She told me she'd check on the plumbers' availability and call me back, and true to her word, she called within minutes and got us an appointment that same afternoon. Justin arrived right on time and immediately made a great impression. He introduced himself, thoroughly inspected both the inside and outside of the house, and clearly explained what was causing the issue along with my options. He worked efficiently and had everything resolved in under an hour. The price he gave was fair, especially for the high level of quality service and quick turnaround. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. Justin's expertise, efficiency, and excellent customer service left me highly satisfied.

He was also quick to respond via phone and text throughout our communications. Justin worked directly with our tenant on scheduling so I didn't have to play middleman. He arrived on time, was very professional, and cleaned up after himself. Turned out we needed to replace the fill valve, and Justin was able to do it on the spot. Total charge was $245, which seemed a bit expensive, but I'm happy to pay for the convenience the company provided. I will 100% be using these guys in the future - hopefully, not too soon though. :)

The only phone call you need to make!!…read more Gave them a call around noon and Pat was out here by 2:30 on a very rainy day, when it's the busiest for them. I cannot even begin to explain what an angel Pat is. Within a few minutes he was able to assess the situation and provide a temporary fix with a referral that could come out the same day. He was even willing to lend us his sump pump until all the water from our French drain was pulled. Since we had borrowed one already, he helped us set that one up. On top of coming out to help, he was explaining everything along the way which is incredibly helpful for when we may run into the same issue in the future. We truly appreciated the fast service and honesty. We had called another local company to come out and they were trying to charge us $49 just to come look at it. Don't be fooled when you're in these desperate situations and call the people that actually want to help and inform you. We're all working really hard for our money and these guys have a lot of respect for that. I can't refer them enough and they'll always be our first call should we ever have any more permanent issues.

The owner of this plumbing service is a crook on multiple levels. They took $500 and in the end…read morefixed nothing and broke something and left our place in shambles. Our basement flooded and instead of trying to identify and resolve the real problem, they tried to scam us for thousands of dollars. Here's how the scheme goes. Pretending like they are trying to fix the real problem (which was actually a faulty pump) and instead created a nightmare situation in our house by removing the toilet and not returning it back in it's place, leaving the place an absolute mess, not resolving the flooding and further damaging the pump with a snake and saying we can't finish today, we need to come back tomorrow. They did this 3 times over 3 days and each time, they tried to convince us that the job would cost more money, claiming in the end that excavation would be necessary and it would cost $7k-$10k+. In the meantime, they kept us "hostage" with a disaster in our home. Then when we got a second opinion, we realized what was going on. When we asked them why didn't you even inspect the pump, they claimed "you said you didn't have a pump." A professional plumber would know that a pump is present somewhere in the home with a basement and not need to ask the homeowner. Now, they won't repair the completely ruined pump (which clearly shows damage from a snake), they won't refund us, nor pay for the further damage sustained to the pump and won't even return to put the toilet back in place. Please be aware that these guys do not have your best interests in mind. All we asked is that they refund us the $500 and put the toilet back on so that a reputable plumbing company can just fix the pump. The additional damage they caused to the pump with the snake is costing us over $1,000. What kind of business charges $500 to create further damage where the real issue is and claim the "real issue" is somewhere else that's going to cost more and try to keep repeating this scenario over and over to squeeze us for more money and not actually resolve anything.

I turned to Yelp -- and thankfully, it led me straight to the right person. Pat from AnyFix came out promptly and quickly diagnosed a short that had knocked out my parents' porch light -- something that could've been a real safety issue, especially since my dad has trouble seeing in the dark. Pat was not only knowledgeable and efficient, but also incredibly kind, honest, and professional. He explained what he was doing every step of the way, fixed the issue perfectly, and made sure everything was safe before leaving. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people, not just getting the job done. I'll definitely be keeping his number on speed dial for any future repairs. If you want someone who's dependable, personable, and knows their craft inside and out -- call Pat at AnyFix. You'll be glad you did.

I'm fortunate that they travel pretty far outside of their core radius. They are usually very prompt, professional, and quick to do the work. And I'm not calling them back because something went wrong.

We were putting our condo on the market, and previously were told that in order to fix a non-functioning shower we would have to open up the tiled wall. Because of the can of worms that opens up, we didn't want to do that and were planning on taking our chances with the real estate market. My sister-in-law referred us to J&A, and, since we didn't have anything to lose, we though we'd give them a call. I called on a weekday afternoon, and less than 24 hours after my initial call Jason was at our condo, had diagnosed the problem, and was working on the special order for the replacement parts. Due to the age and physical structure of the bathroom, it was a really tough job, but everything was like new when they were done, the work was done in a very timely manner, and they did the job without having to tear apart anything in the bathroom! I was really, really happy with the level and quality of service, and J&A are going to be my go-to for all my future plumbing needs.

Any negative reviewers are either psychotic or talking about other Brown Plumbing companies. It…read morecan't be this one. I have used this company numerous times over 15+ years and never received anything less than first class, highly professional service. They never lift a wrench without first going over the price, what's covered, the warranty, etc. and having you sign off on it. LJ Brown is not the cheapest but they are as professional as they come right down to their paper booties. They stand behind their work. Right now they are replacing my two-year-old grinder ejector pump for FREE. They made this ugly job a priority and came first thing. If it breaks during the next three years, they'll come back again. First thing. For free no less. Try beating that.

This review is really zero stars -- avoid LJ Brown at all costs. There are plenty of plumbers you…read moreshould hire. This isn't one of them. I hired a plumber to handle several small tasks in connection with a new condo purchase. The company refused to provide estimates, and on arrival quoted outrageous prices. $80 for a showerhead installation (with my part). $312 to clean a drain (I declined after seeing this price). I went ahead with the work figuring, at these prices, the plumber would get it right. Wrong. He destroyed a kitchen sink side sprayer before realizing my replacement wouldn't fit the water line (my fault for having the wrong part, but he is supposed to be the union plumber here -- and zero stars to the Home Depot associate who said the part was universal). He also destroyed the faucet cartridge attempting to reverse the direction of the hot/cold flow, claiming he could not reinstall the part and would have to use a new one. He then replaced from his parts on hand (for $212) without correcting the hot/cold water reversal. Since the side sprayer was now destroyed, the sink would have to remain off until I could get a new compatible part, which he offered to install when he returned -- for $300 or so. This coversation had the feel of a shakedown. Instead I found another plumber to replace and fix it -- for $40. But as it turned out the cartridge was installed incorrectly and leaked. So I just replaced the faucet with a better one. A fix to a water line was also botched, causing an existing leak to worsen. Another plumber has fixed it, correctly this time. The new showerhead is also leaking. In short, for $600, the plumber made everything worse than when he started. I wrote and called looking for satisfaction, calling back each time something broke that the plumber had just "fixed", and was roundly ignored. Interestingly, I did not get any response of any kind until the 30-day warrranty period had passed. I finally got some response when I asked for money back and threatened a BBB complaint. The response was, in short, "screw you". So I filed a BBB complaint. The owner of the business has resolutely refused to speak with his customer and learn the facts. He did reply to the BBB complaint with a raft of ad hominem attacks. You can see them below -- this is the mentality of LJ Brown. I will note that the BBB closed the case because I told them to. The point of the filing was to warn people about this awful business, not to collect money, There seem to be a few LJ Brown customers who have not encountered incompetence and indifference. I experienced both. But even if you were to get good service, LJ Brown will bill you much more than other plumbers (as I've since discovered). So the bottom line is, LJ Brown is overpriced and employs at least one roundly incompetent and most likely dishonest plumber. The owner of LJ Brown is happy to take the money and run. I consider it a $600 lesson in using Yelp BEFORE I select a service provider. Do not use LJ Brown. And feel free to let them know I said so.
