We had a rupture to our hot water heater. Called Meetze and they provided immediate assistance. Within 15 minutes I was speaking to a plumber on staff. The water heater was replaced. Total time for first call to finished work was less than 3 hours. These folks are great.

The dispatcher scheduled us for a 3 hour window of time for the work to be done. They showed up late at the tail end of the scheduled window but did call 30 minutes prior to arrival indicating they were en route. Upon arrival we discussed the work needed for exterior faucets (replace 3 and install 1 new one.) We also discussed some options for increasing hot water capacity. They charge 50 dollars just to make the trip out. They charged $260 each to replace each of the existing faucets and $400 to install the new one. While I felt the price was high, I needed the work done and I had already committed the initial 50 bucks so I agreed to have the work done. There were two workers on site, the plumber and an apprentice for 3 hours total. Estimating roughly $50 / hour for both of them for a total of $300, that leaves $900 for overhead and materials. Feels a bit excessive but judge for yourself. I would probably not choose them the next time I need plumbing service on this basis alone. Having said this, the quality of the work itself was good based on what I've seen so far. Hope this helps others!
Description of Work: They replaced 3 outside faucets and installed 1 new one (for garden hose purposes.)

I have used another plumbing company in the past and always felt taken advantage of. Not with Meetze. I felt they did everything they could to get the job done well and keep costs down. When cutting the holes they considered the cost of replacing the drywall having to go around pipes or not. When he repaired the shower instead of replacing the whole drain as he thought he would, he saw just the seal was the issue so saved me $100 there. They waived the service call fee because we had to get so much work done. He double checked his work, cleaned up really well after himself. I just am really happy with the service. I really expected this to be much more expensive and take much more time than it did. They set me up with a contractor they've used for 20 years to get the drywall repairs done.
Description of Work: I had 2 leaks, they had to cut holes in ceiling and wall to find the issue. Ended up repairing a shower drain, put in new pipes in wall behind toilet because builder and punctured it with a nail, this included replacing the turn off valve, fixed loud toilet.

We found Meetze on Angie's list. We had a minor sink leak that we could not identify. The person they sent was very professional and was able to identify and fix the problem within 20 minutes. They only charged the $99 service fee, which given how remote we are, was well worth it. I would use them again anytime.

Lee Hagins, Master Plumber, and John solved our problem of a sump pump that was pumping too frequently. After a careful inspection, Lee and John adjusted the sump pump in our crawl space and also gave us sensible options for our discharge problem. We are so relieved that we don't have to hear the sump pump come on every minute and a half. We have tried other plumbers but we have faith and confidence in Meetze. We will ask for Mr. Hagins and John next time we need plumbing work!

My husband and I have only owned new construction until we fell in love with our newest home, which needed a few cosmetic upgrades. As we replaced all of the brass fixtures with oil rubbed bronze, we were inexperienced in replacing sink faucets so we called Meetze to help. We removed all of the old faucets so all they had to do was install the 3 new faucets for the bathrooms and the 1 for the kitchen. They originally quoted us $670 for install. I was shocked as this was way more than I paid for the faucets themselves. Needless to say we just had them install the kitchen faucet as it was a little more trickier than the others and we did the rest ourselves. As far as the service went, they were professional and their quality in work was top quality, so I do recommend them if you have deep pockets.

They were curteous and professional. The only negative was that she was expecting them between 11:00am and 1:00pm. and when she had heard nothing at 1:00 I called them and asked what was up. They apologized, said they would call me back when they called the plumber to see how much longer he would be and then the lady got "tied up" and forgot to call me back! I called again at 1:30 and she fell all over herself apologizing and the plumber showed up pretty quick after that and all was well. So I will still call them again a third time. Overall the two situations were positive. Everybody has a bad day once in a while and our first experience with them was top notch.
Description of Work: Replaced garbage disposal for my Mother. I referred them to her after a very positive experience with them for our plumbing problem. They were punctual, kind and curteous. The price was affordable.

Meetze Plumbing Co Inc. are excellent. I've known them for many years. Their price is high but they do great work. I've known them and they're good people. They're reputable people. They know what they're doing. They fixed my faucet and did a really good job for me. They've been in business for a number of years. They're very reputable and all of their employees are licensed and bonded. They show up on time, do the job and stand behind their work. They are good folks.

Overall. we have been completely pleased.
Description of Work: This is the most excellent plumbing service we have ever had. We had a leaking hot water heater in the fall, and called them based on Angie's List ratings. They came the next morning; gave us time to check on the warantee of the existing heater, and had one on the truck ready to install at a reasonable price. They hauled away the old one. Easy and fast! This spring our other hot water heater was giving us trouble, again, they came immediately to assess the problem. This time we decided to have a tankless heater installed. It was in a VERY difficult crawl space area, and they solved every problem that this job presented, which were considerable. Really nice people, very skilled, and gave us plenty of information about the situation. Today, I had them back to assess a water pressure problem. I got a thorough assessment with detailed explanations and pricing information. I will defintely have them do this job, too. We love Meetze Plumbing!

The service person recommended replacement at a cost of $1,500 which I felt was much too high. I ended up going to Lowe's and purchasing a water heater ($350) and calling an independent contractor who installed it for $125. The service person was very professional and went over all of the options. I was considering a tankless system ($3300) based upon his sales pitch about the advantages but decided to check Consumer Reports and found their conclusion that the expense outweighed the advantages because of the amount of time that it would take to recoup the cost difference. The $49 was for the service call.

I was told by the technician who came to work on the problem that it would not be easy to pry the corroded pipe out of the tank and if he was not successful in doing that, the entire tank would have to be replaced. After about 30 minutes of working with it, he was able to get the pipe out and replaced with a new one. I was very relieved when I found out that my old tank had been saved! I will definitely call Meetze again. They came when I called, without my having an appointment, were very professional and helpful in giving me their best service.

I called on Friday and they were able to check my water heater first thing Monday morning. The office staff was very nice and accomodating. The service folks, Lee and Dawn, were very nice, punctual, professional. I could not have asked for better service. They checked the problem and the water heater was leaking from underneath. They quoted me the service and then began to remove the old water heater. They told me when they were cutting of electric and water supply. Delivery of the new water heater was quick and they were finished within a 3 hour time frame. Excellent work, could not have asked for better.
Description of Work: The services were great. They were punctual, efficient, professional and friendly. I probably should have shopped around more and gotten a few more estimates. I thought their pricing was high. I had checked with Lowe's and they quoted me a price of $800.00 for the same service. Next time I need a service, I will get more estimates.

Our kitchen sink would not drain and was backing up when we used the garbage disposal. Little pieces of pinestraw (yes, pinestraw) was in the backed up water. Also, water was backing up into the dishwasher. We tried using the plunger but didn't have success so we called Meetze Plumbing. The plumber, Lee Hagins, arrived soon after the call and determined that the vent on the roof must be clogged with pinestraw. (Don't understand about vents on the roof and plumbing, but trust me there is a connection). Since it was already dark, we all decided it would be better if the work was done the next day. He called the office to see who would be available early the next morning (he was not scheduled to go into work until 11:00 A.M. the following day). While on the phone he decided he would change his plans and come to our house himself the next morning since he was familiar with the problem. .He was at our house the next morning as scheduled and had the work completed in a short while. We were very happy to have our kitchen back to normal! We will definitely call Meetze Plumbing--and ask for Mr. Hagins--the next time we have a plumbing problem. ($194.00 does not seem unreasonable to me when you consider that the plumber came after dark one day and returned the next morning with an assistant and had the problem solved in a short while. It was a valuable and appreciated service.
