Gidders & Sons Plumbing LLC

They did a good job. They were easy to work with, very reliable, he understand the plumbing, and very good customer service.

Our water heater was getting very hot, then not working at all. They came out to assess it and diagnosed it as the thermostat. They replaced it while here and it has been working great ever since. They could have easily sold us a new water heater but did not. We are also in another service industry and have referred them to others. All of our clients have also been please with their plumbing work!

It went okay. But they were really late and it took forever to get it done. We gave a second chance and called for another job and they were really late again but that time we cancelled them and went with someone else. We just couldn't wait.

After I called 2 other plumbers and had no luck, these guys were able to find the problem in the ceiling leak and fix it permanently.

Gidders and Sons Plumbing sent a plumber to my townhouse to search for the leak, which could have been an outside underground pipe or an inside toilet. The water was turned off, and it took a few days to determine the problem was with the toilet. I would gladly recommend Gidders and Sons Plumbing for their professionalism, skill, and perseverancel in diagnosing and repairing my water leak and would use them again for any plumbing needs.

It was AWESOME. Seriously: single best contractor I’ve ever worked with, and that’s over 20+ years and three houses. My project was COMPLETELY custom, difficult, time-consuming, labor intensive, and had me looking over shoulders all the time. They did not need that, trust me- this family, and this work, is top-notch and super responsive. Awesome follow thru and follow up. I’d be happy to discuss any aspect, email me mtodell@msn.com.

excellent - quick response & good work

Professional technicians. They arrived on time and were able to quickly diagnose the water leak areas. I appreciated their ability to solve the issue right away.

Well the best part would be that they did fix everything, the worse part is that they had to do everything twice and they screwed up almost everything, they cause the house to be flooded but they did fix it everything in the end they were pretty happy with the result but it took a long time to get there.

I called Barney and spoke with him about my situation and described the configuration inside and out. He gave me an estimate of $195.00 and I told him right away I accepted. He then surprised me by saying he would be there before the end of the day. Wow! I never expected to have someone respond so quickly. He arrived about an hour later and proceeded to do an outstanding job of replacing my hose bibb. He went the extra mile in attaching it to the brick veneer and insuring the fit on the inside did not put any undue strain on the copper sweated joints. I am satisfied completely and consider myself as having found my "go to" plumber for all future needs.

They came back when they didn't do something exactly complete I mean most of the work they did they did well.

Responded to email request for plumber saying that they lived in the same neighborhood and could come out next day in the afternoon. I called the next morning and told him what we needed. He said he would call me back in half an hour . But he never did. So another plumbing company is coming to our house. Gidders and Sons came highly recommended on kings park west facebook page for service providers.. It confirms my feeling that it is not a reliable source for some service provider commendations.

We have had several plumbing repair jobs completed by Barney and his team. There have been sink and shower faucets and toilets that were leaking or not working. His team figures out the cause of the problem and quickly goes about fixing it. They are professional, trust worthy, and priced fairly. And they always show up when they say they will and when it is an emergency, they show up immediately. I have referred them to clients (I am a real estate agent), and to my friends who have been equally pleased with their work.

Very professional and knowledgeable. Owner and workers do excellent work.

It’s a good and quick home service.

Gidders and Sons Plumbing LLC were quick and did good work. They were also friendly.

Also installed a shutoff valve for the two outdoor faucets in the basement supply line of each. | |Price a little higher than expected, but service was highly responsive and positively great. | |Graded B in quality solely because copper line cut for one shutoff valve in difficult area sprung a leak the day after they installed the valve. They resolved expeditiously. Will gladly use again.

They actually arrived a bit early which was nice. Introduced themselves and then immediately went to work. They reviewed what needed servicing and began repairs. One toilet needed a new wax ring and caulking and the other needed a new ball c*** and stopper. They noticed a lot of corrosion on the trap under the sink and we told them to go ahead and replace it. Work was done quickly. They were done in under an hour. Couldn't have asked for better service, courtesy and cleanliness.

He was great. He did not charge me extra for coming out on a Sunday. The owner, Barney Gitters, came out and did the work.

It went great. Mr. Barney Gidders and his son. came on time and finished quickly. The backyard faucet had been giving me trouble on and off for two years. It is now fixed for good. I mentioned the other problem-an old valve that was hard to operate leading to the front ysrd outlet. He and his son quickly took care of it by installing an online valve. .Otherwise the job could have been complicated and expensive. His solution saved money and got the job done quickly and simply. It is a pleasure dealing with the Gidders.

Just like in the Dateline episode, I felt like there really can't be that many dishonest plumbers out there. I called up two distinguished plumbers before Barney, and I couldn't believe it! I intentionally turned off the gas to my hot water heater and called up two people to come provide a "free" estimate on my 8 year old (but working just fine) hot water heater. The first one said it had to be replaced due to some nasty debris that was being expelled from my tank and the other said it just needed to be replaced due to age, and reassured me that 8 years was a long time use to get from a hot water heater. Barney arrived on time as confirmed the day before and within 30 seconds he asked me if I knew the gas lofficial was shut off. He laughed and slapped one of his magnetic business cards on my hot water heater and said that everything was working fine and that in the future if i did have REAL plumbing issues he would be happy to come out again. I apologized to him, we both had a laugh, and he went on his way. Did not cost me a penny. I did happen to get a new plumber i can trust to use in the future, if i need. Barney thank you for your honesty and integrity, you cant put a price on that.

I was surprised to find out that I had a leak in my water service line. I immediately started calling plumbers that were rated highly on Angie's List and on Consumers' checkbook. I called 21 companies and had 7 come out to give estimates (many plumbers do not perform service line replacements). Gidders and Sons Plumbing was recommended by another highly recommended plumber and then I checked references. The first bid I received was $17,300 (GULP!). Gidders came in at $4,500. The other estimates were between $4,500 and $7,500. I did not pick Gidders because they were the cheapest. I picked them because I liked Barney, trusted him, and because he was very responsive. He came out and gave an estimate the same day as I called. So, from my perspective, someone then had to beat them out of the job. A couple were comparable (at a slightly higher price), but not good enough to take the job from him. In addition, I like the fact that they were recommended by another plumber and that their ratings were good. We had one change to the work schedule because of weather but, other than that, everything went smoothly and efficiently. No problems with permit or final inspection. Finally, Gidders and Sons was very easy to work with. They were flexible with the entire project, including details of when and where to connect the new water service line, avoiding damage to property, and contract terms. It is not often that someone will actually sit down and negotiate the terms of the contract. All of this convinced me that they would be a good company to establish a relationship with. They connected the new water service line into my existing underground sprinkler system at no additional charge. Finally, the dug out and replaced the bushes rather than trampling them. They could have made it my responsibility, ruined the plants, or just dug them up and left them aside -but they replanted them. Overall, an excellent experience with an otherwise unpleasant and costly surprise.

I've used Barney before, He came on one days notice, He gave me a time window and arrived in the time. I felt like I needed to be there and explain the job in detail but soon relized he knew what he was doing... He did a wonderfull job as expected and such a pleasure to hire. It took him about an hour and he was so clean. I feel completely comfortable leaving him in my house and would hire him again in a second.

We found the experience friendly and Mr. Gidders and his son easy to work with. The work was done quickly and although there may have been a couple of things that he needed to come back for, the response time was fast and the fix was done with a smile. Mr. Gidders showed up the very first day ready to do the work but we were only ready for an estimate that day and so they walked around with us and our checklist to view our projects and made suggestions on how best to work on them. They suggested where to look at faucets and to call the manufacturer for replacement parts that should be under warranty. They worked within our budget. And Mr. Gidders has good stories to tell. I like the new faucet in the kitchen, even though it was a different color from what I had asked for. He was going to re-order it but I liked this one better and am happy that I kept it. I wiill definitely call them if I need plumbing work again, though I hope that we don't.

We have been using Gidders and Sons Plumbing for the past 7 years for all our plumbing work. Barney always comes when he says he will, does an excellent job and charges a very fair price. No job is too big or too small for them. We trust Barney because he is always straightforward with what needed to be done. He would not dream up some "chronic problem" to get more money from us. We are very impressed with Barney's expertise, his patience and his truthful advice to us. His main goal is to provide high quality service to his customers. This father-son business represents the kind of work ethic that's long gone.
