Friendly Plumber 5

So far, I've been very happy with this company.

Robert has always come to my house ON TIME and has offerred solutions to my many, many a problem (yep, I'm restoring a Victorian) to sometimes from what I can tell more of a loss in business for him.

I highly recommend Robert.

Friendly Plumber came to my house to look at our water heater and give me an estimate. I wanted a tankless water heater and so this was ordered and we made an appt to come back the Monday after it was supposed to come in to do the work. While working on the heater he noticed another small part to the pipe that needed to be repaired. He did not charge me for that part because he didn't add it into the original estimate. (very honorable) He was very professional and polite. He also had very good communication, leaving messages on both my home and mobile phone with updates as we were waiting for the heater.

Robert is an excellent contractor! He just finished a full bathroom remodel for me, and installed a tankless hot water heater at my house in 2008. That has been a Godsend to my four kids, and we now have a gorgeous showroom, bragging rights bathroom, my wife is so psyched about.

Robert was very professional and trustworthy. We are very pleased with his quality of work, and excellent attention to detail.

The price I paid Friendly Plumber was slightly higher than the another plumber's estimate, but I am happy with the results I got.

I was in a desperate rush for a plumber because my bathroom sink faucet wasn't working. I found Friendly Plumber through searching their reviews, and we first did a telephone 3-way with my dear landlord -- who is tanning in Maui as I write this, to get permission for them to work. This was really helpful in eliminating any questions on my landlord's part, because we're all at least in the same page, and I'm happy my problem was attended to by a professional.

Joseph did all the work in less than 3 hours, which really helped free up the rest of my day off. I was given a 4 hour window by another plumber just to show-up, and my hot water dispenser wasn't even going to be installed the same day.

Even my landlord is miraculously happy because the plumber's charge was reasonable and all the work is backed up by a warranty.

Special respect and many thanks to Joseph, who stuck with our "mystery leak" until it was solved. Gas fireplaces are tricky in that it's a specialty area between plumbing and electrical. Many plumbers can not handle this type of repair. I know because I went through eight seemingly expert companies in the Yellow Pages, and no one could give me any answers. Joseph came to my home a total of 5 times - until the repair was complete. Throughout what could have been an unpleasant and frustrating experience (for me and their company), all employees I have encountered were friendly and professional.

Great mom and pop operation. Fair price, friendly, knowledgeable. Joseph explained what he's doing and how it works. It is very hard to trust contractors these days, but I will only call him from now on. Thank you for being a true professional!

My mother's Victorian developed a bad leak in one of the bathrooms. If there's something that can be said about Victorians is the chain reaction of problems that can happen, once something sets it off.

Well, Joseph of Friendly Plumber came over a couple of nights ago, and squeezed us in at the end of his work day and fixed the leak like it was no big deal. My mom said she can tell he is definitely experienced at problem repairs. He was professional, quick and very considerate in what he charged her - not jacking up the price because she's a senior citizen.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You completely earned this good review, and all our business from now on.

I had Friendly Plumber come out for a leaky shower that another company told me could not be fixed. Their guy came out promptly, was friendly, and fixed it and then I showed him water under my wall-mount toilet and he said it wasn't properly mounted, which is the cause of the water damage on our wall.

He recommended an emergency restoration company to take care of the water damage, and at first, he could not find the parts to fix the toilet because the previous plumber had mickey moused it, but he never gave up and found all the parts later that day to fix it.

I found Friendly Plumber to be very professional, knowledgeable and will do whatever it takes to fix the problem.

I will recomend them as everybody from their receptionist to their techs are a pleasure to work with!

I spent a horrible Friday waiting for a certain (ahem) Rooter company to arrive, and when they finally called at almost 4 in the afternoon to say they won't be able to make it, I search the web and found Friendly Plumber. I live in a Victorian and they were able to diagnose the problem right way (roots growing into our clay pipes) and fix the problem quickly and cheaply! Through out Rob gave me such personal attention and addressed every question, explained all that was happening, and made me feel very well taken care of.  The price they charged me was a little less than what the Rooter company told me over the phone, and I'm glad I didn't go cheap on their $30 Trip Charge because I think it was night and day, they were prompt and professional as opposed to the earlier flake of a plumbing company.  I haven't had any problems since and I wholeheartedly recommend Friendly Plumber to everyone I know!

I just wanted to say that after having paid 3 other plumbers to come out, Friendly Plumber was the first to really analyze and solve my gas pipe problem and was able to tell me exactly how much it was going to cost before starting the work. Not only did Friendly do a great job, he went the extra mile in terms of dealing with the inspector professionally, even though the guy was really pushy. I highly recommend Robert!

I called because my bathroom sink was clogged (with my girlfriend's hairballs maybe) and got the heads-up from the girl on the phone who told me that I might get a BETTER DEAL contacting a rooter company who employs drain cleaners, instead of plumbers. Makes sense.  I am planning to remodel my half bath, so I'll update Rate It All on how they do on that. HA!!!

The plumber who went to my house actually had a smile on his face and was friendly! Moreover, the caliber of the plumber they sent was right-on. He recommended to replace a small section of pipe at my house, instead of ripping out ALL the pipes which another plumber who came before him recommended. This company is great, you can't go wrong with these people.
