Showed up late, charged us for doing nothing and would not tell us they did not do what we needed done until they showed up and charged us knowing they wouldn't do the job. Very very irritated and feel like they took advantage of us... I feel that they took advantage of my wife... They new they could not do the job when we spoke to them on the phonen but insisted they come out anyway to collect a fee... Would not recommend. Deeply saddened that companies like this can take advantage of people. Jason Lewis Sparta, TN

I get the scam... Show up collect service fee and price job too high so they do nothing... and get paid. Very angry and upset.

Garry and his team have always been professional. They are polite and explain options to you, so you can make the best decision on services. Garry and his team responded quickly to my two emergency calls and they kept in touch with me on arrival times and process of the repairs. I highly recommend Putnam Plumbing for any of your plumbing needs!
Description of Work: Putnam Plumbing has replaced my water heater, repaired two broken water lines, relocated two excursions at my home and I have used them many times when I worked for a local construction company. I have also called on Putnam Plumbing to help my mother-in-law in her times of plumbing needs.

Gary is always top notch in his work. At the moment the job isn't complete (waiting on parts) but the work that is done is excellent. I've done business with him several times and he is always on time, knows what he is doing and makes sure I understand what he is doing.

work done quickly and professionally. It fixed the problem. Before he left, Gary asked if there was anything else he could take care of while he was at my house. There wasn't, but we discussed several possible plumbing improvements for my home in the future. Since I moved to this area 6 years ago, I have used Gary for numerous plumbing jobs, both due to immediate need or just preventive maintenance. All jobs have been done professionally without the need of any callbacks. He always tells you up front exactly what the cost will be, and of any potential problems he may encounter during the job. When I also needed an electrician after moving to the area, he recommended a person who also provided the same quick and excellent service for me, as he did.

I called them and they were very friendly on the phone. I told them what I need to have done and scheduled my appointment. The Technician's showed up on time. They were uniformed, clean cut and very friendly when they arrived. I showed them what I needed to have done and they knocked it out in a jiffy. I told them about some hot water heater concerns I had while they were there and they were able to give me accurate advice to adjust a thermostat on the unit and it didn't cost me any extra. The price for the work was more than fair and I will definitely use Putnam Plumbing again.

Garry has been our go-to guy since we moved here a couple of years ago- He responds via text immediately and is always here as soon as he can get here. We have used Putnam Plumbing for several things, and his pricing is very fair. The best thing about Garry is his level of integrity. Some plumbing companies see opportunity to charge in every room. Garry is the first one to tell you that something doesn't need to be fixed, a true man of his word. He does great work, and doesn't over charge in what can be a desperate situation. I would highly recommend Garry The Plumber and his awesome team.

Garry had to lay, horizontally, in sewage water and separate the pipe. He had to cut it, resulting in splashing sewage around a bit (on us) and then he had to dig sewage and dirt from under the pipe with hand tools, while laying in sewage, and having sewage splash around. This was a dirty and gross job. But Garry had a great attitude. We were able to laugh our way through it. He used Fernco reduction couplers, some PVC, and some muscle to make the junction the correct way. The Fernco couplers are considered a permanent install and until I can address the 50 year-old plumbing as a whole, this was the best outcome I could have hoped for. Additionally, I would not lay in someone else's sewage for a penny less than $150. I feel that Garry went out of his way to help me out. He could have made more money on a different job, but he chose to stay with it until it was complete. He completed it the right way. He did not over-charge me. A homeowner cannot ask for a better experience from a plumber. Thumbs Up! Recommend.
Description of Work: Garry came out and reconnected a (previously installed long ago, by a different person) PVC-cast iron junction. The junction had separated and was leaking sewage under my home.

Awful experience.
Description of Work: Hired to install plumbing in basement and hook up plumbing for house that I had moved. The finished product looked like several PVC jungle gyms about 5 1/2 feet off the floor. Joints not glued, drains going uphill, and just a general mess. When I complained the owner was rude, told me I had a lousy house (it is brand new) and belittled me. He never came back and never billed me because he knew the work was unacceptable, I had 2 other licensed plumbers look at it and they saw it and said "holy sh__!" Had another plumber come in and redo everything and his cost was half of the original cost given by Putnam Plumbing and he did a wonderful job.

Response from Putnam Plumbing
The work was never completed. The ductwork was installed before the plumbing, which held the drains approximately 24" down to start with. Ductwork should have been square and not round duct which would allow for height. I can safely speculate round duct was used due to being cheaper to install. My crew called and told me the piping was low, but I never got to see with my own eyes. I explained to the homeowner it would be low. Her comment was "I need this done as cheap as possible ". As to whether or not the people who finished project were liscenced plumbers, house was not constructed where any code authority is in place. Anyone with a pickup truck and a hammer can do plumbing there. Hiring people like that should be much cheaper than legitimate businesses who pay insurance and taxes. I received a call three days after I called her to discuss problems with the job. Homeowner fired me,and relieved me of job. I did not attempt to bill because it is not worth suing someone over approximately 500 dollars. As to being rude with her, I used no profanity with her and was hung up on before any resolution was made. It is always difficult to deal with a homeowner trying to general contract a project with no experience. Budgetary issues and scheduling can get the best of a person trying to balance a large project and work full time. Those issues can lead to improper communications with subcontractors. I am sorry this project did not work out mutually for both of us. In the big scheme of things it is better to not get paid on a job than to have a large dispute with someone. I hope the homeowner the best of luck in the future with her home and that she has found a plumbing contractor to meet her needs for the years to come.
