They fixed it properly and did a nice job. I have no complaints whatsoever. We would probably call him again. The plumber was a very nice gentleman. He was professional. They were very prompt, and the price was in line.

They were quick to schedule, on time, very professional. They wore booties in the house. Office staff was easy to deal with. Rate was reasonable. I'd use them again.
Description of Work: I had a toilet that backed up almost daily. It unclogged with a little plunging, no big deal, but it was time to do something about the annoyance and make sure there was not something more serious. The plumber evaluated the system and determined it would be a minor correction. He also showed me where some parts were just about to fail, so I had him replace those as well. I've not had a clog since.

From my first phone call, Joe Lucas went out of his way to be helpful. When I was unsure of what I needed, Joe came over and discussed all my options and gave me a reasonable estimate. During the installation process he came personally to check on the project. When the new refrigerator proved "too big to deliver" per the delivery company, Joe said" nothing is impossible" and arranged enough workers to lift this huge appliance over the barrier. Because of their attention to detail and overwhelming care of my home (I lost count of the drop cloths used to protect my home!) I have decided to do more work than I originally planned. The Lucas crew was fabulous in every way!!

They were terrific because they were able to come right away. I called them and needed it that day and they did it. It was a top of the line toilet. I could have probably gotten it cheaper somewhere else but how often can you get somebody to come right away. The installer was great and did an excellent job. He made an effort to be well dressed and he was obviously educated. He was one of the cleanest contractors for cleaning up afterwards that I've ever had come to the house. He got right to work when he got here. The toilet is great.

Foreman quoted a price range over phone and we scheduled work for Thursday morning. Two workers arrived on time, were polite and took care to protect floors upstairs and keep work area clean. Job was understood by them and neatly done in about an hour. Cost was as quoted. Here is where doing your homework comes in as I did get other quotes for the job. I did not use another company that said they would come out before noon to quote the job. They showed up at three pm and quoted almost double what I paid.
Description of Work: Called them on Tuesday, explained the need to replace 15 feet of 1/2 inch natural gas supply pipe branch from main to gas stove in exposed area of basement ceiling.

Alx called me on the way to the appointment to inform me that he was on his way and arrived on time. He was professional, personable and took the time to explain what he was doing when I peppered him with questions. He wore booties, removing them each time he left my residence and reapplying them when he re-entered, to keep my floor/carpet clean. (I'd not experienced this with other companies who have completed work in my home and appreciated the courtesy.) I have since recommended Lucas Ltd. to others. My neighbor just used Lucas for some plumbing problems she was experiencing and was very impressed!
Description of Work: Installed new shut-off valve to exterior outlet. Fixed problem with toilet, which included replacement of wax seal, toilet bolts, flapper, supply tube & caulking at floor.

My overall experience with them was excellent. I liked everything that they had done. They spent a lot of time explaining some things about plumbing to me. They did a great job in installing the new fixtures in the bathroom. I paid $600 to $800 for the job. They were not the cheapest of the companies around. They have also done a lot of work in my house earlier to this. They had replaced a new toilet in the upstairs by yanking the old one off the floor and installing a new one.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Lucas Limited in June 2010. They installed new fixtures in the bathroom of my house. They did not provide the fixtures and I had to buy them.

A previous plumber (from another company) came out twice and re-sweated the joint. The first fix lasted a day, the second a week. I gave up and tried Lucas. They replaced the bad connection with minimal collateral work needed. Very prompt, excellent quality.

The mechanic, Rick, arrived when scheduled, & did an excellent job from start to finish. He explained every phase of the work that he had to do. He was knowledgeable, professional , friendly & worked straight through for six to seven hours. He cleaned up everything & took it all away for disposal including the old fixtures. We are glad we have a local plumbing company we can rely on.

He did a fine job moving the drain down and installing the new toilet. His work was well performed and his prices were market price. However, I was installing a new vanity and thought I might need some help adjusting the drain pipes since the old and new vanities were slightly different sizes. It left a very bitter taste in my mouth when he tried to convince me that instead of cutting slots for the pipes in the new vanity (which I had already done) that I should instead pay him $700 to have two guys come out, rip open the wall, and move the who drain system over. This was all ostensibly in the name of not "tearing up" the new cabinet (which, again, I had already done). I got that same feeling you get when you go to a mechanic that tells you your car has problems it doesn't have so he can charge you to fix them. This time though, with home improvement, I know enough to know he's trying to pull one over on me. It also bothers me that with people who know less about it, they may have shelled out the $700 to him which would not have been necessary. They do fine work, but I can't in good conscience recommend them unless you know exactly what you want them to do. Otherwise, you may end up paying for something that you don't really need.
Description of Work: When we had our floors rebuilt and tiled in the bathroom the floor came out about a half-inch lower than the toilet drain. He came to cut/adjust the drain down to the floor, replace the flange, and install a new toilet. We also had him look at a drain that might need some adjustment since a new vanity we were installing was slightly larger than the old vanity, but were only having him quote for this portion when he came.

This started as a simple home-owner project, but after I crimped the copper too much ... I called for a plumber. Arrived next morning (although not an emergency - had 2nd stop valve available). Laid out towels to work on (first time I've seen that). Replaced tap-valve and stem, plus supply tube, fill valve and flapper inside the cistern. I didn't actually ask for that - he kind-of did it automatically, but when he showed me the condition of the ones he took out - no question! First solder attempt failed - minor leak. Second attempt solid. Given the very cramped quarters he was working in I'm kind-of surprised he didn't set fire to anything. He must be double jointed.
Description of Work: Replace leaking shut-off value to toilet, replace innards of cistern.

We moved in to this 20 year old home about 2 months ago. All 4 toilets were either overflowing, leaking, stained, discolored and of course not energy efficient. I asked a friend if she knows a plumber and she immediately gave me Joe's company. Then I looked up Joe's company at Angie's List. I called them and spoke to Joe himself. He first wanted to know what I needed done and he made several suggestions. When I told him that the toilets were approximately 20 years old and I just want it changed he respected that decision. He suggested several brands of toilet that were of good quality. When I told him the brand I wanted to use, he first wanted to research the toilet and see if it was not going to give me problem in the future. He called me back and he said it was excellent and he scheduled his crew to come the next day. At first, they said the work will take 4-5 hours, but it only took them about 2 1/2 hours. They were very neat. They covered the bathroom with with a canvas cloth. When they left, you could not see trace of dirt or caulk. All you see is this shining brand new toilet.
Description of Work: Ordered 4 toilets, installed the toilets and removed the old toilets.

Quality of work, time it took, promptness and professionalism of the company's staff on telephone, and service person were very satisfying.
Description of Work: Sump pump broke down and needed replacement. The service person came promptly. He was very courteous, and was willing to speak with the American Home Shield representative for a few minutes to get authorization for the replacement work. Work was completed expeditiously and professionally. We are very satisfied with the quality of work. A little on the pricey side, but after partial reimbursement from AHS it should be reasonable.
