I chose Rege because he lives close to my house and had good reviews on Angie's List. He arrived on time, immediately reviewed the situation, and gave me an estimate up front, which he stuck to. I had a slow leak from a corroded section of chrome-plated brass pipe that led from the cold water supply in the basement into the powder room faucet. Rege explained that because it was not a copper pipe, it couldn't simply be patched, the whole section (which went from the basement up to the bathroom above) needed to be replaced. In total the job took just under 90 minutes, and Rege was working hard the whole time. I felt the price was fair, $225 was the total including the pipe, fitting, and new valve. I appreciated that he does his own work - often plumbers will send 2 guys and only one is really working at once. (Although I felt a bit bad Rege had to make so many trips up and down the stairs!) Also he finished up quick, in contrast to some plumbers who stretch things out after the work is done. And he is a nice guy - so I will use him again in the future and recommend him to others.

He arrived on time and explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it. The relief valve was bad because of corrosion due to hard water. It was a bit over 10 years old. He replaced the valve and gave the valve to me to look at and to see the corrosion. then, as he had previously said he was going to do, he checked the whole house water pressure which turned out to be 100 psi! He explained that is should be no more than 60 and proceeded to check the whole house pressure regulator, which turned out to be bad too. We agreed on a price to fix that and he did so. The whole appointment took about an hour and I am extremely pleased with the result, as if the pressure had not been lowered, further damage could have occurred to all of my plumbing, as it had already caused damage to water heater overflow tank that had been fixed prior to closing. High water pressure was a previous cause of damage to a past home of mine so I am very happy that we got this fixed as soon as we did! Rege is very professional and I am very appreciative of his work and the fact that he was willing to travel out of his normal coverage area to help me in my new home. I recommend him highly!

saying he was at my place and where should he park. I told him (again) that I had to run to the store and was only 5 or 10 minutes away. He said he had been there for 15 minutes already which I had no idea about. I said you told me you had this funeral in Greensburg and told me you would be a while, so I thought I would run real quick (as had a problem) and be back, which I definitely could have been, but he proceeds to tell me to forget it! I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I called back to talk to him again and said , you know I can't believe you are doing this. You must not need the money very badly. He said something like he did but said he doesn't like working at Condo's and therefore didn't want to do the job! I have to wonder if all of these reviews are from legitimate customers or made up. I can guarantee you, I AM legitimate and that Rege Mcdonough is very rude and unprofessional and I would never recommend him to anyone. M.J. Pittsburgh, PA

I contacted Rege as my regular plumber was very busy. I read his review here and decided to send him a message on his website as it was Sunday night. Early Monday morning I got a text asking if he could call. I was asleep, so I returned the text later that morning. He called immediately and after a thorough discussion of what I needed done, we set up an appointment on Tuesday at 10am. He arrived early at 930, which was great! He quickly got to work and was very pleasant and professional. My disposal was installed and working by 1015! The cost was 269, which seems a little high, but I am ok with it as he was worth every penny for the ease of installation and professionalism he exuded. I would happily hire Rege again!

I discovered a leak under my sink this afternoon and searched Angie's List and found Rege McDonough. I called him and told him that I could hear a leak under my kitchen sink and that everything was wet. He came within a half hour. He found the problem and repaired the leaking water line. While he was here, I also asked him about my toilet flapper. The water in the toilet would spontaneously run 2-3 times per day for the last 7 days. He replaced the flapper. All in all, he was very efficient and I would definitely call him again if I had any plumbing problems.

Rege actually spent a total of 15 minutes in our home. He said that he couldn't fix the dripping shower head unless he broke out our shower tile to access our pipes. He then said that he fixed our running toilet and asked for $ 85 for his home visit. As soon as he left our home, our toilet started running again so as it happened the only thing that we got for the money was aggravation. We called him and let him know how dissatisfied we were with his service but he did not say that he would come over and complete the job to our satisfaction. Instead he told us that his work was not guaranteed. Our regular plumber came over later that week and was able to fix both of our issues (without breaking out our tile), and only charged us $50.

Mr. McDonough showed up at my house on designated time arranged between us, which was between 7:30 - 8 am. The job was completed within 1 hour. He was professional, cleaned work area and would hire again. I would also recommend him to anyone who needed a good plumber. He does the work himself and it was a pleasure to meet him.

I came home one evening to an overflowed basement bathroom sink. My upstairs kitchen sink/dishwasher drains down through a shared pipe. This has happened once before and I took care of it with several doses of Drano. That didn't work this time, nor did a 20' snake I tried. I called my regular plumber who was busy with broken pipes (this was during the first really cold spell) and later got sick, so he kept pushing the appointment back. I called other plumbers who were busy with similar issues and couldn't see me right away either. Needless to say, after 5 days of not being able to use my dishwasher, garbage disposal, and kitchen and basement sink I was getting frustrated. I looked local and found Rege, who came out in 15 minutes and had the problem solved in another 20. He was friendly and knowledgeable and gave what my regular plumber called a fair price for the job. Rege will now be my regular plumber.

Rege did a great job and was incredibly friendly and helpful. He's a Mt. Lebanon resident and knows how the older houses in this area are put together. Rege is our guy for as long as we live in our house.

The job was a little more challenging than expected due to some questionable work done by the contractor and a water main break in the neighborhood. My friends recommended Rege in the past and this was the first opportunity I had to use his services. He was prompt and professional and I will use him for other jobs and recommend his services to others.

We called Mr. McD in the morning after reading reviews on Angie's List. He came out that afternoon, assessed the damage, and repaired the leak in the drain line. He had all materials for the repair in his truck. He explained everything he was doing and worked quickly and efficiently. He cleaned up, and encouraged us to call him if there are any problems. All in all, a pleasant and professional worker who we would be happy to hire again and recommend.

Rege is professional.

Rege did good work. came out the next day to review probblem and agreed to come back on Saturday when I had more time to make the repair. I was also concerned that my watwer tank may need replaced and planned to ask him about that and he mentioned it to me before I asked him. I will have Rege back to replace water heater in the spring.

It was still flushing but the water was low and I was afraid my 2 year old had put something down the toilet. Rege answered when I called. He's local (Mt. Lebo--one of the reasons I picked him). He stopped by within 45 minutes. Fixed the clogg promptly. He was very friendly and professional. Would definitely use him again.

I got Rege's name from Angie's List and called. He answered his phone right away. He was able to come out later that same day. He is very professional and did an excellent job. He explained to me what the issue was and how he was to going to fix it. When he was done he cleaned everything up and showed me exactly what he had done. I definitely recommend Rege to anyone who needs a plumber and we will be calling him again when we need a plumber.

Rege is the best. I have used Rege almost a dozen times at my old house and my new house. Rege always answers his phone when I call and he can usually come to our house within 24 hours. Rege does excellent work and his prices are very reasonable. I would absolutely recommend Rege to anyone! On this particular service call, I thought that there was problem with my garbage disposal. Rege checked it out and determined that it was working properly. He did not charge me for that work. Rege determined that the internal hardware in the toilet was failing, so he replaced it. He explained the problem to me and checked the toilet numerous times to make sure that it was working properly.

It was an excellent experience. Rege was out the next day. He's a no fuss kind of guy---------grabs his tools, gets to work and knows what he's doing. Plus, he cleaned all the regular parts from years of grime before putting everything back together again. I definitely have saved his number for all future plumbing jobs.

A toilet had been slowly leaking in our powder room. My husband tried to fix it but was not able to control the leak. We called Mr. McDonough and he came that afternooon. He fixed the leak and explained to me everything that he was doing. He was very responsible and helpful and we would definitely use him again. He even fixed my front door (which was sticking and hard to open) on his way out! He is very courteous and professional.

He is my plumber. The last time I used him, I paid him $125. I can’t say enough good things about him and his services. He is a nice guy. He is honest and he does good work. He prices are reasonable too. I will continue to use him.

He came on a Saturday and fixed the problem. That was very nice of him. He is professional and punctual. He brought all the tools that were needed and fixed the problem.

Rege responded quickly to the call. He came exactly on time, did very neat and complete work and the charges were as anticipated. Rege is very friendly and competent.
