Jason is very professional, knows his trade and cares that the customer is happy. He is one of the few left that still take pride in his work. He will be my plumber forever. I can't say enough good things about him.
Description of Work: My rental house needed to be connected to the city sewer system. It was an urgent matter because the septic tank could not be pumped and the toilets were backing up. Jason met me at the house within 30 minutes of my initial phone call. I showed him where the tap was he said that it was put in the wrong place. He said he would call the city and explain this to them. The city was going to move the tap but then changed their mind. Eventually they moved it because Jason was correct. Jason was the one to deal with the "city" and I just don't know how many plumbers would do that! He is my life saver and hero! The line was connected and the job completed.

Extremely pleased with the work done by Cottrell Plumbing! Would call on them again.
Description of Work: Supply tube under sink sprung a huge leak (at 5:30 a.m.), enough to dampen the kitchen floor considerably. Fortunately, I was able to shut off the water at the main outside source. (There was also another small leak that had to be repaired.) I contacted Cottrell and they scheduled an appointment quickly, called to say they were on their way, arrived promptly, and assessed the problem. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Josh was professional, pleasant, and obviously knew exactly what he was doing. The cost was very reasonable. The person taking calls was also very efficient as well as pleasant.

Jason personally answered the phone when I called on Sunday expecting to leave a message. He was on site within 12 hours of my call. He left his boots at the door, quickly assessed the situation, was very respectful and professional. Removed the old valve, put in a new one, in & out in about an hour. I wanted to do this task myself, and had already invested about $200 in parts. I just took everything back to Lowes and gladly paid the $400 for the service.
Description of Work: Jason replaced the valve to my bath tub. I had taken the back wall off for access and deinstalled the knobs, but couldn't get the old valve out because the seat screws were set too deep for my seat wrench to fit. I had decided to just cut the old valve out altogether and completely replace the unit. When I cut the first copper pipe, it fell down under the house, and that's when I knew I needed to get professional help for this task.

We had a complete back up - sewage came up thru every drain! My husband tried to snake the drains, but it made almost no difference. Since it was Sunday (of course) we saw a big plumbing bill come our way as we couldn't wait til Monday to take care of this.Read the reviews on Angies list and decided to go with the Cottrell Co. Called and was quoted $250 based on the problem I described. The plumber, Josh, was at another clients house, but called and said he will be there as soon as possible. He came one hour later, checked the drain from the outside and used a so called "bladder" to unclog the main drain. He made sure that the clog was completely gone and told us that we had a back water flap on our main drain (something we didn't know about) and things can get stuck on there, causing a blockage (this is something that normally doesn't happen, but it can and in our place it did). Since he did not have to use the drain camera, we only paid $125.00! Unfortunately, the flap was not installed properly and became unhinged, causing another blockage later on that night. We called back Monday and Josh came out right away. He apologized several times, even though it was not his fault and he could not have forseen this. So he unclogged the drain again, checked the traps to make sure nothing was stuck in there and repaired the flap - and all free of charge! Not only was Josh very pleasant and professional, he was on time and he knows what he is doing. And he gave us some tips should this problem happen again.When we told him about the reviews on Angies list (and that his name was mentioned several times) he was very happy and said: That is great, but I am just doing my job. We will call them again should we need to and we will recommend them to our friends and neighbors.

I contacted them after the pilot light and gas stopped working on our gas fireplace. Josh and Tony were able to come out the very next day. They were prompt and professional. They repaired the problem quickly and explained everything, Since I had found them on Angie's List, they discounted the cost of the repair. I would definitely call them again.

We were having occasional problems with water levels rising in our toilets. Josh arrived and was immediately friendly and professional. Once he assessed the problem, he suggested the least expensive alternative first. Flushing the line seems to have worked, so no further action was needed or recommended at this time. Despite it being the holiday week, he offered his services should the problem reoccur. I would highly recommend this group of master plumbers to my friends and family.
Description of Work: We had a main line stoppage between the house and the tap. A water jet bag was used to flush the line and remove the clog.

Had leak in the main waterline to house. Had previously call Meetze Plumbing, their solution was to replace line for $1700 even though I told them where I thought the leak was. Called Cottrell Plumbing from Angielist. Very nice on phone. Set appointment for next afternoon. Received call next morning from Jimmy Younce that he could come earlier. Met him and a couple hours later my problem was solved for $320. Was very satisfied with Jimmy and Cottrell. I will use them again for my home and my business.

I told you in above statement.
Description of Work: My hot water went out and had rust on the bottom and was leaking water. Called Cottrell on Monday AM and was told Josh would call about 3:00. He finished early on another job and called me in AM. Asked me a few questions and since he was downtown he could bring a new hot water heater out with him. He said he would be out to my home in about 30 Minutes. He was great and explained everything as he went along. He had to put in all new pipes and cut down the pipe that goes to the ceiling of garage. He worked really hard and competently. Couldn't ask for better service or better quality products.

We contacted them about a problem with our bathtub fixtures leaking. They came and gave us a very fair estimate and better yet, explained what was needed and why. They provided a right now estimate to repair and what it would cost to fix and the advantages/disadvantages of both options. We didn't hire them right then, not due to them. We will use them to replace our fixtures in the near future! They were very professional at all times. I'd recommend them to anyone highly.

Reviewed several Plumbers on Angies List and settled on Cottrell &Co when they were able to work the service call into busy schedule just prior to Thanksgiving. Plumber arrived on time and we discussed several options for repairing or replacing faucet. Plumber installed a new faucet quickly and efficiently. I would use this company again without any reservations.

The office answered right away when I called to schedule an appointment. Didn't have to leave a message. The plumbers called when they were going to be a bit late (only about 30 minutes). Then they called again when they were on their way. They were very professional, and didn't try to upsell me. The price was great -- I had similar work done by another company earlier this year for almost twice as much.

As a follow up to my review on them in July, my old electric water heater went out. Josh and an assistant came out and installed a new tankless gas water heater. I'm not sure how competitive the price was but I do know these are about 3 times the cost of electric ones. So Jason's company was in the ballpark and since I already knew how good this company is we decided to go with them without shopping around for the cheapest price. Plus, more than one person has said that these tankless gas units pay for themselves within a couple of years. We have had it for a week and are very pleased. Jason personally came out when the job was finished to make sure we were satisfied and gave us an overview of how to operate it and what to expect. This is a top flight team who do great work. I will go to them first for any and all plumbing needs from here on out.

Had a leak through the ceiling and we weren't sure of the cause. Josh and an assistant came out the day before a holiday and were right on time. Diagnosed and fixed the problem with my tub within an hour and offered to come back and offset the cost if the issue persists. Very straight forward, and seem like decent guys. Will use this company again if any other plumbing issues come up.

Jason's crew arrived on time. The notified me that they would be shutting of the water to the house to begin ripping out the pipe and replacing it. They were very professional and explained why they were using the pex pipe. They also stated that I would not need to use pipe insulation as it would be a waste of money. The entire job took just 6 hours. At the end of the job they told me that it would only be a matter of time before I would need to have the line from the city water meter to my house replaced due to its age. They explained what the process would be and how long it would take should I want to schedule it. I was very impressed with their professionalism.
Description of Work: My house was built in 1944 and had a mix of original iron, copper and PVC plumbing. Jason's crew came in and replaced it all with pex pipe. The pipe is rated for use in all environments and is even used in Alaska. It is color coded with blue for cold and red for hot.

My mothers hot water heater went out. The company was booked the day I called; however, they fit me in that day to come by and make sure the water heater wasn't going to bust. The next morning, they came out and installed a new hot water heater in the attic. I'm very impressed with this company and will definately call them again if needed in the future. I felt very comfortable with these folks in my home. They are hard workers and very knowledgeable. From the office, to the guys who came out, everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

Very professional, neat and helpful. We wanted an estimate on the leaky shower, installing a new toilet, and an opinion on our clothes washer hook-up. We decided to have them fix the leak at the quoted price. They went to work on it right away and were able to take care of it in short order. It did not take as much time as they estimated, so they lowered their price accordingly.. On top of that they gave us an Angie's List special discount. I was very pleased with the job. As far as the toilet install estimate, and a recent estimate for a garbage disposal install, I felt they were much too high, so we've held off on those projects.
