Hired on Thumbtack

I hired R & L Plumbing to fix my water heater. It turned out that it had to be replaced because it was leaking (it was pretty old). They were on-time, friendly, professional and accomplished the job quickly. I would highly recommend them. Thanks to the team!

I was very, very grateful they came out for a same day appointment for a shower valve replacement. Water was running non stop all of a sudden, and the faucet would not turn off. Larry was very helpful in guiding me through whether a building water shutoff was needed and how to find out the kind of part needed.Carmen was helpful in explaining how billing would work and when I had questions about the tech tracker status and tech arrival. Mario was extremely skilled as he was able to remove the escutcheon that was stubbornly rusted to the wall. He accomplished the replacement in under an hour which minimized the negative impact of the duration of water shutoff and hot water unavailability for 100+ units in my complex. He also explained the testing done afterwards. Thank you!!!

They were great. Got me on the schedule very fast. Showed up on time- no waiting around. Dave, the technician, solved the problem with the low water flow with the shower. Fast work. Thank you!!

We called R&L Plumbing around 9pm after waiting for a different company to send a plumber for 5 hours (they kept telling us they were on it and would send someone "soon"). We were dealing with water pouring out of a pipe every time our neighbors did laundry and needed someone to come on the day.The person who answered the phone at R&L (I think her name was Cynthia) was very helpful and a clear communicator. She kept me posted as she contacted the owner, Larry, and located a plumber who can come within the hour. The plumber who came (Michael) was also a great communicator, and he asked questions to understand the problem we were dealing with, arrived earlier than originally scheduled, and fixed the issue within 30 minutes. He even followed up after he left to make sure the issue was truly fixed and gave us tips on how to ensure the laundry space isn't damaged following the water leak. Going forward, R&L will be the first plumbers we call!

Pete, the plumber, diagnosed my problem right away. He repaired the leak, double checked that it didnt leak anymore and cleaned up the area afterwards. This is the second time Ive used R& L plumbing with satisfaction.
