Description of Work: We had a schedule appointment for 4/22 at 10am. They called me at 8 am, and said they would not be able to come out due to rain. Now, it's 10am, the sun is shining. They definitely could have done the work, but they were pretty negative about the job. It was a small job, they didn't say they wouldn't do it, but they didn't seem like they wanted to.

Response from Tarvin Plumbing
We do not have any record of doing this job-assuming that it was canceled. We cannot control or predict the weather-we make decisions based on the best value for the customer and do not intend to offend anyone by that.

Response from Tarvin Plumbing
This was 10 months ago. We are assuming that the complaint is about the owner's dishwasher that we installed. A new floor had been installed by others. The new dishwasher had to have the legs removed in order to fit the space. The dishwasher had a plastic kick plate which the owner's wife had stated that they would cut and install. We returned the next day and cut and installed the kick plate at no charge. We are assuming that we would have heard something else during this time if there were still an issue--perhaps it's easier to just give a bad review?

Description of Work: Replaced Toliet flang and water supply line. The company sent 2 men c to do the repair, they were here about an hour going back and forth to there truck be outside for 10 mins at a time or longer. After the first hour they said they needed to go to a hardware store to get soder to finish the job, and that they would be going to lunch, they were gone about an hour. Came back finished the job in another hour. I was charged for 3 hours of labor when they only had 2 hours here. Had to call them back the next day because the toliet was loose at the base rocking back and forth, couldn't get to me until the next day. Another hour spent to secure the toliet to the floor.

Response from Tarvin Plumbing
After reviewing the invoice the customer wasn't charged for the 2nd man. The customer was only charged our normal hourly rate of $120 per hour. We received the call on 3/26 at 3:26 pm when the last job we schedule is at 3:30. The customer was told that we wouldn't have anyone available that day and we would be out on the following day 3/27. The job was dispatched at 12:46 pm and the customer wasn't charged for the return visit. In the interest of fairness we will just take the customers word and reduce the charges to 2 hours. We are sending a refund check for $120 dollars.

Description of Work: Opened the basement drain running from the kitchen/laundry to the sewer. We couldn't do dishes or laundry without water backing up into the basement family room floor drain. They contacted us soon after we purchased The Deal, made an appt to come that same day and called ahead. Their plumber was very professional. We would definitely call them again.

Description of Work: We had a problem with a frozen pipe that had split so that the water had to be turned off. When I called, they were able to send a plumber within two hours. He was able to repair the break and have the water turned on in about an hour.

Description of Work: Secured toilet to floor after installing new flange on sewer pipe. Work done in a professional manner. Overcharged me an hour's labor. After questioning the bill, an adjustment was made. Technician apologized and stated that the overcharge would have been noticed when his receipt time was totaled at the end of the day. All is fine...we all make mistakes.

Description of Work: My Zoeller sump pump stopped working in the basement and caused moderate flooding in my finished basement - Tarvin Plumbing was very professional and very quick to respond as I was having surgery in 2 days and needed the sump pump replaced. The bulk of the cost for this work was mainly for the sump pump itself due to the brand name / model. Mike Tarvin the owner was more than professional and it was so nice to actually talk to a real person when you called his business line. I will definitely be using him again in the near future as I have a laundry basin I need to replace. Thank you Tarvin Plumbing. Very happy customer
