Thomas Plumbing & Septic Tank

Unfortunately we had a problem with a toilet during Memorial Day weekend. We called the company on Memorial Day and were told that he had two service calls to go on and then he would be by to give an estimate on the work. (We also needed two faucets to be replaced and figured it would be easier to get it done at the same time as the toilet.)
Well, he did not show up at all that night. We didn’t receive a courtesy call either. It only takes a moment to call someone back and apologize that you won’t be able to make it that night after all. Hopefully they pick up on this practice in the future.
The next morning, the guy called us back and said he would be at the house around 9 or 9:30 and apologized that he got an emergency call the night before. (Again, it only takes a moment for a courtesy call once you’ve told someone you’re going to be there for an estimate.) He did arrive around 9:45. He did a quick look at the work and quoted at half what another company quoted over the phone (without seeing any of the work.)
He stayed and did the work. It took him a total of six hours to complete the valve replacement on the toilet and installing the two faucets. He had two cell phones with him that rang constantly. And every time one rang, he took the time to answer it. I thought this was quite a bit unprofessional, especially since some of the calls sounded like personal calls. The calls greatly slowed down the work.
Unfortunately, one of the replacement faucets we purchased was faulty and we had to get it replaced before he could finish the work. During the twenty minutes it took to go down to Lowe’s and replace the part, he left to go do another call. Luckily it didn’t take him long to come back after we called him and told him we replaced the part.
So after this six hour ordeal, he finally finished the work and stuck to his quoted price. (Lucky us!)
I can’t really say I recommend or don’t recommend this company. If you have all day for your plumbing problem to get fixed, then go for it. The guy is very nice. (This was just a little pet peeve, but he talks extremely loudly and I had a sleeping 4 mo old in the house.) He also kept asking us to clean up after him and tighten things here and there. Some things I feel he should have been doing himself. I probably won’t use this company again.
