When I made the appointment I was clear about what needed to be done, so I expected the plumber to bring the parts needed. He was at my home for 3 1/2 hours, mostly waiting for parts. By the time I get the drywall repaired I will have paid more for the valves than the washing machine. For the record, the plumbing work seemed to take very little time and was fine. But I will never call Rakeman again.

Website says free estimate, they told me that is wrong, they don't do free estimates any more, it would be 185.00 to come look and then they would give an estimate.

Response from Rakeman Plumbing
We apologize for the misrepresentation from our website, places where it says "Free" estimates should be removed by next week. We do charge a $45.00 estimate fee, but it is waived if the estimate is accepted and the work preformed while on-site. The $45.00 does not include testing water heaters,using sewer cameras or using tools to determine the repair needed. If you were quoted $185.00, that price is the first hour fee to diagnose water heater and repairing it using tools. The required parts will be extra or possibly free if they are still covered under warranty. Our apologies.

Everything went well. Eric reviewed with me everything that had been corrected and demonstrated it for me. Only snafu was that the air in the recirculating pump at the hot water heater hadn't been purged so it was making a loud noise. After notifying them of this fact, they came back the same day and corrected the situation. I trust Rakeman and all of its staff implicitly. That is a very comforting feeling, indeed!
Description of Work: 1. Replaced hot and cold water valves to washing machine. 2. Disconnected from cold water line under kitchen sink the instant boiling water unit and the reverse osmosis unit. Both were leaking.

Gene from Rakeman Plumbing did a great job and repaired our toilet and also replaced the parts inside the tank. He took out the two old wax rings (which were incorrectly placed--a new one over an old one by a different plumbing company). He correctly used 2 brand new wax rings and now the toilet works fine and is nice and solid! Thank you!

Response from Rakeman Plumbing
We apologize for the miscommunication. We do charge $35.00 for the estimate, but it is refunded back to you if you accept the estimate while onsite. The $35.00 is to cover the expenses that is takes to do the estimate, labor, fuel, insurance etc. and helps determine how serious the customer is wanting the work to be done.

Service was excellent. Dawn, the person who took my call, was extremely helpful. She scheduled a service between 8 - 12 pm on the day that I requested but told me that since there were a lot of service requests on the same day, there was no guarantee that my service would be completed in the morning time frame. On the day of, Dawn called me a little bit after 8 am and asked if it was okay for her to send the technician, Corky, over. Corky arrived and was very professional and fast. I wasn't expecting service to be completed until later in the afternoon since they were so busy so I am extremely pleased that it was done sooner than expected. I will continue to use Rakeman for all my plumbing needs.

Rakeman were very prompt in response to my call and the job was completed and is satisfactory. The plumber they sent was a bit on the gruff side from the minute he walked in the door. Unfortunately I had a visitor and was not able to devote 100% of my time observing the installation. There was a Reverse Osmosis system which has not leaked since 2015. It was not leaking prior to the installation. When the plumber was finished he noted on the work order that the R/O was leaking in many places so it was left turned off. Sure enough the R/O was leaking at many of the connections when I turned the supply to the R.O back on. Not sure what he did to the connections. He offered to "fix it" and I told him I would do it. Clearly he had stressed the connectors (which incidentally he commented upon arrival that he did not like...) by pulling or tensioning the various 1/4 " lines. Not a huge problem, but I spent an hour of my time this morning repairing the issues. Had the plumber been a bit more cautious with the unit, there would not have been any problem. They are easy to disconnect and move out of the way. Will I have them back again. Yes, but I will be present 100% of the time watching what goes on. It is important to not do damage during a repair/replacement.

Very badly. The technician they sent to replace our toilets did not prep any of our old toilets properly so that they did not drain toilet water all over our carpets. With the first removal upstairs on the carpeted surface, the technician drained dirty brown toilet water all over our carpets. And on the second toilet removal upstairs, instead of learning from his first mistake he simply carried on as if my house did not mean a thing to him and proceeded to carry (unprotected!) a second toilet down a hallway and set of stairs to the main floor tiled surface. The problem with this second one is that it was filled with blue dye!!! I chose this company because they had a high rating with Angie's list. I was completely shocked by their work ethic. I cannot recommend their services to anyone. Ever.

WOW, I am super surprised that you left this type of review after i spend a lot of time and multiple phone calls on the phone talking to you about this. My technician made a very bad mistake and Rakeman Plumbing stood behind his work. 1st, we sent multiple people to try to clean the carpet and then we paid to replace the carpet. Yes me made a mistake, and I know that it took time away from you, but in the end we did the right thing and took care of it, as we should have. WOW, I am very disappointed by this review.

Beware! This is a very untrustworthy company that charges more than quoted for the job. Plus, they refused to apply my Angie's List coupon of 15% off for the job. When I initially contacted the company I described to the dispatcher that I wanted them to replace a sensor on the water heater because it was displaying a fault code that indicated it needed replacement. The dispatcher quoted me a price of $175 labor (for 1 hour) plus the cost of the sensor and I agreed to that price and gave her my credit card information over the phone. When the plumber arrived at the job site he informed me that he didn't have the sensor with him so he had to have it delivered by a different person. The delivery took an additional 30 minutes. Since I was not present when the plumber finished the work I didn't learn until later that I was charged an additional $87.50 for the delivery time and to add insult to injury they never applied my 15% discount from Angie's List. I immediately contacted the owner to get a refund of the overcharged amount and she was entirely unsympathetic and refused to adjust the price.

They were fine. It is just that they could not provide me the water heater that I wanted in the time I specified. They are a good company. We just had a little disagreement on when I can get it done. Their price was like everybody else. I do not think that they are higher or lower. They do not give me any breaks. Their responsiveness was good.

The plumber looked at the sink faucet and determined that it was a loose connection. He tightened the fixture and tested to make sure the leak had stopped. Since it was a minor adjustment, he did not charge me for looking at the faucet. Looking at my natural gas stub, it turned out he needed an extra part. He was able to get the part within 30 minutes, return and complete the install.
