Tim from Gene Wagner plumbing was great. He was able to make some suggestions based on our needs. He even offered to do some of the other work we needed. We ended up going with someone else who could do the others things sooner. But we did have him manage the washer/dryer installation and the bathroom work. The job was done quickly once we got it scheduled. He even met individually with my mother to be sure the handicap accessibility bars were installed for her height.
Description of Work: - install washer/dryer hook-ups on first floor of house - install handicap bars and shower in bathtub - remove cabinet sink and replace with pedestal sink

Very very well. The best part about this story is that when I called in the morning, they told me that someone could come out early in the afternoon, so everything was completed the same day. It was great, very easy, and they've done consistently excellent work in our old house.
Description of Work: One of the valves on the utility sink in our basement was leaking. An employee came out, replaced the valve and made sure the water was working throughout the house before leaving.

They charged $113 an hour. He was nice, but he was not here an hour. They use that extra time writing up the paperwork and just stalling around to make that hour. There was a $5 fuel surcharge also, and I had a $10 Angie's List coupon.
Description of Work: They put in a 3/4" black plug on my water heater, which was $3.91. They also removed a leaking pipe next to the water heater and the gas pipeline was already capped off.

Great experience. Will use them again in the future and would recommend to others.
Description of Work: I was in the process of replacing an existing toilet. After I removed old toilet I found that there was extensive rot and rust from cast iron piping and was beyond my “expertise”. That's when I called Gene Wagner Plumbing. Called at 8 am and Dave came over at 10 am that same day. Dave took care of the rusted old bolts and installed the new toilet within an hour. He was very knowledgeable and professional.

One thing that I didn?t like was that he didn?t take his shoes off after he worked on the pipes. So it made a mess in the basement with all of that junk. His boots were wet with the black sewage. I also had him work on the 2 bathrooms. He trailed that all the way up the stairs on the carpet through the family room to the other bathroom. I was not happy about that. However it was my fault and I should have told him after he walked on the carpet. He did a fine job. He was nice and courteous. He came out fairly quickly. Their price was average.
Description of Work: Gene a Wagner Plumbing Co Inc worked on the fore drain in the basement up to the street about a week ago.

I called Gene Wagner plumbing at 7:00 am on Wednesday morning and they told me they would call between 11 am and 1 pm that day when a plumber was going to arrive. They called at 12:42 and the plumber arrived at 1:05. The plumber assessed the situation and went to his truck, where he had the replacement parts on hand. He was able to replace all of the leaky valves, and explained to me what was wrong with the old valves. He did an excellent job cleaning up after he was done and making sure I understand what work he did. He left at 2:35. In this instance and my prior experience with this company, they charge a $5 truck fee (which is great!), but they also charge you for the time it takes for them to drive from their previous job. So even though he got at our home at 1:05, we started getting charged at 12:35. Lastly, while I enjoy a friendly plumber, I felt that he chatted a lot and could have gotten the job done 15-30 minutes sooner if he wasn't so chatty and didn't take as long writing up our bill. Part of that could be my fault, but at $113/hour, I would hope for more courtesy towards my time/money.
Description of Work: Fixed a leaky shower head and valve as well as a leaky handle on our jacuzzi tub. Parts replaced were Kohler parts that were initially installed in 1999/2000.

On Saturday morning of a holiday weekend, bathtub suddenly drained very slowly and when toilet was flushed water backed up into the tub. Called Gene Wagner Plumbing, We were told of the cost of service call and they said the plumber would call when he was on the way. He did and arrived within an hour or so of our call. After trying to use the snake down the toilet and the tub drain with no improvement, he opened the stack and found tree roots in the line going out to the street which he cleaned out. Very professional, courteous and left things cleaned up. We have an odd sized plug on the stack which could use a replacement, he did not have one in stock but said he would notify the office to try to get one and would let us know. We were called during the following week that they were unsuccessful in finding us the correct size plug.
Description of Work: Cleaned tree roots from main sewer line.

The plumber arrived on time and worked consistently throughout the time he was here (about 7 hours). He cleaned the drains inside, then cleared the sewer lines outside. While cleaning the outside lines, he found that the line from the house out to the street was blocked and he recommended we get the line scoped with a special camera (which required another appt. on a different day). After the outside lines were cleared to the best of his ability, the plumber installed a new utility tub in basement, shut-off valves to wash machine and replaced some old pipes we wanted replaced. The company returned the following business day, did the scoping of the pipe out to the street and determined we have a cracked sewer pipe, which is stopping rain water from reaching the pipe in the street. Due to cost, we decided not to have them fix the pipe, but rather to disconnect our downspouts from the city sewer line.
Description of Work: Drains and lines connected to the city sewer lines were cleaned. New utility tub was installed in basement and several pipes and shut-off valves were installed.

I was highly impressed with this plumbing service to the point that I sent a thank you note! I had a liaison come out initially who didn't mind we were late (although we were embarrassed). He was the first plumber to give an honest answer that he would search for the porcelain handles on our tub vs. selling us a whole new system. They did track down a set and ordered them. Although the 2 sinks were not a recognized brand, they did their best to change the gaskets with "matching" parts. It was successful as we haven't had a problem since! He also did great follow up and called to make sure we were happy. Awesome company.
Description of Work: Replaced faucet handles and seals on a few leaky faucets.

Although the plumber arrived later than originally scheduled, he did the work in less than two hours. Because we asked for a change to the pitch of the pipe that goes out through the wall, he checked with us before actually drilling the new hole. He answered all of our questions politely and cleaned up after himself.
Description of Work: Replaced broken outdoor faucet and burst indoor pipe. Also changed the placement of the pipe going through the outside wall for better drainage to prevent freezing. Filed permit with city.

When we called to set up an appointment for an estimate, Tim was able to come out within a few days. He arrived on time. However, he joked around a lot so we weren't sure if he understood the plumbing services we needed. He said he would get us an estimate but never did. When I called to follow up on the estimate, Tim did not return my phone call.

A representative called during the previously agreed to window of time to say that a representative was on his way. Approximately five minutes later John arrived. He clarified work needed and my preferences regarding it. He was great with my son who was interested in his work. He cleaned up his work areas when finished. Our invoice was appropiately detailed with anticipated expenses.

We were very pleased with the service. Our emergency occurred at the time we were having the extreme cold snap - on a Saturday afternoon. This was the second company we contacted; we received a call back within 1/2 hour. The indication was that someone could be here within the hour - acknowledging that it was double time for Saturday work. The person arrived within the allotted period, replaced the necessary pipes and tested to be sure there were no leaks.

They arrived right on time, professionally dressed, polite and professional -- he fixed the problem with the sink (it wasn't a pipe, actually, it was the seal around the drain), replaced it quickly, and then took the time to fix our leaky faucet -- which hasn't leaked since. This was so impressive to us, because we had different plumbers in last year, who tried to fix both problems and ended up fixing neither. It was a great experience, I was very pleased.

As earlier stated, a great guy to work with. He was slow in getting an estimate to me though, and it was the most expensive of the four I received--double of the company I went with.
Description of Work: The salesman was very professional--of all the estimates I had done, he was the only one who bothered to turn the water on to see what kind of water pressure we had (or in this case, didn't have!). He suspected the problem might be at the meter, and encouraged me to call the city and have it checked. He further offered to come by when the city was here to be sure his questions were addressed. The city showed up early, and I called him to let him know--he came right over and was able to talk to them personally. As is turned out, it wasn't a problem at the meter, but I was impressed that he investigated this and put his own time into it.
