I had a very good experience with this provider a number of months back. When a few months down the road the joint they repaired below my sink began to leak I had them back and they reworked it. Another few months and the same thing happened. This time I tightened the joint and the leak stopped. A few more months and the same thing happened again. This time I took the joint apart and found that the gooseneck that was used should never have been used in that position. It was never going to stay tight. Now I would have been willing to pay to rework the whole drain as the drain into the wall is too high and makes the application difficult. However when I called I got the answering machine and after about 3 weeks of waiting the first time I fixed the leak myself. Thinking I should give them another chance about three months later when it leaked again I again called and got the answering machine. After two weeks this time with no call I called and got Jeremy. Thinking I would let him off the hook I asked why he had not returned my calls. His answer was that he got overwhelmed and just couldn't answer the calls. I said it sounded like he was a little to busy and maybe I should go somewhere else. He said he thought maybe that was so. I have to admit I was saddened by this because I had told many of my good initial experience. However waiting several weeks twice with no call back is never good in service business.

Installer arrived early in the morning, introduced himself and went to work. I was worried that the toilet had to be raised to sit on the flange but only a small amount of shimming was required. I am happy and my renters are very happy to have a functioning toilet again. This is the third time I've used Absolute Plumbing and I will again.
Description of Work: Removed old toilet and installed a new one that was listed as a Special through Angie's List. One price for the toilet and installation.

OMG- what a nice experience! The company rep. who answered the phone was patient and kind- answered questions and was able to set up what I wanted on a Saturday (!) at a convenient time. Besides fixing a drippy valve, I wanted to be shown how to drain my H20 heater and had some other questions. Dustin did an excellent job- was polite, knowledgeable and walked me through the H2O heater process patiently. He also had recommendations for replacing some old tub fixtures which I was not aware could be done so easily. Having had difficult experiences in the past with having plumbing work done, this was such a relief. I will happily call Absolute for further plumbing work I need done. Thanks Angie's List!

I contacted the provider for an estimate due to the glowing reviews posted here. My experience with this provider fails all the criteria for reliability and a big fat F for communication. Provider came out, removed a needed part from my bathroom faucet so he could match it up. So far so good. He informed me that he would contact me the next morning to discuss the issue and the solution. 3 business days or so have passed and I decided to call the provider. The nice man on the phone said he was "busy doing estimates, and would contact us first thing tomorrow morning." He did not contact us. I waited another 3 business days and he informed me that the part cannot be found. Now I understand these things happen, but my bathrooms (Two bathrooms share the water that he cut off) are out of commission. This was a fairly urgent fix that was needed. I do not blame them for not finding the part. This is totally fine. The biggest issue is them not following through with their communication. Points were also lost on professionalism because it is not professional to leave a home owner hanging for this long. If you remove parts from our house, at least put it back. If they had gotten back to me like they said, this would have been a glowing review. Customer service is extremely important to me and Absolute plumbing failed miserably in that department.
Description of Work: Provided an estimate for leaking faucet. (Never actually gave us an estimate due to parts not found).

Plumber was polite and pleasant, and on time too. The repairs were accomplished for my elderly mom. She felt very comfortable with the plumber, who explained the what her options were for the repair, and he called me (the son) multiple times to inform me what he was planning to do, before he did it.
Description of Work: Leaking Exterior hose bib was replaced with a new bib in a new location. Old bib was disconnected from the water supply line to stop the leaking, but the bib itself was inaccessible without cutting into drywall. To minimize wall repairs, a new bib was installed in a location that was convenient to hook into the water line under the kitchen sink.

Dustin and Chris were professional, polite, and very efficient. It's a total relief to find a company you can rely on and not worry about being ripped off or over charged. Can't say enough about how great they were. Plus Jeremy gave me an approximate estimate over the phone before they even came out and they were pretty darn close. Price was reasonable and I look forward to working with them again on future projects.

He arrived on time and was very professional. He talked to me about the plumbing, told/showed me how to drain the water heater, and gave a couple of pointers on things to do in the future. For example, he told me to watch the garbage disposal since it is nearing the end of its life and told me to replace it with a larger size to ensure that the waste would be pulverized, thereby reducing the possibility of drain clogs.

I purchased 3 Angie's deals for various plumbing jobs, requiring 3 different visits from Mitch. Mitch was great. Good sense of humor and very professional & informative. When he did the house check for leaks, he explained things to me and showed me what he was doing and what to watch for. That was his first visit & we talked about the garbage disposal & toilet, both of which I thought needed replacing but wanted him to look at them first. We talked about upgrades for both and the advantages. He never pushed the upgrades or more service, just explained. We went with the upgraded toilet as it made sense and declined the upgraded disposal. Mitch was always right on time or a little early with a smile and good attitude. It was a pleasure to work with him. Also, Jeremy who responded to my email questions was very responsive and quick to reply. The entire experience was good, and I will definitely call Absolute again for plumbing needs.

We had a drain outside that always flooded when it rained and water would come into the garage. They came out with the equipment needed but were unable to get through due to the pipe having something in the way. They came out again with a different system to try and get through but were still unable to get through. They said they thought the pipe had collapsed so a major dig through our sidewalk would be necessary in order to fix the problem and it would be very costly. They suggested ways we could do it ourselves to save money. They charged us a minimum for their services. They had also installed a tankless water heater for us previously.they did a great job.

Great!. I observed the work from start to finish. The technician was pleaseant, competent, clean and fast. I could have probably done the work except for a shoulder injury so I know what needs to be done and he did it well and much faster than I could have. I was exceptionally pleased with the result. I have tried several other local firms with not nearly the same results. I would highly recommend this group.
