Michael J.Daniel just finished replacing the line from the meter to my house. Highly professional quality service at a great price! Funky Plumbing will be our go to for all future plumbing needs!!
Laurence B.Fast response, excellent and fast work at a fair price. He took care of underground pipe break (caused by gas co) in two hours. Highly recommended.
Jeremiah M.Only good thing can say is they showed up.
Came out and fixed two minor leaks with some plumbing putty ... didn't replace any thing. And main problem was clogged pipe, told owner on phone done used a snake on it....... what he do , send worker and snakes it and says couldn't unstop it. says needs to run camera on another visit . After $400 don't do anything about the stoppage! wasted our time and money. No way going to pay him another 600 to come do what should of done to start with .
Never use this company ever they are rip off.
L'Tryce S.This business is dishonest and lacks integrity. They will charge you money even when they never showed up. Funky Plumbing reported that the came to my house and I canceled while they were in the drive way, which is not true. I cancelled the appointment before the scheduled time of the appointment. What really makes me upset is they said, ""let us know if you need us,"" when I cancelled. I was home when I cancelled and there was no one from
their company in my driveway when I called. This company charged my home warranty company for a valve who in return charged me. I never received the valve or a service visit from Funky Plumbing.
Jessica H.These guys came out to install a hot water heater and did an amazing job. After they left, I notice that the main water valve had started dripping. I called, even though it was after hours and the owner came out and fixed it. He did this at 9:30 PM, in the cold! I was super grateful that he came out and fixed it right away. And God Bless his wife fo coming out in the cold with him!!
Debra M.We needed a plumber for a small leak on the main line in our crawl space. My husband called them and was promised someone to come out from 4-8. Someone did come out about 7pm, but it was raining so we were told he didn't have the parts and he had hurt his shoulder on previous job, he might not come back tomorrow, but someone would come out to fix it. We didn't have much choice, so we waited for him or someone else to come the next morning. the same person came at 9:15 the next morning. He fixed the small leak and lit the hot water heater and it only took 45min., and then we received the invoice. $525.00. WAY OVER PRICED. Find someone more reasonably priced. If I had known they had set prices for things being done, I would have said don't come back. That price is ridiculous for the work done.
