Best Same Day Repair in Philadelphia PA

First off let me say that I never write bad reviews unless truly deserving. As a matter of fact, this is the first one I've every written, however, I thought that this was obscene enough to warrant my time and yours.I am in the process of replacing the deck boards on my deck and while they are taken off and there is easy access to the PVC pipes leading to my outside faucet (which never worked), I figured this is the right time to address it. I immediately could see a break in the PVC piping. I've never done any plumbing before so I started making some phone calls to the local plumbers. I started with Precision Plus Plumbing. I left a message and they immediately called me back saying someone could come out the same day and also do the work. Great, I thought. So I waited for the plumber to get to my house. He arrived on time and was a nice guy. So far, so good. So I showed him the issue and he said, yes you need 2 end caps put on the broken PVC piping. I said OK, how much will that cost. he said $146 for each end cap. You know the little plastic end pieces that cost about 50 cents. I said, WOW that is a lot and he said I don't want to pressure you. You seem like a handy guy, you could probably do it yourself. I wanted it done quickly so I said, just do it so I could continue with my project. So he put the 2 end caps on in 5 minutes! I turned the water on from the inside shutoff and we realized that there were several additional breaks in the PVC piping. He said, let me get you a price for replacing the 15 feet of 1/2 inch PVC piping. He came back with $750!!!! I said, excuse me, did you say $750? He said yes. It's not as easy as you may thing to replace. I said I own my own painting company and that is like 2 days of labor for my company so unless this 15 feet of PVC pipe is going to take a day and a half, forget about doing the job. He said OK, do you want me to take the 2 end caps back off and you can do everything yourself? I said yes!!! Oh, I forgot to mention that there is a $59 fee for them to just come out to the house even if they don't do the project!!So I said to myself, how hard can it be so I setup to the local home depot and bought $50 worth of parts (probably $15 more than what I should have but I bought extra in case I made a mistake). I cam back to the house and within 1 hour had everything replaced. I waited 2 hours and turned the water on from the inside shutoff and shazam, it works.Now it took me, someone who has never done a day of plumbing in his life, $50 and 1 hour of time and this company was going to charge me $750, Plus the end caps that I didn't need anyway.Now I know why they charge the $59 fee. They get to the house and pressure people into doing it, thinking, well I've already spent the $59 and that will go toward the repair. The company then charges a ridiculous rate, hoping to get suckers to say yes and if they say no, at least they made $59 for 5 minutes of being there.Crazy, crazy, crazy!!! Well I will thank Precision Plus Plumbing for allowing me to be so mad that I actually learned how to do some plumbing on my own.

On time, quick and quality work from Jim and Jimmy. ??

I’ve used this company two separate times. They were always professional and knowledgeable. Also patient and informative when I asked questions. Not to mention I received estimates from other companies and they were much higher. One company didn’t even show up! The plumber from Quality showed up at the time he scheduled and didn’t waste any time getting to work. I will definitely be using them again.

I’ve use this company in the past. I always call them when I need Freon replacement. They’re pretty reliable and good, however I had an emergency and I had no heating. I needed someone to come out on a Sunday. The only day available with the following day Monday. Now ordinarily this wouldn’t be an issue but tonight is going to be 25°. I can’t suffer. That is why I gave them three stars. They are a good company now but if you need someone to come out for an emergency you might not be able to rely on them.
