The plumber on site was great. It was an ominous job and he made quick and very thorough work of it. It was very expensive, though. Kwaitkowski told the plumber on site to charge me $595.00 for the three hours of work unscrewing everything. I needed the job done and the plumber did a good job, but it felt like the owner was ripping me off. I would have happily paid $300 but $600 is outrageous.
Description of Work: I needed an old commercial range and fire extinguisher system unscrewed from the gas line and taken apart.

They got in touch immediately and set up an appointment for the next day. Unfortunately they got held up on a job so we postponed for a day. Showed up on time - gave us a price that was a bit higher than we got from a previous company ( who wasn’t available) When the gentleman said he could do the work that day - we took it. He removed the old vanities - replaced old plumbing and set up the new ones. Cleaned everything up and took the old vanities to dispose of them. Everything looks great and works great. We’re completely satisfied with the work and work recommend.

First of all, Sissy, the phone receptionist was exceptional and professional. Prompt response, pleasant, thorough. The problem was that Kwaitkowski Plumbing had to postpone their appointment with us because of other appointments, and existing work needed additional time on jobs. We rescheduled with the Angie's list plumber. But before the new appointment date for the Angie's list Plumber our realtor said we could use the plumber already planning to be at the site to do work for the test. That worked out. We would definitely use your Angie's list plumber in the future. Thank you for your service.

Two days after they did work the tank was leaking again. I called them back and they said I now needed a new hot water tank and it would be another $1750. They offerred to take $100 off since they did that other waor 2 days prior. I did not let them do any more work after this quote.
Description of Work: Called for a leaking hot water tank. I called and said I needed a new tank. They came and said tank did not need replaced. Instead they replaced the PT valve, installed a new regulator and expansion tank. They charged me $900 for this work.

It took a puzzling 6 hours -including a trip to Home Depot 4 miles away to purchase parts- to replace 4 pop-up stoppers (1 tub, 3 sinks), even though the job presented only minor difficulties, if any. The original quote was $250 per sink, assuming a whopping $100 for each part. Although the stoppers ended up costing only $30 each, not $100, the final charge was not adjusted to $180, as it obviously should have been. Just ridiculously overpriced. In fact, the same plumber gave me a $925 quote to replace an easily accessible drum trap in the basement, which I rejected. The job was done by another company for $400.

I used K-Plumbing on two separate occasions in previous years and was very pleased with their services. Recently - in October and again in December 2013 - I scheduled two separate appointments and the same plumber missed the window that was promised each time. I did receive a call letting me know they would not be there on time, but I never received a promised call back to reschedule. This is disappointing considering how well they did when work was performed in the past. Because of the missed windows for the work to be performed and the lack of follow up to reschedule, I cannot recommend K-Plumbing.

He and his staff were courteous, showed up on time and did an excellent job. His approach to the aforementioned disaster in my kitchen was so far above that which was evidenced by the plumbing company that I had utilized for years, that he is now "my plumber."
Description of Work: Recently fixed a flush mechanism on a toilet. Earlier in the year, he repaired a pipe that had burst in an upstairs bathroom and brought down a large part of my kitchen ceiling (an hour prior to my wife's bridge club luncheon!).

The technician came and spent hours cutting out the iron pipe and putting in a new one, however, he cracked our walls doing so and the leak was not fixed. He left the pipe elbow going into the toilet and that was the part that was leaking. He had somewhere else he rather be and rushed through the job and left. When we realized that the leak was not properly fixed and called, we were told that was all that they were going to do. My husband and I spent 12 hours and a visit to Home Depot fixing it ourselves! $1800 and no solution + 12 hours of our own time! NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

Response from Kwiatkowski Plumbing
This is in response to the complaint that was filed on July 24, 2013 for a job completed on October 3, 2005. Removing and replacing a 4inch, cast iron soil stack requires a great deal of force and effort. At this particular job, their walls were made of plaster, a very brittle material that easily cracks when any force or vibration travels through it. Prior to any work beginning the client was informed of any possible risk and challenges that may ensue due to our proceedings and that Kwiatkowski Plumbing would not be held responsible for these complications. In regards to the leak in question, our technician would have never left the job nor would Kwiatkowski Plumbing have been compensated by the client if the work had not been completed on the agreed terms. Kwiatkowski Plumbing has an A+ rating with the Better Business Borough and we continuously strive for excellence. We apologize for any dissatisfaction you may have had but Kwiatkowski Plumbing will not be besmirched by such inaccurate and incongruous accusations.

Most recently I received an estimate from them on doing some re-plumbing for the Main bath which is being repaired/restored after a leaky pipe caused us to rip up the entire bathroom floor. We got an estimate from them of $6,000. Unfortunately, the insurance company was only paying $10,000 for the entire project (including repairing the damaged ceiling and beams downstairs) and I couldn't spend over half of it on the plumbing. I had to go with someone else - who did an adequate job but who was definitely less responsive and thorough than Kwiatkowski. They were also half the price. If you want the best and are prepared to pay for it - use Kwiatkowski. If you're on a budget, they may be too expensive. Price is the only reason I can't give them an overall rating of A. I am totally satisfied with their service. Unfortunately, their prices seem to keep rising and I'm not sure I can afford to keep using them.
Description of Work: I have used Kwiatkowski Plumbing several times over the past 5 years. Unfortunately, I do not have exact dates and prices. My contractor used them when we installed a Master Bath. I used them for fix plumbing backups, a shower that wouldn't turn off, to check a leak in the pipes in the ceiling, to reconnect a radiator that had been disconnected and and other issues. They have always been very prompt, very courteous and very good. As I recall the last couple jobs I had them do were around $800 (reconnecting the radiator and handling some leaks and backups).

I called for an appointment and Kwiakowski sent a plumber the same day. Rob arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the problem. He kept me informed throughout the repair. He worked at a very steady pace. Part of the kitchen ceiling had to be torn down for the repair. He left my kitchen spotless. I am a customer for life.

This is the second time we have used K-plumbing. Both times my phone call was either answered in person or returned within an hour. The plumber who came to our house this time found where the leak was coming from and did a speedy and clean job repairing it. He did have to knock 2 holes in our walls to find and repair the leak. One hole was to see where the water was coming from and the other to repair the pipe. He explained everything he was going to do before he did it. They are clear about their pricing, and will let you know how much the cost is before they start. I would use K-plumbing again, and would recommend them to any other members.

The pilot light on our water heater went out and wouldn't relight. We called Kwiatkowski Plumbing first thing in the morning. Within 5 minutes of picking up the phone, I had an appointment for later in the day. The technician was late arriving, but as I was an emergency appointment, that's not too surprising. I was just glad they were able to squeeze us in. The technician evaluated the problem and laid out my options. I could replace a part which might fix the problem or replace the water heater. He gave me a quote for each option. I decided to try just replacing the part. He couldn't get the part until the next day, but he was here bright and early the next morning with the part. It took a couple of tries to resolve the issue as the initial replacement part was faulty too, but he never tried to pressure me to give up and replace the water heater. He worked hard to get it fixed and cleaned up the work area when he was done. Despite the fix being harder than originally expected, he charged exactly what he quoted the previous day. I was treated with respect through the entire service experience. I never felt talked down to. From beginning to end, everything was clearly explained to me. No one ever tried to sell me products or services I didn't really need. I will definitely use them again.

They're great! They clean up very well. They do exactly what I want them to do no matter how difficult it may be. I appreciate how they gave me an up front estimate. Not only that, but they're rather personable as well. It only took them about three days to finish the project.
