PTO Home Service & Repairs

Handyman Services, Plumbing, Drain Cleaning,

About us

Estimates are free. Some plumbing jobs carry a standard price in accordance with National Average for our area. My personalized service as well as problem solving create repeat, trusting customers. It' s about quality, a finished product and fair pricing. Attention to detail in your home is important. I wear many hats as plumbing and carpentry sometimes fall together.. Whether its whole house plumbing, a repair or replacement. The job gets completed and I guarantee my workmanship. Large jobs may require a deposit. Being just one person may cause time constraints as I pace myself. I deal direct with homeowners: No coordinators, no absentee landlords or bank building loans. Final approvals are done by the owner during a walk through. Any coupons are redeemable for services only, not for materials. Sales tax is added as required. I make appointments (leaving a 2 hour window usually on Saturdays) to review the details of a job thus calling back with a price and a start date. Some emergency jobs accepted. if emailing please include address, phone number & some details about the work needed. Prices cannot be given sight unseen. Details are important to assure fair pricing. Hourly rates do not apply. Thank you. Phil O'Brien

It went better than expected. Very professional and basically, at a very reasonable price. He found the leak, fixed the problem, and cleaned up when the work was done. Would confidently recommend Phil and would personally use his services again.

I hired Phil at PTO Home Service and Repair to look into an interesting problem I was having with my basement plumbing. We had our kitchen sink, washer, and two basement sinks draining into a 1 1/2" PVC pie that was going into a cast iron pipe into the ground and when the washer would drain it overflowed the sink. Phil was very responsive, he called me back and was able to come on a Saturday and look at the issue. I knew for this specific problem I was going to need some custom type of work done and Phil was the right person for the job. After the assessment, Phil recommended a fix and scheduled time to come and implement it. He arrived on time and was very professional. After the fix was installed and we tested the washer, unfortunately the problem still existed. I was very impressed at Phil's ability to troubleshoot the issue after the initial work and provide a further suggestion to get the problem fixed "permanently". I could tell that Phil really cared about solving the problem so that I wouldn't have to worry about it in the future. He scheduled a new time to come and implement the fix and on that date also showed up on time, sent me a text to let me know he was on his way and worked all day to get it done. The "permanent" fix that Phil came up with was very creative and I was impressed with the work that was done. The only thing I have to do now is replace the sheetrock in my basement, which shouldn't be too bad. See the attached pictures. I was extremely happy with Phil and PTO Home Service & Repair and would definitely hire him again!

1. Phil repositioned the filter and added ball valves that make changing the filter a breeze, with no mess to clean up. 2. Phil put in ball valves and repositioned them for easy and safe access. With the below zero temperatures we've had this winter, I haven't lost any sleep worrying about those pipes freezing.
Description of Work: 1. I have a whole house water filter that was difficult to get to. And, when I changed the filter, there was always a watery mess. 2. Our shut off valves for our 2 outdoor faucets were not working.

Phil did a decent job with what was done and I would hire him again in a heartbeat. The only problem was that he was supposed to come back and do a few other things, but I never heard from him again. I called him and texted him, but never got a response.

We originally contacted Phil as we were looking to have a gas line installed to our kitchen range location. We had just recently moved into our home and we had other plumbing projects that we weren't ready to tackle as DIYers. We gave Phil a list of everything we wanted done to see if it would fall within our budget. Phil was very prompt in scheduling a visit for an estimate. He emailed us a written estimate within 2 days of the visit. We felt the entire estimate for the scope of work was extremely reasonable so we decided to do everything on our list. Phil spent almost 3 entire days at our house completing the job. You could tell he was taking his time and he cared about doing a good job. He explained everything he was going to do and if he ran into any issues he communicated it to us on how he would solve the problem. On the last day of the job, Phil was finishing up his work and noticed that a shutoff he had installed had a factory defect and was slightly dripping. (I hadn't noticed it yet as it was a very small leak) He made us aware and told us he would be back to replace it in a few days. We decided in that time we wanted a different type of shutoff so he replaced both shutoffs on the same day at no extra charge!! He really wants to make sure his customers are happy. All in all Phil was a joy to work with. We were able to leave him alone in our home while he worked as we ran errands. We enjoyed having conversations with Phil while he worked and he even tolerated my daughter talking his ear off while she played in her basement playroom. He even wished her a "good day at school" when she was getting on the bus in the morning. We are happy we have found a plumber and everyday handyman we can call when we need more work done in the future. Highly recommended. Thanks Phil!!
Description of Work: New gas lines to stove and dryer locations. Replacement of outdoor spigots. Add shutoffs to spigot lines. Remove old bypassed water softener. Install basement utility sink with drainage pump.

I realize that a young family (like yourselves) in a new home, with fresh ideas can be stressful and costly. Also settling into a new neighborhood can call attention to an unscrupulous contractor. If a customer isn't comfortable with somebody, it may be a gut instinct that should be paid attention to. I am genuinely touched by your review and wish you all the best for the future. Keep me in mind for any future projects and regards to my little friend.

Phil did a great job and I appreciate his work. He was polite and kept me in the loop. We were both flexible with each other and the job was great.
Description of Work: Phil and his Son helped me run a gas line and install a furnace in my detached garage. I appreciated every aspect of their service; from the time spent and the attention to detail in Phils estimate to the timeliness and competence shown during the job. The installation was smooth and completed, with quality, per the agreed price. I would recommend Phil for any home improvement job you may have.

He showed up to give me the estimate. Figured out the problem but did not give estimate and said i am cheap. He then set up the appointment for actual work. Called me at around 10 a.m. saying I am sick and can't make it today. Two days later, same thing. Five days later, no response of my message.

With respect I called to inform customer that I was sick with flu and didn't want to spread it to his family. Customer asked me when i will get better???? I paused to think about his question. The flu for a month if you should know. Believe me I didn't want to pass it on. I asked him to call someone else if he was in a rush as I don't have others to work for me.
