Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review I looked back at all my notes and voicemails cannot find anything that matches your name maybe you tried a different plumber I’m a one-man show I try to get back to everyone Since this coronavirus everyone is doing business a little bit differently and when you rely on cell phones sometimes messages don’t go through I still run my business like my dad taught me I’m old-school and I still have a home phone people text me to my home phone but it’s not a cell phone Text messages do not go through I wish you would’ve just tried calling me again instead of leaving a review Sorry we couldn’t do business Owner Steve Lauschus

Steve is a jewel... no-nonsense, reasonable, and trustworthy plumber. Just fixed our guest room shower and gave us a very good price/plan to fix another one that's been out of service for a bit. Have used him twice now. Recommend him highly.

Steve's lifetime of plumbing skills and abilities saved us $$$ because he was able to fix the problem with out digging up our entire front yard to replace pipe. The price gave us sticker shock, but we realize the complexity of it could have been far more if he had made a single mistake. Steve has been our go to plumber since moving to Kings Park in 2012. Our home was built in 1966, so it seems each year we have one plumbing issue occur. Generally our past jobs with him have been in the $450 range. One year we had a leaking toilet pipe above our kitchen. Another year we had a leaking baseboard radiator in our bedroom. After that we had our pipeline behind our washing machine clog, so Steve came and snaked plus built an extension to make it easier for future snaking. Steve is a jack of all trades. One year we had him even clear a sprinkler lines while moving between tasks to avoid paying the irrigation company coming a week later. Steve is a one man show, so the one thing you'll need when hiring him is some flexibility on start date. However, once he gives you a time and date he always delivers, He's also got a good sense of humor which makes him easy to talk to, and he's good at talking to children. My wife has made these same observations about him as well.
Description of Work: We had a broken house trap in the garage. This is the main pipe line leading to the septic tank out front. This required jack-hammering, digging and welding. This was causing back-ups to our toilets and showers along with making our garage smell like a Porto J.

The capacity of the water tank installed underestimated the atypical amount of hot water we call for in a short time. As a result, it proved inadequate for our unique life style. Steve removed the brand new water tank which required great effort in very hot weather and replaced it with a larger capacity model without hesitation. He remained in touch with us to be sure the replacement tank fulfilled our needs. There was no additional charge even though we offered to compensate him for the many extra hours of labor and additional expense of the new tank he removed. He clearly demonstrated a caring attitude as he would for his own family. His only concern was our comfort and satisfaction. This he completely achieved.
Description of Work: Replaced gas water heater and gas furnace. He also removed a non working antiquated supplementary recovery water heater.

Took call on cell phone from under a sink at another job. Promised to call next day and did. Set appointment for following Saturday. He called Saturday morning to let me know approximate arrival time and updated once during the day. Arrived when expected, got right to work, explained to me what he was doing every step of the way - including how to fix the bathroom problem myself if it happens again. Friendly and professional while on-site. Great price. He's now our "family plumber."
Description of Work: Cleaned out bathroom faucet and pipes to restore normal pressure. Dismantled kitchen drain to install missing washers at two locations that had been causing a persistent leak.

Noticed water leaking from my aging hot water heater. Called Steve on a Sunday. He was actually on his way home from church in his Sunday best. Said he would change, get his truck and come over. He quickly showed up and diagnosed what I assumed; that the hot water heater needed to be replaced. It was already well past its normal life expectancy. Steve ordered the unit and quickly replaced it on that Monday. Job was done quickly and correctly and have had zero problems. He was professional, personable and courteous. In addition, he fully cleaned up the area after the work was completed. If you want someone who is both completely honest, competent and professional, he is the plumber for you. Would highly recommend and will use again as needed.

The cooktop did not fit properly into a granite surround. Steve modified the structure so that the cooktop fit without damaging the surround. He also found a creative way to get the drawers in the underneath cabinet to remain serviceable by modifying the cabinet. This took not only patience, but creative problem solving, and outstanding professional skill. He also corrected a problem on the toilet that had eluded other plumbers' attempts. He reset the water heater temperature by overcoming the problem of a broken knob.
Description of Work: Steve installed a cooktop the day it arrived , repaired a toilet, caulked a problem area in my barbecue, and reset the temperature on my water heater.

I don't normally give out 5 star great reviews because they can seem uncritical, but in this case it was well deserved. Steve was great. He talked with me the night before when I had the issue and followed up in the morning when I had to get the water company out. He worked with the water company on site to get the water off and then very quickly replaced my valve and pipe section. He was professional and polite and let me know exactly what he was doing. I would absolutely recommend him.

Steve came first thing in the morning as promised. He performed the work, he was able to tell us exactly why the failure took place. After a few hours he was all done, and we had our bathroom back. I have used Steve a few times and all of his work is excellent. I highly recommend Steve to anyone.
Description of Work: Steve installed a new toilet waste line. We had a new tile floor installed and the company improperly re-installed the toilet and caused a leak. Steve needed to replace the toilet flange, down pipe and plumping connections to the waste line.

First, appears all the work was done properly. And he was pleasant to deal with. I outlined the work that was needed and was very specific about that. He said it would be 300-400. And that it would take a few hours. He ended up charging us $800+ (I wasn't there when finished). I called and asked if the projected changed or why more and didn't really get an answer. Said he alter it and send money back. Better yet, that will be the last time he comes to my house for work.
Description of Work: Gave him a list of a number of items that needed addressed. Probably five in total. Fix faucets, etc.

on a sunday afternoon the bathroom shut-off in my bedroom had a lovely leak that would just not wait. steve called back within ten minutes and came over shortly thereafter.he went to work immediately fixing not the leak i'd called for but one that i've been using a tupperware to catch(it was "fixed" twice before) not well. next steve fixed the bathroom shut off,plus a few other things i gues the bowl needed. he waited for the water to fill and checked for leaks and faulty valves.even though he had personal business to attend to ,he stayed until he was satisfied and i would not be calling back for these leaks. i will be calling him back for any other plumbing issues i might have. he was neat,thorough.promt,and polite.
Description of Work: called back in 10 minutes was here within less than 2 hours.fixed the leak and then another
