well, multiple decision trees that required interaction with the owners of the home easy to work with, and knowledgeable took longer than planned, and was more expensive than initially proposed hard working

Lance showed up at one of my rent houses on August 28th and diagnosed a leak coming from my bathtub. He looked at it for 3 minutes before deciding he had to cut a hole in the wall to see the plumbing. Now that I know more about these issues, I realize that a good plumber would have first removed the drain (do no unnecessary harm type of thing) which turned out to be the problem. He then realizes he needs a part that he can’t get today and asks if he can come back. We schedule for 5:30 on the 30th. This is where it actually turns bad. At 3:30 on the 30th, he texts and says he has to cancel because he forgot about a school event. Apologizes and I say no problem. We reschedule for Friday September 7th at 3:45. On Friday I took off work early and while on my way home, he texts me that he has to move the appointment to Monday the 10th. Normally, at this point I would find a new plumber but since he cut a hole in my wall, I’d really like for him to finish the job and fix it. We reschedule to 3pm on Monday. Monday at 3:50, he texts that he is a muddy mess and can’t do it today and wants to reschedule for tomorrow. I ask him to please make it today because I don’t want to cancel on my tenants again. He’s starting to make me look incompetent as a landlord. He responds very apologetically that this never happens and he is so sorry and can’t come today and wants to make it up. At this point, while writing this, I feel dumb admitting that I rescheduled but I did...for Wednesday the 12th at 3:45. Before scheduling, I asked when he can 100% make it and he said he can definitely make it on Wednesday and if that doesn’t work for me, he’ll rearrange his entire schedule. He also thanked me for my patience and understanding. I take off work early again at 3pm to meet him. At 4pm, I text and ask him for an ETA. I call at 4:05 and get no answer. At 4:08 he texts and says he will not be able to come today or in the future due to “unforeseen circumstances”. I thought he must be joking but sadly he wasn’t. So to summarize...he cuts a hole in my wall and cancels on me FOUR times and refused to finish what he started. This is the strangest encounter I’ve had with a service person and being a landlord I’ve had some bad ones but never had someone drag me along (being very nice and apologetic the entire time) and make me waste so much time and look bad repeatedly to my tenants. Normally I’m not such a sucker so I take some fault, I should have found someone else after 2nd cancelation...posting this so others might save some time.

Great! He had my hot water going in 2.5 hours which was great because I have small children. The hot tank he had was cheaper than I priced them anywhere else! I will call Lance with all my plumbing problems!

Very well done. The part was found, installed, and the drain was cleared. Couldn't be more pleased with the service or price.

I am very impressed with the great work Lance did. He helped me understand the problem, answered a lot of plumbing questions (I ask a lot of questions), worked me in on short notice, and importantly, bid the lowest price to do the work. I would definitely trust him for future plumbing problems.

Not very good. The quality of work was below standards. He didn't do the work we asked for he had to redo part of the job. The new tub was damaged during installation and said the tiling would cover it up.

Response from Advanced Plumbing Specialists
The quality of work and scope of work was up to industry standard. We had a written proposal, which stated all the work to be done. There was a miscommunication of where to install shut off valves...which was specified in the written proposal. As for the damage on the tub, getting a 5' tub in an area that is 58" is a very difficult task. The area damaged was on the top lip of the tub where tile board and Sheetrock slide over to make a seal. We strive to do our very best to satisfy every customer and their plumbing needs. We are not only Plumber's, we are in the customer service industry as well. We have the very best price that we possibly could and never attempted to collect or add-on any other money, as many other companies so often do. If we give an estimate, we stick to the estimate even when there is an issue. If there is anything that Advanced Plumbing Specialist's can do, please let us know. We appreciate the business! Thank you!

It went excellent.Mr. Corbett was very prompt and courteous. He was also very professional and knowledgeable. He made me feel at ease and I felt very confident that he knew what he was doing.
Description of Work: My washing machine kept backing up. Advanced Plumbing came and snaked my line and used his camera to determine what the problem was. It was determined that I had a large root mass in my service line. Advanced Plumbing proceeded to remove the root mass thus clearing the line.

Outstanding, no problems whatsoever. Lance did an outstanding job and he has already followed up to make sure we were happy with the job. I am retired construction and cabinet builder and I am VERY picky about work done on my home. I have given his name to several friends and they have been very pleased with him. DO NOT hesitate to call him for your plumbing needs.
Description of Work: All new piping, cutoffs for four vanity sinks with all new faucets. New shower faucet, new jacuzzi faucets, and new bathtub faucets.
