Called the number listed in Angie's list and they dispatched someone the next day. they arrived within the 5 hour window quoted, made an obvious effort to keep the workspace and house clean by laying down drop cloths and wearing 'booties' on their feet. They fixed the problem quickly-barely an hour passed and they cleaned up took our payment and they were on their way.
Description of Work: Kitchen drain was leaking badly-it has separated from the garbage disposal. The trap was replaced.

It took a little longer than we expected to actually get the work scheduled, but once we agreed on a date, they showed up on time and were very professional. They took the time to understand what our remodeling plans were and brought the old plumbing up to code. They worked steadily through the whole day, completing the project earlier than planned. They explained the work when completed and gave us welcome tips on how to proceed with the remodeling. We would definitely work with them again.
Description of Work: Remodelling our master bathroom. We contracted with them to refit our single sink to a double, change bathtub plumbing to shower only plumbing and convert sink plumbing from a second vanity in our bedroom to accommodate a soaking bathtub.

Very well. He took his time to make sure all possible places for the leak were checked; make sure all pipes were clear. Very professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Locate and repaired leak in ceiling. Took the time to go over every possible location of the leak and sealed up all potential water outlets. Explained to me what he was doing (in language I could understand!) as he was making every check. Told me how to check for leaks in the future (hopefully none!!).

They solved all the plumbing issues!
Description of Work: Outstanding company. Called them New Years eve, asking for a service call the same day. This was after calling two other plumbers, and Carroll Sheve and Son's said even though they were busy, they would tray for that afternoon. Randy showed up at 3 15 PM, and within an hour and half had fixed all the issues I knew about and ones he found. VERY IMPRESSIVE work ethic and customer focussed. I highly recommend this company, and ASK for Randy.

Appointment was for today, between 8 -12.. I confirmed with Shreve-McGonegal (SM) at 10:15 today. By 12:15 service man had not appeared nor called to explain delay. I called SM; within 10 minutes, service man called to apologize - his previous house call had resulted in additional work not programmed and so he was running behind schedule. He said he would be here within 30 minutes, and he was. I had leaking water around the toilet, but serviceman determined that tank was not properly bolted to seat, and instead of removing entire assembly and replacing seal (fairly expensive), he suggested tightening bolts (tank to seat) should solve problem. We agreed to give that a try, and service charges were reduced to under $100 using Angie's List coupon. So, while I have rated him low on punctuality (it was not entirely his fault, although a courtesy call would have been appreciated), I would give him high marks for honesty in not doing unnecessary work - nobody likes to feel they've been ripped off.
Description of Work: I had noticed water on bathroom floor apparently coming from toilet. I suspected toilet needed to be reseated and the seal replaced.

First appointment of the day and he arrived slightly early which was great! I went over what I thought was the issue and he then took a look and concurred. He did a great job identifying the problem, telling me why it happened, how to prevent it in the future, and then fixing it. First time using this company and would do it again, especially would ask for Randy.
Description of Work: Replace the flange. Did a great job. Randy was not only very professional but very funny! I watched over him the entire time (as I am trying to learn how to do things myself) and I think I can do this myself next time! Did great work

A technician showed up within the promised range, gave a verbal estimate of $3,500, collected $50 for the visit and said that his supervisor would confirm the estimate and the expected service date within an hour. He did not. I called few hours later and someone from the customer service (not sure if this was the promised supervisor or not) increased the price tag to $4,000, again verbally and without much explanation. At this point I decided to drop them. This is a big contrast with a couple of other plumbers I called for an estimate: free estimate, written and detailed pricing, professional attitude. Will never call Shreve-McGonegal again.

I spoke to other plumbers to get a better price and ended up speaking to the manager who recognized that I was a longtime customer who should have been offered a few discounts but did not get those offers. He made me the offer to cover the labor cost and I only bought the part (the part was $150).
Description of Work: It's a tough thing with plumbers to find a reasonable company. I have a kohler toilet and there was a leak that the first plumber only replaced a washer. Then it leaked again and they sent another plumber who said I needed a $400 replacement job that includes the part and labor.

The plumbers were very efficient and professional. They showed up on time and were able to determine quickly what the problems were. The services are not the cheapest on the market, but it is worth it to get the job done right.

The technician arrived and helped identify the source of the leak that was causing a lot of water being lost. I thought the technician was knowledgeable, helpful, and reasonable but the price was high for the work he performed. I didn't even know how much it was going to be until the end. That was my mistake a bit but there was real sticker shock at the end, especially because the whole time he spent was maybe 30 minutes or less. I don't think that I would never use them again but I will at least try several others before I try them again.
Description of Work: The plumber came and identified that a leak I pointed out was indeed the only leak in the system.

Could not be more satisfied. Prompt professional service.
Description of Work: Bath tub would not drain. After trying to clear with Draino, which did not work, I decided that I needed a plumber. I was sure that it needed to be snaked out so I called a couple of the firms on Angies List. Carroll Shreve sent a plumber (Randy) out the next day. He gave me an estimate of about $250. Rather than getting his equipment to snake the tub, he first did a basic inspection which reveled the the problem was a faulty instillation of the plunger (holds the water in the tub) rather than an obstruction in the pipes. He adjusted the plunger and everything worked well. Took him less than 15 minutes. Very professional in his work. He also gave me the "new customer" discount. When I need a plumber again I will certainly call Carroll Shreve.

During another fix-it project, we needed to turn off the water supply to the house. Thus, discovered that there had been a leak close to the shut off valve for some time. Our regular handyman could not do the work so we saw that Shreve-McGonegal was highly rated and called...they came within a couple of hours and did the work with excellence. I wish these kinds of events didn't cost as much as they do, but I feel very satisfied that the work was of high quality and will last longer than we will. Technician was by far the best plumber we have ever used.
Description of Work: Had a leaking pipe that our handyman could not get at and didn't have the correct tools and parts and the Shreve-McGonegal guy came fairly quickly, worked quickly, neatly, courteously....could not have been better.

Unable to comment upon, since they never showed up.
Description of Work: I called & set the time up several days ahead of time to an agreed-to 8-12 window of service. The day of, I was working at home and they did call my home phone a couple of times (to confirm), however I was unable to answer being on a work call. I was able to return their call about 15 minutes after the last call, and aknowledged I was at home. At 12:50, still no plumber. I called, and was told that since the plumber was unable to get in touch with me in the morning, they moved on to the next job. When they did call me back, they were calling from a job in MD (I live in Fairfax). I told them to forget it.

Called on a weekend after the basement ceiling was leaking fron a water leak at the kitchen sink. We turned the house water off and drained the pipes. Randy was on call...he had to drive from Warrenton to FallsChurch to pick up the Company truck....Why the company doesn't give the truck to the on call guy is questionable. After 5 visits (over 5 days) we thought the water leak was under control but the leak resumed after a week....we called a friend over who does remodeling and he found that the soldering was not complete and repaired the problem for $40 for parts...Randy did $600 worth of a side job of putting washers in the faucet, which later had to be replaced as the faucet had a crack in it and replacing the sink faucet and spigot...He tried to solder the pipes with limited access as the floor of the cabinet would only tip about 8 inches...Our friend cut through the base of the cabinet and replaced the 2 pipes that had leaks...The original pipe was charged to the company and the other pipe was paid in cash to Randy....
Description of Work: Fee to come on a weekend $150 Fee to repair one leak $305 cash to plumber to repair other leak $200 cash to change washers $100 cash to install new faucet $250

I called Shreve-McGonegal after my mom called in a frantic state because the bathroom sink and tub was clogged and not draining. The person I spoke to was very polite and extremely helpful. I was able to get a technician the same day. I also informed them that my mom was a senior citizen and didn't have credit cards so was told that she could write a check for the services. When I checked back later in the evening, my mom said Shreve-McGonegal came and unclogged the drain. She was very pleased which made me very pleased. Thank you for your excellent response and workmanship! I would definately call Shreve-McGonegal for the next plumbing problem.

We went to Shreve-McGonegal (S-M) for a second opinion on some repair work for our kitchen faucet. Our first choice had quoted an enormous sum (about $650) to replace our kitchen faucet and I called S-M after reading their good reviews on Angie's List. S-M offered same day service and their plumber was extremely professional, efficient, and friendly. He walked us through every step as he worked to identify the cause of our problem and was able to identify a solution to our problem at a fraction of the cost of the original plumber (about $75) and without needing to replace the faucet. Overall, I was very happy with our experience. Their dispatching fee is a bit higher than some of the other services I called (about $50) but I was extremely satisfied with their work and would not hesitate to hire them again.

They didn't show up after asking me to be available between 12 - 5p
Description of Work: I found this company on Angie's list on 9/7 and called before 9 - they said someone would be there between 12 - 5p We waited 5 hours and no one showed up. At 6:25p I got a call from the company saying that a job had gone over and could they come over. By that time I was out at dinner and our plumbing did not get fixed so I have to start over. If they had called I could have made arrangements to stay later, or tried another service provider. 5 hours is a long time to wait - and then no service!

I received service within 24 hours of my call. They were very professional and went into detail about whether or not the faucet should be repaired or replaced. This helped us make the decision to have the faucet replaced. He had all the parts with him and the replacement was complete in about an hour. I would definitely use this plumber again!
