These guys are always great and courteous. We come back to Button because it is a family owned and operated business. They are all personable and generous with their time. This visit included the son of the owner and a journeyman. Both were so professional, worked quickly, and even asked if there was anything else that they could do to make our lives easier.
Description of Work: Our visit included snaking 2 toilets, clearing 2 slow sink drains, and fixing a sink stopper. They are excellent and efficient.

They arrived on time and started to work being very mindful of laying down tarps on the floor so they wouldn't be tracking dirt in. Once they started to work they just kept at it and the only slow down was when they took the time to answer any questions that I had. They finished the job by the time they promised and throughly cleaned all the work areas. We will certainly use this company in the future and recommend they to our friends.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced all our water pipes.

They need to get their act together on follow up and scheduling in order to receive higher ratings in my book, but I WOULD use them again if I ever had a problem with plumbing. The principal is an excellent professional, but he needs to be careful about the individuals who do any work on his behalf. This is a small local business, and I would like to see them succeed.
Description of Work: This company did provide the lowest priced bid for a licensed plumber. They required significant follow up on my part to deliver on time. The first time the job was done, it was not done to code. At one point an employee came back, and forgot to set the valves correctly, so when I ran my washing machine, there was water everywhere. In the end, they honored their price, and the job was done at a level that passed muster with the Renton inspection folks.

This was our second time using Button Plumbing, having originally hired them to help with plumbing rough-in for a bathroom remodel. We originally hired them based on several stellar reviews from co-workers. In this case, we were replacing the main while installing a french drain. Our landscaping company did all the trench work for the new water main, so Button plumbing was willing to give us a very low bid, figuring that there would be a total of a couple of hours worth of work. The job seemed to go smoothly enough, but the next day the work failed permit inspection for technical reasons. Basically, the original water main had been installed through a small hole in our foundation about a foot under ground. Shawn understandably re-used this same hole when he installed the new main. Unfortunately, current code requires that the main be at least 18" deep when it enters the house, to avoid the frost line. This required doing the entire job all over again from scratch, digging under the foundation to lay the pipe deeply enough to meet code. We told Shawn that the inspection had failed, and he was incredibly responsive. He put other clients on hold in order to come out the next morning and do the job again from scratch. As a result, he invested twice as much in time and materials as he had planned when he bid the job. Nevertheless, he re-did the work quickly and well, and did not charge anything above the original bid amount. I was very impressed by the quality of service, especially given that the scope of work was so small, and the permitting process ended up being so onerous.
Description of Work: Shawn from Button plumbing installed a new water main, replacing the original 45yr old steel water main line with new copper and plastic pipe. Added new shut off valves.

We discovered the clogged drain at noon on Thursday and immediately called Button Plumbing. Carol scheduled an appointment for later the same afternoon. Shawn and Matt arrived at 4pm and by 5pm the drain was unplugged...thanks to their expertise and their handy-dandy snake! I was impressed by the ease in scheduling an appointment, the punctuality of the crew and their attention to detail. Shawn even swept the floor before he left. Good job guys!
Description of Work: The sink in our laundry tub was totally blocked. Shawn (Sean?) and his helper Matt proceeded to snake the drain and within a few minutes it was unclogged and draining well.

I had an appointment with Button Plumbing to provide me with an estimate for plumbing work for a kitchen remodel. I called about a week ago and set up the appointment. I was told Jim would be at my house between 5 and 7. On the appointment day at 4:30 pm, I called to confirm and was told it would be more like 6pm. 6pm came and went, 6:30, 7:00, 7:30. At 7:45 I called Button Plumbing and got an answering machine so I left a message. It wasn't until after 8pm that I got a response to my voicemail saying he wasn't coming. I completely understand that jobs can take longer than estimated, however, a simple courtesy call at 7pm to tell me he was running late or wasn't coming should have been made but instead I had to call you only to get an answering machine. Very unprofessional. I postponed dinner thinking we could eat after he left. You would think in today's ecomonic times that contractors would be more responsive and considerate. You would not have received this negative comment if you would only have called me instead of making me wait around and then having to call you when Jim didn't show. I was asked if I wanted to re-schedule. No way. If he didn't show up the first time, how can I count on him showing up the second time.

Response from BUTTON PLUMBING & HEATING, LLC
Unfortunately you are correct. We do our best to make it to our appointments on time, and try and call when we know we are going to be late. Our office staff is in the office until 5:00pm, and after that any messages that are left are returned within one hour which is stated on our voice mail. Sometimes, which in this case is what happened, the plumber JIm, was stuck under a house from 4:15 until 7:55pm repairing a clogged and broken sewer line. As with any job we are on, it takes priorty until we are completed. He called me at home and I called this customer to apologize and attempted to reschedule which she unfortunately refused.

Jim has a professional approach to his work. Our project was complicated because there were so many unknowns. Before his part of the project started, Jim visited the job site more than once to advise us and make sure we could do what we wanted to accomplish. Jim gave us confidence that no matter what we discovered in the walls, he could make it work for us. He was rarely punctual, but that was a pretty minor issue compared to the overall job. Carole could always track him down for us. I was very pleased with his work, and the demeanor of Jim and Sean and their crew. I would definitely hire him again. Not only is he a good plumber, he is "good people."
Description of Work: Jim did all the plumbing associated with our kitchen and bath rennovation. He moved some pipes that were exposed in removal of a load bearing wall. He moved and tucked another drain pipe into the wall which eliminated a "bump out" and allowed us more cabinet space. He roughed in our prep sink, moved our dishwasher, moved our main sink, upgraded the pipes underneath, installed a new toilet, installed 2 new faucets, and moved the plumbing line for our icemaker fridge.

I called and scheduled with Button Plumbing. They arrived just as scheduled and promptly did all the work necessary to keep water out of our walls and to make our shower work more comfortably. The reason I like Button Plumbing is that they don't make the work out to be more than it is and when it is done it works, no water leaks and everything is tested. They are more worried about keeping my house clean than I am as they removed their shoes but the area we were working is demolished as we are renovating this area of the house and uncovered this small leak in the vent pipe. I'll continue to use Button for all my plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Repaired leak in our sewer vent pipe and stabilized the shower head pipe and straightened out the shower head to spray more properly into our shower.

My sincerest apologies for the missed appointment. I was in my car when making this appointment and failed badly by not transfering the information to our appointment book. It is our goal to not miss appointments and keep all customers, both new and returning, as our first prioity. I hope that you will give us another chance when a need arises.

The job went very smoothly thanks to clear communication. They always arrived when they said they would and kept us informed. Their recommendations saved us a lot of time, money, and effort.
Description of Work: We had a leak somewhere in the supply line for the house. The receptionist made some recommendations for some digging we could do that would make the process go faster and significantly reduce the cost. This meant that when they arrived to give an estimate, we had things ready for them. Button suggested that we dig a new trench (a great project for my teenagers) showed where to dig it, and gave some pointers. The day after we finished the trench, they came out and installed the new supply line.

Sean arrived on time and had removed his shoes before we opened the door. He and his apprentice were eager to please and did whatever we asked them to do with skill and good humor. We asked Sean to return to readjust the hot water setting in the shower and he did so at no extra charge. They worked approximately an hour and a half and feel the charge was appropriate. The entire experience was stress free and we even feel that we've made 2 good friends. We will definitely hire them for any future plumbing needs.

Sean (or Shawn) Button and his assistant Matthew were great. Very nice, polite, funny, and easy to talk to. Kept me informed about what they were doing and thinking. Fixed two of my three problems; for the third he explained very clearly why he couldn't fix it and gave me options. I was told it would cost $100/hr. He charged me $150/hr because Matthew was with him. But they were there for 1.5 hours and he only charged me for an hour, so I was happy. They were efficient and clean. Took their shoes off at the front door and cleaned up after the job. On time.
Late with no phone call, but immediately responded to our call with new arrival time. Previous job more involved. He replaced a valve/thermostat that we had ordered on-line, but needed help installing. Estimates from others for this job were $500, including the valve. Valve cost $95 on line. Install was $100, including installing a new shutoff valve that we had also purchased. He also showed us how to replace this part without a plumber in the future! Worth every penny. We would definitely recommend Button Plumbing.
Description of Work: Broken valve/thermostat in hot water heat (radiator) system was replaced as well as a shutoff valve.

Description of Work: We had a busted water pipe in the garage. This was during a busy season. I had other companies come out and wanted to charge thousands of dollars. He came over and said all we needed was a cut off valve.

For a variety of reasons, it turned out that moving the existing supply line was going to be a very involved (and expensive) project. Jim Button suggested that he would like to try to fit the new toilet into the space without moving the line. I was skeptical, but Jim got it to work! His hunch and professional finesse saved me quite a bit of money.
Description of Work: I reported on Button Plumbing a month ago, but I had him return to do some other, new work. This time I asked Mr. Button to move a supply line to accommodate a new toilet. The ceramic skirting on the new unit was conflicting with the existing toilet supply line stop valve.

Very happy with service. Jim's wife talked to be on the phone prior to my buying the sink and faucet and reassured me about finding the right thing (it can be confusing and overwhelming to choose a simple sink!) Jim arrived on time, removed his shoes, was very polite and did the job. When he realized that the granite needed to be cut, he told me he could do it but would prefer not to because that's not his area of expertise. He called someone else to do that part of it. That person came and went quickly. Jim's son came and did the final install. The next morning there was water under the sink. His son returned at 7:30 a.m. and discovered a major split in the plastic pipe that he had gotten out of a new package. He replaced that and that was it. The price was right and everyone concerned could not have been nicer or more helpful. This is hte first time I've used Ange's list and I'm very happy with the results.

When I called Jim Button at Button Plumbing, his wife answered. She was very pleasant and helpful. When asked, she quoted his rate as $100.00/hr. and said that if he brought a helper, the helper's rate would be $50.00/hr. I agreed that this was fine. Since this was not an emergency, we scheduled for three days in the future. Jim was on time and arrived ready to go to work. The stop valve replacements went quickly, but the installation of the shower valving was quite complicated with multiple short runs of twisting and turning half-inch copper tubing to get the water to go where it was needed. In the end, the job came out just the way I wanted. Jim is not only a seasoned and skilled craftsman, but a very pleasant personality as well.
Description of Work: Installation of new tub-shower tempature/volume control valve, three-way diverter and outlets for tub spout, shower head and hand-held shower wand. Also, replacement of six old-style stop valves with new quarter-turn stop valves.

Perfect, start to finish. See the description of services performed.
Description of Work: Shower drain pipes joined into common waste pipe under the floor. Something obstructed the common pipe, causing both shower drains to back up and fill the tubs with crud. I tried various self-help methods (chemicals, plungers) which failed, and the problem was getting worse for a few days. In desperation we called Button. The service tech came out at night in lousy weather. He fed a power snake into the drains but the obstruction defeated the snake. He got out a bigger snake which finally did the job. While he was here, we asked him to install a new kitchen faucet assembly. He was quick, professional, had all the equipment he needed, cleaned up well. In my opinion he undercharged us. I paid him extra which he tried to refuse, but I insisted that he take the extra payment because he saved me from having a stroke and saved my wife from having to endure my fruitless struggle with the problem.
