Estimate is free but be careful because a visit is an assessment and they charge 150 dollars flat just to look and assess your plumbing problem. Every visit is 150 flat and would be deducted to the work. If you decide not to, you still have to pay 150 dollars. That is their fee. Be careful. They will also insist that you were aware and they mentioned that fee when you call them. Be very careful.

I originally called Mr Farley (who I did not know at the time) to finish a job started by another plumber who left my shower unusable after replacing a shower pan and changing the shower spigots. That plumber did not rough-in the valve back far enough to accept the trim and spigot which would make the shower turn on and off. When I called Mr. Farley Sr. he actually answered the phone, listened to my problem and Joe Farley Jr. came to my house the next morning and fixed the problem. I just recently had to call Joe Farley again for "toilet" issues which he quickly and efficiently took care of and also explained to me the reasons and options available as my home has the original toilets and pipes. Mr Farley installed a new toilet for me on this call and did a great job. I will be using them for any future plumbing needs as they are very professional, efficient and courteous. My only regret is that I did not find them earlier. Thank you Farley Plumbing and Heating.

Remodel was completed today. Everything Looks great.
Description of Work: Joe Farley & Son have been my plumbers before I ever joined Angie's list. They have repaired leaky pipes, put in a water heater, plumbed my kitchen during a remodel, replaced 2 toilets and vanities, and they are currently doing a bathroom remodel for me including a stack replacement. They do the job right, are courteous, and dependable. Trust them with any of your plumbing needs.

It went very well. He was able to come over shortly after my call. He determined the toilet leak and repaired it. I ask if he had time to look at my second toilet, he did and he repaired it also. Then I showed him the kitchen faucet and he said that he didn't have the right parts with him but after returning from his truck he did have the parts and repaired the faucet also. I got lucky that he had time to take care of all of my plumbing problems at one time. He was very professional, very pleasant and did a very good job.

Description of Work: No one replied to me so I had to try to find someone else. I was on a short on time and needed repaired quick. I end up going to home depot several times for parts and finally was able to do it myself. I have at least appreciated a return email to my messaged request.

When I called Farley's Plumbing my house was making me sick and I couldn't stand to be in it. I had been sick with carbon monoxide symptoms since I moved in and the air in the basement smelled just aweful. The Farleys picked up the phone right away, offered suggestions over the phone, and came out first thing the next morning. Joe saw that my water heater's flu was disconnected and explained that that was a health hazard. He connected and secured the flu pipe, saw that the cap on the chimney clean out was rusted through and barely there, so he replaced that too, corrected a not-so-great drain from my AC, and capped the soil stack. It made such a difference! The air in the house was so much better, and so was my health! Both Joes were professional, knowledgable, and great to work with!
Description of Work: connected and secured flu pipe, installed cap on chimney clean out, installed water line and shut off valve to refrigerator, installed pvc drain from HC condensate try to laundry tub, capped off drain in soil stack

The Farleys always do a beautiful job. I have used them in the past and plan to use them in the future.
Description of Work: Joe Farley and his son installed new bathroom fixtures (tub, vanity and toilet) after replacing the drains and piping needed under the floor in my 1950s bathroom. He coordinated very well with the tile installer. (This price includes the cost of the toilet and sink. I bought the vanity separately).

The overall experience was excellent. Joe was very flexible in scheduling and worked with us to re-schedule on a couple of occasions as we arranged for floor refinishing to happen, after old fixtures were removed (by Joe) and before news fixtures were installed. Joe and his son gave us good advice on what products to choose and on how to upgrade a baseboard heater in this unheated room. Over the last several years the Farleys have done two other major jobs for us, 1. Repairing the leaking connection of the city's very old water lline to the house's curbside pipe/connection 2. Replacing the old terra cotta sewer line with PVC. A ton of digging on a very hot day before even starting on the installation of the new line. The Farleys are great to work with, very responsive and efficient. I'd recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Joe and his son installed a vanity, coiunter top, and sink, They also created a new venting path for the dryer in this laundry/powder room, working through brick wall and sealing the old venting duct. They effectively leveled both the toilet and vanity in this room which is pretty seriously out of level.

They gave me an estimate over the phone and then came out to review scope of work. They then scheduled the work to be completed and still held to their price quote though additional work was required in the walls. They replaced inferior contractor installed items with items of higher quality. They were professional and courteous. They also were very neat and cleaned everything up completely.
Description of Work: Had new Toto high, elongated toilet with shutoff valve installed. Had outside faucets replaced with new and inwall repairs made with access panels installed.

I had done the research and learned that a plumbing contractor can get the Insinkerator Pro series, which is not available in stores. This model has a longer warranty than the comparable model available to the public. Joe was able to get the unit and install it promptly. Because the pipes were in such bad condition, the job turned out to be more difficult than had been anticipated. He performed all the work diligently and efficiently. Everything was left in perfect shape. I am delighted with the disposal, which is very quiet and works beautifully.
Description of Work: Replaced non-functioning garbage disposal with a quality Insinkerator Pro Essential, and replaced old, deteriorated trap and pipes.

Please see above. The services were never performed due to lack of follow-up on Mr. Farley's part.
Description of Work: Mr. Farley did not show up for an appointment in which he was to price our job. We called him a few weeks later and he apologized. We decided to give him another chance. He was helpful in terms of telling us what kind of fixture to get. Once we got all the information and were ready to schedule with him to do the job we called him. He did not return the call. Five days later we called him again. He never returned the call.

They improved the heat output of our boiler and radiators dramatically. Stayed late to finish the job. Refunded time they spent on an originally mis-diagnosed plumbing issue. Completed major (replaced radiators and some main heating pipes) to minor (repacked a faucet) work. We could not have been happier.
