Kitchen sink and laundry faucet

contacted this company after researching reviews on HomeStars. Called in afternoon and got an appt for next morning. Jeff arrived in the window of time and I was texted when he was enroute. Very clean and respectful of home. I had done a DIY on the kitchen sink basket and he explained what I had wrong to cause leaking. He answered all my questions and explained what he was going to do and provided quote. I am very happy with the work and will keep this company in mind for any future plumbing issues.

Kitchen Faucet / Bathroom Taps: Prompt, Pleasant, Professional

Jeff arrived well within the scheduled window, and (to my delight) put on blue disposable shoe covers to protect my floors before walking into our kitchen to examine our main problem, a failing kitchen faucet. He listened to our observations and concerns, then gave his opinion on the problem, suggested options with faucets that he had found reliable.

Our 34-year-old bathroom sink taps dripped and were hard to turn. Jeff examined them, declared them worth keeping, and explained the work to clean and repair them--and the cost of all the work. My partner and I consulted and agreed to go ahead with both jobs. Jeff left briefly to collect the required parts stocked in his truck (no trip needed to buy or pick up anything). When he returned, he worked carefully, patiently answering my questions (about what he was doing and plumbing in general). His explanations were articulate and enlightening.

Jeff was respectful of our property, cleaning the workspace and moving items as needed. He was careful to ask us about any requirements for parts disposal in our condo building, and left a small, neatly packed box of old parts at our front door.

The kitchen faucet is the newest item in our kitchen, and is a joy to use. The bathroom taps are easy to turn, and sparkle even before I clean them. Thank you, Jeff, for your help.

Bathroom Issues

Jeff arrived within the appointment window and was extremely professional, competent and friendly. He explained his quote and provided us with options. He tried to complete the repairs with the lowest cost possible. He completed several repairs involving toilet and sink blockages and repaired a shower faucet cartridge. We would definitely recommend The Great Plumbing Company!

Plumbing repair

Jeff fixed the dripping bathtub faucet. Yay!
He also fixed the toilet that tended to keep flowing after I'd flushed it, unless I shook the handle. Double yay! And he generously threw that one in for free.
He managed to improve the vigour of the flushing, but it still needs more improvement. He advised me to soak the bowl again in CLR, so I'll try that.

He was exactly on time, gave me a clear quote in writing, had laminated sheets with the cost of various jobs so I knew he was being fair and transparent with his pricing, and he took payment in person as soon as the job was done. He dealt with everything in a single visit.

SO much better than my previous experiences with about 5 different plumbers. Thanks Jeff!

Leaky showerhead and hand held shower head

We had a leaky hand held showerhead, but just changing the cartridge was not enough. Jeff our plumber was able to find and fix our problem in a timely manner. I found that I was able to make an appointment them easily that suited my schedule. From start to finish, I found the job to be a high degree of professionalism.

Faucet fix

I thought I could DIY a faucet repair. That was a terrible idea. I ended up having to turn of the water to our house and wait for Jeff to arrive. He was quick, cost efficient and very kind. As a mom on maternity leave I felt very safe with Keff in the house. He identified the issue quickly and had the job done in the afternoon. Water back on by dinner! He actually found problems the builder had done installing the faucet. Works better than when it was brand new!

Tub and shower facet install

My issue was an old tub and shower facet that wouldn’t turn off the water completely so water was coming out of the spout. I phoned the Great Plumbing Company, because of their great reviews on this website and I’m glad I called them. Jeff came between the allotted time and he was very professional he gave me a quote which was to save the defective tub and shower facet. Jeff really tried to save the facet to save me money, but he couldn’t.
Anyway he gave me a new quote which was to supply
and install a new Moen temptroll tub and shower
single lever chrome faucet. Also it included drywall cutting to open the back wall in order to facilitate the faucet replacement. I’m very pleased with the overall job and would highly recommend this company to family and friends.
Thanks Jeff

Toilet solution

Our upstairs toilet wasn’t flushing consistently (50%). After calling a number of places that were either too expensive ($205/hr!!!) or unavailable at times that worked, Jeff arrived promptly at 3 on a Friday. At first I was unsure of the $60 fee for the visit alone (waived if choosing them to do the job). Jeff found it odd that a toilet under 5 years old would have this issue. He said most plumbers would just come and snake it, charge me and it wouldn’t do the trick. Or tell me I need a new toilet (which another plumber told me over the phone. However, Jeff thought it may be a calcium buildup & suggested I remove the water out of the bowl (cup & sponge) and dump half a large jug of CLR in the bowl, wait 20 mins and poke around in the holes in the bottom of the bowl and top of the rim where the small holes are. Also used a sturdy toilet brush and went at it. I could see bits of the hard calcium become loose and floating around then gave it a flush and repeated the treatment. It has been a week and the toilet hasn’t missed 1 flush yet. Thank you Jeff for your honesty and looking at all of the options and suggesting this cost-effective method. Wasn’t how I planned my Friday night but was pleased with the results. Will definitely call The Great Plumbing Co for any future jobs/issues. Thanks again Jeff! A+
