The job went smoothly, except for one small problem. He left my house to get a part, but he was gone for 4 hours. I wasn't expecting this, but when he came back he got the job done within 45 minutes. It inconvenienced me, because I didn't know if I could leave or not. I have used this company before and they have done a fine job. I would consider using them in the future.
Description of Work: I hired this company to install the sink and faucet's in my kitchen and bathroom.

Pros: We were again very happy with this company. They showed up on time, and explained everything (again) in detail as to what would be done. They finished about 2 hours before they expected. The overall product was more than we expected, with extra ball valves ready to go for our future upstairs projects. Cons: It took our calling Randy to verify they had received the signed estimate (they had) before we could get an appointment. This was certainly not a deal breaker, and I wouldn't hestitate to use them again because of this.
Description of Work: Replaced cold water piping of approximately 50 feet from basement to outdoor spigot, including 3 ball valves and a capped branch to a future laundry room. Ran a hot water pipe & drain from basement to closet in preparation for future laundry room. All caulking done. Inlcuded clean up, with exception of putting some personal items back into the closet.

I most appreciated how Keith explained his logic before he cut into our wall. I would have been very upset if his reasoning had been wrong and we had a hole in our wall in addition to a leaky pipe.
Description of Work: Our washing machine was leaking into our basement whenever it ran. Keith from Zachow came to our house within a day of my call, explained how he determined the source of the problem (water was coming from the drain pipe from the washing machine), and accessed the leaky pipe by (conservatively) cutting into the wall next to the machine. He then figured out a way to fix the problem by gluing the existing pipe together (which the people who installed it either didn't do or didn't do well). He did not need to cut into the wall more and did not need to put in new pipe, which cut down on costs and time. He arrived on time and didn't take that long to determine and fix the problem. Excellent job.

He did a pretty good job. We liked them primarily because they were prompt and got back to us quickly. However, we thought that their price was high. If we need some work done, we might look for another plumber that has more reasonable prices because we thought we were overcharged. The charge issue was really huge. I have a friend who had a negative experience with them probably based on a price issue dispute regarding the price.

I called at 8:30am and explained our problem. I was told someone would be at the house between 10am and 10:30am. I expected to have to wait a day for service so I was pleasantly surprised at the promptness of the service. The doorbell rang right at 10am and two gentlemen got to work right away cleaning the sewer drain. They had to dig through a lot of tree roots. They were finished in a little more than an hour, cleaned up the minimal mess that was made and were very professional. The price was very reasonable.
Description of Work: Sewer drain cleaning... we were getting backup in the basement bathroom

Very prompt, timely, and professional. Overall a very good experience. Quote was done when asked and service scheduled on short notice to coordinate with new counter top and sink installation. Plumber was competent and completed the work in about two hours. The only thing I would do differently would be to ensure that the quote specified what type of materials would be used. PVC is standard for waste plumbing, but I did not want to use it for the sink and disposal traps and lines in the kitchen cabinet and thus had to later purchase my own materials for the final hook up. My own oversight as much as Mr. Zachow's.
Description of Work: Remove old waste line for kitchen sink and dishwasher drain in basement and replace with new line - new line connected to existing vent for sink to allow for homeowner to complete hook up after sink installation. Wall and floor were opened by homeowner to allow access. Provided labor and materials, including wye and traps for later connection to sink and disposal.

Our plumber was polite, professional and pleasant. He explained everything he was doing and was meticulous about his work.He diagnosed the problem immediately and said a new faucet would be unnecessary, as the current one would be well fixed, and it was.
Description of Work: Kitchen faucet flow restricted. Thought we would need a new faucet, but instead Don repaired current one so that it worked like brand new. They came the same morning I called, telling me where they were and when they would arrive.

I called on a Thursday afternoon asking if someone could come out and give me an estimate, but needed it done after 5:00 pm. The person on the phone indicated they could have someone come out the next day after the shop closed. The next day (Friday) at 6:00 pm someone came out and provided an estimate. I asked when they could have someone come out and do the work, and he said he could have someone come out next week. I mentioned I would be out of town, and asked if someone could come out over the weekend. He thought about it and said he had someone that could come the next day (Saturday). I know weekend rates are normally higher, so I asked if I would be charged the weekend rate, and he stated "no", they would charge me the normal rate. First thing Saturday morning someone was at my house and fixed everything, and cleaned up behind himself.
Description of Work: Replaced toilet trip lever (this is what stops the toilet from running), and bath tub pipe (tub waste, p-trap and tail piece) due to clogging every few months.

The plumber arrived right on time. He immediately got to work snaking the drain. He also warned me that the hardware would be the most expensive part. He was helpful in talking to me about replacing the well-made components I had rather than buying a new set. He was here and gone within an hour, everything was cleaned up and working well.
Description of Work: Snaked kitchen sink drain and replaced 50 year-old parts inside wall for bathroom faucet(was dripping and hard to move handle).

They were punctual. They were very courteous. They explained everything to me. They made sure to tell me what needed to be done and then they did it. I liked the billing. They sent me a bill and told me that I had thirty days to pay it in full, and if you don't have the bill paid in full they break it down into monthly installments with some additional interest.

Very well - I was so glad to have the option on how to proceed with the outside work - and he helped me save some money by repairing it the way he did rather than tearing out the whole pipe system.
Description of Work: My outside hose bib had frozen during the winter and was leaking water - couldn't turn it off. They gave me a few options for repair and ended up replacing the outside faucet and repairing the shut off valve inside. Also, they installed 2 stop valves on my basement sink.
