He used a quality replacement (Moen faucet). No leaks or problems found after the work was performed. He performed the work in a limited work space that was difficult to get to without complaint or hesitation. He was honest and straightforard. He charges more - but then again - you get what you pay for.
Description of Work: (1) Replaced a leaking kitchen faucet. (2) Stopped a leak from a water filter hose under the kitchen sink.

He was very good. He gave us choices and when I told him we planned to gut the upstairs bathroom within the next year, suggested an approach that would solve today's problem.
Description of Work: Our bathroom drain was leaking water into our kitchen. Pete answered the phone himself when I called and was out our house within an hour. He offered us choices for the repairs and had the leak fixed before the end of the day. He replaced a section of piple under our bathroom floor.

On Memorial Day my tenant called to say she had a leak in the basement. Pete answered my call on Memorial Day. I asked if he could come the next day. He was there on time at 8am. He figured out that the problem was with the 1st floor toilet and fixed it. He was very professional, quick, and cleaned up afterwards.
Description of Work: He replaced valves in the toilet.

I will say he was a nice guy but when I tried to call him and have him come back to fix the issue he said the work was not guaranteed. So for three hundred and twenty four dollars he came and left the toilet in the same condition which is unacceptable.
Description of Work: He came to my house and said he fixed the valve and the flipper on my toilet. He also said he cleaned out the pump pit for the grinder pump. He was at my house for 45 minutes and said he fixed the issue at hand. After he left there was water all over my bathroom floor, which he did not clean up and my toilet was still running non stop.

Response from Pete The Plumber NY
when i first arrived, i suggested replacing both very old toilet bowls and the grinder pump. when she decided to keep the old toilets, i explained that i could not guarantee replacement parts for the old tanks. i was not aware of any issues after i left. i did not receive any phone calls. i would have been happy to return.

Pete was prompt to respond to my appointment request. He, and his assistant, arrived at my home at the time agreed upon and they went right to work. The job was completed in a professional manner and in less time than expected; there were no issues with cleanliness. Pete performed an extra step in the work procedure to help secure the toilet, adjusted the water level, and replaced a part at no added cost. He listens to your questions and is happy to provide the answers. I would describe Pete as a contractor who is honest and works hard to satisfy the customer.

I contacted Pete the Plumber to install a new kitchen faucet that I had purchased. His response was extrememly fast. Pete and his assistant accomplished this job quickly, efficiently, professionally, and it was done extremely well. He was great at communicating and also needed to be somewhat creative to accomplish it. I would recommend him highly. He goes above and beyond.

Everything was better than I expected. I have never had plumbing work done before, as this is my first home, and I was pleasantly surprised with how great everything went. Pete identified all of the problems quickly, had most of the parts, and returned quickly with parts he had to get. The work was done quickly, and he tested and retested everything to make certain that it all worked and nothing leaked. He was great with scheduling and communication. I will be calling him again to install a new faucet once I purchase it. I would recommend him to everyone.
Description of Work: Pete replaced some pipes under my sink, replaced a part in a tub so it would drain properly, and fixed a toilet that was not flushing correctly.

I called Pete in the morning and received not only a prompt answer, but he juggled his schedule to work on my job nearly right away. He was at my house very shortly after that, taking a look at the job. After a quick run to the plumbing supply shop, Pete returned with an updated model of the same hot water tank which had been in my house for 20 years. Pete and his associate made short work of the hot water heat replacement, working very efficiently. I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Pete the Plumber.

Pete and his assistant came to our house at the exact time he said. They went right to work explaining everything as they went along. Finished within two hours, were very informative, professional and cleaned up after. The price never changed and we have to say we were very impressed with his honesty and integrity, something we don't often see anymore. We have future projects and we would use only Pete the plumber in the future. We called two plumbers from Angie's list before Pete (because they were brand names) and we never heard from them. So, in our eyes, third time is a charm.
Description of Work: Replaced tub/shower plumbing. We had no pressure in upstairs bath/shower. Pete called us within one day of contact to schedule appt.
