I asked for a breakdown for a standard invoice showing parts versus labor and was told they will not provide one. This is a 20 minute DIY job.

If asked by other community homeowners I will not recommend Absolute Plumbing.

They arrived fast and fixed the issue. Fast forward a month later, I decided to remove ALL the QUEST piping. (thoughts and prayers if this is still your situation) They took such attention to detail and were very careful when removing furniture, prepping the area and preserving the drywall cutouts. They let me know each day what they'd be doing and when they'd be on site. Very well mannered folks as well. I'll miss the crew when they're gone, but boy do I sure hope they never have to come back. :-). They're ABSOLUTELY the first call i'll make for anything plumbing related going forward.

Some of the contractors I had contacted had yet to reply 24 hours after my call or email. Those who did reply were vague as to the time to repair my problems. Shawn was upfront with all I asked of him. His show up plus first hour fees were higher than other quotes, but my instincts told me to choose Shawn. He arrived on time, went right to work, and wasted not his or my time! He answered all my questions as he worked. I was very pleased and will recommend anyone reading this to work with Shawn!

Heat Pump Service Issue and Billing Concern…read more Background In September 2024, I purchased two new heat pumps from R.A. Hoy. Since I am retired and spend most of my time at home, I do not need to adjust the temperature frequently. Specifically, the unit in question serves the upstairs area, which I rarely visit during the day. Discovery of the Issue In February 2026, I received a service message on my thermostat for the upstairs unit. Upon checking the unit through my app, I discovered that it had been running continuously, 24 hours a day, since mid-November 2025 up until the present date in February 2026. Service Call and Diagnosis I contacted R.A. Hoy for service. The technician identified that the unit was only producing 70-degree air and was one pound low on refrigerant. I also have 2 inspections each year that were reported as good. Electric Bill Concerns Because my electric bill is automatically paid from my bank account and has remained consistent for over 10 years, I had not been monitoring it closely. However, after realizing the heat pump had been running non-stop, I reviewed my bills and noticed an increase of over $100 per month starting from when the unit failed in November 2025. My electric bill is normally lower in the winter as my gas furnace heat my home when temperature is 40 degrees or lower. Concerns Regarding the Repair and Warranty I received a bill from R.A. Hoy for the refrigerant. I believe that, since the leak appears to be a result of the initial installation, I should not be responsible for this charge. Additionally, if this leak is not properly addressed, it is likely to recur annually. However, I was informed that because the issue arose more than a year after installation, it is not covered under the warranty.

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.
