I found them years ago and the job went on great. He was knowledgeable and he showed up. I will recommend to use him and will use the same in the future. He is a little slow.

I was given a three hour window in which the plumber would be out. 30 minutes after the end of the three hours, I had neither heard from, nor been visited by, anyone from this company. I called, and was told the person was still on the job prior to mine, and was running late. I asked why I hadn't received a phone call, and was apologized to, but never really given an explanation. I will be enlisting the services of another plumber to do this work.
Description of Work: I was needing to replace my tub faucets (stems, handles, etc). I called Meetze to give me an estimate, and was told I couldn't get one on the phone, but the plumber would need to come out.

Service was great. Staff and technician (Dale) were all very nice. They had the best price of all the estimates we had gotten and took care of the paperwork for a state rebate. Everything was completed competently, quickly and cheerfully. We love our tankless hot water. Our gas bill has dropped significantly.

Superior service for less than the estimate. Lynn is a Master Plumber, and from the moment she gave us the estimate, we had no doubt that she knew her business. She and her assistant Woody showed up on time, did the work quickly, and cleaned up after themselves. Our dog even liked them, always a good sign. We will definitely use them again should the need arise.

Our kitchen sink suddenly stopped draining on a Sunday! Called Meetze plumbing and spoke to a live person, who said she would page the technician. Within 5 minutes the service technician on call returned my call. He arrived within 1 hour (this is still on the same Sunday). He fixed my problem in 50 minutes, told me what he did, explained how he did it, showed me where he did it. No mess left behind either. Since this was done on a Sunday I'm OK with the price. In the initial phone conversation, he explained it would be cheaper on a weekday. I'm very happy with the service I received and would fully recommend Meetze Plumbing.

Have only had our house for 3 weeks. since we moved in, the upstairs toilet has overflowed 3 times. this after i plunged and cleaned it. today, it over flowed again, and I called Meetze because of Angie's List. I said i could meet them at the house after 2 O'clock, i got a call at 150 saying they were at my house. As i was in a meeting from work, i explained i couldnt be there any sooner than 20 minutes. It was a non-issue for the rep, they waited at my house until i arrived. I showed them the problem toilet, and he went to work with an auger. when the toilet drained, he tested it by running several flushes with paper in it to make sure it wasnt a clog. all seems fine, but only time will tell. they were very pro, and very nice, i just hope that did the trick as the water leaks down into our pantry when it does over flow. I used a $25 off coupon i got here on Angie's list. thanks!!

Dale, is the plumber that came out to my home. He was very polite, considerate and even put on paper booties to cover up his shoes. He cleaned up after himself and didn't leave a mess. I have been working on the plumbing for several weeks and he was able to get the problem cleared up very quickly and efficiently. I have worked with a lot of contractors in the past and he is by far at the top of the list. He was a master plumber and was such an expert in his field. They have me such a good price and he did a lot of work for not a lot of money. I was very impressed.
Description of Work: He worked on our plumbing on our hall bathroom.

Asked Meetze for an in-home estimate. Once price established work commenced immediately. Defective part became evident within a week, but team replaced part, and have absolutely no issues since.
Description of Work: Meetze Plumbing performed stellar work. Crew showed up on time, had all the rights tools, and completed job fast. Job included surge tank, pressure regulator, and anti-scalding valve for solar hot water (panel installed myself). Regulator had a defect and needed replacement within a week, but crew again was professional and speedily resolved issue without quibble. Great job guys!

They came and gave an estimate and it came in $300 under the estimate so that pleased me. They gave me the worst estimate but the price ended up being the best. They called because there was an emergency and asked if they could come two hours late since my job was not an emergency.
Description of Work: Meetze Plumbing replaced the pipe for the ice maker in our freezer because it was leaking, they replaced our disposal, and they fixed the sink in the bathroom.

We had to call them back because the leak came back. But it seems to be fine now. They are the best you can get in our area. They are the ones you want to call if you have any serious problem. Their price is a little above medium.

Called for an estimate -- was given an estimate appointment right away. Meetze Plumbing was there before I was! Upstairs shower had strong steady hot water leak that we could not fix. I had a brand new set of shower fixtures that I wanted installed; however, an access hole had to be placed in the closet in a room that was next to the shower in order for this type of fixture to be installed. I was given two estimates -- one to fix the leak, & the other estimate to fix the leak and put in the new fixtures. Plumber was courteous, polite, a gentleman, & very considerate of my home. He moved the things in the closet so he could put in the access panel -- I was envisioning that wall board would have to be cut and I would be the one to replace the wallboard and repaint! Plumber did it all -- cut the hole, installed the brass piping, did a lot of great work. When I went upstairs to sign off on the job, you would never know that someone had just done all that work. Closet was put back together, access panel attractive (no wallboard & no painting for me-- yea!) Overall -- a wonderful and great job. Extremely pleased. I thought the price was spot-on considering the time it took and the care given and skill of the plumber. Highly recommend and will definitely use Meetze Plumbing again. As you can tell, very pleased.
Description of Work: strong steady hot water leak in upstairs shower. Old fixtures removed, problem fixed, installed new fixtures that I had previously purchased. Access panel had to be cut into wall to gain access to change out the inside brass fittings of shower -- because the ones I bought did not have the same size brass stems. House is 25 years old and had no access panel in case of a need to get to the plumbing.

They were very prompt. It was a $3,000 system when all we needed was to have the tank taken off. They were very good but they were not prepared to take the tank loose even though they were a plumbing company. We got another company to do the work. Meetze was very nice and they came on time. They followed up and were real good. We would recommend them. We offered to pay them but they didn't charge us anything.
Description of Work: We contacted Meetze Plumbing because we had been having cloudy water and we wanted somebody to come to see if they could take off a sand tank because we thought the rust was coming through the sand tank. We wanted someone that could do a water purification system in case it was not the sand tank. They came and it was the sand tank but they were not prepared to take the sand tank off and they were more interested in putting in the water purification system.

They contacted me very quickly, and also sent someone very quickly. He did the service in about 5 minutes, and waited patiently while I hooked up my computer and printed a coupon from Angie's List. This was a small repair and I had already purchased and begun to install the parts, but I think it is fair that they charged their normal amount for a service visit. The price was reduced from ~$84 to $64 with the Angies List coupon.
Description of Work: I bought a toilet repair kit at Home Depot, but could not get it installed properly because of the awkward angle and tight space. I called Meetz by email for help.

Very fine job. Thoroughly enjoyable experience as I like associating with professionals and learning a bit about their trade. Highest quality parts used and installed using the proper tools and adhesives and fittings. I scheduled this job with Meetze based on trusting Lee even though the final negotated price, product and terms were not updated on the proposal. I received exactly what we agreed on and in a timeframe which was very convenient for me, but not convenient for Meetze or Dale. Needless to say, I was generous with Dale and also called Calvin Meetze to praise Dale and Lee for their professionalism. The price I paid was high for a water heater, but excellent value for the particular heater which was installed and for the quality of the installation. Best of all my costs per year are predicted by the energy label on the heater to drop from $900 per year to less than $200 per year. And the heater is 98% efficient and the gas byproducts of combustion are so cool and clean that the vent pipe can be schedule 40 (cheaper than cpvc). Since the installation, my family, kids and grandkids have had all the hot water they wanted and service was better than with the 2 electric water heaters as the hot water temperature never decreases. I will likely be refering friends and clients to purchase this same heater from Meetze. I recomment Angie consider this installation for a top service listing.
Description of Work: I had 2 electric 50 gallon water heaters plumbed in series whiich supplied enough water for 3.5 baths, dish washer and washing machine. I did some research and intended to purchase either electric replacements or a conventional gas water heater and have it installed professionally due to Richland County Building Codes. I received 3 quotes and found the one from Meetze to be the most well thought out. Lee, the technical salesman, proposed a tankless water heater from Grand Hall which is a new comer in the tankless field that had made their initial money building high end grills. This product has a 2 gallon tank which eliminates the cold water sandwich effect and a 20 year warranty on the heat exchanger (best in the industry). Per my reading, the Eternal has superior parts to its competition (backed up by the installer) and is the upper end of residential tankles heater solutions. The proposal was important to me as it enabled me to switch gears from my original plans ant to figure that I would have a 4-6 year or less pay back on the piced difference due to savings over what the average cost of $900 per year for my current configuration. The eternal price on line is about $2200 for the model I purchased. The parts required for installation ran about another $500 if I were to purchase them and the rest was labor. I had negotiated for an upgrade to the next largest model and a gas line to my grill and another to a future gas range and shut off valves. Had I paid someone seperately to do this the cost would have been another $400 to $500 minimum. I discussed the proposal with several knowledgable friends, with Grand hall and did a lot of web reading and confirmed in my own mind that the Meetze proposal from Lee offered the best value. I selected Meetze on the Friday a week before Christmas at 4:00 PM via leaving a message for the technical Salesman via the secretary. On M-nday, when I called to talk with Lee, they already had scheduled me for a Tuesday installation which enabled me to get sufficient hot water for my four daughters and their families who arrived on Thursday. They arrived about 3:30PM as promised and the installer, Dale, is a master plumber and a master gas technician. I do a lot of handyman work and consider myself an expert at evaluating craftsman when working their trade. Dale was A+. All his joints, gas fittings, leveling the base for the water heater, electrical connections were excellent. He had economy of movement which showed his years of experience. The temperature hovered around freezing and the temperature inside the crawl space where most of the work was done was about 55. I was with Dale most of the time and found him to be as personable as professional. He worked till 1AM and took no breaks as far as I knew, but his pace of work was steady and never slakened. He refused my several offers for food & drink and provided his own energy drink. He picked up all the by products of the installation and hauled them away, leaving me with plenty of hot water and an asset to my home's value, Dale had his own heavy duty expensive tools which greatly facilited the speed and quality of the job. He has a $2K mechanical copper pipe joinet which enables mechanical joints rated for 50 years without the use of a torch. He had a 2 inch masonry drill which cut a hole saw type hole in the hard coat stucco with almost no chipping (in contrast to other installers who did not treat my stucco so kindly). Etc,, for other fine tools.
