I immediately went to Yelp and saw Outer Banks Plumbing had a five star rating. I called and left a message. By the time I went into the other room to let my husband know what was going on Shawn was calling me back. By 11:30 I had a new hot water heater to replace my 20 year old hot water heater. He even looked at a couple of toilets we were having trouble with. The price was very reasonable. My guests were happy! I was happy! And I found a new go to plumber. Communication was great! He sent pictures of the old HW heater and pictures of the new HW heater. Very easy to work with!

Despite our being a new customer and their being "booked solid until a week from Friday," they had a plumber out that afternoon to fix the sink and another out first thing the next morning to locate and fix the leak. Both Mike and Kenny were great, and the bill was a pleasant surprise. But for their quick work, our week at the beach likely would have turned into a one-night stay.

Robert, the polite and respectful owner, said he would call back by noon if he couldn't get to it until tomorrow. He actually called back within about 10 minutes and said they could do it today and a service technician was on the way. The service technician, Chris, arrived within the hour. He was courteous, congenial, and thorough, plus he was efficient in solving and promptly repairing the problem. I highly recommend R. Blivens plumbing service... especially if you're in a "fix" (as the old saying goes.)

I'm a licensed female GC working on my own investment house, and I hired Mr. Groovy (Joe) for a…read morefull rough-in. Joe is one of the best plumbers I have ever worked with. He takes everything into consideration: anticipated drywall and cement board, subfloor leveling, fixture locations. If something isn't perfect, he'll work until it is- for his own satisfaction. He is a plumbing wizard, and a good guy to have on a job site. His competent wife handles things behind the scenes, and it's rare to have such frequent, friendly, and value-added communication. When I brought up the sales tax exemption for capital improvements (which is something few people know about), Kelly took it upon herself to call friends and the actual government to clarify the requirements and establish the proper paperwork. With other bids, I stated I would be providing the fixtures, but other bids came in offering their preferred fixtures plus sales tax. You'd think a one-man operation would slow things down, but what I experienced was a plumber who managed every aspect with a critical eye, versus relying on less experienced subs rushing through a job. I still don't know how he managed to perfectly set a 66" bathtub and a 90 lb slate shower base by himself, but Joe is a gentle giant who knows it all when it comes to plumbing. He works independently, and offered suggestions and tips I hadn't considered. He also listens to cool music and carried some heavy things for me after I twisted an ankle without blinking an eye (I'm not proud). Although plumbing isn't the sexiest job out there, once you see how much work he puts in, you'll understand that you're receiving platinum service for what is very reasonable pricing. I received nearly a dozen proposals for a comprehensive and annoying job, and Joe's was the one that included all the details of the work involved, while others focused on upselling fixtures and completely neglecting components of the job. As long as he'll work with me, I won't hire another plumber in OBX.

At present it is a 2nd home in the near future our home. We had a local plumber who is small, I called him but he couldn't help me as he was busy, he gave me another person, and when I called them they were rude as all get out and said he didn't deal with emergencies.. I called The Gentleman Plumber and spoke to, I hope I remember properly Sara. She was amazing. She had said somebody else had the same issue and it was probably a running toilet.... I asked for an emergency call but Sara couldn't promise they could get there that day however they did. They came to the house, and toilet was in fact running and they repaired it. we don't live there now but in the near future we are retiring in that house. I can't thank Sara and all who fixed something we were so worried about... She and they were tremendous! So if you are looking for a plumber and while the one we have is great, I will endorse them, I would use them, and I would rely on them in the future. Today professionalism and care mean a lot. I would encourage anybody who needs plumbing service to have them in your pocket........ They are and especially Sara should be a go to Mike and Loris McCoy Hamilton VA Soon to be from Kill Devil Hills
