We hired Lloyd to redo our shower system, replace three water shut-off valves, and fix a broken toilet flange as part of a bathroom remodel. Out of all the jobs that he was hired to do, none were done correctly. First, the shower system and the shut-off valves were installed using Sharkbite push-to-connect fittings which are typically a DIY solution and are far less reliable compared to the standard methods for installing on CPVC and Pex piping. We know from talking to other plumbers that Sharkbite is not what professional plumbers would use in this setting. Second, he claimed that the broken toilet flange could only be replaced by cutting open the ceiling below, which i did not want to do. He ended up installing a $5 spanner flange on top of the broken flange (see pic). Again, this is something a DIY-er could easily do. We asked another plumber afterwards and he told us that the toilet flange could have been replaced without having to open the ceiling below. Lloyd charged us $700 for the parts and labor on this job. We communicated our concerns to Lloyd over email after finding out about the subpar work, but unfortunately we never got any response. We had to pay again to have the work re-done by a professional to ensure our peace of mind that the job was done correctly. I hope this review is useful to anyone who is looking to purchase his services. read more

Tuesday evening I found myself in need of a new hot water heater and being a relatively new home owner, I had no idea where to start, so I turned to Yelp. I was very surprised to have such a quick response from Lloyd, the owner as it was well outside normal business hours. I think our last correspondence through Yelp was well into the nine o'clock hour. We spoke on the phone first thing Wednesday morning. He was very easy to talk to and patient in answering my questions. I never felt pressured by him. I found his quote to be fair and reasonable. His price was MUCH better than the quote I received from Lowes! I was glad to hear that he was able to schedule the installation of the new unit quickly. He said that he would arrive between 8:00-9:00 this morning and expect the work to be about 2 hours. He was very efficient and personable. I will certainly keep Lloyd in mind for any future jobs! Thank you! read more

Lloyd has completed several tasks for us. Replaced a pot filler, fixed two doorbells, repaired a noisy toilet, reviewed washer issue and then installed new washer with pan and drainage pipe. He also replaced a garbage disposal for us. He was very responsive, easy to work with and did a great job. Highly recommend for plumbing and miscellaneous maintenance work. read more

Lloyd from MMC has been a lifesaver in our new rental home in Raleigh! His first visit was to uncap an existing gas line for the dryer, which he did quickly and efficiently. His second visit was to repair a shower, and after nearly a month of back-and-forth with our landlords' handymen/reps, the moment they agreed to contract out to MMC I knew the job would finally get done. Sure enough, Lloyd immediately scheduled a time with us, arrived promptly with all the required supplies, and finished the job in record time! We will now be calling him directly for any small repairs needed around the house. Save yourself the headache of a risky DIY and go with MMC! read more

Lloyd came out at a set time, on time. (Never seen that with a plumbing service before.) He truthfully informed me that he could fix my leaky faucet and that it didn't need to be replaced. Another company had told me it needed replacing because parts would be difficult to find, and then tried to sell me faucets for $300 or $600! Faucet was fixed really quickly. Thanks! :) read more

Lloyd is awesome. Very knowledgeable and responsive. We remodeled our bathroom and has was able to put in the new fixtures as well as make it look like it had always been this way. I highly recommend. read more

I had a gas leak on my range top after business hours. I called several companies, including so-called 24 hour/emergency numbers, but Lloyd was the only one to call me right back. He gave me specific instructions over the phone explaining the parts that I needed and how to fix the problem myself. Lloyd saved me a lot of money and frustration. I also hired him to reconnect a couple of sinks after getting my kitchen counter tops replaced (counter top people will disconnect your old sink but they won't reconnect them). Lloyd was quick and reasonable with his price. Also a super friendly guy and he arrived on time. You can't go wrong with Lloyd! read more

I was scheduled with Lloyd of Maintenance Men on Call for him to come replace a toilet. We texted back and forth a couple of times, and he was scheduled to come at 11:00 a.m. the next morning. He never showed up and never responded to any of my texts or calls. read more

Lloyd came out to check on a potential kitchen faucet repair need for my elderly tenants. Not only did he determine there was no need for repair, he spent the time to speak with my tenants about how the faucet works, ensured they were comfortable the faucet worked to their satisfaction and listened to any additional "concerns" they had. He called me after his visit was complete, explained what was going on and was incredibly gracious and patient to both my tenants and me, at no charge for the visit. It's hard to find honest and caring people who do great work. You should call Lloyd!! read more

Lloyd came early and did quality work. I am impressed and thankful to know a trust worthy repair person. Nice guy and fair prices!! Will use him again read more

Lloyd is prompt, professional, friendly, and willing to help with all of your home maintenance needs. The quality of his work is excellent and exactly what we hoped for. He helped us replace all of our exterior light fixtures, install a ceiling fan, and repair a broken air vent. We couldn't ask for better service and will be calling him again for all of our future house maintenance needs! read more

Lloyd did a great job installing our porch lights and new faucet. He was very friendly and did the job well. I will definitely keep his number for future household fixes. We even hit a small snag with the faucet and he had the extra parts in his truck. Very happy with the quality of work we got for the price. Thanks Lloyd! read more

Expensive. Not upfront. Llyod came out in about 30 minutes and fixed but did not provide a quote when asked for. He charged me 240$ for a valve replacement that costed 20$. He was also rude because I tried to fix the valve myself. All I did was unscrew the faucet handle to see if something was threaded wrong. read more

Rip off specialist, to fix 2 toilets they wanted to charge me $225.00 for one bathroom the other bathroom, was an additional $250.00. $475.00 their quote. It took my husband and brother-in-law 20 minutes to fix both jobs and a trip to Lowe's at a cost of $35.00. Do not use these people. read more

We had a stopped up sink at our business and we started by calling the "big guys".." they who shall not be named" and they showed up 2 hours after they promised they would be there. Quoted us over $400 to fix/clear it. We had already tried a number of things, so I used Yelp and looked for someone with a lot of stars. There is good reason Lloyd of Maintenance Men on Call has a lot of good reviews. He showed up early rather than late. Assessed what the problem was, said he would try and fix it but if he could not fix it easily it would cost a lot, and he'd have to recommend someone else who all they do is that type of problem. Well, he fixed the drain, and for less than half the cost of "they who shall not be named with expensive trucks and big building". Plus Lloyd is just a really nice guy. I'll definitely use him again, whether it is for the office or home. read more

Lloyd was at our home about one month ago. He was kind, respectful on time and most importantly fixed every problem we had from dripping faucets, to installing a new water valve and repairing our hot water heater from almost having to be replaced!! I am so thankful to have met Lloyd and HIGHLY recommend him for your home repair needs! Thanks again Lloyd! read more

Lloyd is amazing, very knowledgeable and professional. We'll definitely be booking his services again.

Called Maintenance men on call and got an immediate response. Give me an early morning appointment very next day. Mr. Lloyd showed up few minutes earlier. After he looked at the problem gave me the price upfront, he just worked very hard to get our problems solved. Some people said the price is high, but I didn't have to miss work or break a sweat and got all my problems took care of. So I say his service is worthy what I paid for! I am saving his number for life! read more

Awesome, quick and professional service. Very nice and the job was done quickly within hours of initial call. I would recommend them to anyone. They have been a life saver five stars!!! read more

So grateful that Lloyd was available to help us today. A pipe burst in our shed causing flooding and he replaced it for a very reasonable price - same day. He was also able to show me additional damage that needed repair that we didn't notice and explained why it needed repair. I'm so glad he caught that! Also, he was a kind, personable person and my dog liked him too. read more

I was looking for someone to install a gas line to our kitchen and I saw Yelp had a "request a quote" option. I've never used it before so I thought I would try it out. I messaged Maintenance Men on Call and another company. Both responded ASAP; however, the other company said they could only do quotes over the phone. No big deal, but they never called when they said they would. Lloyd, on the other hand, was quick to work around my schedule and showed up at my house on time (maybe even early). He gave me a very reasonable quote and we set up a time for it to be completed. When we smelled gas a few weeks later, Lloyd called me back immediately after I sent him a message and said he wanted to come check it out as soon as possible. I highly recommend his company and I have his number stored in my phone for future work! read more

Highly recommended. He was professional, polite, and friendly! Quickly diagnosed it and did great job fixing my main water valve. Fixed very quickly also. Will definitely be contacting him for any future needs! read more

Lloyd is the man! He's friendly, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. It's great to have a local guy able to take care of your service needs and not rip you off. He charges only for a service call and what ever parts needed, not by the hour. read more

Lloyd was fantastic! The first person to respond to my inquiry, same evening. Appt for the next day. Knew exactly what the problem must be with our HVAC. Found an obscure issue no one had found in 8 years (saw it for ourselves). Very fair price. Already going to have him back for a few other jobs! Great guy, great businessman, professional, great price. Can't do better. My only complaint ended up being that we asked if he could do several other tasks for us, which he said he could, but when we emailed we never heard back. read more

Lloyd was literally a life saver this past week. We are currently in a rental home and he brought out 2 portable air conditioning units on a Sunday to get us some relief while we waited on another HVAC vendor per the property management company. When the other vendor still couldn't fix the air conditioning unit after 5 days, Floyd and his crew came out in one evening and returned the very next morning and fixed everything. He has also been here before to fix plumbing issues. He couldn't be more professional and down right extremely polite. We are moving into our own home shortly and will continue using him for any maintenance issues that come up. Highly recommend! read more

I called Lloyd and he was at my house's door in 45 minutes as he told me. He fixed a leaking pipe. Very good and quick service unwise most of the others who require at least a day to set an appointment and unlike the 24/7 plumbers who either don't answer or answer your call and ask you to call when the business is open at 8 am! read more

I appreciate the work and advice that Lloyd provided us over the last two trips. We have used other AC companies before and have not had the top level service he provided. Even though all AC companies are slammed right now, he was here the next day - both times. He worked on our AC and within 3 hours - our home was so cool again. Lloyd consistently communicated well with us by text and when here. He answered any questions and would text back within 20 minutes or less. We wanted someone local that we could depend on being timely, not overcharging, trying to sell "extras", and giving us clear explanations. Lloyd met these expectations and more. He's personable, knowledgeable and a top value. I appreciate he took the time to explain what he was doing and why - an added bonus not provided by many others. We had 2nd issue with AC we did not know about before and toilet problem. We thought both were going to cost a bundle. He was able to fix quickly, at a good price, and gave recommendations on how the problems could be avoided. Found Lloyd to be very professional, practical, and great value as well as person with high integrity. We look forward to having him on a consistent basis for years to come. read more

I called Lloyd today for a kitchen pipe leak, after American Home Shield told me they couldn't get anyone out to the home for 4 days. Well, our tenants couldn't go without running water in the kitchen for that long. I found MMOC through Yelp, called Lloyd and he went to the house right away. He diagnosed the problem, informed me of the repair cost, and kept me in the loop the whole time. I highly recommend MMOC. Very professional, and Lloyd seemed like the kind of guy you want to BBQ with. Thanks Lloyd! :-) read more

Great service! We came home to our AC not functioning and I reviewed Yelp to make a list of HVAC companies we could call first thing in the morning because it was already 78 degrees upstairs and climbing. I accidentally dialed Lloyd's number instead of clicking on his website and quickly hung up since it was around 9:40pm. Lloyd then called me right back and after I explained the hang up he said it was completely fine as he gets calls at all hours since emergencies don't just happen during the day. I was floored by how kind and courteous he was and how much he seemed to care about his work. He said he could come the next day by 1pm and that he would call and come earlier if his other appointments ended early. So I was pleased when he called to see if arriving at 11:30am was ok. He fixed our problem in less than 20 minutes for a perfectly reasonable amount (I was so relieved!). He also explained it thoroughly and was a pleasure to chat with. I highly recommend this company and will be using them again for any needs that arise. read more

I'm new to the area and a first time homeowner. When I first moved into my townhome in Cary I called Lloyd to fix a couple of plumbing leaks. He was able to replace the leaky parts quickly and for a good price. When I noticed my air conditioner wasn't turning on I called Lloyd to come take a look. It didn't take him long to figure out that I had made a mistake when wiring my new thermostat. Most recently I had him put up a ceiling fan and install a switch to control it from the wall. I'm sure I'll have Lloyd over here again soon to work on more stuff. Not only does he do great work but he's genuinely a good guy and very honest and trustworthy. He is also very fun and easy to have a conversation with. I look forward to his visits even though it usually means something is broken. read more

Excellent service, fast and at a great price. We had some work done in our kitchen sink. Definitely will use them again.

Same day service to get my leaking garbage disposal checked out. Came in to investigate and found the motor had burnt out. He had one in his van and replaced it on the spot! Lloyd is super friendly and easy to work with. Very happy with the outcome and will use him again in the future! read more

Lloyd rocks! I recently moved in to a rental house. Shortly after moving in my toilets, tub and shower flooded with dirty water which ran onto the partially carpeted floor in the master bathroom.......GROSS! I called the emergency maintenance line and Lloyd was at my place within an hour. After trying to find the problem in the house he went outside (on a very windy and chilly evening) and dug up a pipe in my yard. That poor guy was in the mud, in the dark and using the headlights of his van to dig. He found the problem ( a previously busted pipe that someone else at some point did a horrible "repair" job). After being at my house for almost 5 hours he told me he would wait for AAA to come jump his van since the battery died from using the headlights for so long. I offered to have him wait in the house or get some water but he insisted on waiting in his van. The next morning he called ME to make sure I was ok. How nice is that!? He also put the call in to the carpet guy to come clean up the water soaked area. Lloyd was able to come back just a couple of days later to replace the pipe and fill in the hole in the yard. Thank you Lloyd! You are the best! read more

I had a good experience with Lloyd from Maintenance Men on Call. He helped replace an indoor ceiling fan and replace an outdoor ceiling fan with a motion security light. He was on time and considerate with the clean up. Price was also good. I would call MMC again when I need a handyman. read more

We had Maintenance Men on Call come by for two different plumbing repairs. We needed an expansion tank replaced on our hot water heater and had a leak under our kitchen sink that needed fixing-a part had to be replaced. Both were replaced and the repairs were quick but thorough. We are moving soon and will definitely call them again for any future plumbing or other repairs we may need help with! I would highly recommend them. Great service and very reasonable pricing! read more

Lloyd just blew me away! Super nice guy, knows what he is doing, and genuinely likes to help people save money. He fixed my broken toilet really fast! I will definitely call him again and you should call him too! You will be glad that you did. read more

Lloyd is the man! Genuine, honest, hardworking, professional, friendly! Every step of the way Lloyd was on top of it. From the response to my initial message to getting us a quote to being flexible with our schedules to the plumbing work. We recently had new countertops installed that came with a new sink. We had to move from a 2 drain sink to a 1 drain sink and needed to reconnect the plumbing as well which is why we contacted Lloyd. Our experience with the installation company (unaffiliated third party) was sub par. Lloyd was the star that put the final touch on the project, making everything better. Lloyd saved the day by reconnecting the faucet, redoing the plumbing, and installing our new garbage disposal at the same time. I learned so much just by watching him work and he also explained what he was doing every step of the way. Look no further for your plumbing needs! I believe he does other work too such as HVAC and pressure washing. read more

Really good job.....they were able to fix what another HVAC company messed up. Also good price compared to others in the area and would highly recommend. read more

Have a rent house and live out of State so it is hard to find great people when something happens at the rent house. The air conditioner had gone out and the temps were very high. My tenant needed some air fast. Lloyd from MMOC came out and got them through the weekend while we worked out the negotiations on a new unit. I always get multiple quotes and even though Lloyd told me I was getting a good deal I needed to check. I am fairly competent when it come to these things and the deal looked good and was better than I thought. I saved at least $2,000 dollars. Big savings on top of great service. Got the unit ordered and in fast. Did not charge me for the service call and quick fix on the initial visit. Lloyd was great to work with. I would recommend them to everyone. read more

Called this company to fix my heater, that had suddenly stopped working, after seeing all the good reviews online. Lloyd was prompt. He arrived ahead of time. Very friendly guy. He found out in no time my ignitor was gone. He called the parts company to confirm the correct part was available and placed the order for me as they only accept orders from contractors. After hearing that I was an engineer, he then asked me if I was comfortable making that trip to that shop and replace it myself. He demonstrated to me how easy it was to replace it. He did NOT charge me for this visit. It felt like a friend had stopped by to help me out. He just made sure he will be my man for the next repair work coming my way. read more
