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

Description of Work: Came to the house to give us an estimate. Seemed nice, even tightened a leaky valve for us. Then he took tons of pictures and now we have never heard back from him. Not sure what happened, but I certainly cannot recommend.

Description of Work: Contacted them for an estimate and was told they would call me back to schedule a time.This was five weeks ago and I haven't heard from them. Obviously it was a major turn-off. I am reluctant to consider this company going forward.

In searching back in my records you are correct. It is a very, very busy time and something did get overlooked. It's rare that I don't respond but I'm always compelled to respond to a review as it can be detrimental on my reputation. At this time I am very booked and we would be looking at work possibly in September 2015. I'm sorry for your dissatisfaction. Angie's List is a successful means of advertising and keeps everyone busy. Have a nice day sir and I hope you found someone who can meet your needs.

Description of Work: Replaced water heater (and took old one away). The water heater was not draining well, but Phil dealt with the problem and kept moving. Phil laid cardboard down so as to not mark up the floor. He worked efficiently and got the job done in a few hours. Phil was personable and easy to get along with.

In trying to wrap my head around this review, the customer seemed happy and satisfied with the quality and time frame of work. If it was a time issue you cannot rush carpentry without having mishaps or even an accident. Everything was protected and we ended with full payment and a handshake so I just don't get it. All was discussed and approved. It was even left prepared for the customer and son to paint. I always confront reviews especially if it seems confusing. Sorry for any dissatisfaction as I believe we communicated well at the time.

To put it simple I was not interested in taking on the job (as your previous contractor). Two wrongs don't make it right and calling you back slipped through the cracks as I have many calls each evening and try to respond to all. No work was done! Usually people are looking for quotes from a number of contractors and decide from there. Honestly. I will suggest you call a chimney specialist to handle the fireplace situation. It's marble and tile and would be best for a professional in that field to do the job. I'm not in the habit of doing shoddy work or possibly stepping on the toes of a good granite or marble company. Sorry on the non-call back in a timely fashion.

Description of Work: Phil O'Brien (P.T.O.Home Service & Repairs) helped us to contact the faucet manufactuter and we received a new faucet under warranty. He repaired the leaking kitchen faucet which took several hours due to an initial faulty installation of the faucet in our granite countertop. Great job. Took patience and skill. Phil was pleasant and professional. We felt the job was worth more than he charged so we paid him more.

Member. I'll admit at first I wasn't too sure but I'm very persistant as you gathered. I may not win a lottery but I make sure I win battles that are challanging. You are a pleasure to work for and your generousity is so appreciated as is this review. I know you have future work on the way so please do call when ready. Again thank you.

Description of Work: I contacted the firm to replace rotted trim above my garage door. The owner came to evaluate the job and provided an estimate . I agreed to the terms and was given a start date. The owner cancelled because of an emergency job then cancelled because of bad weather. I advised him that I would be going on vacation and would contact him to reshedule when I returned. I e-mailed him when I returned asking to reschedule my job but never heard from him again.
