I had my 17 year old water heater replaced on short notice. Ron came out and removed the old water heater from the attic and took it down many stairs (it was very heavy from years of sediment). When he installed the new water heater he did an excellent job. He was professional, tidy, and respectful of property. And it was no small job. Thanks guys!

I called to set up an appointment to have someone troubleshoot a toilet that is constantly clogged and install a new shower/bath set that would require cutting into the wall since it was a different brand than what is currently installed. I was very clear about this latter ask, and the person on the phone even specified to me that they could install this but would not replace the drywall/plaster which I said was fine.
They put me on the schedule, with no specific time that day saying they would call 30 min before arriving. I got a call around 3 pm saying they would not be able to make it that day but we would be first the following morning. The next morning, they called me at 7:45 to say they would be there at 8. No one arrived until 8:45. When the plumber arrived, he first looked at my toilet with the clogging issues.
After fiddling with it he concluded that he had never seen a toilet like that and that it was not filling (which has never been an issue for us) and basically said there was nothing else he could do since the part he would normally replace was not removable - our only option was to replace the toilet entirely. I'm still unclear as to how that would resolve our clogging issues, but he also said it's probably our pipes and replacing them would be $10-20k.
So basically he got my bathroom all wet and left it that way, and someone got my toilet to stop filling. As far as the shower goes, I had all the parts and pieces needed but he said a job like that was not built into his schedule and he was told it was a simple screw on a new shower head job. So a total miscommunication on Earl's Plumbing's end and I would have to reschedule yet again.
Long story short - I'm done working with this company. Luckily they didn't charge me for not doing anything at my house but it was a total waste of my time and I won't be making this mistake again.

These guys were great. Called this morning after an extremely high water bill made me suspect a leak. Shelly was professional, responsive and managed to fit me in today. The guys that showed up (unfortunately I failed to ask their names) found the leak and didn't just repair it, they replaced the entire pipe. Took them a little over 2 hours Now it did cost me $1,800, BUT it was well worth it to be treated so considerately and to have my problem fixed immediately. Plus, they had to dig up the front yard, which I'm fine with. Will most certainly use these guys in the future.

I found the Company's information listed on Rheem's Website under "Service Providers", so I called to inquire about getting my hot water heater repaired. The woman I spoke with was beyond rude. She cut me off mid sentence to say, "Ummmm, We're NOT going to work on a hot water heater we didn't install." (Which is perfectly understandable. Her Abrasiveness was not.) I don't think I'll be seeking services here again.

Earl's i want to thank you for the fast response time. Ron is a great guy to meet and helped us out. We called on the Sat. before Labor Day our tub had a problem water wouldn't shut off. Ron called us back and came over to fix it for the time. We had to get a new faucet set because it was to old. On Friday we had Ron from Earl's plumbing come back to put in our new faucet set in. he got right on the job finished the job with no problems. it works great by the way thanks Ron i'm sure we will be calling Earl's again when we need you all!

The contact form on Earl's website allowed me to enter specifics about my water heater. When Jordan came out, he was prepared with everything he needed to replace the water heater! Didn't even have to run back to the shop for anything - and he had to change the vent pipe as well as the 18 stand. Very professional work, everything cleaned up after he was done, Jordan did a great job for us!

Have had to call for a plumber twice since buying a home a year ago. Both times, Earl's sent a plumber out within an hour. The first time, a sink wouldn't drain. They replaced the drainpipes and took the old disposal out at my request and were done within 2 hours. The second time, the 20 year old water heater started leaking rusty water. Less than 3 hours later, they installed a new one, drilled a new drainage line, installed a pan and hauled off the old unit. Both times, the quoted price was fair and didn't change when the work was done. To my layman's eyes, the quality of the plumbing looks great. Thanks guys.

Over the last 10 years I have called on Earls several times to service my home, my parents, and my rental property. Having performed everything from toilet repairs to under slab repairs they have not disappointed. I would not hesitate to endorse Earls plumbing. Being in the Electrical service business I have a true appreciation for the professionalism of their field and office personnel. Earl's is also reasonably priced and they "back up" (no pun intended) their work. These are the reasons I dial straight 8's when I need help!

I've been using Earl's for years. Their plumbers are courteous. They are upfront about the cost of the service before they start a job; there are no hidden costs. The job is always completed to specification and they cleanup any mess they make before they leave. They always leave me in awe as to their knowledge of what they are doing and the efficiency and speed with which they complete all plumbing related tasks. Earl's will always be my 'go to place' for all of my plumbing needs.

Earl's Plumbing has excellent customer service. The staff who work in the office are always helpful. A few years ago, we had to replace the pipes under our house. There was another plumbing company who attempted the work and did a shoddy job. We called Earl's for help and they fixed the other company's mistakes and completed the work. Earl's even helped us file the claim with our homeowner's insurance. I highly recommend Earl's plumbing to anyone who asks. Their staff are professional, courteous, and dependable.
