I had a leak from my bathtub drain to the basement. I had 2 companies provide estimates. The first estimate was around $600. Holtmeier's estimate was $550. During the repair, one of the pipes fell through to the basement and cracked the sink in my basement and Holtmeier replaced the sink at no charge. I was impressed with their professionalism. I would highly recommend their services. Prompt, friendly and fast.
Description of Work: Replace bathtub waste and overflow and trap.

Arrived on time, was courteous and competent. I showed him the problem and he replaced the pipe, and checked for leaks. We had a pleasant conversation while he worked. It was a very short job, time-wise. Have had no problems since.
Description of Work: Replaced section of plastic pipe under the kitchen sink which had been badly installed, was too short and had come apart. Reconnected and checked for leaks.

Wouldn't consider a company who can't help consumers stuck in the middle of a remodel.
Description of Work: Return call from male rep was not interested in doing an estimate on remodel project because it was half finished. So if you get a bad plumber who started the project they won't help. Doesn't seem fair or professional. Not all plumbers are good or ethical, so what was their point and how is that helpful to consumers?

During our furnace installation, we noticed that the hot water expansion tank had a leak. We called Holtmeier plumbing based on Angie's List reports. I called on a Friday. They were courteous on the phone and anticipated that they couldn't come out until Monday. Then Andy Holtmeier called and said he could fit us in. We had the part fixed within a few hours of that call. Nice to have it taken care of so quickly.

He came the day after I called. Was very prompt and efficient. Didn't chat much. Got right on the job. I was happy it got done so quickly and so well but I was surprised at the cost. What I didn't care for was the receipt that I got didn't have the cost breakdown on it - just the total. I didn't realize that until he left. I would have liked to have had that for comparisons with other plumbers in the future. Though I liked the quality of his work better than anyone we have had before and we would probably use him again not having the separation of parts/labor bothered me. He was also very clean.
Description of Work: A pipe was leaking from the toilet. He replaced the pipe and the floater inside the tank.

Excellent. The serviceman, Tom, was very professional. Neat appearance, well spoken, arrived promptly and performed the service as competently or better than any plumber we've used in the Cincinnati area. He seemed very knowledgeable. This disposal was a warranty replacement for a defective model, but the warranty did not cover installation, so we had to contract separately for this, and I chose Holtmeier based on their Angie's reputation. Clearly it was a good choice, and I'll certainly go back to them for the next service. They are a bit pricey, but worth it as far as I'm concerned.
Description of Work: New disposal installed to replace a defective one (both purchased elsewhere)

I called a few plumbers in the morning to see if any could come that day. I was thoroughly impressed with the woman who answers the phone for them. She was a delight and very professional. She said they could come in the afternoon and would call if they could come earlier. They called at about 10:00 and said they could be there in 15 minutes. They arrived promptly and it was honestly one of the only times I felt truly comfortable with a handyman or contractor in my home. He had to go in through the wall panel to get to the plumbing so it left a mess on the floor. He even cleaned up after himself. He showed me everything that he was doing and told my about my pipes and gave me an estimate to one pipe replaced. I felt like he was very genuine and honest and I will use them again. It's hard to find a good plumber. I thought the price was a little high (and I forgot to ask for my angie's list discount. dang it.) This is the 4th plumber I have used in the last few months, but for the professionalism and trustworthiness I think it was worth it. Thank you Angie's list.
Description of Work: I had a bathtub that was clogged and the water would not drain. I tried to plunge it myself, use a snake, a whole bottle of draino and nothing worked so I called Holtmeier Plumbing and they found the problem (72 year old pipes that had never been cleaned+far away from the main drainage pipe=problem). He went in through a closet in an adjacent bedroom and took out the junk in the pipe.

I called Holtmeier on Wednesday and made an appointment for Friday morning. They said they would call at 7:30 on Friday to set a time. They called and said they'd be at my house between 9 and 10. They arrived just before 9:00 and finished the job in about 20 minutes. The toilet runs like new!

Andy introduced himself upon arrival, went to the bathroom to look at the drain and then went downstairs to see where the drain flowed so he would understand entire situation. He then used his equipment to clear the drain, which barely flowed. He also removed and fixed the drain opener/closer for the tub, which was stuck in one position. He left the area completely clean and was finished within a half hour. He gave me a small discount compared to other first customers because the referral was through Angies List.

I selected Holtmeier because they were rated #1 on Angies List. I called at 11 a.m. and did not indicate an emergency. They told me if they were not coming in the afternoon, they would definitely come the next day Then she checked, and found the owner would be here by 2! He came around 1 and was very professional. The repairs required new parts, and he had them with him. He made absolutely no mess. The cost of the job was appropriate for the job at hand. I highly recommend this company, and can't imagine using any other plumber.

I a very pleased with the company. I called this company because of the great reports they had on Angie's List. I talked with Maggie, the receptionist, who was very nice and helpful. Tom arrived at the time they said he would. He is a very polite young man, very professional, and I was totally comfortable with him working in my house. He was very honest about his advice, as I had a couple of other concerns. He assesed them and told me that I did not have to worry about them until things went bad, for example, starting leaking. I really appreciated his honesty with me on those matters. Sometimes in the reports people gave them a "B" on price, but to me they are totally worth it if they are a little higher. I will always call them for my plumbing needs. It is important to me to have a great company that I am comfortable with. They are coming back to do the other job that I need done. They were great and I would definitely recommend them to others.

They wanted to charge us just to come out to our house. He said that if he couldn't do the work then, he would have to charge them again for the next time he came out as well. They did not do any services for me. They told my husband that if he didn't quit asking questions they were going to charge more. He was very rude and unprofessional.

The valve on the water inlet to my house was leaking prolifically (several gallons/ hour) in my basement, so I needed someone to come as soon as possible. I called Holtmeier Plumbing and they had someone come to my house within 2 hours. Andy was very courteous and professional. He stopped the leak right away. After contacting the local water department to turn off the main water supply in my yard, he was able to replace the old valves (on either side of the water meter in the basement) with more reliable ball valves.
Description of Work: Stopped a leak on the water inlet to my house, in an emergency. Then replaced the "antique" gate valves with new ball valves to avoid future problems.
