Our toilet drain clogged the morning of March 11, 2024. I obtained the list of recommended plumbers from our Condo Manager. After calling the 7 plumbers on the list, nobody was able to come on that day. Seeing television advertisements by Steve's Plumbing which gives the viewer an opinion that they are fair priced, I called them and was told that they were able to come at about 4 PM. When the repairman arrived a little after 4 PM, he first assessed the problem and said that we have to agree to paying the estimate before he could start the job. The estimate was $1,615.06 which included the after-hour charge. My neighbor and I thought that the estimate was extremely high but at that time, we were in a poor bargaining position, so we signed the estimate to start the job. The repairman then went to his truck to retrieve his tools and found that his wet vacuum was missing, and he said that he could not start the job without it. He called a second repairman who had a wet vacuum in his truck who arrived a little after 5 PM. The second repairman stayed to help but only worked 15 minutes to vacuum the water. The first repairman worked about 1 1/2 hours to remove the toilet and unclog the drain for a combined time of 1 3/4 hours actually worked. When the job was completed, the first repairman said that the estimate was the final cost. Being that our price issue was with Steve's Plumbing and not the repairman, we approved the job as being completed. To confirm to myself that the prices charged were exorbitant, I called several plumbers on the approved list, when I told them that I think that I was overcharged, without my volunteering any information to them, they said "Was it Steve's Plumbing?" They also confirmed we were grossly overcharged inclusive of the after-hour charge. Apparently, the plumbing industry know that Steve's Plumbing has earned this reputation of overcharging for services which to me appears to be a "bait and switch" TV tactic.Steve's Plumbing Service Response

We had a negative experience with Steve's Plumbing Services as they charged us $2k for a simple irrigation pipe replacement for our sprinkler system. We strongly recommend against hiring them due to their exorbitant pricing and feeling ripped off.Review from Shirley F

This company over charged for the shoddy work they did. A main drain clean out turn out to be a shower tear down also and we still cant use the shower because it is not completed. To complete it we must pay more money to a contractor in other words we have to hire one. After paying $42,361.29 we felt we didnt need to pay more to have the shower done. They tore the bath tub shower down because they said there was a leak underneath the tub.Review from Mark U

Rip off! Called them to replace a cracked toilet. Guys showed up and called me with their quote. Was told it needs to be replaced immediately. Under the circumstances, I had to proceed with the replacementat a cost of $2800 which included toilet and valve replacement. Seriouslyits not a Toto toilet. Its a simple toilet and valve. Even if the parts cost $800, that means it was $1000/hr for labor?! They werent there longer than 2 hours. Dont call Steves like the commercial sayscall anyone else whos honest.Review from Curtis T

Not reliable. I booked simple A/C service 2 months ago. *****'s has cancelled the appointment 3 times in a week, and now I am left in a bad situation, as I have to move out of the house. I would definitely look for another business if you need dependable service.Steve's Plumbing Service Response

HIGHLY recommend!!! I scheduled an estimate, they gave me a call first, the technician, *****, was very honest, precise and incredibly knowledgeable. His expertise is extremely apparent! (He gave me choices and options and then did outstanding work in very little time)! The price was very fair and also he's hilarious and brightens your day ;-) Within an hour I was saved from black moldy pipes (which he found instantly)! My manager had said I needed three other repairs, but ***** quickly analyzed the situation and pinpointed a single issue.I cannot recommend this service enough and am saving them in my phone as go-to technicians! Thank you ***** and *****!!!Steve's Plumbing Service Response
