Knowing all the repairs that needed to be done they show up at 3;00 and call me at 5 asking if I am going to pay overtime. instead of overtime they charge transportation time both days. After spending 3 hours getting the hot water heater to light (nearly $150./hr as there were 2 of them), knowing it kept going out, the technician refused to leave the water heater on due to a new code regarding vent tubing. if I'd have known I was going to spend that much on him lighting the heater just to leave it off, I wouldn't have had him fix it. There were 2 guys there the whole time and 1 stood around most of the time and still was charged for 2.
Description of Work: hot water heater wouldn't light, fix broken drain lines, water leak at the toilet, vent tubing broken

The people that answer the phone are really nice. I rate them a B because it seems like the people that came out were a little inexperienced. They needed to call somebody else to help.
Description of Work: I have used Lamar Plumbing. The last time I used them we had an underground plumbing leak in our backyard so they fixed it.

!!Plumbers were excellent, worked h****** an all day job but did excellent work. Didn't install the actual model I wanted but didn't notice the cheaper model until it was too late. Talked with Butch about a RTGH-95DVLN but installed RTGH-84DVLN $500 cheaper unit. So be sure you check all the numbers on your bid lest you receive less than you asked for. My fault!! The install was delayed by 1 week because they didn't get the unit in, I was told the day before they were supposed to install. If I had to do it over I would probable buy the unit from Amazon and pay for installation separately. The 84DVLN was $1044.99 on Amazon and the 95 was $1687.65 so I think I over paid for installation

Description of Work: Two people came out to investigate a large leak under a bathtub and repair two commodes. They did minor work on both commodes and looked at the bathtub and left stated that they would get back to me on what was needed. That was 5 or 6 weeks ago and I have heard nothing.

gas leak repair, plumbing
 + 0 more
I am remodeling my kitchen. After removing the existing cabinets, I noticed a slow leak behind the wall where the sink supply line is. I also noticed the new cabinet next to the range would not fit over the existing gas line. Since I did not know the schedule of the cabinet installers, I chose to pay overtime and call a plumber out on the weekend to ensure the area was ready for the next phase. Lamar was very responsive and showed up within a few hours. Joey repaired the hot and cold water lines that feed the kitchen sink, but they leaked again and he had to start over which took him into his second hour at overtime rates. The gas line had to be moved six inches to the right because it would be in the way of the new cabinet width. Joey moved it and the distance would now allow the cabinet to fit. During the next week while I was installing the new flooring, I notice the gas feed was longer than it was before he moved it. It now protruded over seven inches from the wall. Measuring the cavity behind the range, I found that it allowed only four inches. I called Lamar to come out and redo the fitting and they said they'd charge me again because I approved their work. I did approve the new distance, but had no idea he added a three inch nipple in the process. I called the office and they also said since I didn't supply drawings, and they did what I asked, they stood firm in charging me for the re-fit. Never did they ask me for drawings or ask the depth requirement for the range. I sent them on their way. Totally dissatisfied, and won't call them again.

Description of Work: Thought I had a leak in the tub drain & they determined it was only the shower tile grout. The shower valves were leaking however and I had them replace them. The diverter valve didn't work properly the day after installation and I had to call them back. They responded rapidly and took care of the problem with no further charges. I was quite pleased overall.

Description of Work: The response was good and the work performed (unplugging main drain line) was as expected. It was the business practice that I had a problem with. This is the first plumber I have ever heard to say that a drain line could not be cleaned through the "Clean-Out". The same Clean-Out a previous plumber had insisted was needed when a new drain line was installed. The Lamar Plumber insisted he could not guarantee the work or would not be responsible for damage caused to the line bla bla bla. His insistence was that the work should be done from the roof (going in the same direction the line drains). I questioned his idea asking "Then is the Clean-Out for", but not being a plumber had no grounds for further objections. The reason for his method of operation became apparent when it was time to pay. On the phone I got quoted $100 for the clean out ["Standard 0ne hour labor" the lady said]. His charge was $123.25. When I said "I was quoted $100"; his response was "Well that was the charge if I had done it through the Clean-Out, but since I did it through the roof the price is higher. His explanation was that he had to use a ladder and different equipment. A ridiculous excuse; the only "different equipment" was the ladder. I could not argue any further NOW, since the job was already done. I should have reported his business tactics to the BBB of Corpus Christi, TX. Knowing what to expect, I guess I would use Lamar Plumbing again, but only in extreme emergencies.

It went ok. My faucets are old and they couldn't find the parts to fix it, so right now, my water runs again, it's not leaking anymore, so I'm happy. However, I can only fill the tub with the shower head because the water doesn't come out through the bottom spout.

I called in my service request to replace the hose bibs on the exterior of the house at approximately 9:30am. The plumbers arrived in less than one hour, since they were in the neighborhood already. They were efficient, professional, and did an excellent job. Because we were re-doing a bathroom ourselves, they said to call if we needed any assistance. We did have difficulty with installing the toilet because the flange broke, and we were unable to replace it. I made another service call. It took a few hours for them to get to us again, but the same plumbers came back and replaced the broken flange and installed the toilet. They did an excellent job again. Lamar Plumbing will definitely be the company I call in the future.

It was over a week after I called it to their attention. I was talking to the person that answers the phone and she said, I'll check for you when I first talked to her. She came back to the phone she said I already talked to the owner and he said we can not give you a price reduction. I said, I'm not talking about the price right now, I'm talking about the estimate because the feet of pipe is wrong. So, anyway, I don't know why, even when I talked to the owner, he was stuck on I wanted to be special or something, that I wanted a price reduction. I thought the price reduction would come with the correction of feet. He put down 60 feet when it was 20.
Description of Work: I was looking under plumbers and I noticed that Lamar Plumbing was rated very well. Well, Lamar Plumbing, I wanted an estimate on the work. The owner came but he didn't write anything down. When I received the estimate it was the wrong estimate. He had quadrupled the number of feet of pipe that needed to be replaced. Of course the price was out of line, so I called them, and I even talked to him and he said, well, the price isn't going to change. We can't lower the price for you. The person that answered the phone and him were stuck on the fact that I needed a price reduction. What I wanted him to do was to correct the estimate. He said okay, we will send somebody out there. By the time they got here, which was over a week later, I had hired someone else.

The young guys came out and did great work. They have also been out a couple of other times. They are very good. They are close to where I work. I recommend them highly. They don't gouge you on weekends or after hours. Their price was good. I priced people on the sewer line and they were much higher.
Description of Work: I used Lamar Plumbing to replace a clean out line. It was an 80 foot run that was 10 feet deep that they ran to replace an old cast iron line. They also put in a water heater in 2011. They have also done plumbing work.

They showed up 10 minutes after I called them because they realized it was a serious situation. They worked hard and fast and did a good job putting everything back the way it was. The cherry on top was the military discount they gave us once they found out my husband had served in the Airforce. I cannot recommend this company enough!
Description of Work: They came out, a company I had never before used, because my company I used for 20+ years wouldn't come out to fix my gas leak for 4 days. They dug a necessary hole and replaced all the PVC piping needed to repair the crack caused by the ground shifting over time. They did all of this in 98 degree heat AND worked through lunch.

We ended up overpaying for unsatisfactory service.
Description of Work: Was asked to run plumbing on bath remodel. Their job was to convert from a 1950 era tub to accomodate a shower tower. The serviceman would not do the plumbing as requested but insisted on inserting an expensive mixing valve that he had in stock at his shop.There were less expensive mixing valves at the local Lowe's that we could have picked up. This was not acceptable to the serviceman - so we paid for an over priced mixing valve, trip time, and ultimately could not use the shower tower we had purchased and ended with your standard cheap shower head. These guys are inflexible and have no concept of customer satisfaction! Use someone else.

The plumber, Danny, was very professional, knew exactly what to do and even provided advice for the prevention of future clogs. The price was fair and I am extremely happy I chose to go with Lamar Plumbing after researching about 8 local companies. As a matter of fact, I joined Angie's List to share my great experience!
Description of Work: I had a last minute BBQ when the garbage disposal clogged and I needed it fixed asap. I called Lamar Plumbing at 2:15PM and had a plumber in my house by 3:15PM. The plumber asked me questions to specify the exact problem and proceeded to use the commercial "snake" to unclog our garbage disposal. He detailed what he was doing in order to fix our drain and didn't leave until we were satisfied with his work. He also offered great advice and information on what/how our drains and pipes should look and run.
