Description of Work: Had a new toilet installed - John picked up the toilet, installed it and removed the old one. He was prompt, polite and very knowledgeable. I plan on hiring him whenever I need a plumber.

Communication was excellent. This is a very responsive, friendly and professional husband-and-wife business. They were able to schedule an appointment at my convenience within three business days of purchase. Mr. John Schoeffling personally came to my home and did the work. Task was completed quickly and perfectly. Very pleased and I will use them again for other misc plumbing issues.
Description of Work: Delivered and installed new toilet from Lowes, cleaned up and hauled away old toilet.

John arrived on time and did a great job installing my new kitchen sink and powder room toilet. He is very efficient and very conscientious. He does great work! John has been doing plumbing work for us for over 15 years! I always recommend John when someone I know is looking for a plumber.
Description of Work: John installed a new kitchen sink and a new toilet. He also installed a hot water heater for us a few weeks ago.

On a Tuesday, I had a company tech out to do my yearly check on my heater. He came down and told me he found some water at the bottom of my hot water heater (on the tray). I called John Schoeffling Plumbing within the hour. His wife, Michelle, was very nice - naturally, I was very concerned about water coming through my closet (my heater is upstairs in a closet directly over my bedroom. I live in a townhouse with someone underneath me so no basement.) It was barely wet and seemed to have condensation on the top valve. She called me back with a price - recommended one they would get at a supply house - said it was a better model then what you get at box stores. I never realized there was a difference. We set up an appointment for Thursday morning. She told me to call immediately if I saw any more water in the tray. It was only a few drops - I had been thinking I should replace the hot water heater since the house is about 15 yrs old and especially because of the location upstairs. They arrived at the scheduled time, did the job in an hour or so. They used the upstairs bathroom to drain, etc. John was very professional, dressed very neatly, and very kind. They put everything back in the closet, left the bathroom immaculate and I haven't had any problems since. I have very light carpeting and they had to carry the heater upstairs and down a hallway to the heater room. There were no marks on the wall, the rugs, etc. I had gotten John's name from his business card which was on the bulletin board in the mail room of my community. I have since spoken with several of the ladies who have used Schoeffling Plumbing and all have been very satisfied and happy. Since we are an over-55 community, it is nice to have a local plumber who does good work and most importantly, we can trust to be honest and professional.

This company installed a cook top purchased from Lowe's in November. It took weeks just to be them to come and measure for the cook top to make sure the one I chose would fit the opening. Once that took place in the beginning of December Lowe's ordered the cook top which took almost 3 weeks to come in, after I was told from start to finish should take no longer than 2 weeks. Schoeffling plumbing called and made an appointment for January 9, which I called Michelle Schoeffling and rescheduled for Monday January 16. Thinking that the install was being done on the 16th I arrived home on January 9th to find they arrived and did the install. The problem, the only person at home at the time has alzheimer's and didn't understand what was being done or why. The house was in a complete upheaval all the pots and pans under the cook top was full of sawdust, everything in the kitchen was a complete mess. I call ed Michelle to inquire what happen with the scheduling and she had no answer, but did say she would send the service man back out to clean the pots and pans. I felt she was being sarcastic.

I am very sorry this happened. When we are the third party allot of times are hands are tied on what we can do. I would have gladly came back out to vac the cabinet. I may have not realized the saw dust got down in the cabinet. Sarcasm is not something we use with business, we are just glad to be working. Give us another chance you will be satisfied.

The last 2 projects I tried to have him complete, his wife accepted the job, made the appointments, and he canceled 1 hour before. The first job was an emergency and I had to find someone very quickly to replace him. The second project his wife rescheduled at least 4 times, before they finally broke off contact. I am the fool for being so accommodating, but I just don't see the professionalism in their mode of conduct.
Description of Work: Previously hired John for many jobs; a very good plumber. However, regarding the last 2 projects I tried to have him complete, his wife accepted the job, made the appointments, and he canceled 1 hour before. The first job was a broken heater pipe, spewing water at a rate of 40 gallons per hour. The second was the installation of a vanity top and faucet.

I am very sorry this happened, I am not sure of the exact reason for this. It is not a normal practice for us. If we make an appointment we keep it. This could have been an honest mistake, please give us another try you won't be sorry. We are a one man plumbing shop and we no we are probably the most inexpensive choice. So call us and save money.
