Fabulous. The office was diligent about getting me in the same day. Guys came, diagnosed the issue and made the repair within 30 min. It was all straight forward, no trying to scam or tell me it all needed replacing. The price was accurate for the repair and the guys were in and out. Recommend.

It could not have gone better. I called at 8:05 on a Saturday and had Francisco in my home a half hour later. He quickly diagnosed the problem, told me how he was going to fix it and what the cost would be. Not only did he correct the problem but got all the water out of my basement and then stayed and tested all facets of my heating system to make sure they worked properly prior to leaving. A job well done!!!
Description of Work: Woke Up to find a basement full of water and the pressure relief on my water heater running like a faucet. Blit's came over and replaced a failed expansion tank, added one to my water heater and replaced two bad T&P valves.

I called Blits and spoke to Callie who said she could send someone quickly. She called back, told me the minimum for an installation, which I accepted, and within a half-hour they were here. Jose and Roberto took off their shoes before coming in (it was raining all morning) without asking and set to work. I showed them the problem, Roberto fixed the leak and reinstalled the faucet (it had been installed incorrectly by a handyman -- the whole thing was centered off to the left, which has been pretty annoying for almost a year). Everything very clean. Done within an hour. Even my dog liked them. My previous plumber was so clearly overcharging us (he could never look at us when giving the price). I'm glad to be done with that company. I'll call Blits next time for sure.

Remember me?! I used Blits plumbing before and said if this old house has another issue, I'll call them again, because, "I FOUND ME A PLUMBER!!!!". Sure enough, I called them and left a message, I think it was Thursday evening or Friday morning. A women returned my call but I was working and couldn't pick up the phone so she left me a message. She left me her cell number in case I call again and still get a machine. She wanted to make sure I talked to someone personally. (Yep, just what I would expect from Blits Plumbing, old fashioned service, you can't beat that.) That night, Mr. Blits the owner called me to see what needed to be done. My carpet was soaked in the basement and I had a feeling somewhere in the ceiling tile near a wall there was a leak. I tore up the ceiling tile and found a leaking valve. He was honest with me and said I can send someone there tomorrow to see if he can shut it down but he wasn't sure he can fix it that day. No lie, I was disappointed. It was a slow leak so I said okay and hung up. I went on Angie's list and looked for other plumbers, not one returned my call that night or today. I woke up at 8:15 am and went to the kitchen when the phone rang. It was Mr Blits telling me he can send his men right away and if that's okay. OKAY?!!! Bring em on!!!!! They showed up within 30 minutes, replaced all three old valves and they were on their way. Bing-Bam-Boom, WOW!!! I've used them before and will use them again, your the best. Thanks crew!!!! I'm afraid to write these things because everyone will use them and they'll turn into, "one of those" plumbing companies". They deserve the accolades.
Description of Work: Replaced 3 Valves, one which I found behind a wall that was leaking.

I used Blits few times and its workers always were very nice and fix the issues at hand. This time I had them check our main drain because of water coming out of my bathroom and it was determined that was a cesspool issue. They changed a faucet in bathroom. Workers were very honest in their opinions and hard workers. I highly recommend this company.

They were very responsive from the first call. They made an appointment within less than 24 hours. The plumber. Miguel, arrived on time, and was very nice and helpful. He checked out the issues thoroughly. He fixed the problems I needed fixed quickly. And I thought that the price was very reasonable. Very happy with them, and will happily work with them again should I need them in the future.

Made the appointment, waited over an hour, no plumber. The phone call came from Blits an hour and 45 minutes AFTER the scheduled appointment time -- no courtesy to let me know he would be late or could not do it today. Apparently had no trouble inconveniencing me.
Description of Work: I made an appointment with Blits Plumbing to replace my bathroom sink, possibly the shut-off valve, and to fix a leaking faucet in the bathtub/shower. The person on the phone said it sounded like an involved job so that the plumber would need to start at 1:30 pm. I made arrangements for a friend to leave work to be there to meet the plumber -- the plumber never showed up and I receive no phone call about this until 3:14 pm. The man who called said he was sorry, that they would not be able to get to me to do the work today, that I could reschedule for tomorrow. I said, no, that I had not even gotten a phone call despite having someone here and ready to let him in at the appointed hour; my friend waited over an hour with no phone call. I said I was not happy. He said, "Sorry. Bye" and that ended the conversation. Certainly not deserving of any positive review from my experience.

Response from BLITS PLUMBING & HEATING, INC.
While we apologize for the inconvenience we caused this reviewer, we do believe she misunderstood regarding our scheduled time frame for appointments. I am the receptionist who took the call & scheduled the appointment. I would never give someone a definite start time of 1:30pm as the time required to perform jobs scheduled earlier in the day cannot be estimated to the exact time they will take and sometimes, though not often, our plumbers do call in sick and larger emergencies do arise that have to not only be fit in during the work day but made a priority as they involve situations that need to be addressed or at least stabilized because we cannot ask a client to wait and suffer serious water damage / flooding / waste spillage. Though we try from experience to be as accurate as possible in estimating the time required for every scheduled job to make the day run smoothly & we try when necessary to make cancellation calls as early as possible after we first anticipate a problem, there are sometimes abnormalities that occur that cause us to be off. We always ask clients to understand that under normal circumstances, we need at least a 4 hour window to ensure we make the appointment. We are a very busy small company with 3 active crews on most days. We do not have plumbers sitting around waiting to go out on calls. I do believe many of the clients what look for that convenience the highest importance do wind up paying for such convenience and I do not necessarily mean with money. Paying a higher price seems fair but paying with quality of the work performed is another matter. Our plumbers are experienced and in demand. Emergencies are not an everyday occurrence that can be anticipated but they do occasionally occur. Our afternoon appointment window is 12p - 4p. We do offer to call people before going to a scheduled appointment location so as long as we can reach someone, they do not have to be at the location waiting and can meet us on site. While we no longer work evenings, we do repair work on Saturdays to try & accommodate people who work normal business hours & cannot take any time off. In this particular case the potential client told me the earliest she could schedule for someone to get to the location would be 1:30pm. I told her we would show up after that time but since she had requested for a number of of small repairs, we would TRY to come as early in the afternoon as possible because if it got past a certain time, we would not be able to finish the work she was requesting. We did plan & try our best to keep the appointment. AS SOON AS BLITS KNEW for sure that we would not be able to come & finish what was requested, he called & made someone aware. Up until that point, we still thought we would be able to keep the appointment. I understand the power of online reviews & that they really are a good tool for consumers to try & weed out service providers that are no good. For the most part Angie's List patrons have been wonderful to work with & many have even taken the time to write us positive reviews which we find so nice on their part. This client WAS inconvenienced & we are truly sorry about that & wish the day would have gone otherwise for us so we would not have had to make that cancellation call but even knowing ahead that she would give us this bad review, things still would have happened the same way. Unfortunately somethings things happen & you have to work with it as it comes. If we get an "F" for someone waiting an hour & a half when we offered to contact someone before going so they would not have had to wait at all, then what would she "grade" a plumber who not only missed the appointment but never even bothered to call? I hear a lot of horror stories from new clients that call & we know what is out there as far as competition. Some really good, many very bad. We pride ourselves on our work, our plumbers & our reputation. We try our best to do right by our clients but unfortunately "sorry" is all we can really say in this case. The client did not want to work with us after that. We understand, her bad experience is her bad experience regardless of what happened on our end. We understand she was angry. As she found us on Angie's List, she wanted to let others know what she had experienced as that is the purpose of Angie's List, but we do not think an "F" is a fair grade. This woman was very nice on the phone when we scheduled the appointment & she probably would have been an excellent client had things gone the other way. I'm also pretty sure in her head she heard 1:30pm (most people myself included sometimes hear what we want to) & remembered that as the appointment time rather than the time we would be coming after. I also am writing such a detailed response because I hope she gets the chance to read it & if so please know we are sorry but please in the future think about the grading system & if an "F," the lowest possible is really fair when you did not even have any work performed to assist you in forming your opinion.

Woke up with water in the basement from a bad leak that had been going all night. I called in the morning and they showed up in the early afternoon. Replaced the pipe. In about an hour. That is quick for that kind of job. Guys who came were nice, professional, and fast. Just before they were going to leave, threw the shower drain at them. It is a T drain so it isn't easy to snake. Twenty minutes later, they were done. Price was very reasonable. Would definitely use them again.

First gentleman was lovely and installed the bathroom tank quickly and efficiently. Looked at the kitchen sink and told me exactly what I needed for repair. Looked at shower and was going to fix when asked for certain parts. Apparently the previous plumber had taken or discarded them to my disbelief. Second time they were here, two of his assistants, was also a pleasure. They were efficient, neat and knew exactly what to do. I am awaiting the replacement parts for the shower and would only call Blits Plumbing for the installation. Wonderful experience and will always highly recommend.

I officially have "my plumber." My sump pump died over the weekend unbeknownst to me since I was away. I left a message with Blits Sunday night around 9pm; I received a call back at 8am. The crew was here at 11:30am and the pump is installed and running at 12:45pm. The crew was courteous, professional and answered all of my questions. I have used Blits once before about a year ago to replace water spigots and shut of valves; also very satisfied with that experience. I will use them in the future for my plumbing needs.

.The initial visit was for a toilet that was continually running. They fixed that quickly and then, when I asked, did additional work without hesitation. This visit was to fix an outside shower. It was running excessively; and I knew our water bill would be excessive. They responded within hours of my call and fixed the problem quickly. I will not use anyone for plumbing problems. They are wonderful!!!

Service was excellent. They arrived on time. They did the work quickly and efficiently and solved not only the burst pipes, but the tangential issues caused by the pipes. They were very respectful of the home, putting mats down so as not to track in mud. Manuel was the head plumber on site and I cant say enough his courtesy and professionalism. I will be a long time customer.
