Able Plumbing & Electrical

5 star service from Bryan A. of Able Plumbing. Bryan demonstrated a superb level of knowledge with the issues that our water heater was having, and made various recommendations that saved us from a myriad of hassles and higher costs.

Excellent customer service. Bryan A was very polite, helpful, and answered all of my questions.

Plumber, Dale O., was very polite and explained everything that he was going to do and why. Gave me more than one option since I had several things that needed repair. Over all the cost was about what I expected and, even though I had hoped for lower, I was happy with the fee. I've had cheaper plumbers do work on my house and it is very much a case of you get what you pay for. Frankly, I don't intend to ever call another plumbing or electrical repair company. These people are simply good.

They have a great website,,,,24 hours a day, 7 days a week. True 24/7 someone will answer the phone and schedule you a $49 visit to quote you an estimate. Today it was four days until they could dispatch some one. If you can't provide the service, then don't claim you can.

No one wants plumbing problems, but when the unexpected happens help from Able Plumbing and Electrical soon resolves the problem, successfully, quickly, and at a competitive price. Bryon B. has provided great customer service, diligent attention to cleanliness, and his technical skills (as a plumber) resolved our plumbing problems. I strongly recommend this company!

Our shower was not draining, and was actually dripping from the pipes into our basement. Bryan A came out to look at the issue and told me a punch of the pipes would need to be replaced, but that it wouldn't be possible to do it that afternoon (it was Monday at around 4:00pm) and the best thing would be to wait until Wednesday morning so he and another guy could come out, he explained the other guy was the best at this type of job. He gave me an estimate, and then explained that he would like to try to clear up the not draining issue to at least make it so we could use the shower for a couple days. He did that, at no extra charge since the estimate for the rest of the job was $601. Well today is Wednesday and the two gentlemen just left. They hit the estimate right on the dot, which I have hardly ever seen, the two guys (Brian A and Michael B) were friendly, professional, and a pleasure to have in my home. I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends and family. In addition to all that, they were also in and out of here well within the time frame the gave me. Next time I need any plumbing done, I am definitely calling Able and asking for Bryan or Michael!

Beware, they're way too overpriced!

I'm in my sixties and have done business with a lot of business with service/contractors. In fact, many of my relatives are contractors, but, unfortunately they aren't in my area. These guys were a new experience for me.

I had a fluorescent light fixture quit because I broke one of the clips that holds the bulb in. By the time I get through, he tells me I need a new ballast. They told me it would be $49 whether they fixed it or not. So I'm over the proverbial barrel. Keep in mind this is a light fixture that was 25 years old and probably cost between $10 and $20. The guy then tries selling me on putting in two canned lights for about $600. I ended up getting the old light fixed for $272 (two small plastic parts and a $30-$40 ballast)! It took less than 30 minutes to fix. I guess I should have just eaten the $49 service fee. What a bunch of crooks.

We had an electrical problem over the weekend. We called Monday and got an appointment for Tuesday. (It wasn't an emergency so this was fine.) The tech was courteous, and did a great job of explaining our options. He fixed the problem quickly.
I would use them again if we have another problem. The Senior discount was appreciated as well.

I have hired Able twice and both times I have been very pleased. The first time they came out was because my bathroom drains were backing up with gray water. It was pretty yucky. It turned out the clog was in part of the piper underneath our front yard. It was a troublesome clog and they couldn't clear it through our clean-out. But they replaced the chunk of lawn perfectly and you can't even tell it was ever dug up. They kept me informed of everything and explained exactly what was going on and what my options were. After working outside in the heat all day, they were finally able to clear the line. It was a pretty nasty clog, to say the least. The whole job cost about $500. Unfortunately I will have to replace the line eventually because it is so old and is starting to deteriorate (it called an orangeburg line, which is made of an inferior material), which will be an expensive job (they quoted about $4000). They charge by the job and what they do, not by the hour, so even though they had to be here all day to clear the stubborn clog, the price only reflected the type of work they performed.

The second time they came out was for a leaky toilet. I had attempted to do a diy fix of the wax gasket, but it didn't work for very long and the toilet started leaking by the base again, so I decided to let a professional handle it. Before getting to work on it, the serviceman gave me a quote on each possible scenario, best case to worst case. I was very happy when it turned out to be the easiest and least expensive fix. He said he prefers it that way too because he gets paid the same no matter what, but he has to stand by his work. It is reassuring to know that there isn't an incentive to go with the pricier fix. He showed me exactly what he was doing, and again took the time to explain what was going on with my gasket, flange, etc. This job cost $260 bucks. So even though he wasn't here long, that was just the flat rate for the kind of work he performed.

Bottoms line is that although Able may cost more than some of the competition, I think they're worth it. They are very professional and courteous, and their policies and price guides are clear. They let you know what your in for as best they can before beginning work. I also appreciate they're high standard of customer service. The servicemen I have worked with have all been very polite and well groomed. I feel confident in the work they have done at my house and will continue to call on them in future, but I hope not anytime too soon!

I have never had a worse experience with a contractor! Our water heater went out, and at the recommendation of a friend, called Able Plumbing. They showed up late, were unable to fix the hot water heater on the first day, had me buy another part, which also didn't fix the problem. The employee that came out to do the work did shotty work, didn't seem to be very capable and above all was rude and disrespectful to me in conversation blaming me for the issues he was running into.

While all of this could probably have been overlooked and chalked up to a stressful, unfortunate series of events, the employee left the gas on when he left, filling my home with gas over night!

When I called to express my concerns, the manager was short and rude, and told me that ""it couldn't happen"" so I was clearly in the wrong!
