This company provided outstanding service at a very reasonable price in a very short amount of time. I have finally found a plumber with whom I can have a lifelong relationship. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.
Description of Work: This morning I called Cottrell and Co to see when they could come and replace a leaky and defective disposal and install a new sink faucet and sprayer. The scheduler said they could work me in between 3 and 5 today so I was pretty happy about that. I was even more impressed when Jimmy, one of their master plumbers, came just after 1 and had the job finished within an hour.

I was cleaning out the guest bedroom closet and smelled mildew....look at baseboards and found mold...went under house and found water spewing our a PVC joint...I was able to temporarily stop the leak...came in and went to my laptop to find a plumber...Angie's List! I was very concerned by the amount of water I found on the sub flooring...not as bad as I thought. Only need to allow it to dry and treat with a mold preventative solution...Very Happy with the results. Thanks Angie'S List and the Cottrell Co.
Description of Work: Repaired leaking CPVC in crawl space....on time and courteous. Provided advise on repair of other issues....Thanks Jason.

House sewer was backed up. Called Cottrell's after 9pm. Had a discussion with Jason, and it was determined that the problem was probably outside of the house. Jason suggested I call the City Sewer Department first, to see if it was a City sewer issue. It turned out to be my issue so I called Jason back after 10pm. He was ready to come out but I suggested we wait until the next day. Jason called and arrived the next day on time. He identified the problem, was able to locate, dig and unblock the line. Problem fixed within 20-25 minutes.
Description of Work: Outside sewer line was backed up. Had to locate and dig to find back flow valve which was blocked. Unblocked the valve and line was cleared. Took around 20 minutes to complete. Great job!

The toilet would not stop running and then the tub faucet decided it didn't want to stop either! My water bill was off the chart. So I turned off the water to the toilet and removed the faucet handle from the tub and used a screw driver to turn the water to the tub off completely. This meant I had to share a bathroom with the men in my family. So I made a desperate call to Cottrell & Co. after finding them on Angie's List and seeing their great A rating and positive comments. The young woman who took my call to set up the appointment was very friendly and helpful when I explained my situation. Jimmy Yonce came to the house on time and was very professional and friendly; he even took his shoes off before entering the house, even though I told him it wasn't necessary. He quickly recognized the issues and quoted me a very fair and reasonable price (much less than I had anticipated!) and this is the price I paid when the work was done. Jimmy rebuilt the toilet tank and replaced rusted bolts (rusted from using bleach tablets), and he fixed the shower valve and even got me a new faucet handle because I had cracked the original one. He did it all in about two hours and was very nice the whole time. I feel lucky that I was able to find such a trustworthy, competent, plumber who didn't try to rip me off. Thanks Jimmy and thanks Cottrell & Co., Inc. I will definitely call on you again if I ever need plumbing work in the future and I will highly recommended you to anyone in need of a plumber!
Description of Work: Fixed both a leaky toilet and shower; the toilet ran continuously and the tub faucet had an ongoing small stream of water (much more than an on-going drip!)

I called Cottrell & Co. and told the receptionist what i needed done and asked for a quote. We then set up an appointment for the next day. They called and asked if they could come earlier than the scheduled appt. and were in and out of my house within 1 hour. They had a difficult time getting the old faucet out due to it being incorrectly installed when the house was first built. They did a great job, cleaned up after themselves, and were very pleasant and professional.
Description of Work: Removed our old kitchen Delta faucet and replaced with another new Delta faucet we had previously bought.

I had discovered a small leak at a connection to our water heater a few weeks ago and after searching on Angie's List, I decided on Cottrell and Company. I contacted them on a Wednesday and they were able to schedule the appointment for Friday. Jimmy Yonce and another employee were able to come earlier than scheduled which suit me just fine. I showed Jimmy the leaking water heater and connection. He was able to clearly explain the problem (why's, what's, etc.) and said he can easily fix it right then. The price was reasonable so he got started right away. Thirty minutes later he was finished, cleaned up, and writing up his paperwork. Thanks to Angie's List, I was able to have the service call fee waived (~$50). I will definitely call Cottrell and Co. again for any plumbing and water heater work.

I called Cottrell and Company, a plumbing service I have used previously on various occasions for a bid. The first task was to cap the waterlines and remove the ice maker line. As my friend and I completed various parts of the job, I would call the owner, Jason and say I was ready for the appliances to be re-installed and we would select a day and his employees would appear to do the work. They did a great job, got everything working just fine and worked with the electrician to get everything that needed power hooked up correctly. I am very pleased with the work and I love having a gas cook top again!
Description of Work: Shutting of water to kitchen, capping pipes, removing ice maker line. Next installing a utility sink, replacing some old cast iron drain pipe and changing the location of the dryer vent. Finally re-installing the kitchen plumbing, ice maker line, hooking up the disposal and dishwasher, and running a new gas line for a new gas cook top. This work was spreadout over 3 months as I remodeled my kitchen.

After purchasing an appropriate replacement unit I consulted Angie's List and based on recommendations, I contacted this plumbing company and made an appointment for repairs. Plumber arrived on time and was professional, efficient and helpful. He first removed the broken faucet and replaced it with the new unit. He then corrected the bathroom leak. He also gave me several helpful hints to avoid some future problems. I plan to use this firm again when we begin a kitchen remodel.
Description of Work: Faucet on kitchen sink needed replacement. In addition a badly leaking bathroom sink faucet needed repair.

Cottrell and Co replaced our original 100 yr old plus main water pipe that led to our house. The service technician was very professional and kind and even though the company was extremely busy that week they worked us in due to flooding in our basement, having to turn the water supply off, etc. When I had to call after hours one evening, the owner of the company personally called me back after stepping out of a PTO meeting he was attending. We would definitely hire them again.

We had a leak from an upstairs bathroom shower that had dripped down onto the ceiling downstairs. I emailed them on Tuesday morning @ 4 am (I work night shift) and asked if they could help repair this. I received an email back by 8:30 am the same day with an answer and phone number to call and set up and appointment. I set it up and Josh Lovett was my plumber. He came out right on time, took his boots off at the front door and got right down to business investigating the leak and what it would take to fix. It ended up being a leaking shower drain. Josh gave me a price to fix, went to Lowe's to get the part and came right back. He fixed us right up!! No more leak!!! From the initial contact to the end of the visit was maybe an hour and a half. Josh was so nice and honest!! He looked at a few more issues for me also! This was a great experience for us! Thank you Josh and Cottrell & Co.!!!!

Our electric hotwater heater went out after 10 years. I called this morning and I got a call back in less than 5 minutes. After a brief description of what services I needed, I was given a time period and told the repairman would call me when he was on the way and he did. He explained what I needed to know and after I made my decision, Jason the owner did the work quickly and the cost was less than he estimated. Everyone involved was professional and friendly. He has a staff, but he works with them, too, and sets a great example for them and his three kids. Also, he explained that his wife is also involved in the office. I found out she was the one who helped me on the phone and she was very friendly and helpful. She asked me when I called how I found them and when I said Angie's list she told me about the members discount which I had already seen. Sure enough, they waived the $49.50 service fee (as advertised by Angie's list). Furthermore, after the job was finished, Jason informed me that since my unit was in such bad shape, when it "expires" this total expense will be used towards the purchase of the new unit. I found a real jewel of a service provider in Cottrell & Co. thanks to using Angie's list and you'd better believe I will call them to handle the next need, too.

The plumbers came on time 7/17/2012. They took the old facet apart and after they determined the item number of it, Mr. Jason Cottrrell called the maker of the facet , Moen. After describing the problem to the Moen representative, he got the Moen rep to send us a complete new facet free of charge. Then the plumbers re-installed the old facet so we would have water in the kitchen until the new one arrived. The new facet arrived at the house late on 7/20/2012, so we called Jason's office and scheduled an appointment for 7/23/2012. The plumbers arrived and installed the new facet. This installation necessitated installing two new couplings to fit the new facet. After checking the new installation out to our satisfaction, they cleaned up and left.
Description of Work: We had the plumbers take out the kitchen facet and replace it with a new one.

We had a leaking valve where we replaced a dishwasher. The leak got progressively worse until we had to have an emergency water shutoff by the city. We called Cottrell and set an appointment for the next day. About an hour into the two-hour appointment window, Jason Cottrell called that he was running late and asked what would work best for us -- to come late, or reschedule for first thing the next (Saturday) morning. He arrived right on time Saturday, evaluated the situation, and replaced the valve. He took the time to take care of the garbage disposal as well, even though we hadn't mentioned that when setting the appointment. He explained exactly what he'd done and why, with the advantages. The fee was extremely reasonable, and Jason was courteous, respectful, and friendly. I've never had a better experience with a plumber.
Description of Work: Replaced a leaky supply line valve with a more modern valve and cleared a blocked garbage disposal.

Description of Work: We had a problem with a toilet not flushing properly, thought it was plugged. Jason came by the day we called, on his way home & checked to see if it had a blockage. He didn't charge for the advice, recommended a toilet to buy at Lowes, and came back next Day to install. Fast, quick response, only charges for work he actually does, not a fixed job rate. We plan to use Jason to replace our other toilets. He did great job fast great price, We trust him.

Each of my interactions have been professional, timely and fairly priced. I have recommended Jason to everyone I know, and will continue to do so. As someone previously said, I would give him an A+ if it was an option.
Description of Work: Jason has performed several services, all exceeded my expectations. He replaced a garbage disposal and hot water heater and directed me to the City of Columbia to fix an overflowing pipe in my yard, thereby saving me at least $150.00, and in turn not earning the money himself. And this was between Christmas and New Year's, when spending more money would have been burdensome. Previously, when the same pipe overflowed, a "friend," and plumber came out and snaked it, charged me $275.00 and never told me that it was the City of Columbia's responsibility to fix it, at no cost to me.

They worked quickly and efficiently and Jason mentioned that he was supervising an apprentice on the project and he was one of the few that had a formal apprenticing program along the path to being a master plumber. I had no issues with the service, punctuality, professionalism and even quality of the work. Where I had a dissatisfied experience was in the final bill - $900. Granted I had performed one of the classic mistakes in not itemizing it via a written estimate on the fly, but never in my wildest dreams thought it would approach nearly $1000. Throw in the fact that there was no reduced rate for a journeyman/apprentice learning on my home and the overall experience makes me continue to not want to use them again. This is a shame to me since I appreciated the quality of the work but not for the burdensome cost.
Description of Work: Not long after moving into a new home, we purchased 2 Kohler toilets and wanted to have them installed. Cottrell & Co were recommended by a neighbor so I decided to give them a try. The scope of work initially was just installation of the 2 toilets. However, once the old toilets were removed, the plumber told us that the PVC drain flanges were below the tiled floor and explained this wasn't a big deal and was usually symptomatic of when the home was built: The subcontractor for the ceramic tile was probably finishing first, then the plumber came in later to plumb in the drains. Cottrell & Co. explained it was a fairly simple fix to raise the flanges on both toilets so I agreed to proceed. Thus the total scope of work contracted became raising 2 drain flanges and installing 2 new Kohler toilets on those raised flanges.

The man that came out was a very outgoing, professional, young man. They were running ahead of time and called to let me know they would be early. He looked at the toilet and found that the problem had fixed itself. He wouldn't charge me for the service call. I would certainly use them in the future. If I could give an A+, they would get it.
