Gene came out and gave me an estimate for some work I needed done. He was very professional and explained the process of what needed to be done. Once I'm ready to get the work done, I will definitely be calling Gene to schedule it.

SET YOUR FEARS ABOUT HIRING A PLUMBER AT REST!! I actually have a high anxiety level when I ask for help on things I know will not turn out well when I attempt to do them myself! Plumbing is one of those "things"...I ALWAYS expect (and get!) a leak or a break or ?? each time I pretend to be "Mr. Fixit" when it come to water repairs! So, when I had a slow draining shower combined with a "gurgling" toilet, I started to "sweat bullets" as I thought about who I would call. Fortunately for me, I stumbled upon "All Purpose Plumbing". I checked the reviews and almost did not call...why?...all the reviews were 5 STARS...seemed pretty suspicious (remember, that is my nature when it comes to plumbing, etc.!)...who is THAT good!?!? But I called and low and behold I became a believer. I was blessed (never thought I would be blessed by a plumber!) to have Gene come out to the home less than an hour from my first contact with them...he has over 30 years experience and immediately put my fears at rest, as his professionalism and honesty was evident from the start. He predicted the problem and even referred me to another company that specialized in that repair area (broken/crushed main sewer line) to help save me money! Go figure!!! And here is the "icing on the cake" (or at least the stuff you find in a sewer pipe!), he called me back a few days later in order to see how everything was going! That, dear reader, blew my mind. Will I call them back...I hope not because that would mean I have another water-related problem...BUT, when I do have the need, Gene and All Purpose Plumbing is now on my IPhone Contacts and will be the first person I will call. This is NOT a paid commercial, even though it may sound like it! Bottom Line: If you have a plumbing problem call them!!!! :-)
Description of Work: Gave good honest in put to a plumbing problem....see below:

Description of Work: I needed a garbage disposal and kitchen faucet installed. It turned out the disposal just needed a tweaking and the technician took care of it without charge. He installed the faucet in a timely manner. I will call then again.

Our plumber, Gene, provided us with a number of options for addressing our toilet problem. He gave us easy-to-understand quotes for repairing or replacing the toilet. We elected to replace it. Because it was a no-longer standard color (gotta love those last '80s schemes), it had to be ordered. Thanks to All Purpose, it was ordered the same day, arrived three days later and was installed and running wtihin a week from the original visit. We couldn't be happier! Funny how something like a working toilet can make your life so much easier!
Description of Work: Replaced main toilet.

I have been using All Purpose Plumbing for the past three years. They first presented me with a list of jobs and the associated prices which I found to be reasonable. The first job entailed searching out the source of noise in my plumbing. It took several hours and a lot of investigation before the cause was found - a rock had lodged in the pressure regulator. At that point I was so pleased I joined their preferred customer program whereby I pay a small amount each month to receive preferred service - immediate response and no up charge for weekend and holiday service. Additionally, they credit the amount paid monthly back to the current charge. Next I needed a new water heater and it was installed at a reasonable price and discounted for my membership fees. A simple job that was done to my satisfaction. Recently I decided to remodel a small half bath and began working on the plumbing. Of course, I caused a small leak in one of the supply lines. I called All Purpose and Gene, their excellent technician, was there to help within an hour. He not only fixed the leak he also moved the drain pipe which was too low for my new cabinet. Without charge he helped me demo the old cabinet. I am so glad he did because I don't think I could have done it by myself. Again I received a credit for all my past membership fees. I will continue to use All Purpose Plumbing and be a preferred member.

will an expert came out to do diagnostics with nothing but walk around to do assessment on water leak from water meter to the house. The is a one obvious spot that water come out from the yard. With any equipment, he told me that water from upper slop and drip down. When I showed him the main shutoff water in the garage, he was pointing maybe some place else and suggested that need to repipe a new line from water meter to the house be cause the current pipe is 160PSI, it needs to replace with 200PSI. and repair won't last long. it is time to replace it. the house is build 2000. and he said it is about time. I will see around neighborhood will have the same issue of broken pipe (and quot;what a mount full statement to meand quot;). The cost to replace new pipe is $5500.00. I paid $43.00 (because he has no change) for diagnostics but feel like he just want to sell for pipe replacement. when I asked about leak detection, he said he doesn't know anyone doing it. A little disappointed. Well anyway, I don't feel like it should be free quote for someone to stop by to give an estimate for new pipe replacement instead.

It really sucked. I felt like I was gauged. They said the cost depends on the jobs with different plumbers. He couldn't fix my bathroom toilet or dishwasher. He fixed one toilet and took out my disposal in the kitchen sink, which ended up costing around $400. They contracted out to Spartan Plumbing and Rooter to have these jobs done. All Purpose doesn't do the work, they subcontract out the jobs.
Description of Work: At my rental I had him look at a leak in the dish washer and fix on the toilet. At my house the toilet was also continually running and a leak in the kitchen sink.

I generally find the prices at VCA Alderwood Animal Hospital to be higher than other one-vet clinics. They are very thorough. They are convenient and are open 24 hours. They don't charge extra for a walk in unless it is after eleven at night. The staff is very caring. They try to accommodate both the owner and the animal which is possible. I would continue to go there in the future.
Description of Work: I use VCA Alderwood Animal Hospital for my pet's overall health care. I last went there within the last month.

I have used them before. They have always done good work. They hooked up my refrigerator and did a couple of outdoor work for me in the past. They are a little expensive, but they really do good work. They are a very friendly company and they guarantee their work. I’ll continue using them in the future.
Description of Work: I use All Purpose Plumbing. The last time I used their services was two months ago, to replace a faucet.
