Bill Blankenship Contracting

Great…they found the problem & fixed it so it would never be a problem again.

Great! During The Great Freeze of 2021, Bill had done some emergency leak repair for a neighbor just a day or so before. Even though it was still chaos and crisis everywhere due to the extreme cold temperature event, Bill himself came out the day after we talked. He promptly found our leak which was in an outside water line used to service my dock (Lake Worth froze over folks - for those who do not know). He also promptly found a cutoff valve and stopped the flow. After the emergencies everywhere had subsided somewhat, Good Man Justin called me and arranged to come out. I showed him the broken pipe and he patiently listened to me as I told him that I wanted him to add a stub-out to be used for a different purpose. I could not stay to see that it was done right. This has been a major problem in the past with other contractors. Happily, when I inspected the work later, Justin had made the repair and installed the stub-out exactly as I had described. When I first showed Justin the job, I told him I could not stay around to pay but would call in the following Monday with a credit card and pay. Monday I was having a battle royal with my credit card company so payment on Monday did not happen. The next day or Wednesday I typically put things off until it was late. I called the office to say I was driving a check out to them. Karen said she was trying to leave but would wait. Well, the traffic and my happy, kind but inept fellow drivers delayed me beyond description. But, Karen was there when I finally staggered in after defeating the forces of delay arrayed against me. She took the check and gave me a receipt and then we had a bit of a chat which was a lot of fun. It is impossible for me to square my excellent experience with the complaints I see. An insurance broker friend of mine, after I told him of some difficulties I was having with a client, said "SPCBHWN". I said what?!? He said "Some People Can't Be Helped. Who's Next?" Some times you do what you can do and the customer just cannot be helped no matter what. Then, you just have to move on the next person you can help and try as hard as you did for the last guy. Bill and his folks probably did fine by those folks. They just could not be helped. I am glad I was one of the "next". I'm Frank and I stand by this message.

Great service! Excellent work! Very professional! Fantastic office and field staff. I will always use them as my go-to plumbing and all around service since they do more than just plumbing. I really appreciate their services during the recent snow storm. THANK YOU Karen, Justin and Chase! Bill, you have a great team! Much appreciation!

Great! Bill was timely and communicative. His team was friendly and they really helped us out in a pinch. Super trustworthy and knowledgeable!

Things went fine. Bill explained up-front that mine was a "side job" due to a larger project he currently had. I understood that. While there was additional damage/scope, after tear out, Bill was diligent in having his crew at my Home at 8:00 Am the next day.

Our business has used Bill Blankenship Contracting as our plumbing contractor for quite a few years now, they've handled minor and major jobs for us professionally and satisfactorily! We would recommend.

We recently had a backup problem. Because of their great customer service, Blankenship Plumbing was at our home in 30 minutes. It wasn't a simple back up problem, as the plumbers found out after numerous attempts to unclog our system. It was a poor, original design when the house was built. Bill and his two employees kept us updated and informed, and Bill quickly diagnosed a remedy for our problem. After 3 days of intensive and quality workmanship, we were inspected by the city, and the problem was fixed with minimum in-house water shut off. This team was exceptional and professional! Outstanding workmanship and impeccable clean up, with a scheduled return in the spring to make sure the lawn is leveled and grass is growing. After all this, his price was very reasonable. Blankenship Plumbing is highly recommended for their competence, professionalism, friendliness, keeping us updated on their progress as they worked, and their affordable pricing. Thank you Bill and your team!

Absolutely horrible craftsmanship. Bill charges a premium prices and delivers low end work. I hired him to do an extensive remodel of my master bedroom and I regret it every time I look at it. Horrible paint job, bad carpentry, and sloppy tile work. His crew has no business doing finish work of any kind. When you point out the obvious workmanship issues he becomes belligerent and makes little effort to correct problems. You will be doing your own quality control as he makes little effort to do so on your behalf. I ended up having paying him out and finishing the job myself because he cannot or will not engage qualified tradesmen.

Bill and his team did a great job. They showed up when promised, worked longer through the day than expected due to delays of the city inspector. They removed the old shower, fixed hidden issues by the original builder, and created a beautiful piece that will last for years. Bill kept us very informed on the progress and any complications throughout the build. While the price might seem high to some, it's worth paying if you want someone to be a Master Plumber, that brought our shower back to code, when the original builders cut corners. He took care of everything from start to finish. I consider it money very well spent to improve my home, without breaking the bank.

People beware on the prices and attitude. I could only wonder what it would be like if I had problems with his work and tried to resolve. I found another plumber on angies list ACE Plumbing. Great price and fast quality service.

They came out promptly, took the worker two hours to find and dig out the sewer but he said this would only allow him to remove a blockage between the house and the street. The owner asked him to try and unblock it through the outlet from the washing machine. he badly scratched the top of the washing machine while using the auger and splashed black debris on the walls I had painted just two days before . Then the owner came out, walked in without letting me know he was here. He told the worker that there was a pipe outlet he could use outside the house and so they began trying to dislodge the blockage from there. At no time did the owner discuss cost or what actions he was taking. He instructed the worker to remove the back toilet and replace the flange as he said there was a leak even though there was no evidence of one. (He said he could see it leaking under the house) The front toilet which had leaked when the sewer overflowed and he replaced that too ($450). He then picked up a camera (charged me $250 which I've never had to pay with other plumbers) and found that the blockage was caused by a crack in the sewer line. The following day he dug out the line (under the house) and replaced it and got the necessary permit and inspection ($1,300). There are small cuts around the vinyl at the toilet base which I asked if he could seal to prevent water seeping in when I wash the floor. Instead they caulked around the base. In summary I feel that if he had used the camera to begin with he could have seen that it was a cracked pipe, $450 is a ridiculous amount to remove a toilet and repair a flange. A camera should be part of the tools used to find the problem not something additional for the home owner to pay. There was a lot of wasted time (it took 6 hours to find the problem). I looked at a previous bill from another plumber 18 months ago for clearing a sewer blockage and it was under $300 and took less than two hours. These plumbers arrived at 9:00 a.m. and left after 5:00 and charged me approximately $1,500 to clear the pipes. Then an additional day and another $1,300 to actually repair the problem.

This type repair is a gigantic challenge. However Mr Blankenship and his crew of gentlemen showed up daily on time, when promised, and completed the job working every day just as hard as the first. They were very respectful of my property, cleaning up after themselves all along the way. I very highly recommend them as the best choice of anyone needing their services.

He probably would have been alright but did not go with him because I wanted to keep marble and he want to rip all the marble out. We said we wanted that to look this way and if a contractor would do or find a way to do that even if it will cost more money but he is not willing to do that. It is like he came in with the frequency, notion or what should it look like. .

The project went totally awesome. Upon giving an estimate, Bill Blankenship projected 4 to 5 days approximately to complete the project. He explained all the details of the work he would have to do, and outlined any difficulties beforehand that he thought may arise in the process. He was very clear about how he thought the best approach to complete the project would be. We discussed all the possible options available, and the pros, and cons of each. Once I decided on how we wanted to go, he took a few minutes, and then gave us a right-on estimate. I had 3 other estimates for this project done from other local plumbing companies, and Bill Blankenship was the most thorough, offered the best price for the product promised, and by far was in my opinion the most knowledgable in what we wanted to accomplish, and how best to make that happen. We had a bathroom remodel job done in our home 2 years ago as well. As now, I did 4 estimates for that large project also, and in the end decided to hire Bill Blankenship for the work. I did not regret that decision, nor this one to hire his company to perform the work. Mr. Blankenship is very diligent, and is very knowledgable in his field, and strives to give the best finished product when he is done. When confronted by the inevitable bumps in the road to completion, he was still able to successfully complete the work in 6 days. One of the nice things about Bill was that he always strives to make sure his client is happy, and satisfied with the entire process of the project as it progresses through each stage of the work. If we had any questions, or possible changes to the project, which we did, he was willing to listen, and advise on their merit, and/or implementation. In our instance, a couple of changes we decided on mid-project he included without any adjustment to the estimated cost. The end product was exceptional. I had been worried that having to cut a large access panel out of the interior wall of the entranceway hallway to our home would leave an obvious tale-tell sign of construction work, but when it was all done I could not tell there had ever been anything done to the wall at all. Man, was I happy with that. So, all said and done, an excellent job overall. Just an exceptional job, just as the bathroom remodel job was done in 2011. Something Bill said to me after he was done this time stuck with me, and will be the reason he will be the plumber of choice for us. He said that when he is done at the end of the day he wants us to be happy with what we have, and the work he has done, and most important, he wants the project to look like it had always been there, not something added. I was also happy that his estimate included any, and all work that had to be done, from sheetrock work to painting, to tile work, whatever is needed to complete the project is included in the estimate, and he arranges all of the work under his supervision. Thank you Bill Blankenship for a great job.

I have a home 30+ years old. Three of the toilets required removal and overhaul, including floor flanges and pvc fittings. Mr. Blakenshtp, a master plummer, supervised and did much the work himself. All three jobs were a grade A. I highly endorse Bill Blakenship Contracting.

I think that if they sent someone who was certified they may have found out there was not a problem sooner and cost me less. When he came back he didn't acknowledge himself and just walked in my house. I probably wouldn't recommend him. He did change a thermostat in my heater. I was told by another plumber that it was a decent price. The good thing was that I didn't end up having a leak, it was just my toilet. I did change out my toilet and the problem went away. I think he could have been a little more pleasant. The guy who did come over to look for the leak had me turn off the air conditioner for 6-8 hours which did make it hot, but I cannot blame him for that. They guy who came to look for the leak was a good guy and pleasant.

It went very well. The workers were always on time and very courteous. Mr. Blankenship oversaw all aspects. All the work is very good quality. The bathrooms are beautiful and we're pleased with the results.

If you're asking for a grade, I would give them an A-. They did everything well. They sent out a master pipe fitter. They were very good. The only problem we had was we had to make three trips to the hardstore to get the supplies that they needed. I didn't have a problem with that but it did require my full days attention. In quality and craftsmanship I would give them an A.

They overcharged me and didn't fix any of the problems. They charged me $75 to come out and couldn't figure out what the problem was. They just showed up on time, but they did a terrible job. When I questioned them as to why they couldn't fix anything they didn't have an explanation for it. It wasn't very professional. I called another plumber and in about five minutes he figured out the problem and charged me about $45. I would not use Bill Blankenship Contracting again. I would also not recommend them to anybody. I think they were lacking the knowledge needed for this job. Maybe they know construction, but I don't think they know plumbing.

I was impressed with his willingness and time taken to provide the estimate before leaving. He even left behind tile samples for us to use in our selection process. Very courteous and professional.We decided on a different contractor based upon a lower bid; however, Bill was ver knowledgeable and I would be willing to select him and his company in the future.

Bill was professional and on time. He stayed with the quote that he gave even when issues arose that caused his cost to go up. Final result was excellent.

Bill was very responsive to our needs and time. He brought different tile samples for the shower and listened to us about what we might like and how he would do it. He had a wonderful crew and great subcontractors. They were all professional, courteous, and cleaned the spaces (bathroom and garage) after they used them. He kept us informed of the process and made all the arrangements for city permits. We love our new shower and the quality of work Bill Blankenship and his crew did for us!

Great customer service and excellent plumbing skills! Super pleased with the work and the value
