I have used Goodman Plumbing before to fix the bathroom toilet and upstairs clogged tub. Now my hot water tank went so I called on Friday night and the plumber talked me through on how to shut off the hot water tank water and the pilot. He said that he would be there first thing in the morning and he arrived before 9 AM. Very friendly, helpful, and gave me the price before the work was done. I forgot that I have an Angies List coupon so I will give them a call. They are always so wonderful to work with that I do not suspect that there will be a problem getting this money returned.
Description of Work: Removed a broken 30 gallon hot water tank that was standing on bricks and replaced it with a 40 gallon tank that is on the floor.

Came out and checked sewer line w/camera (priced more fairly than other providers). Completed work as explained. Returned with camera to recheck (no added charge). Found another issue and priced as if they were doing the entire job at one time. Returned for second half of job in a timely manner and fully corrected the issue.

The plumbers showed up even though the weather was not so pleasant. They were respectful of my home to include taking their shoes off as to not track snow into my house (without being asked to do so). They worked efficiently, were priced reasonably, and left the work site cleaner than they found it. I have had a lot of trouble with plumbers being punctual and honoring the price they quoted, however Goodman was spot on in both aspects. I would recommend to one and all. Thanks again!

We were out of heat in the house due to the weather condition. We called Goodman Plumbing since we've used them in the past and have done a fantastic job. We got scheduled to have the tech come out the day after, which was not bad, since there's probably alot of people that are having plumbing and heating issues like us. On the day of the schedule, Stan called and let us know that he's on his way. He had asked me a few questions regarding the problem and had mentioned that he thinks he knows what's going on. When he came and confirmed his suspicion, he provided us with different options, and had gone out to buy parts for our broken boiler to get us fixed right away. It turns out that our 1979 boiler have had a melted part since it's probably working overtime recently. Stan had told us the option to replace it. It is an old unit after all, way past it's suggested lifespan. We were very happy though that he and his partner had fixed our heating to get us by. We will definitely call them back once we've decided to do the replacement.

I wasn't quoted a price as to what it could be. I found out when the gentleman was here that it a little expensive to even diagnose the problem and it could be more depending on the actual problem. He did snake my toilet and it initially fixed the problem, but the problem has reappeared. I have since contacted the owner who was more than willing to make amends and has refunded the cost because I was not aware of this price in the first place. Robert Goodman is a fair person. He would go beyond the call of duty to accommodate his customers. He wants to be known as a fair person.
Description of Work: My toilet was clogged. I told them I had a clog that kept appearing. I told them I snaked it out multiple times but the problem kept coming back. They said they would have somebody else call me back so they could send somebody out.

Plumber was able to come up with a washer based solution, as new parts no longer exist, that successfully shuts the water off while we plan for how to handle the broader problem - the tub and shower unit needs to be replaced.

Very, very well. One of the best contractor projects we've experienced. Courteous, professional, easy to work with, skilled, considerate, informative and helpful in making decisions. We'd gotten several quotes and their pricing was in line with the others, if not a bit lower.
Description of Work: To replace the tub drain lines, they had to remove/replace the tile floor in the upstairs bathroom (original lines were very old and made of lead). Also they replaced the toilet with one we purchased, as well as the vanity. New tile work was done on the bathroom floor.

This afternoon, Dave finished installing a brand new heater and the office kept me informed throughout the day, which is not something I am used to experiencing. They were punctual, professional yet made the technical stuff easy to digest. They also were terrific with the tenant. This entire situation from initial breakdown to finding Goodman on Angie's List to repair to paying the balance took literally 4 days. As a business owner, I am well aware of how much time can really cost. Not knowing who to call in an emergency can be daunting, especially when you have not experienced this particular type of problem. I could not recommend these guys more highly, and will make a point of referring them whenever possible. Stan, Dave...you guys are clutch.
Description of Work: During a rough patch of weather and late on a Saturday afternoon 1/25; I was able to speak to someone at Goodman. A rental property, with a brand new tenant, had experienced a complete loss of heat. The operator told me I would receive a call within 30-45 minutes. Within 30 minutes, Stan called me to talk about the issue. He talked me through a basic assessment of the heater so as to best handle it upon arrival. We coordinated to meet the following morning to evaluate our options. A replacement was needed. Stan reviewed our 2 best options once we decided, he ordered the machine online to streamline any wait time and ensure the fastest possible repairs. He ordered it right there, no stall tactics, no waiting for someone to call. This made a major impression on me.

They did a great job, clearly knew what they were doing, did what they said they were going to do, took all the necessary precautions and I have no complaint about the work except for their clean up. They threw some of their stuff into our recycle trash can which I wish they would have asked us before hand. They were diligent, knowledgable, on time and I will use them again.

He even sent me a picture of another house in the neighborhood that he had just worked on and verified my picture of my drains. Bottom line, later in the day the drain cleared and all was back to normal. He saved my money and his time by resolving the issue in the way that he did. Although I did not actually "use" their services, Goodman Plumbing served me well and I would definitely call them again.
Description of Work: I called plumber because toilet was backing up. He called me back a little while later and said that he thought that problem was a frozen outside drain pipe.

They have been good. They are punctual, very neat, very clean and friendly. They are knowledgeable. They did what I asked them to do going forward, so in the event that they have to do this again, it would be a lot easier for them dealing with the next home owner. They did the work exactly how I wanted it done.

I scheduled the visit ahead of time. I was given the time slot of 8:30am to 12 pm. Jim called at about 7:50 to let me know he was on his way and then arrived at 8 am. He was knowledgeable, polite and professional. He had the part he needed with him, and he finished at 8:35 am. The unit now works perfectly.

Came very fast to an emergency leak (water spraying everywhere). The came within 2 hours and realized that the curb stop valve was offset so they couldn't turn it off. Got the spray down to a drip and had to order special tool. Scheduled to come back following Saturday (this was Thursday) but came back following Tuesday (fine with me as it wasn't an emergency anymore. Bill, my technician was good at explaining the situation and honored the AL coupon. I would recommend based on quick response, good communication and doing what was promised.

I tried to get 4 estimates. Weideman never called back, Vesey came, but they never called with an estimate. we played phone tag, but they didn't bother. Best Handyman I offered them a job that I didn't mention to others, but they never called with an estimate. I tried calling all of them but only goodman was willing to come out.
Description of Work: 3 men came in and fixed a gas leak, a toilet and the front and back faucets. They also noticed that the gas line was in a precarious position. It was moved from the ceiling by the Verizon people and lowered to behind the washer. They fixed that. When 2 other companies came by to give me an estimate, they didn't see that, even though it was the pipe with the leak. They were efficient and cleaned up.

It was a bitterly cold and icy morning when I called Goodman Plumbing because we could not use any of our toilets, sinks or water using equipment because the main drainage from the house was clogged. this was a Sunday morning 8 AM and I reached their service which took my information and within an hour I heard from Tim, who said he would handle it today and call me as soon as he was on his way to our house. I would have preferred to have been told approximately what time he would arrive but as promised he called back at 11:45 AM to say he would arrive in 20 minutes, which he did. He walked into the house and after hearing the problem , knew exactly where to look and found that tree roots had created a blockage in the main sewer pipe, outside the house. He got us up and running after about 90 minutes of hard work out in the cold. Unfortunately he advised us that the tree root problem is relatively common in Philadelphia and at some point we will need to replace this entire sewer line. For the moment ,however, we have working bathrooms and clean clothes.

We were without hot water on a Sunday evening. We called Goodman at 8:30 am on Monday. The team arrived by 12:00, determined that we needed a new water heater. It was installed and they were gone by 3:30. They were professional, clean and neat. They even took the old heater with them.

He was able to pinpoint the problem to being a PVC to copper connection. He gave me a quote on the spot and replaced the PVC with a copper pipe and that resolved the issue.

Upon arriving onsite to install a pressure regulator that I already purchased, the plumber gave me a quote which he honored. However, I was under the impression that this involved several hours of work. He spent less than 30 minutes with a helper and performed a good job, but the overall price hit the outrageous scale (The equivalent of $550/hour, more than high-powered corporate attorneys).
Description of Work: Installed new [customer supplied] pressure regulator.
