Awesome staff with freindly helpful technicians highly recomended for all youre plumbing needs

The plumber arrived at the end of the time window I was quoted. It took 2 hours to repair a short piece of copper pipe and install a new hose bib. Everything seems to work. However, he sent me to the hardware store to purchase a new hose bib as he did not have the part.

Now the surprise - $480 for a little less than 2 hours work. This didn't involve a lot of parts, digging, or anything else. I had a hose bib I could not remove and a bent copper pipe behind it. The pipe was outside the house. $480 just seems WAY out of line - that comes to $240/hour!

I don't understand this company's good rating. I admit, I was in a hurry and didn't shop around. I will not use them again and would recommend that other's go elsewhere, as well!

The level of honesty, integrity and straightforwardness is incomparable, especially in today's crazy world. I'll definitely be calling them when the next plumbing issue comes around.

We had to have our home re-piped due to some leaks. Phillip was helpful in explaining the issues when he arrived to assess the situation. Ricky and Jose worked really hard to ensure the repairs were made effectively and promptly. They cleaned up after themselves and were extremely professional. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. They did a fantastic job.

Easy, honest and fast

Very knowledgeable and willing to help over the phone. Great customer service.

tl;dr: The Honest Plumber turned two simple repairs into a 40+ day adventure. They rescheduled multiple appointments, botched a repair without realizing it, and almost cost us thousands of dollars after repeatedly misdiagnosing their bad repair.

The company was assigned through American Home Shield to fix a constantly dripping showerhead + a leaky shower hose attachment. It took 4 days for the first appointment. When the tech arrived, the shower had briefly stopped dripping. The tech said they would order parts for the hose but needed proof of the showerhead leak. We were 4 days in.

I called the tech the next day and was told to send a video of the leaky showerhead. I sent it. No response. When I followed up with the office 4 days later, they had me resend the video and we setup an appointment for a fix. On appointment day, they forgot to put our part on their truck and rescheduled. We were 15 days in.

At the appointment, the tech fixed our hose, but said they needed to order a cartridge for our shower controls to fix the dripping. It only took about 30 seconds to determine we needed a new cartridge - it could have been done remotely. It took a week to get the cartridge, but finally someone installed it. We were 22 days in.

When we took a shower the next day, the shower began **leaking through the ceiling** of the room below it. This started right after the cartridge repair, so asking the plumbing company to check their repair seemed to make sense. It took 4 days for someone to come out. We were 26 days in.

We explained previous repairs to the tech who came out, but they said it was our drain leaking instead. They ordered a new drain gasket. It took about a week to arrive, but they said only 1 of 2 parts showed up and we had to wait longer. We were 33 days in.

The tech fixed the drain and we ran the shower again. Still dripping through the ceiling. We were 40 days in.

A senior tech came out the next day and said the drain gasket had been installed poorly. They fixed it. We were 41 days in.

We ran the shower again and it still dripped through the ceiling. The plumbing company said it was now definitely the shower pan, and estimated $4500 to fix the shower [outside of warranty].

Instead, we got a second opinion through an outside plumbing company. They opened up the shower controls and determined the cartridge installation was botched. The new company ordered a new part on Amazon and fixed it two days later.

The Honest Plumber had nice people and I appreciate all of the visits, but given our experience, I cannot recommend their services.

The service person was very professional and knowledgeable about the problem. He was also very pleasant and polite. I would definitely use this company again

This is a plumber you can count on. They know their stuff. Once again we had to call upon them and they were done quickly and efficiently.

Ryan (Advanced Plumbing Tech) provided excellent service from the start. He arrived in time. Job invoice description was pretty straight forward. All labor and parts cost was calculated by their own software which eliminated the need for the tech to come up with their own price assessment. The service was completed in a timely manner and work was cleaned up after. I highly recommend this company.

I recently replaced my water heater from Can Do Crew plumbing, formerly known as On Time Pro. The initial plumber, Marco, installed the new water heater. He was professional and seemed to do good job. There was no problem or complaint with him. Definitely, the second plumber, Jason, who came was very unprofessional, lack in knowledge of plumbing, not responsive to the customer’s needs, not listening to what customer has to say.

I had to re-contact the company a few days later, after the installation of the new water heater, due to the problem with humming sound, moisture built up on the mirror, as well as being foggy, in the bathroom, without taking a bath or a shower, around 4:30 am. This triggered my suspicion that the new water heater or possible problematic installation might have caused the problem. Initially, this was discussed with the owner and he wasn’t eager to look into the problem from the water heater or the installation but eventually he agreed to send out someone. Jason came and immediately said that there was no problem detected with the water heater or the way being installed. He was very defensive as he was trying to defend his worker or the company. He insisted that the fog or moisture on the mirror was normal. He couldn’t tell what was causing the humming sound, moisture or fog, as he just only focused on defending his worker or the company. He refused to listen to the video or tried to understand. Then, he got frustrated. He refused to find the cause of the issues or give estimate on the problem that he believed. As he said to me to get a second opinion from someone else. When I asked to look into the problem and give me the estimate, since he was there, he basically refused as he excused that he had to leave for another job. I tried to hold of the owner after the contact with Jason and the owner refused to talk to me.

They charged me $1750 for the installation of the new heater. supposedly there is a warranty for 3 years for the labor and 6 years for the water heater. But a few days later their attitude immediately changed. They let me sit on this unknown problem with great anxiety and worries as I just had to deal with the leak and the flooding. Because of the initial impression from Marco, I thought I might consider to switch to Can Do Crew, from my regular plumbing company, because my regular plumbing company is so busy. This thought got immediately changed after the second contact with the company owner and Jason. A plumber from my regular plumbing company immediately identified the problem as soon as he saw the video and checked the bathtub faucet and fixed it. Jason couldn’t even tell what was the problem, supposedly with so many years of experience.
