There were 2 people and it took them probably 2 hours to complete the work. They talked me through the process. They were professional and courteous. They explained stuff really well.

Eric is a true professional with great skill. He knows his plumbing and does not cut corners. At the same time, he looks for the most efficient, effective cost controlled approach to solving a problem. I never have a doubt that he is bringing the right solution - no more, no less when solving our plumbing issues. This most recent set of fixes was no different in that experience. I am so glad to have found a solid, reliable, trustworthy plumber.

Eric was helpful suggesting that I contact American Standard for free parts and work was accomplished satisfactorily. I do find it disappointing that he charged $40.00 for truck/travel when his shop is only about 5 miles from my home.

Work was well done and on time as promised. Plumber explained changes to be done and asked me for input. Very pleased with this company. This is an old family firm that has been in business for about three generations. Recommend them highly.

I was very pleased with Eric's work. He was prompt in his communications, and on time for the appointment (even a bit early). Eric worked efficiently and effectively. He was thorough, and answered all my questions. He is knowledgeable, and knows his craft. i would not hesitate to use him again, or to recommend to friends.
Description of Work: Two toilets were leaking from the base. Eric removed them, cleared away the old wax ring, replaced with new wax ring, bolts and supply line. He replaced the toilets, and cleaned up completely.

There is exactly one "do". Use Eric Trenkler for any plumbing needs. I've used Trenkler Plumbing for 15 + years. Eric is an extremely bright person and consummate plumber, continuing a family owned business of several generations. He is prompt and professional, yet friendly and personable. His charges are fair. Parenthetically, Eric is a superb conversationalist on any number of subjects. Don't worry, he will in no way chew your ear off (and charge you for the time); no, it's a matter of when you've known him a long time, and if you are so inclined, you somehow find yourself engaged in conversation with a broadly knowledgeable, articulate person. Here is an excellent plumber and fabulous person. I wish he did everything; fix my car and do housekeeping!
Description of Work: This particular example of service from Eric Tenkler was a simple or fairly simple repair of a leaking toilet. Two replacement parts were needed, both of which he had with him in his van. His work, as always, was impeccable; the problem solved, and with no recurrences of same.

Great experience overall. Job was done in the promised timeframe and quality of work was great. Was a pleasure to work with Trenkler Plumbing. Could have been a little more communicative during the process (periods of no contact, etc.) but a nice family run business, would recommend them.

Eric repaired the leaky faucet right away, and used the plunger to fix the clogged drain (it's still slow, however), then spent about a half hour trying to figure out the toilet problem. He gave me quite the lecture on how awful Kohler toilets are (this was a Kohler toilet) and how impossible it is to get parts for them. Eric tends to talk way too much, and doesn't listen hardly at all. He handed me a brochure on Toto toilets which he recommended and called me a week later to say that he found the part to fix the toilet, but it would cost $450 between the part and the labor and I'd still have a 20 year old toilet, so I should get a new $700 Toto toilet instead. That seemed like a crazy price, so I waited a few weeks, checking out toilets - in the meantime we couldn't use the leaky one at all. After checking at Lowe's, Home Depot and VP Supply for toilets, and rechecking Angie's list, I found another plumber who installed a less expensive Toto toilet for $100 less than Eric wanted to charge me - total cost for the toilet was $378 including labor. Another thing I found annoying was that Eric kept mispronouncing my name even after I corrected him several times - not a big deal, just annoying. Eric needs to get over hiimself.
Description of Work: Eric came over to repair a leaky toilet, replace a leaky faucet and unclog a slow drain.

I called Eric, and he was able to stop the next day. He was on time, very professional, and did the work quickly. He explained what he was doing and why, and outlined what steps we will have to take in the future for a permanent solution. Our drain was totally clogged and he cleared it. We probably need to replace some pipes down the road, but there was absolutely no pressure to do so now. Eric gave me a rough estimate, but said he would be happy to stop back for a formal quote if we proceed with the bigger work.

We called two plumbers for estimates on the problem we were having in our bathroom. The first one didn't listen much, said they would come and perform an expensive test and let us know what was wrong. Then we called Trenkler Plumbing. I talked on the phone with them for a long time, Eric was so friendly, thoughtful and helpful. He listened, asked questions, and made suggestions. His goal was to help me solve my own problem so that I wouldn't have to spend lots of money having him solve it. I tried the simple solution he proposed and the problem was solved. His professionalism, willingness to listen and problem solve and knowledge of plumbing will make him my first call if we need a plumber again.

Courteous, on-time, professional. Thanks Eric! We'll call you again if we ever have another problem. Hopefully not!!!!!
Description of Work: Eric diagnosed a persistent leaky shower, and after initial caulk fixes, came back and diagnosed the root cause of the problem. He had to cut into the wall, but asked my permission first. Sure enough his suspicion was correct, identified where the leak was occuring, and rectified the situation. And he cleaned up thoroughly after the job was complete.

Eric called me back 20 minutes after I phoned (amazing!) and after dicussing our issues in detail, he explained that he would need to order some parts. A week later, he called me back and set up the appointment. Three days later, he arrived on time and fixed both of our issues, explaining what needed to be done and cleaned up beautifully afterwards (more than he needed to!)
Description of Work: Eric replaced both of our outside faucets; one which is all the way in the back of our crawl space!

We were experiencing a leak in our basement so we called Trenkler Plumbing. Eric came to our house within a day of calling for an estimate. He called prior to his arrival and gave us an estimate for doing the job. We set up an appointment for the following week to have the work done. Eric called again prior to his arrival and performed the work as specified. He was extremely professional and friendly during the whole time he was here. He brought in appropriate floor covering for the powder room and his clean-up was excellent.

The work was done quickly, all of my questions were answered, and everything was neatly cleaned up. All of the leaks are gone. Did not seem to mind that I watched him work and was very friendly. Mr. Trenkler also suggested a new shut off valve for the main water supply and gave me an estimate to put in a new toilet.
Description of Work: Called Trenkler Plumbing to fix 2 leaks underneath the kitchen sink. They came the same day. The piping in our circa 1929 house was a mess. Mr. Trenkler replaced everything with new copper pipe and added 2 new shut off valves onto the supply lines for the dishwasher and fridge.

Eric Trenklar came over the day I called to replace an old broken disposal and pipes under our kitchen sink. He went out of his way to get the job done quickly and well (working through his lunch time in order to fit me in that day!) He explained everything he did and gave me a rundown on how to keep the new top of the line disposal working well. He cleaned up thoroughly after the job. I was delighted with the service and speed. I would heartily recommend Trenkler to anyone. This is local, family business and it shows!
