Wanted to let you know James did a fantastic job installing our new Toto Toilet/Bidet as well as Bryan with Pleasants Electric. Both were very professional and their workmanship was excellent. James diligently and carefully assembled and installed the new toilet and it works like a charm! Both James and Bryan cleaned up all construction debris, leaving the place looking as if they had never been there. Everything works perfectly and it looks as if it's been there since we built the house. Our sincere thanks to the team for a great job done!

I had Schwartz reroute a leaking main water line and repipe my entire house due to polybutylene pipes. They got me on the books quickly and finished the work in 2 days, for a better price than competitors. They were more than happy to make a couple extra trips back to address some of the issues that came up from such a big job. I'm very happy with their service and I'll be contacting them for any plumbing work I need done.

I had a very easy initial phone call to set up a plumbing appointment for repairs I needed in my home. Earl came to my house on time and provided a call 15min ahead of arrival. He came by to look at a few plumbing repairs and was very friendly and honest. He removed a kitchen faucet for me where I had a tough time doing the job myself and then installed the new faucet I had purchased from Lowe's.

He also looked at two toilets of mine that were leaking and provided his assistance at a complimentary fee. In addition, he left me with a new fill valve and stopper for my use so that I can make the replacement myself to help save me some extra $. I appreciated that he was willing to teach a new homeowner how to diagnose problems and make the repairs to avoid having to call a plumber next time. I would recommend Earl and Schwartz Plumbing to a family member or friend.

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, Responsiveness, Value Not a good experience. I called in for heater replacement. She claimed they couldn't send someone out until friday. when i said I can wait till friday, she changed story and said they are busy and will charge over $100 to come in and give a price quote.

Had Schwartz plumbing install an under counter reverse osmosis system that included an on-demand hot water spout combo spout. The plumber had installed previous RO systems but never this brand. He figured it out, left no mess, the system worked flawlessly. 1 year later the system is still working well. Would highly recommend Schwartz plumbing.

Great service and timeliness. Called to set appointment. two days away is very fair. I called and added a hose bib that was also leaking, and she said they'd do it if possible. Then they called back in less than a half hour to ask if I was available right away. YES! Technician came within 20 minutes. Excellent work. Had to deal with some craziness in the wall from the last homeowner. All is good. Pricing was extremely reasonable.

I called Michael & Sons and they wanted $76 just to come out and give an estimate. I had seen a Schwartz van in my neighborhood recently, so I gave them a call. They gave me a quote for the services I needed OVER THE PHONE. I needed a garbage disposal removed (not replaced, just removed). The price was very reasonable (I had another quote to compare) and the technician was very friendly and efficient. Would recommend!

Mothers - raise your sons to be plumbers and your daughters to marry one and they will never be poor. In the past two months, I had a leaking outdoor faucet repaired, a leaking toilet repaired and ultimately replaced and a leaking bathroom faucet fixed at the cost of more than $1000. I always thought Schwartz was overpriced but this last visit took the cake. Earl spent no more than ten minutes on the leaking bathroom faucet and I was charged $212+ which I find shameful.

I understand people need to make a living but I, for one, and sick and tired of being taken advantage of. I will never call Schwartz again and will advise all my family members, friends and acquaintances to look elsewhere for their plumbing needs.

Pedro came out to inspect a house I am purchasing in the next month. He was punctual, knowledgeable, and very down to Earth. He gave me his honest opinions on each of the issues ahead of me and how much they would cost in the future, but did not pressure me. I feel Schwartz prices were fair and can imagine with Pedro's knowledge they do solid work. I'll be contacting them in the future.

We used Schwartz to have our tankless water heater installed several years ago and recently ran into a huge (insurance claim) leak saturating all of the insulation in the crawl space and creating mold along some beams. Another plumber came to find the polybutylene pipes had melted slightly and created a pinhole that had been leaking for weeks. That plumber had led us to believe that Schwartz had contributed to the problem.

They also offered to replace all of the pipes, but in three months. So, essentially they say we "will" have another break, but wait until we can get to you. The next day, the water heater just stopped working so we called Schwartz. Now, I had been under the house pulling out wet insulation before Carolina Restoration was due to arrive and I was pretty upset.

That's when I met James in the driveway holding the section of pipe the other plumber gave to us for insurance. I blew up on him waving the pipe around and unloaded all of the stress on him. James should have left, but he calmly explained what had really happened and was so gracious to excuse my behavior. He actually ended up giving me a hug.which I really needed.

I've been reading reviews by other people and it seems like most people just love the technicians Schwartz hires, but I think James really went above and beyond to help me understand our problem.and not running away from the crazed lady with a pipe was a bonus. James went on to spend several hours diagnosing some issues, correcting them, and then even patiently explained it all over again when my husband arrived home. We were so impressed with the quality of service he supplied for the price.

I am a 20 years client of this company, and was subject of a rip-off on 3/1/19 by this very company. I needed a water heater Burner assembly replaced, priced online at $125, but cost to company $250. Total time elapsed for technician visit, that included a ONE hour away period to go and pick up part, 2 hours, verified by phone calls. installing. part took 15mn, asb shown in YouTube video Repair clinic2637071.total charge was $750+tax, an hourly rate of more than $250. Breach of trust to long time customer, taking advantage of a senior, predatory practice for unjustifiable pricing. Have filed complaints to appropriate venues and agency.

I'm delighted with Schwartz Plumbing and have been for decades. My landlady used them, I bought a home and used them. Now they are my go-to for my investment property's plumbing needs. Great job, fair price! Second review 3/1/18 Highest praise for Schwartz Plumbing who work very quickly to replace aging sewer and water lines at our investment property. Thomas went above and beyond to deliver superior service.

When he noted further issues on the city side of the lines, he coordinated with the city to arrange service so that all will be in tip top shape. Bravo for the good service Schwartz Plumbing! BTW, there are a few businesses with this same name. The folks in Raleigh, NC are the real deal, so all these reviews may not reflect the Raleigh, NC business.

Overpriced. Flat rate of $275 plus tax to replace a temperature pressure release valve on a hot water heater. $25 for a part at Lowe's. Not a difficult repair at all. Do not recommend. Repair person kind-not his fault. Hourly rate is $198, according to repair person. I wish I had asked for an estimate. The flat rate for electric hot water heater and installation is $1650. Glad I did not need that.

.a friend's recommendation turned out to be spot on! Schwartz gave my under-sink problem fast attention (even when I know they must've had loads of busted pipe emergencies to handle), found the trouble and had it fixed in an hour! I was surprised to find out I could have even called on New Years Day for help. I've found a new resource. Even our usually yappy doggies liked Pedro!

Way overpriced. Had another company come and do the same job for less than 1/2 the price.

Awesome plumber! We recommend them to our clients all the time. Give them a call if you need a small repair, or a complete re-pipe. They'll take great care of you.

We have used Schwartz several times, including today. They're always prompt, courteous, and very affordable.

I love Schwartz b/c their plumbers teach me how to fix things myself every time they come. I am now able to do the annual flush of my tankless water heater myself instead of calling them and clean out the back up in a pipe because my kids still don't know how to run the disposal properly. They have so much business they don't need mine if I can do it myself!

Wonderful, polite and professional crew that replaced our water heater. We couldn't have asked for a better group of guys. Thank you!

One of the best plumbing experiences we've had in the 25 years that we've been homeowners!
