Repaired Toilet

We had our toilet back up first thing in the morning so we called Priority after finding them online. They came within an hour and were very polite and professional. I was worried about having to call a plumber and the horror stories you hear about price, but they were fast and the price was great. I was able to make it to work on time and it made what could have been a real inconvenience in my day to be not a problem at all. Other than it cost me $200 but that was my fault for flushing kleenex down the drain, I am very pleased. Good Job!

Leak in my ceiling

I was referred to Priority Plumbing by a neigbor who used them several times in the past. As always I did my research and checked out their website which looked professional and had lots of testimonials and displayed the award they have won for best plumbing company. I also checked out Homestars and read some of the reviews. I was kind of hesitant to call them because of some of the negative reviews I read, but I guess since it was a referral I decided to go ahead with it. Jennifer was very polite and professional on the phone and they came within 1 hour. Mike arrived showed I.D. and was super courteous and professional. h He looked around to diagnose the problem and was very thorough in his explanation of the work needed to be done and the costs involved, which were not unreasonable like some of the stories I read on homestars. The job was completed around 3 hours later. He had to cut a hole in my ceiling and fix a leaking water pipe that turns out the previous plumber did not instal properly. He wore booties and put down drop cloths. When he was finished, he left the room very clean. He was not sloppy and rushing like other workers we've had in the past. I really don't know why anyone would have a problem with Priority Plumbing. I would recomend them without hesitation and hopefully won't need to use them again but I will if I ever need a plumber.

New Fixtures in the bathroom

We just had our toilet, sink, and 2 sets of faucets replaced in our bathroom. My husband and I decided to go out and purchase our own since we wanted a certain style to match the rest of the bathroom. Greg was very professional and helpful in the decision making process and spent quite a bit of time offering us advice on where to purchase and what to watch out for. He probably 2 hours or so without any additional charges. He cam back a week later and installed all of our fixtures and was very careful when working in our house using drop cloths and shoe covers. I have to say that he was very nice and pleasant to have in our home. The whole experience was just great.

Leaking faucet

I was told when I called Priority that I wouldn't be charged for the visit if my problem couldn't be fixed. The issue was a tub leak and the piping was behind tile with the vent to the side. I could reach the faucet by snaking my hand through the hole, but with no plumbing expertise, I couldn't deal with the problem myself but figured a trained plumber could. The plumber who arrived was polite and informed me that he couldn't fix the problem without breaking the tile. O.k., so how much to break the tile? He pulls out the book of big numbers and points to the cost - I could have dropped dead on the spot. Over $600 before taxes to break the tile (and not even cutting a neat even hole - he advised I would have to hire someone else if I wanted that). I didn't go ahead with the work and was charged $50 for the pleasure. I guess technically, he may have been able to do the work, but I would have had to pay more than $600 to find that out.

I notice from Priority's responses to the reviews that the focus seems to be on the fact that they do a good job and their plumbers are not criminals. Which kind of implies that the plumbing business is rife with murderers doing terrible jobs. Give me a break. The crime is the prices being charged by Priority. I am writing this review today because I decided to try opening up the tile myself. Guess what? It took me 10 minutes max with a chipping hammer (and I am a mom with zero experience at this).

Priority called today asking if they could come back and fix the leak. If they charge over $600 for 10 minutes of work a monkey could do, I shudder to think of what would be charged for the actual skilled part of the work.

If we can't fix the leak ourselves, I have no doubt that I will be able to find a plumber without a criminal record who will do a great job and not rob me blind (I'll get a referral this time).

Unfortunately if you wanted our Plumber to stand in your home and do nothing at all, the price would be the same. We can not charge one price for what you consider skilled and another for what you don't consider skilled.

We just got off the phone and I am surprised that you would write a negative review, when the nature of my call was to see how you were doing with your situation. You told me that you took a hammer and broke a hole, and you are lucky that the tile came off without causing damage to the rest of the tiles.

Our Plumber would use a grinder which requires us to clear out the room and seal off the door to prevent the dust from escaping the bathroom. The we clean up the work area as clean or cleaner than we found it. You also told me on the phone that you are not sure if you could fix the wall the way you broke it.

I think that it is also important to stress that we came out the same day when you needed service that day, we wore shoe covers, we respected you and your home, the plumber was very knowledgeable and able to solve the most complex of issues without any stress or inconvenience to the home owner, arrived in a fully stocked vehicle and yes, is criminally background checked and drug tested.

Did you hear about the service technician who recently robbed a home in Oakville? I'm not saying that all plumbers are criminals, but let's face it, you are letting a stranger into your home.

I highly doubt that you will find a Plumber that meets all of these criteria for the same price. We have just won our 2nd Award for "Best Plumbing Company" you can look for us in this week's edition of the Villager which serves your area.

Clog

First thing the guy do is pull the rate list with regular price and compares it with value price which comes with 1 year membership. To replace the bathtub faucet, I was quoted $1200. To open and close toilet $399 which is practically opening two screws which he did in couple of minutes.

I understand the fact they are "licensed" "bonded" and do background check. But that doesnt mean they have license to charge arm and leg and it is all sales pitch. I would recommend people to do their own homework and get quotes from couple of different places. I firmly believe that ratings on his website are fake. Torontonians deserve better at affordable price.

Hello highway 52 in Toronto,

Our Service Partner Plan is one of the biggest reasons Torontonians choose to do business with Priority Plumbing. It offers a discount on services, front of the line privileges, same day service and free annual plumbing maintenance to prevent emergencies from occuring in the first place.

I am sorry you don't value having criminally background checked, drug tested, Licensed and Insured technicians in your home, but for our thousands and thousands of very satisfied customers, they do.

If you notice a trend of all of the bad reviews on homestars, you will see that it is always about price and never about quality of work or service.

Perhaps you can find a cheaper price, but be careful that you don't end up on Holmes on Holmes with another disaster story. I believe that you get what you pay for.

When dealing with water and plumbing in your home, you don't want to trust it to just anybody. We charge what we charge to keep the Best Plumbers employed for us and to efficiently offer the fastest most reliable service in Toronto.

Since we always offer the price before we start we're sorry you felt victimized.
Best,
Priority Plumbing

Moving some plumbing for a renovation

I am renovating my bathroom and needed to move some plumbing pipes to accomidate the new design. Mike came by and discussed whether or not my plans were do-able plumbing wise. After a quick look in the basement he determined that my goals were achievable. He went to his truck and worked out a price down to the penny which which seemed reasonable. The next day he came and did the work. It took him most of the day, he put down drop cloths, wore shoe covers, was very polite and courteous. The jobsite was left very clean and all of the garbage was taken away. Over all I am very Happy, there were no surprises or glitches. My home was respected and the over all experience was painless for a renovation. I would gladly refer Priority Plumbing and would use them again.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Nothing
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
I would recomend priority Plumbing for their renovation project. They only do the plumbing not the drywall or painting.

Leaking Pipes

I had a leak coming up from my basement floor. I was told it was a broken drain pipe from a reputable company. After speaking with a friend who had used Priority before, I decided to get another quote. As it turns out, the problem was a burst water line and there was no drain in the area at all.

They fixed the problem in one day, repaired the floor and left the work are very clean. They were courteous and professional. They wore shoe covers and layed down drop sheets.

I would recommend Priority Plumbing as I am quite happy with their service.

Plugged Drain

I called Priority Plumbing late one night because I had raw sewage backing up into my basement. (Gross). Priority Plumbing was the 2nd company I called after the first company didn't answer their phone. So much for 24 hour service.

Greg arrived less than an hour later. He was intelligent, polite and eager to help. I didn't get the feeling like he was trying to take advantage of me or my situation like I had somewhat expected. I guess you hear horror stories and hope for the best.

He had all the gadgets and locators to identify my problem underground quickly and accurately. I've been to doctors who were less competent. I've also had other service guys in my home and know outstanding service when i see it.

We ended up replacing a small section of drain pipe after he showed me for my own eyes with the camera and explained everything in great detail. He could have told me to replace the whole drain but he was honest and told me that I could wait a few more years.

The price was not unreasonable at all. I was happy to get my problem fixed quickly and professionally. I really have to comment on the technician though. Greg was a true gentleman, a professional and just a quality human being, rare in any profession.

If you want great service, great people, honesty and peace of mind, call Priority Plumbing. I would gladly recommend this company to everyone. Great Job!

New Faucet Installed

I called priority plumbing because my bathroom faucet was leaking and old. Jennifer was very proffesional while booking the call which was a huge difference from the company I called a few minutes earlier who put me on hold for 15 minutes and then got upset with me when I asked if they could narrow down the arival time.

Steven came by and WOW, what a suprise. He was extremely courteous and rolled out the red carpet so he wouldn't dirty my house. He wore shoe covers and was VERY professional. He was very knowledgable about the products and took the time to ask me questions about what I wanted before reccomending a replacement model.

What a refreshing experience to have a contractor come to my home and provide that level of service. I've had terrible experiences in the past with others who damaged my property, were unknowledgable and inconsiderate. Ya I could have gotten a cheaper price if I shopped around but who knows who would have showed up, how they would have treated my home, and what type of job they would have done?

As for me, I'm sticking with Priority Plumbing and would highly reccomend them to anyone and everyone. Good Work Guys.

replacement of main water valve

I had virtually no water pressure and couldn't figure out what the problem was. I found Priority Plumbing's website and decided to give them a try. They sent Mike, who was exceptionally prompt and VERY polite and considerate. He went through the house and identified an aging main water valve as the likely problem. I had to schedule a time for the city to shut off the water a couple of days later, when I could be at home. Jennifer, in the PP office, called to make sure I remembered to call the city at 7:30 am; Mike came within 45 minutes after I called PP to let them know the city technician had shut the water off. It later turned out that there may have been a simpler explanation for the lack of water pressure (some mystery valves to the water lines, which Mike discovered deep in a basement closet), but my intuition is that the main valve was the root problem. The job wasn't cheap, but the water pressure is terrific now and I have great confidence in the company and esp. in Mike and Jennifer. Terrific job!
