I had called this company at least five times to fix Toilet valves, Taps and tub valves. Yes, they…read morecame out and fast fixed the problem. They gave me bills of two to $300 each time. Each time it was a different plumber, older guys that looked like they were experienced and honest. Now I wonder about that. I had to call him twice for one toilet to come out the second time and twice for a shower to come out a second time to fix the leak They just fixed weeks earlier. I figured it was the luck of the draw all my stuff was leaking until I found out why. The valves were leaking because the pressure reducing valve leading into the house was blown and the was 120 psi pressure instead of the normal 50 to 65 psi pressure. Not one guy from Norm's checked the pressure of the water coming into the house, would've found out the pressure reducing valve was blown, causing all these leaks. Apparently, these valves should be tested every 3 to 5 years and replaced if they're leaking. I did not know this because I come from a part of the country that do not use pressure reducing valves. I Called ServiceXCEL once and they spotted the problem right off the bat and brought it to my attention

He brings years of German trained experience which is superior to what the average Canadian trained plumber brings to a job. Plus his work ethic and attitude towards work is way better than what I have experienced with other plumbers that I have hired (who think showing up warrants a minimum charge of $120.... before they walk in the door!). Plumbers are notorious for over charging and leaving a mess and cutting corners.... but not Island Pacific Plumbing- he did a great job, worked efficiently and cleaned up after himself. I am thrilled to have found a great plumber!! Thank you.

When Rona tried to install a toilet in our home, they realized that the flange was broken and the…read moreshutoff valve was stuck, and said that we needed more than an installer ... and explained we needed to call a plumber. We called Yellow Submarine and figured that we might as well ask them to install the toilet as well, since they were going to be here for the flange. After twenty minutes on tablet, the plumber provided us with a quote. The first number I saw was over $400 to simply install a toilet. Since we were replacing 2 of them, we were looking at over $850. Quote from Rona for both: $ 360. I told the plumber that I would get the toilet installed by someone else, and to simply quote me for the flange and shut off valve. Quote for the flange : OVER $600 !!! Quote for 2 shutoff valves : OVER $600 as well !!! More than $1,600 for replace a flange, 2 shut off valves and two toilet installs. UN-believable. I called Norm's plumbing, and it took them 45 minutes to replace the valves and the flange and they charged $ 240 !!! They would have had enough time left over to install the toilet within their one hour minimum, but I was too speechless to ask them to finish, and called Mr. Rona to finish the installs now that we had a new flange and tow new shutoff valves. I do not understand how Yellow Submarine can pray on people who simply do not know what a reasonable price should be. Shame on you, Yellow Submarine.

Replaced a very old heating fuel furnace that was at it's "end of life" with a new gas furnace…read more Received a quote from Angelo less than 3 hours from his visit. Becky at the office, answered a few questions and altered our order to include a programmable thermostat with no problems. Sent updated information, and confirmed the install twice, at time of order, and again the day before. Their friendly crew were on time, paid attention to details, kept me informed as the install was happening, answered all questions. They double and triple checked the install. Checked the registers. Insured the gas stove was operating fine before wrapping things up, as the gas was shut off to run a new gas line. Removed the fuel line, shut off the fuel from the old tank and capped it as well. Ran through the thermostat settings. Cleaned up everything and used drop cloths. Place heats quickly, fan is much quieter and can actually be set to lower speeds if desired. The programmable thermostat helps reduce heating costs. So far, I am quite pleased and toasty warm. If I don't update this review, the furnace if working fine. ;)
