replacement. Even for that, they came out right away and were extremely prompt. BUT when we tried to ask for figures about what KIND of heater they were going to put in, they couldn't tell us. Since this project was going to be a few thousand dollars, we were pricing out a few different companies and their heaters. But TLC couldn't even give us the figures on the furnace they planned to put in, they could only tell us how much they were going to charge. They did finally call back after a few days, but since it was October already, I was in a hurry and had already agreed to go with another company.
Description of Work: We hired TLC to come out to our home in October 2007 to evaluate the condition of the furnace, which was of unknown age/origins since we had bought the house a few years earlier. TLC discovered a small CO leak from a crack in the furnace and disabled the furnace as required by law.

Aside from showing up almost an hour later than advised, and the helper leaving trash (candy wrapper, etc.) in our garage, it went very well. Ron set up our expectations accurately at the beginning as to the time and the tasks involved. They were polite, professional, clean and clearly knew what they were doing. They always knocked before re-entering the house, were sensitive to dirt and clean-up and exhibited basic professional courtesy, which is sometimes lacking in service people. When we called his cell phone (as he asked that we do) to advise him that the leak in the garage unit continued, Ron was just a professional and scheduled a time the next day to come by to fix it. We were very pleased!
Description of Work: Ron Jones with TLC came with a helper to install our reverse osmosis system for the house as well as an under-sink filter for the kitchen. It was about an 8-hour job, starting under the sink in the kitchen. The rest of the work occurred in the garage - and that part was leaky after they left, but Ron was prompt in coming back to re-do some of the piping.
