I truly believe that I was overcharged for a simple installation of a new sink garbage disposal that I supplied myself. I was charged $340.00 to install a $179.00 unit which took their technician only 20 minutes. I was extremely upset when told how much the service call was, but paid the technician immediately by credit card before he left. An hour later I received an email from their billing dept. stating that my credit card refused payment and they were asked to confiscate my card by my credit card company.
I got an email just before theirs from my credit card company stating that the expiration date and three digit code which their technician entered into his electronic card processor didn't match my card. I called my credit card company immediately and they said that they never asked to have my card confiscated. I have an excellent credit rating and have never not paid any obligation due. This has been a horrible experience that I wouldn't want anyone else to go through.

Everything from start to finish with this company with excellent. Every person I worked with was courteous and prompt. I couldn't recommend them more. A short notice appointment to get some things taken care of for my elderly parents. Priceless. Flawless service and work. I will definitely use them from now on.

Had Summers Plumbing out to fix a very clogged main drain this morning. Jamie and his coworker (whos name I am blanking on at the moment) were on time, quick, and performed quality work. After the line was fixed, they took the time to explain the issue, how it happened, and how it can be prevented. Will continue to use Summers for my plumbing needs.

Very professional and ON TIME! The diagnosed an issue, 2 other plumbers were unable to figure out at my dental practice! Highly recommend for plumbing needs. They text when the technician is on the way along with a picture of the technician, which is a nice safety feature if any of my female staff might be the one handling the service call!

My kitchen faucet, which I installed myself 10 years ago, suddenly began having problems with low pressure (all other fixtures in the house had good pressure). Having used Summers Plumbing before to connect the house to county water), I called them for help. After having spent much of my life in construction and home repair, I no longer am able to crawl on the floor and under a sink. I was able to secure an appointment the following morning for Summers Plumbing to bring a new faucet and replace my old one.
Two plumbers (Sam and Don) arrived on time and within an hour had replaced my faucet. They were very thorough, cleaning the top of the sink before installing the new faucet, fixing a leak in the shut-off valve, being sure that the sink drains were not leaking, and cleaning up all trash. I will not hesitate to call Summers for any future plumbing needs.

If you need a plumber and Summers Plumbing serves your area there is no reason to look any further. They are very professional, reasonable pricing and their customer service on the phone is amazing. My daughter recently bought a home that had old pipes that kept clogging. Jamie and Don found the issues and took the time to show me the problem, explain why it was happening and how to fix it. They fixed it so my daughter could use her plumbing over Christmas and returned this morning to finish the job. I cannot recommend this company enough. You will be extremely satisfied with their service and repairs. Thank you!
