Response from McHugh's Plumbing Inc
We brought our sewer machine inside the house after snaking from the exterior cleanout and being unable to open from that location. We snaked the sewer for hours to try and free and loosen a section of solids that had clogged the sewer. The customer needed a sewer jetter to successfully push the debris through the line and open. Our work absolutely made a impact on how easy the jetter got through the line and the time spent was charged at a very reasonable cost.

I called Bob on Saturday to set up an appointment for Monday due to a clogged kitchen sink. They called me 45 minutes before they came and was able to fix my issues. I have used Bob and his company before on other items. They always do an excellent job.

You can't go wrong with McHugh Plumbing. Professional, polite, reliable. I had to rate price an "N/A" because I didn't get any other estimate, so can't compare. I have worked with Bob before, and trust him to do at great job at a fair price. I definitely recommend McHugh Plumbing -- in fact, he will be doing some work at my mother-in-law's house tomorrow.
Description of Work: Bob replaced two toilets, installed a disposal where none had been before, removed an old concrete utility tub and replaced it and the taps. Let's see -- oh yes, replaced the valve on the line to an outside spigot that wouldn't shut off, and reworked some plumbing that had been done incorrectly. Plus some other odds and ends.
I have a septic tank, and the line going down to the septic tank was plugged by roots. It was a partial blockage, I had one toilet that was still working .They did a good job. I called and they could not come the day I called but came the next day. They removed the toilet in the upstairs of home and roto rooted the line from there. The workmen took care to not damage my home, they even used to drop cloths on the floors. They arrived within 30 minutes of the time they said they would. They were courteous. There were no problems.
Description of Work: I had them out to do a sewer cleanout.

I have a problem now so I need to call them again. They are easy to work with. They are responsive compared to lots of other companies. When they come out they come prepared. They fix things the right way. If they are doing anything different they explain things to me so it helps. I have had them here two or three times.

We called and things stared great. They were here, gave estimates and left. We decided which work we were going to do and what we were going to put off till next year. We called to have them do 2 of the 4 jobs and they said they would send a quote out. That was in November and we have still heard nothing from them in the mail or on the phone. Needless to say, they will NOT be getting the other 2 jobs now.
Description of Work: We were looking at 2 bath remodels, an RO system and fixtures to be changed.

Bob cut into walls and tile to install a new fixture and run new lines for a shower in a historic bathroom that had been capped and not operational for decades. His solution to the problem was highly preferable to other proposals that involved replacing all the historic tile around the tub or cutting through shelves and a closet to gain access. Bob's work was quick and efficient and the cuts in the walls were minimal. He always cleans up after himself. He recommended a plasterer (also on Angie's List) to repair the holes. Bob also repaired a leaky toilet and two leaky sink faucets and a leaky shower while here. Bob is professional and prompt and always calls to notify if there is a delay in arrival and to follow-up after work is done. I prefer traditional plumbing materials to modern/PVC, etc in my historic house so do ask Bob to inform me about materials ahead of time. He convinced me on the shower that the flexible water pipe he installed is as good as copper for taking water from the source up to the shower head when snaking it through the old joists. He knows about my preferences and does take care to inform me about the materials he will be using.
Description of Work: Installed new fixture and snake new lines to make old non-functional shower useable again; repaired leaky toilet and faucets.

First, I should say I've had nothing but positive experiences with Angie's list referrals, until now. - I called Mr. McHugh in late August '09 to request a bid on a driveway drain project. After scheduling and cancelling two appointments with me, he finally showed up to make an estimate and spoke with my wife. He had the lowest bid ($188) and had positive reviews from Angie's list, so we hired him for the job. - After several weeks and a couple calls from me Mr. McHugh reported he had finally found time in his schedule and to snake our drain. He wanted to meet me, and I agreed to leave work and come to my home to meet with him. He was a half hour late but he we eventually met and he seemed nice enough. - Mr. McHugh reported to me several days later that he had tried but he couldn't clear the drain. He told me he would send a bid to repair the broken drain in a couple days. A week passed and no word from Mr. McHugh. I called to remind him about the bid and he returned the call to say I would receive the bid in a couple days. Another week passed and still no bid. I called Mr. McHugh (by now I had memorized his #) and asked if he was still interested in the job. - Several days later Mr. McHugh left me a message asking where was his check? It had been 2 weeks, and we wrote and mailed the check the next day. - Two days later Mr. McHugh called me in the evening and yelled into the phone "WHERE'S MY MONEY?". Unfortunately, I had put him on speakerphone and was in the car with my teenage daughter, so she heard the whole thing. I told him that my wife and I both understood from him that he would fold the charge of the initial snaking work into the larger repair work, but nevertheless we had put the check in the mail the previous day. He continued his belligerent and loud tone insisting he made no such statement and that he wanted his money. I reassured him that the check had been sent, but that we would not hire him for any further work. - Here's the bizarrest part of the story: once I told him we wouldn't hire him for any other work he stated probably shouldn't do the job anyway because he doesn't do driveways, just plumbing. So he admitted to me that he had misrepresented his ability to do the job in the first place! - In summary, Mr. McHugh took 4 weeks to attempt to snake our driveway drain, could not do it, did not submit a bid to repair the drain as promised, charged us the full amount despite not completing the job, and then yelled at me (as my daughter listened) for not sending a check for a 2-week old bill he had told us he would fold into a larger job. He finally confessed (after I sent the payment!) that he had misrepresented his ability and expertise to complete the job in the first place. The one upside was that the last, crazy call afforded me a chance to talk to my daughter about we both deal with angry and difficult people.
Description of Work: Mr. McHugh was hired to clean and repair a driveway drain. First he was to snake the drain, determine if there was a break in the sewer line, and where, and to submit a bid to fix the drain. He reports that he tried to snake the drain but failed, never submitted a bid, and 2 weeks after submitting a bill, yelled at me about not paying him - which I had done. Finally, he admitted to me that he misrepresented his expertise and ability to do driveways, stating he probably shouldn't have taken the job because he just does plumbing!

Response from McHugh's Plumbing Inc
The information provided by this customer is inaccurate and misleading. Not once did I become belligerent or unprofessional. I provided expert services at a very reasonable cost. I contacted this customer 3-4 weeks from the time I bid the job before I received a go ahead. I am not responsible for the delays entirely. As far as the work performed on the 70 year old drain, I used my sewer machine and camera to diagnose his problem and gave him a very good cost for these services. I was given inaccurate information about the drain and its history from the customer. It had not been snaked or serviced for years and was full of mud and broken clay tile. This resulted in a second phase of the job which would involve digging up the concrete drive and 30 feet of digging. A job not ideal for Oct and Nov weather conditions. Overall, I felt that the customer was hard to work with and wasn't attentive to my phone calls or at home once while I was doing the work. McHugh's Plumbing and its employees always treat the customer with absolute respect. We have never worked in any other way!

Overall, very well. Fixed the problem. I was most impressed with the professionalism of Mr. McHugh. I never met him, but spoke to him several times on the phone. The first time I called, he answered the call while he on his family vacation. Even still, he worked very hard to get my problem addressed ASAP. I called this company, because they have a great reputation. I had a sporadic water pressure problem that needed some thoughtful consideration and I wanted someone with experience to think it through before tearing apart our pipes. In the end, they did a great job (diagnosed the problem, replaced the part quickly, cleaned up, wore booties) and Mr. McHugh even called to follow up on the job and another estimate they provided. The part they replaced was only 5 years old. The price they gave me seemed a bit high compared to what I had paid in the past. When I questioned it, he knocked off $40. Seemed very fair, especially given the quality of service they provided. Definitely would recommend them and will call again.
Description of Work: Replaced a water pressure regulator and an outdoor spigot.

I called Bob on Sunday evening, left info on voice mail. He returned my call the same day and set up appointment for the following morning. His employee arrived on time, was polite, clean and pleasant. He actually fixed everything in a much more timely manner than expected. I have used them before and have always been extremely happy with the services. He cleaned up his work area, wore shoe covers on his feet so as not to track dirt. He said there was a lot of sludge in the pipes. This drain had given me problems ever since I lived here -- about 7 years. Now it's OPEN!

Bob McHugh, the owner, handled the service call. After explaining my concerns, he wrote up a quote for the camera work that needed to be done. We opted to do the work immediately. He checked out all of the drains and piping (more than was anticipated). He also snaked out two of the drains. He was very thorough and professional.

We've used them at least three times over the past couple of years. They are very good and prompt. We liked the way that they worked with us the first time that we used them. They are courteous and reasonably priced. They got the job done. Each time we have called them, they have always been very, very reasonable and the quality of the work has been excellent. We've never had to call them back to repair anything they have done. We plan to use them for everything. They are a very good company.

Overall, I am so glad that I selected McHugh's Plumbing for this project. Mr. McHugh responded promptly to my first call and guided me through the selection of fixtures that were both good quality and of the appropriate style for my home. I appreciated his frankness when he disagreed with my first choice of fixtures! He discussed the issues thoroughly with me. The only downside, which was minor, was that I waited about two weeks for his estimate. However, once I accepted the estimate and the ordered fixtures arrived, the project was completed in a timely manner. He was very professional and his craftsmanship was meticulous. My new bathroom is beautiful!
Description of Work: Removed an old toilet and sink and installed a new toilet, sink, hardware, faucet, and a shut-off valve for the toilet. Also installed a new shower head.

I have used them before. They were okay. I have had mixed results with them. I have never had a big problem in terms of them doing something that didn?t work. Once I had a problem with the furnace. It wasn?t working. It turned out that it was a furnace with a new system where there were many sensors. So, if there was a hint of even minor blockage in the intake pipe, the furnace wouldn?t work. I didn?t know this at that time and I called McHugh?s Plumbing to take a look at it. They managed to spend a lot of time chasing the problem and it costs me a lot of money for a simple problem. When I had them over for the water heater, they told me that it was an old one. They gave me an option of changing the computer box of the water heater, but they also told me that it was an expensive option. So, they put in a new heater and they did it quickly.
Description of Work: I used McHugh’s Plumbing for replacing a water heater, two months ago. They also fixed a furnace for me 2-3 years ago.

I believe you may have us confused with another company. My firm does not service furnaces and never has. We stay strictly in the plumbing. We installed your water heater in May 2009 but have no records of previous service visits. We strive to make every service call a pleasant one for our clients and we look forward to serving you again! Thank You. Robert J. McHugh President, McHugh's Plumbing, Inc.
