He was very professional. He knew what he was doing. He was honest with the pricing. He was very nice. His price was okay. He cleaned up after himself. I called him on a Sunday, and he answered the phone right away. He showed up when he said that he would. He was very professional.
Description of Work: He put new shut off valves on three toilets. He also installed a new sink for us.

I called Pete at around 8 am and he was at my house about a half hour later. He was professional and courteous and clearly knew what he was doing. He cleaned the bathroom up well after he was done with the drain. I would definitely recommend his services.
Description of Work: Pete unclogged my bathtub drain. It was more difficult than the average job because I have a drum trap and the cap was on so tightly that he couldn't get it off. But he found a way to work around it. This took longer than a normal drain cleaining which is why it was more expensive.

Pete arrived at the agreed time, looked over the project, set up tarps to cover the floor , and began the job. He went to work , completed the installation of the new faucet, and tested it to make sure it worked with no leaks. We were pleased with his work and would recommend him. He was pleasant , hard working, and cleaned up after his job was completed. A very professional man!
Description of Work: We called Pete this morning, told him of our problem, a leaky kitchen faucet, how we had purchased a new one, but needed him to install it for us. He gave us a time he could come , and an estimate of how much it would cost us. We hired him.

I had a spigot valve that led out from my basement freeze over the winter and rupture. I found it when turning on this faucet in the spring and my basement received a healthy twenty gallon bath. Pete was out to my house in under two hours. It took him about forty-five minutes at the most for a full replacement., He sealed up the house with silicone from the outside, and cautioned me to drain the piping leading outside before the winter. I would like to say $200 is about fifty dollars more than I would have liked to have paid based on the simplicity of the job, but in a fix it was worth it. Pete was very polite and professional, if I had to have a "go to guy" for plumbing, he would be my choice.

Pete was great. He was quick, efficient and very easy to deal with. Not only did he show on a Sunday morning, Pete even offered to come out Friday night after he finished his current job if we were desperate to get some laundry through. Highly recommend
Description of Work: Pete was terrific. We had a washing machine issue which turned out to be a drain set up issue. We called on a Friday. Pete came in early Sunday morning. For a family of 4 with literally tons of laundry, he was a life saver. He analyzed the problem, went out to get the needed parts and completely re-did the pipe and drain set up. He was quick, courteous and very efficient. We would definitely recommend him. Thank you Pete!

Description of Work: We had a pipe leaking - water collecting in the basement. Pete came within hours of being called, worked around our toddler and dogs, and found the leaking pipe inside a wall. Once found, he had the leak fixed in minutes.

Not only was Pete prompt, he went above and beyond in his services. Once here, we realized that one of the problems was going to be much larger than anticipated, yet he took it all in stride. It involved an unplanned trip to a plumbing supply store to have a part specially designed for the problem, getting another man to assist, and removing more of a wall before all was said and done. And he managed to keep the cost down! Would definitely use him and again and will recommend him to all.
Description of Work: Water supply was returned to one toilet; new water faucets replaced on one sink (he found that no supports were on the sink, so he placed them then re-caulked the area...good job!)....new water faucets replaced on a tub (involved having a special part made and going into a wall....not at all anticiapted).

He called within a half hour of our initial call, on a Sunday. Set up time for the following day, Monday for him to come. Called Monday morning to say, he could make it earlier if we wanted. He was at our house within 20 minutes. Went directly downstairs to tackle the problem. Quoted a price, got to work on the problem, and left our house about 30 to 45 minutes after arriving. Extremely professional, curtious, and very reasonable price!
Description of Work: We had a clogged drain for over 2 weeks, and couldn't unclog. We called Pete and within a half hour, drains were running freely!

Satisfied with everything and I've saved his card for future jobs.
Description of Work: The top of the toilet bowl had to be replaced and the screws that were attached had become very rusty. Pete warned me that it would be difficult to remove the bolts without cracking the top, but he was able to do it.

Pete answered my call right away and offered to swing by the house within the hour to see what could be done. He was very friendly and got right to work after agreeing on a price. He fixed the leaking pipe under the sink and even replaced the valve which we hadn't discussed (all for the same initial cost) because the pipe was as old as the house. He then snaked the line, and I now have a sink that does not back up when washing dishes. He also fixed the problem in the toilet tank. He worked for a total of 1.5 hours. I would definitely trust him with any other plumbing concerns. He was fair, knowledgable, and professional. As a side note, a neighbor called when they saw his van in the driveway and wondered if Pete would pop by their place to give an estimate on replacing a hot water tank. After finishing up the work at my house, he walked to the neighbor's house to help them out. He just seems very willing and happy to do his job. .
Description of Work: Had a couple of ongoing plumbing concerns in the house - slow drain, toilet not refilling - but a recent battle with carpenter ants revealed that I had a leaking pipe under my kitchen sink. After having the home treated for the pesky insects, I contacted Pete to take care of anything plumbing-related.

Call back from message left on answering machine was prompt. Pete showed up promptly at the agreed time later in the day, reviewed the situation and provided a verbal quote. He worked cleanly with disposable plastic covering the floor and under sink areas. His equipment and tools were clean and in good working order. Pete was professional and experienced. He successfully unclogged the drain in reasonable time.

This line was not in use so the fix was a simple job for him. But, he was great and we look forward to doing future work with him.
Description of Work: A frozen pipe underneath our porch burst and was flooding our basement. Pete told us to shut off the main water supply to our home. And, he promptly came by and capped off the line for us.
