I have been using them for years and I used to go through Richard. They always stood behind their work. Richard has retired and the new guy is Bob. He has given an attitude with me asking them to come back out to fix the toilet they had installed. It was crooked and I wanted him to redo it. Bob kept talking over me and would not let me get a word in. I moved on to talk to the owner who had Bob come out to correct the problem. Because of Bob's overall behavior being very unprofessional, I will not use them again.
Description of Work: They installed a new toilet.

Jon was punctual, thorough, + communicative. The drain problem took longer than expected and when i mentioned i had an another appt that perhaps I should reschedule, he suggested i wait. Not 10 minutes later a 2nd plumber, Scott, arrived to work on the bathroom tub drain so that Jon could finish the basement project and so I could make my appt. i have hired several plumbers over the last few years with varying results and will always call Ed Young's in the future. Although more expensive than other plumbers, the quality and professionalism of Ed Young's Plumbing is unsurpassed.
Description of Work: My basement sink was backed up which required pumping out main line (sanitary sewer line) from basement trap. 1st floor bathtub was also clogged due to freezing temperatures.

The workers were courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. They finished the work on schedule and cleaned up thoroughly. The cost was as estimated. They had to snake a drain line to complete the task even though that was not known at the time the estimate was given. They did so for a reasonable cost and it did not prevent them from finishing on time.
Description of Work: I got an estimate for installing a sump pump. Their estimate was competitive. I hired Ed Young's to install the pump based on their reputation and estimated cost.

I contacted them because I used to feel they were reliable. A plumber came to my home on 5/18 for a plumbing estimate. He took pictures of the area and said we would have the estimate either later that day or the next day. A week later still no estimate,so I called again. The gentleman I spoke to told me we would have the estimate later that day. It's now been two weeks and still no estimate. . I won't be calling a third time.
Description of Work: I wanted an estimate for a sump pump, pit, hot water tank, and possibly a new tub.

They were pretty reasonable. I checked with other places and they were the most reasonable. They were really good. They were here right away. They were very professional, nice and clean. Their representative was dressed nicely and professionally. The installer was very nice and helpful. They explained everything that they were going to do and how long it was going to take; they were right on all of it. It was good appointment. They were excellent. I have used them since about a month ago. I thought I had a plumbing issue with my upstairs bathroom. I thought that the toilet was leaking and coming down the wall. They sent someone out here and what I thought was going to be several hundred dollars for the plumbing repair turned out to be just a simple broken plastic line from the refrigerator in the kitchen downstairs. T. hey replaced it within half an hour and cost under a dollar for the service call. They spotted it right away. They were great.

Was very satisfied with the installation, but the cost was prohibitive. The work was completed in less than an hour. Although we were satisfied with the work performed, the cost would probably prevent us from using them again.

No one showed at appointed time for estimate. No call. I took half day vacation for nothing. I called and got snarky attitude, insincere apology. A guy did meet with my wife the following morning and gave a ridiculous estimate. I had the repair done for half the price.

Excellent. I went into the True Value and set up the appointment for the next day, a 12:00 to 2:30 time window. He called letting me know he was loading the truck, and arrived in a timely fashion. The water heater installation was quick and the plumber answered all of my questions. I asked him to look at a few other issues in the house and he went to each one giving me an opinion and doing a few extras (tightening fittings, capping unused gas line, etc). All relatively small items but it saved me a lot of time. I also saved $30 by having my husband to help with hauling the old heater out, but turns out since it was a short set of steps to the door, the plumber did it all himself. If you need a new hot water heater don't hesitate to call Ed Young! The prices were advertised online and it was an easy setup and installation, exactly what I needed as a new homeowner!

They indicated the plumber would be coming by in the early afternoon shift (12:00-2:00pm) and I requested a phone call first. The person did call around 1:00, and indicated he'd be there in about 15 minutes. He arrived about 50 minutes later. I'm not too bothered by that as I was home anyway. What was odd is that as soon as he stepped foot in my house he stated the price is $168 + tax. I'm not sure if that was before or after saying and quot;helloand quot;. The work was done properly and within 30-35 minutes. Considering I purchased the faucet in advance and it only took about 35 minutes is why I'm dissatisfied. It's simply way, way too much money to spend on replacing a faucet. Based on what I paid the hourly labor rate is about $360! $80-$90 would have been a much more reasonable price, as this was not a complicated piece of plumbing and I supplied the faucet and all parts. Had I known the price beforehand I would not have used this company. This is unfortunate as I have used them in the past and felt their prices were reasonable. Next time I'll call a handyman or do it myself.

The job went very well. See my explanation above.
Description of Work: My wash tubs in the basement decided to finally refuse to drain. It was time to get some professional help. I called Ed Young's and arranged for a plumber to come over after 1 p.m. A few minutes before 1:00 I got a call that the plumber was on his way. In hardly anytime at all, my wash tubs were cleaned out and water was draining nicely once again. While the plumber's assistant was cleaning up any mess near the wash tubs, I asked the plumber if he would install a bath shower spa on my bathtub. That was done quickly and the operation of the shower head was explained to me. These 2 men were polite, friendly and professional, They answered all my questions about the work done today as well as answeing my questions about some jobs I am planning in the future. I highly recommend Ed Young's plumbing service. This was my 1st experience with them and I plan to contact them again when I need a plumber.

Prompt, courteous, professional work at a reasonable cost! What more can one ask of a tradesman? We are completely satisfied with the work and will definitely hire this firm again.
Description of Work: We needed to have new cartriges, tap handles, and spout on a bath tub, which also needed repair of the mechanical drain stop. Ten minutes before the appointment time which had been arranged earlier, we got a call from the technician letting us know that he was on the way. The work was completed without fuss nor mess in less than an hour with the installation looking like new. I had also requested advice on a slow running drain, and he checked it and found it not to be as much a problem as we thought. . He advised me not to spend any money at this time, and to wait until we were in a future project when we would replace the old pipes. Saved me some money.

Filled out online form Sunday 8/5. Received call 0800 8/6. Plumber arrived 0830. Wrote written quote before starting for work requested. Cleaned kitchen drain as requested. Attempted repair on bathroom tub/shower faucet but unable to pull cartridge due to calcification. Tightened and left written quote for more extensive repair. Not his fault, cost due to access issues getting to valve. Done by 1030. Honest, fast. Would call again.145.00 for drain clean40.00 to work on tub/shower

The job is good so far. They replaced the pipe and buried it and on top of it they let the dirt sink and they would come back in the spring and finish it. I had a lot of other work done by them over the years and they are very good. They are reliable and reasonably priced. Their price is consistent and I don't know of any other price. When I have a problem I call them.

We spent $751 including tax for their services. Their price was ridiculous. They did get here in time. The guy wasn't very professional. The value was nil because the price was so ridiculous. The work that they did and the price they charged, there was actually no correlation between those two whatsoever. We will never even think of using them again in the future.
