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

I had new kitchen cabinets put in with the new sink and new kitchen countertop.

Phil did a phenomenal job of doing all the work and identifying quick fixes that made things effective efficient and affordable. I'm having more work done by Phil because he is so good I would highly recommend his services but plan in advance because he is so much in demand because of his qualifications and his good service.

Phil was excellent. He responded quickly when I issued the request on Angie's list and came over the view the work the same day. He scheduled an appointment the following Monday and was there on time. He repaired the leak at the cost he stated and worked late to ensure the job was done. Frankly, I was amazed at this level of service and strongly recommend for your plumbing needs.

Phil did an awesome job, he's totally recommended. When he came over for an estimate he figured out the issues and he tightened a leaky outdoor hose spigot for free before he left. He called with a very reasonable price and came over and replaced 2 leaky and very corroded input pipes to the toilets with new pipes and valves at the toilets and pex down in the basement with valves. On the way out he tightened another outdoor spigot. No hassle, good price, new pipes, leaks gone, what else can you ask for?

Phil was just a pleasure to have at the house. He was running a little late for our appointment but called me to let me know. I had to leave the house while he was there and when I returned, the work had been done, everything picked up and spotless. He had to come back to connect the new stove when it came, and it took very little time. He's professional, respectful of my time, and charges a very fair price. I would have him back again in a heartbeat!

The new door looks great. I was very pleased with the contractor's work and work ethics. He caulked every seam and used insulating foam to ensure it well weatherproofed. Everything looks and works well.I would recommend him in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: The contractor removed and replaced a side door to my garage. The door was wooden and rotten. Being retired, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I purchased a new steel entry door from Lowe's. The contractor was kind enough to pick up the new door and made sure the door was free of any damages.

The job was difficult and required the contractor to cut off the original faucets. In addition, he had to cut off some of the drain pipes because they too were corroded. He was patient and his work was clean. He's truly a professional. I would recommend him in a minute.

called him late morning and he returned my call within 15 minutes. He stopped by between jobs to see what would need to be done. At the time i had water all over the kitchen since it was leaking badly from under the sink and the kitchen was flooded. Phil knew almost immediately what was needed. He gave me an estimate and said he would be back between 2 and 3. He was back at 3 and by 5 everything was done including cleanup, and at the agreed price. I would definitely use him again and would reccomend him highly.

Thank you very much for the fine review. You are wonderful people and I'm happy to have you as dedicated customers.
This project went flawlessly from start to finish. Phil made sure to discuss all the details as I walked him through everything I needed. He was extremely prompt and made the most out of each day he worked. He has an assured demeanor and is a great communicator. After years of frustration attempting to find a good handyman, my search has ended. Phil is it!

Phil came for an estimate ahead of time and then scheduled the job. He arrived, set to work, and explained the various tasks when I asked questions. He was pleasant, professional, and focused on the job. We discussed one decision re: the dryer vent pipe in terms that were understandable to a non-handy person. I was happy to have found him, and the price for all the work was very reasonable. I've already recommended him to a co-worker.

They did a good job but they didn’t finish some details. I can’t tell if they didn’t do it at the same time. My mistake was that I didn’t sign a contract with them because I had a problem before with other companies. He was polite and told us to do what he could do to fix the mistakes. We were excited about it. He told us that he will come the following day to start the job. He came to do the work but he didn’t finish the details on the floor. I asked him about it and he said he will be back because he had a problem with his son. I told him it was okay and I gave him an amount of money. He just needed to put the bolt because we made a bigger entrance on the kitchen. There were some holes on the floor and he would need to close those. He didn’t come back on Monday because that’s what he said he would come back. I called him on Wednesday and Friday but he didn’t answer. I left him a message and I sent him texts but he didn’t answer them. I called again and somebody picked the phone up. I told the person that I am a customer told me that he will tell Phil about it. But he did not call me back. I told my experience to my neighbor and she told me she had some experience with him, too. She wanted to use him again but he never came ut to take a look at the job or call her back.

Work was never done for a neighbor on that street by me or anyone affiliated with my name. Contractors before me had worked this older home and we had continued making corrections per the customers request, personal designs and idea's. Need I say satisfaction was not reached as indecisiveness was an issue. Nice in general but there's a reason other contractors walked off. My apologies for dissatisfaction.

It appeared the job was going to be to remove about 6 rows of cedar siding. However, once that was removed it was evident there was some underlying damage to plywood and 2x4's and a sill plate, caused by water and carpenter ants. Phil and his assistant carefully piecemeal removed and replaced the damaged wood. There was a large window over the damaged area, and they improvised some supports to hold everything while pieces were replaced. It is in a time like this that you really appreciate having an experienced handyman. After replacing all the wood, they put in flashing, built a sill for the window, and silicone caulked the spacing under each layer of cedar siding. This was all very carefully and skillfully done. Phil is very good at looking at a complex problem and finding a good solution for it. As for timing of the job, it took almost 2 months from job estimate to the start of the job - he's pretty well booked up. But once he started, he always called to let us know when he would next be there (e.g., rain).

It went GREAT. Angie offered a Deal $739 for a New Natural Gas Replacement Water Heater Installation (Brand American) , I grabbed it and was contacted by PTO Home Service and Repairs early Monday morning. Phil O'Brien, Owner was at my home to look at my water heater at 11:00 AM. He actually was able to start it up. However, I explained that I wanted it replaced as I was going on vacation, and the unit was 17 yrs. old. It was time. He did point out to me that I indeed have a PowerVent, which, was excluded in Angie's write up, and I agreed. He spoke to his distributor and got a price for the PowerVent. He informed me that it would be an additional $500.00. He was able to do the work on Wednesday, but something came up with me, and was able to get it installed Thursday. I had my furnace cleaned 6 weeks prior, and I had my furnace man give me an estimate as my water heater was acting up, which was higher by approx. $$350. Phil O'Brien was was very professional, punctual, friendly, appeared to be honest, and got the job done in timely manner. I'm happy, and will definitely use PTO Home Service and Repairs for any of my plumbing needs in the future.. Great doing business with Phil O'Brian, and Thanks Angieslist. You make things easy to get accomplished.

Phil was very busy and could not get back to me with a date to unclog my drain for a couple of days. I had standing water in my sink and could not use it so I had to call in another plumber to take care of it. Phil explained that he had an employee quit while he was on vacation and he has just been overloaded with his current jobs. He apologized for not getting back to me sooner. We agreed that he would refund the money for the coupon as I used someone else.

Phil and his employee arrived on time ready to work. My front porch was in need of more repair than first apppeared. However PTO was up for the challenge and did not let this deter them from the job at hand. It was a very warm day and the sun beamed down on them for most of it. In spite of these obstacles PTO did a excelllent job. My porch looks brand new again.
