So let's start with the positive notes first. The plumbers at Bayshore Plumbing are very…read moreknowledgeable, friendly and professional. I have used them for various projects at my home over the last year or so and everyone that has came to my house has been wonderful. It's easy to reach customer service and if they are on another call I have always received a promptly returned phone call. Not only have I been able to get a plumber to my house the next day for serious issues, but they always give me an appointment time in a two hour window. If you have ever waited all afternoon for a repairman you realize how nice it is to not wait all day for the repairman to show up! Not only do they give a short time window, but they always confirm the appointments the day prior and call as the plumber is on the way. The promptness and skill of Bayshore Plumbing is amazing, but here is where the company isn't so amazing... their pricing. Bayshore Plumbing is incredibly expensive. They charge $225 for the first hour and after the first hour they charge $112.50 for every additional half hour. I don't have an issue with this pricing plan for large projects, but this pricing plan makes me hesitate to call the company for smaller projects. I get it... gas prices are expensive and the time spent commuting to my house could be spent on another customer, but when they didn't have a replacement part for my water softener I had to pay $225 for the plumber to make a second trip to my house for 5 minutes of work. I ended up having the plumber check all the pipes in my house for leaks or clogs just so I could justify paying over $200 for a five minute project, but at the end of the day I was annoyed that I had to pay for an unnecessary visit just because they had to order a part. In my opinion they were completing the original project that they had not finished and so I felt that they should have only charged me for half an hour instead of a full hour. I don't mind paying a premium price as long as I am receiving a premium service. Recently we went on vacation and had a leaky toilet. I suspected that the gasket needed replaced and this would be a quick fix. I didn't want to pay $225 for such a quick project so instead I asked if they could first descale our water heater. Descaling a water heater is usually a one hour project, but I figured I would rather pay $335 for two projects instead $225 for one tiny project. Customer service gave me a hard time about booking two projects and argued that the toilet might not be an easy fix and she would normally book these projects on two separate visits. I understood her concern, but there is no way that I was going to pay $225 for a potentially small project. I finally convinced her to book both projects together, but she told me she was making an exception for me and this is not how they make appointments. Going forward I need to find a new plumber for small home plumbing projects, but I would continue using Bayshore Plumbing for major plumbing repairs.

Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with Bayshore Pumbing. I was charged $520 for an…read moreinexperienced Plumbr to change out a filter on one stidor vent, make a minor adjustment to a toilet and tell me I had a faulty mixing valve. Since he didn't have the part on his truck, he offered to come back with it for the initial charge of $245 an hr + parts. He also wanted to descale my water heater for another $250. I was aghast at how little was done for a $520 charge. Felt so taken advantage of!

A big thank you to Robert of All Purpose Plumbing. Robert…read more is exceptionally skilled, reliable and friendly. Our 26 year old plus garden tub was beginning to have a faucet leak. Changing the hot and cold values (stems) was not an easy fix, actually impossible. The unit was so old it was rusted out internally. Robert did a wonderful job in replacing and welding the new faucet unit which required quite a bit of effort and skill... We would differently give All Purpose Plumbing (5) stars. Not to leave out Laura at the office who coordinated the scheduling and was very pleasant and helpful on the phone. Sincerely, Bob and Lorraine P.S. So sorry to see All Purpose Plumbing temporarily closed.

It needed replacement because valve bracket was broken. He estimated around $350 and had to go get the parts. Before he left he fixed leaky sink #1. Rob came back less than an hour later and replaced the washer box. He then fixed leaky sink #2 and #3. Total was $600, washer box came out to a little more. Was definitely worth the work. Only complaint, I didn't know I would need to find someone else to replace drywall that was removed for new washer box. They gave me a referral, though. Highly recommend this company. They are very professional and responsive. Would definitely use again.

Julio with Schleman plumbing has been my go-to plumber for a few years now. He came highly…read morerecommended from my HOA president, unbeknownst to me they had so few Yelp stars! The bad reviews are quite surprising. Julio is a consummate professional with a vast knowledge of all things plumbing. My common issue is the kitchen sink, which typically needs attention once per year. Otherwise, odd jobs like fixing a toilet and replacing the PVC pipe to the outside water line. Both of which were completed timely and with perfection. I've heard plumbing can be super expensive and so far I can't complain about the bills. Emergencies are always pricier, so if you can wait for an appointment I would recommend it. Nothing but pleasant experiences overall.
