Good day Sir. Thank you for your feedback. I did look into the situation and I believe a misunderstanding may exist. I looked over the history and it would appear that we have not had the opportunity to work with you in the past. I did however locate the call history from our after hours service and to be honest, I am a bit confused. You see, every call that comes in after hours is documented. One of the categories of the documentation is if same day service is requested, and in this case, it was not. Another category is if the call is regarding a leak, flood or a backed up drain and again, the response given was a no. When the operator offered to patch the call to a live plumber this too was declined. The following day when we received the call notes from the previous evening, one of our office staff members called you back and left you a voice mail to inquire if you did in fact need service and we did not receive a return call. I completely understand that during the transmission of information mistakes can occur however Im not sure why you graded us with an F especially in the category of Responsiveness when you did in fact connect with a representative of our company and apparently declined same day/evening emergency service. I strive for 100% customer satisfaction so please, feel free to reach out to me at your convince so that I may better understand the situation and correct any issues that may exist. Thank you. Respectfully, Nik VanNortwick Service Director

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We make strong efforts to insure that this does not happen. We have several office staff that handle the calls as well as an answering service that patches the after hour emergencies directly to the once staff so that we can provide customers with access to service 24 hours every day. Regardless, something clearly went awry and for that I offer my most sincere apology. I hope that we will have the opportunity in the future to shine for you. Nik VanNortwick Service Director

him. What a rip-off!! We live in a 3-story home and the toilet in the bathroom on the main floor started gurgling and then overflowed. We have forced air heat and the vents are in floor in that bathroom and kitchen. I turned the water off behind the toilet but it just kept overflowing, about half an inch or so. It flooded the downstairs. I called KK and they had someone come out, but it took an hour or so. I specifically asked that they bring a wet/dry vac, which they did not have when he got here. We have a washer/dryer on the top floor, which he spent a lot of time looking at, as he thought the problem originated from the washer. It didn't, and they bill by their time, so about 15-20 minutes were spent figuring out that it wasn't that. It turned out to be a problem with our sewer line outside. The guy had to go back and get something to unclog the line, AND get the wet/dry vac he should have had in the first place. And he billed for that travel time. I wanted to do the wet vac while he was working outside, but he didn't allow that - extra billing time I guess. In any case, the equipment he had to go back for, and bill us his travel time for, was inadequate to fix the problem. He did call an outside plumber/contractor to come, who was able to fix the problem in about 20 minutes, and charged $85. Also, the KK plumber did a REALLY LOUSY JOB of vacuuming up the water. It was wintertime and we had the heat turned way up, with a space heater as well, and it took days for the carpet downstairs to dry. Plus it smelled really awful. I will never, NEVER, use these people again.
Description of Work: Not much, and charged for their time to return to their shop to get equipment that they should have had when they arrived. So they billed us for travel time! When they left, without fully fixing the problem, the bill was $395! Really. He said he had to bill for travel time to go back and get whatever he needed. I was so furious but he was adamant and bigger than me, so I just paid

We have used Kevin Cohen Plumbing in the past and they always have done a great job at a fair price. Plumbing can be dirty work, especially when working with drains. They always clean up everything when they are finished. Today's job was a leaky toilet floor flange that had to be replaced. As in the past job was done in a reasonable amount of time and all debris removed.
Description of Work: Repaired leaking toilet flange.

They were absolutely wonderful! They were expensive; however, they were just out of this world! I couldn't say enough about them. They said that my job was the second hardest job that they had done. I owe them so many thanks for their work.
Description of Work: The sewer from my home and out into the street plugged up completely and they had to unplug the sewer for me.

Everything went smoothly, from first meeting Kevin Cohen's team at a recent local Home Show, to the estimate meeting, to the installation. His team spent a lot of time with us at the Home Show explaining their capabilities, listening to our list of plumbing needs, and then explaining the pros and cons of modern tankless water heater technology vs. traditional tanks. We set up a home visit for 2 days later. Kevin Cohen himself came out for the estimate and spent over an hour in our cob-webbed crawl spaces to fully understand the existing plumbing design, especially around our request for a recirculation line to the kitchen, laundry, and guest bath that are farthest from the utility room. He took photos to show his team. His thoroughness resulted in less work needed for that line than he originally assumed....translated to savings for us. He also discovered we already had a hot water recirculation line to our master bath, which we never knew (makes sense now since we never had a delayed hot water issue there) . Kevin listened well to what we wanted. We received a very detailed quote within a few days, with each mini-project broken-down including an estimated payback period on the future savings of putting in a tankless water heater. I researched online the cost and quality of the recommended tankless model, Rinnai's RC-98i, and learned it was a top quality model with very good reviews from consumers. His recommendation to include an auxiliary 6-gal electric water heater eliminated the hot-cold-hot sandwich effect one often hears about with tankless technology. Kevin's charge for the tankless was pretty much in-line with what I would have paid myself if I bought it online. No gouging there. Kevin's quote for the tankless system install and the hot water recirc line projects, in fact, came in $2300 less than a quote we received a year earlier from another local company. We accepted Kevin's bid and set up an install date. Installation day, Kevin and his friendly crew showed up right on time. With military-like precision, they set up shop and wasted no time getting to work. They knew what they were doing and it showed! The electrical sub-contractor arrived right on cue also, showing me exactly what work he had to do. Everyone kept me informed of their progress throughout the day. In fact, they discovered some dry rot I wasn't aware of and even gave me the name of a local construction company that could repair it. By mid-afternoon, they had everything installed and cleaned-up. They came back the next day for the anticipated city inspection and to test/check all water and gas systems, and balance the two recirculation lines. The City Inspector was a no-show that second day so one of Kevin's crew came back out the third day to ensure the city inspection went well and all was approved, again keeping me informed all along the way. Kevin's team and his office manager, Marcia, were always prompt in answering our questions and following-up on details. Kevin's team designed and installed a nice system. We now enjoy almost instant hot water in the farthest faucets of our house, especially the kitchen, which is 2 stories above and on the opposite side of the house from the water heater. No more waiting 2-3 minutes for hot water there! In addition to this convenience, we're also looking forward to reduced water, sewer, and natural gas bills. I'm looking forward also to filling up our 350 gallon hot tub with that outdoor hot water faucet. No more waiting all day for the hot tub to heat up! Brilliant suggestion from Kevin. A very pleasant, no-hassle, problem-free experience. Professional, honest, friendly, efficient, and high quality workmanship. We were also able to pay with our favorite credit card. We're now having him bid on a new kitchen sink and faucet install. Finally, they dropped off an Angie's List Review form on my front porch yesterday, not knowing I'm already a member. That says volumes to me about the integrity of this company when they actually encourage us to critique their work online.
Description of Work: 1) Replaced 12-year old 40 gal tank water heater with a tankless water heater and small auxiliary tank; 2) Installed hot water recirculation line, pump, and timer; 3) Installed exterior hot water faucet for filling hot tub; 4) Moved a utility sink in garage four feet down the same wall.

Kevin Cohen Plumbing Inc Kevin Cohen Plumbing Inc, I have used them before and I was really happy with the price. I called them and they were out within three hours, explained what they were going to do, dug a small hole and put about 45 feet of new pipe in, connected it, closed up the hole, and raked it. They didn't walk on my plants, no mess left anywhere, was very polite and the yard looks good.I was really happy!

Description of Work: I can't remember how much we spent. They did a ton of work: it was a huge remodel. They put in a faucet on the back porch that broke twice causing thousands of dollars of damage on two floors (had them come back and fix it and they froze again, inside the wall;) they put in a new toilet that leaked so I had them come back and fix it (they said it was because someone was peeing downt he side of the toilet- NOT) and it is doing the same thing again; they put in a faucet outside in front that is so low it is extremely difficult to use, even though I asked them to put an extension on it to rise it up. I would not recommend their work: I'm not going to bother to call them to ask that they fix this situation again!

The plumber was fast and efficient. He even offered a cap to cover the new plumbing so the sheetrockers would not damage the new faucet.
Description of Work: We had a two handle faucet replaced in the shower wall with a one handle faucet. The new faucet was centered in the shower wall unlike the one that was removed. A shot off valve was replaced on the commode and we also had the shower drain removed.

Very poor service.
Description of Work: I request repair/replacemnt of a hotter heater in a rental I own. I clearly described the type of water heater and the plumbing reps said they had one, but then put a different type in that should have cost less, but this was not the worst thing. The shower had a reduced flow after this work was done and after my renter moved out I purchased a replacement show system and installed it. The water flow was still reduced so i took the mixing valve off and had my wife watch as I turned the house water on. A bandaid came out of the hot water side. I hooked the mixing valve back up and now the shower works great as it use to. I did call the contractor but they had no response. I'm out a day of work and over $200, they will never see business from me again. Ken Schmidt

Kevin Cohen Plumbing Inc. was alright. Their prices seemed comparable to others in the area. They wanted to cut the dry wall to see the plumbing, but we convinced them not to and they had no problem. I was not happy with the fact that I might of had to do that. I was glad I did not.

Our service is covered by a home owner's maintenance contract. The service the way they rated it was about $1200.00. The price seemed a little high to me, but I was perfectly satisfied with them. I will use them again in the future as long as I don't have to pay for it.

Member - Thank you for using our services. We are happy to hear that you are a satisfied customer. I wanted to clarify your service call to other readers. In April 2010 we replaced your 50 gallon electric water heater. The cost to do that was $985.00. Then in June 2010 we were called back to your home to replace the point of use water heater under your kitchen sink, the cost to complete that work was $500.00. As you said your service was covered by your home warranty company so the out of pocket cost for you was very minimal. Thank you again for being a satisfied customer.
