This is the second time I have used Buddy's. They are polite and get to work on the problems quickly. The price is fair and they even do things that aren't asked of them, like tighten the toilet lids. I will definitely call them again when the need arises.

The first contractor couldn't do the job so they sent Buddy's Plumbing to do it instead. What happened was, after they got a lot of it done, they came back and told me the ground was too hard and that he's going to have to get a bigger machine and add one more day work and money to it. It was already torn up so I said okay. What was odd to me was that he had added extra day but he's worked 20 minutes only in it and he was late. When they were, we have this huge hill running all the way through the backyard and I asked them what they would do about it. They said that when it rained, it would go down. Well, I still got the huge thing through the backyard and the neighbors are angry so I'm gonna have to get out there myself and shovel the dirt away so he can reposition his van. So I would never use these people again. The price started out not too bad then it went up because they said they were gonna need a bigger digger to do the job. The sewer is working and we've never had trouble with it yet.
Description of Work: Buddy's Plumbing laid in a new sewer line from the toilet inside the house all the way up to the alley way.

Above does not list all of the repairs made. This home belonged to my father. He had let things go. I had them inspect all the of plumbing. The carefully explained and showed me all of the problems they found. Plumber and helper worked for 1 1/2 days to complete all the repairs. They were obviously very knowledgable and worked steadily. I'm surprised that the only break they took on a job this size was for lunch. I have used them several times in the past on my own home and have always been happy with them. I would definately recommend them.

There was water coming up through the floor in the bedroom. I contacted Buddy's Plumbing and they were able to come out and investigate within a couple of hours. The leak was located in the bedroom wall. The section of split pipe was replaced. I was extremely pleased with the work. The repairmen were very careful not to displace anything, repaired the leak quickly, and cleaned the area well before leaving. I will definately use Buddy's again as well as recommend them to my friends.

It went great overall. I hope the company flourishes, they are very personable, and get er` done attitude.
Description of Work: Thermostat and elements replaced in an anchient water heater even tho we bought this house only six years ago the tech said the only date he could find was 1982 OMG didnt really think I needed to make sure when I got the house it had all new appliances. Anyway they did a great jog, on this horrible hot day and on a Friday they showed up very punctually at 4:02 pm said theyd be here by 4:00 totally impressed. Coming from someone that has been bent over by several different companies I appreciate a straight forward no lolly gagging around job, in and out in an hour and a half including running for the parts to fix the old girl. I now have hot water and am glad I pick out Buddy Plumbing. I have already told them about 2 more things I need fixed wahoo.. Thank You very much Al and Dale you did a great job..

I called on Wednesday morning and Buddy said they could be out that afternoon to repair the leak they'd missed as well as install the bathtub spout. I told him the repairs were so minor that we could wait until Thursday. He said Thursday afternoon would be fine and they would be at my house around 3pm. He assured me he would call before they headed our way. No call, no show on Thursday, not even a courtesy call. I assumed they forgot about me so I called Friday morning and asked. He said that they had not forgotten but just got "too busy." He said they could come out Friday afternoon and that he would call to let me know they were on the way. They showed up at 3pm without any warning. Luckily, I was working from home and was here to let them in.Clearly, the responsiveness I experienced on the first repair is not as consistent as I originally imagined. It took them approximately an half-an-hour to complete the project and, so far, it is working as expected.On the positive side, both the plumber and his assistant again were very efficient and friendly.Also, they only charged me for half a service call, which I imagine is unheard of in the plumbing business, and he was even polite enough to ask if the $45 was acceptable to me! Kudos on the customer service.
Description of Work: This is a follow-up to the service call earlier in the week.We noticed a slight leak where there should not have been one since we just paid to have this particular plumbing fixed. However, it was a very small leak and I was sure Buddy's would come finish the job at no charge. However, I decided not have them come out for nothing and asked them to do another project for me (attach the down spout/diverter) as long as they were headed this way.

My wife and I tried to do this project ourselves with help from the internet so, of course, we ended up hitting Angie's List for a plumber that had done work in our area. I called Buddy first thing this morning and told him what we needed. He said he could have someone out around 3pm. The plumber and his assistant arrived at 2:45pm, 15 minutes after I got a call from Buddy letting me know they were on the way.Both guys looked like professional plumbers who had been in the business a long time. This was reassuring.They examined the problem and got right to work. This was a bit of a concern because I had not discussed cost with anyone and was not given an estimate for the project. It was completed in about an hour and the plumber took a few minutes to explain what he had done and offered some additional suggestions to help in the future.Total cost with labor and material came in at just about what I expected so there was no "sticker shock" even though no estimate was given. I would definitely recommend these guys but would also recommend they quote a price before starting work in case their next customer is more price sensitive.

When I called Buddy's to fix a leaky pipe in my crawl space, they were at my house within 30 min ready to work. They crawled under my house, diagnosed the problem, gave me a reasonable estimate and completed the work. I'm completely happy with their work.

Great experience. Do use Angie's list.
Description of Work: I have had at least three other plumbers try to fix my toilet in the master bath. After I had the floor retiled, the toilet rocked back and forth and leaked. I finally tried Angie's list since other places I tried sent idiots to try to fix my toilet. I got several recommendations, including spending about $300 for a new toilet. Used Buddy's Plumbing and for $160 they replaced a broken flange, put in a new wax ring and grouted around the toilet. I am VERY pleased and will use Buddy's in the future.

All in all the service was excellent. The plumber called ahead of time to let me know he was on his way. He was very polite and professional. The entire job was completed in just short of an hour. They did accept the Angie's LIst coupon for 5% off (since I was a new member).

I called Buddy's on Monday and by Tuesday morning the service man was at my house installing the faucet. He took extra steps to scour the sink area where the old faucet was attached. I think he even wiped out the cabinet under the sink. He worked quietly and steadily. Great Job!

My washing machine was overflowing from the washer pipe. Also need a new thing in the toilet because water did not stol filling in te tank. Service man arrived a little late, but called before coming to the houe. After talking with me about the problems, he went right to work. Snaked out lint from roof vent, and then from washer pipe. Got all the lint out and made sure everything was working before finishing up. Changed out the thing in the toilet before I even saw him do it. Fast! Very nice people. I will call them again for other needs.

I am sorry to see this report. I have tried to look you up in our books and I can't seem to find you, we like to make sure our customers are happy and would have come out to fix our mistake with no cost. I also apologize that our prices were too high for you, however installing a toilet for $90.00 seems very low.

Overall went well, because of problems with the store where I purchased the appliances they had to come back about 2 weeks later. Overall they did a great job.
Description of Work: They had to come up with the parts required to use the steam function on my new front loading dryer. They determined what was needed and proceeded to make it and get it all installed. Also had to install and then remove a dishwasher due to problems with the store where I bought it. They were professional throughout. Good job.

They have done some very good work for me in the last couple of months. They did some work for me both here and at another property. They were very professional, prompt, and inexpensive. They work with you; in other words they try and find the most reasonable solution to a problem. I will use them again in the future.
