Review and analyze now for company Planet Earth Plumbing and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''Absolutely DO NOT USE this company. I'm currently looking into legal options to get my money back from Andrew.
Here's the story: Met with Andrew twice in early November to walk him through a number of things I was looking to get done to an old house I purchased. Moving water/drains, hot water heater, gas, etc.
Andrew seemed like a great guy at the time, down to earth, confident he could get all the work done in a timely manner. I've never misread someone so badly.
I sent Andrew half the total cost of the project on November 13th for materials and to get started on the work, with the rest to be paid upon completion of the work. He said he'd be getting started that weekend on the project.
Instead, it turned out to be one excuse after another about why he never showed up when promised to do the work. He became increasingly difficult to get a hold of.
He stopped answering my phone calls, always promised via text to call me back later, and never did. This continued for two months until early January.
In order to get a hold of him, I had to call from google voice numbers he didn't have. On Friday, January 10th, I finally got a hold of someone (I believe his wife) and told them I did NOT want him performing any work and asked for my money back.
I was told he would return the materials the following Monday (Jan 13th) and would get a refund a few days later. That turned into "no later than Wednesday (Jan 22nd)".
It's now Jan 31st, I still don't have the money returned to me, hence the legal action against Andrew. To sum it all up, Andrew repeatedly lied to me about starting work, calling me back, his plumbing license (it's expired), pulling permits for the job, sending me any kind of documentation, and now he's literally stolen my money.
Do business with this man at your own risk. Absolutely worst experience ever.
Andrew came out to fix my hot water heater on the 20th of September. Total charge for the hot water heater was $1195.
He left the old hot water heater in my attic because he was alone that day and needed help to take it out. After having to call them from my google voice number to answer (which was extremely shady in its own right) I finally got him to come back out and at that time asked him when someone would be coming to inspect.
He said "pulling a permit is not a problem. I'll handle it soon." And it is easy to pull a permit if you're a licensed plumber, BUT ANDREW IS NOT.
So he tells me his license had expired, and he was going to get everything fixed and that I'd get my permit. But even after multiple heated calls, that day never came.
Eventually, by October 20th, I had to get another plumbing service, Legacy Plumbing, to come look at the hot water heater. At first glance, their plumber told me that the work would have never passed inspection anyway.
So, I gladly paid them about $550 dollars to fix the work. 2 days later, I had the inspector in my house and we had passed inspection.
I disputed charges from Planet Earth Plumbing with my CC company and I'm filing a complaint with the Texas State Board of Plumbing. Before you hire any plumber, don't make the mistake I did, and look them up here: https://tsbpe.texas.gov/portfolio/find-a-license-registration/ The first time Outstanding service - walked in assessed the issue reviewed the work with me- provided the price and got to work on my blockage!! fixed the issue of without an problem in a timely fast Called the back for a second time to use them -received multiple texts from no pick up on my call never came to the appt.
when I did get the call connected - called them back left several messages to correct still nothing. Had to go with someone else to fit the issues Getting my water heater inspected again tomorrow.
Hopefully I pass ... no thanks to Planet Earth Plumbing.
Andrew is still not pulling permits or getting city inspections-- probably because he's not a licensed plumber as of Nov. 18, 2019.
Nothing to see here; just another satisfied customer following a string of many other satisfied customers. What really seems to set Planet Earth Plumbing apart is its owner, Andrew, and his desire to do right by his customers.
He clearly enjoys what he does and is very good at it, but more importantly, keeps sight of who he is doing it for. Some professionals tend to focus exclusively on the issue at hand - e.g.
"I am here to fix your leak" - but it's clear that Andrew treats his business as so much more than that and is here not only to fix a leak, but to solve a problem for a person and make sure they understand and are satisfied with the solution and how it was provided. Having written many hundreds of reviews, I would put Andrew near the very top of my list.
If there were a 6th star available, I would reserve it for a very select number of companies, and Planet Earth Plumbing would be one of them. We had hired Planet Earth Plumbing previously to repair a faulty exterior faucet.
They arrived within hours and did a great job of replacing the faucet. When it came time to replace our leaking kitchen sink faucet with a new Moen faucet, Andrew's company (Planet Earth Plumbing) was our first choice.
We called to make an appointment and left a message. No one responded so we called again the next day.
Jessica answered the phone and made our appointment. The first appointment was for 1 PM on a Monday.
They failed to show up. The second appointment was for the next day between 7 AM and 9 AM.
They failed to show up. Both times, when we again called the business, Jessica said they were busy with another urgent project.
The next appointment was for Wednesday of the same week. Andrew and his assistant came to our house around 11 AM.
He said the new faucet needed different connections. Andrew said he would go to the plumbing supply store and return to replace our faucet.
We waited several hours and finally called the business. Jessica said they had to go to several places to get the parts they needed.
"I will give you a discount for all the times we have failed to come to your home" said Jessica. We replied "We just want the job done".
They never came back. They never contacted us again.
I don't know why Andrew failed to return to do the job. In my opinion, Planet Earth Plumbing needs to be more honest and reliable with their customers.
If they are not interested in a job, please state this upfront so customers are not left waiting for days for Planet Earth Plumbing to do a project. We hired another company who had no problem replacing our kitchen sink faucet without any problems or drama.
Andrew and his crew are great. They are very helpful and were able to fix our leak properly.
The leak was in the front yard. They were transparent in the execution.
Kept us informed at nearly every step of the way; which is really appreciated. This company is very trustworthy and honest.
I'm really glad we had them come to our aid. Highly recommend.
Had a second great experience with Andrew this week. He helped us fix a fussy toilet gasket very quickly at a reasonable cost.
Couldn't recommend enough! I initially liked Andrew & had good rapport with him & his prices were good. However, twice he's had deaths in family and didn't communicate with us to cancel OR reschedule after they returned to work.
I gave them benefit of the doubt as i know they're a family business and gave him one more chance. Said he'd come by in 2 days and do the work with his weekend assistant.
He didn't show, hasn't called or responded to my messages asking what happened. Poor business sense and horrible communications w customer!!! Do NOT USE THEM if you actually want any work done! The times I am speaking of were NOT cancelled by me.
Yes, I had to cancel a couple of times but I DID CONTACT YOU IN ADVANCE to do so. ODD THAT YOU CAN RESPOND TO YELP IMMEDIATELY BUT NOT TO THE CUSTOMER ASKING WHY YOU DIDNT SHOW UP, not once, but 3 times....?! Andrew came out again today to install a new dishwasher and flush out a hot water heater.
We need some more work to restore hot water pressure in the master bedroom, and will call him to come back to take care of that soon. Andrew continues to provide the best imaginable service and value, just incredible, like no service person I've ever worked with.
Sometimes, life gives you gems, and Andrew is truly one of those. What a great experience.
Got a bid for the repair job - replacing a broken outside faucet - and booked them for the repair. They showed up, made the repair and then charged me exactly what they had quoted.
Doesn't get much smoother than that. I've definitely found my new plumber! Andrew and Taylor were super.
They were the first to respond to my request for a new hot water heater and gave me a decent and honest quote. I went with them immediately and their recommendation for what type of hot water heater.
Their office person also gave me some great information. I highly recommend them and I now have more space in my garage once they took out my 19 yr old water heater.
I am so happy. Just met with Andrew--the owner of Planet Earth Plumbing--for free in-home estimate and couldn't be more pleased with the person and the outcome.
Andrew did a thorough assessment--Yeah! Don't need a new water heater!!!--and took his time educating me about some plumbing fundamentals as a new homeowner. He was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and did not try to up-sell me.
He even shared pointers about how I could save more money on a few DIY hacks. All for FREE.
I knew things were off to a good start when he was responsive to my texts about making the initial appointment. We engaged in a very insightful dialogue about a Rheem vs Bradford White showdown.
And it was eye-opening to see the 30% cost differential he was quoting for a new water heater vs other local competitors. They were all in the $1500 range and he was less than $1000.
I asked why the big disparity and he said (this is a direct quote from his text): "I'm an honest guy that's not out to tear peoples heads off. I want you to call me again and your family and friends and neighbors as well." Well, that I certainly will Andrew.
I have met my plumber for life! They did an awesome job and gave us a really good price. We had a pipe start leaking over our water heater.
I contacted them through Yelp late in the evening, and they were able to come by the next day. They cut off the old pieces of copper, brass, and plastic pipe, and installed a flexible metal pipe.
All in about 15 minutes. They made it look easy! They were quick with the job and knowledgable.
They were very friendly and easy to talk to. And the price was unbeatable.
For a plumber to have all of those qualities is very rare. These guys have a high Yelp rating for a reason.
And now I also highly recommend them to anyone who needs a plumber. Andrew is running a business that goes above and beyond, and I don't say that lightly.
Thank you guys for the incredible service! We just bought an older home in Allen that needed a new gas pipe installed for the wood burning fireplace. I reached out to several plumbers for estimates and PEP was the first to respond along with the most reasonable estimate.
Andrew was on time and did a great job. While he was there, he agreed to look at a few toilet issues which he quickly fixed.
Not even 2 weeks later, my kitchen sink backed up and couldn't get it to drain. Andrew came out on a few days notice and snaked out a huge grease stoppage in the line.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the jobs done and the prices charged. I'll definitely use Planet Earth for any future plumbing issues! I'm updating again so everyone can see my respond to Andrew who lies a lot (sorry Andrew but you do and I"ll bet you weren't expecting me to check your response)--HEY called you today about the part you stole and you didn't answer that's weird huh? The counter install people didn't break anything because the new plumber we got just hooked up new water hoses from the valves to the faucet and they work just fine.
Also, I was saying I would have LOVED to pay the full price at $75 each if it had meant you would actually get it done. Had I actually paid you something maybe you would have been held a little more accountable.
You took the piece of the faucet that connects the faucet head to the handles (where the hoses hook up) to get a washer because you said it was missing. I've returned every single phone call, and had to baby sit you to schedule something and come by again.
You came out four times (1. when the counter people were installing 2.
Initial estimate of the 3 faucets 3. You put in the faucet handles---and not very good they were all loose 4.
You came by for the last time to tell me the valves needed to be completely redone (which they don't)) PEOPLE PLEASE STAY AWAY: If this is how you treat your extended family, no one should want to be a part of it. I've uploaded a picture of my cell phone log so you can see that I called on 7/27....that's July 27th.
So my bad, it took 6 weeks for me to fire you and 6 weeks for you to not do any work and take off with our faucet piece. I had some septic work done by Andrew after 3 other companies could not fix the problem.
They were fast, very fair priced, and the work was outstanding. No issues since.
Recently, I thought I needed some other plumbing work done inside the house. After talking to Andrew, I realized I could easily fix the problems, at no cost.
Other companies would have come out and charged me for this. I have found them to be very honest, professional, and reasonably priced.
Would recommend them to anyone. He took off with my shower part and has not returned calls/messages.
It has now been 3 months without use of that shower. Please give me my part back or return to finish the job, this is the worst experience I have ever had with a vendor and simply unprofessional.
I have sent a separate message on facebook with my contact information; if you choose to respond with in a timely manner and fix the issue I will delete my negative review (s) I wanted to like Andrew and Planet Earth Plumbing, I really did. But it's been nothing short of a horrendous nightmare.
My parents found a leak from the gas line, gas was shut off on Dec 27, 2018 not to be turned on again until repairs and city inspection were made. We called Planet Earth Plumbing Dec 28, 2018, they came out immediately, gave us an incredible estimate (2,260) 1/3 of what other companies were quoting us.
Andrew and his team seemed extremely down to earth (perhaps the reason for their name) and not out to gouge every last cent from their customers so my parents and I happily agreed. They came out and did all the repairs and finished sometime around Jan 4, 2019.
All the repairs looked fine, it was all going smoothly until after they received final payment on the 4th (which they were extremely prompt calling me at 8:29 pm and again at 8:48 pm the same night) and needed to contact the city to get an inspection. Then came absolute radio silence.
Absolutely zero communication on the progress of obtaining the inspection. Every time there was communication, it was initiated by me wondering "What in the world is going on?!?" Followed by dates and promises that never fell through.
Even if the reasons they gave were legit, all that we wanted was open communication. My parents and I would have been understanding and we would have made accommodations.
But no, we were left totally in the dark believing in the words they promised and my parents suffered because of it. Finally after two weeks, the inspection was made and gas was turned on Jan 17, 2019.
That's THREE WEEKS my parents (who do not speak english and are 70 and 62) suffered in the dead of winter where temperatures dropped regularly into the 30's. It was so cold they needed multiple comforters to try and make it through the night.
They didn't deserve that kind of treatment, no one does. Unfulfilled promises, complete lack of communication, and what seems to be just an absence of respect and care after payment is how I would summarize this experience from a company that I really wanted to like.
As of today, the hole they dug up in the backyard to replace the pipeline still sits, unfilled. They said they would fill it the week of 21st-25th, today is the 26th.
I might recommend them for small repairs because their prices are unmatched. But beware of larger, longer projects that require open communication, they seem to drop the ball heavily on that.
Needed some assistance with an uncooperative toilet and Andrew arrived and quickly solved the problem. Awesome service as usual.
These guys were great the first time i used them. They were absolutely awesome that first time.
The second time ? not so much. I had a 4:30 appt on Friday so i took a 1/2 day at work off to accommodate that appt and they no-showed.
I didnt get an update till 9pm !! that they wouldnt show until the next day. (i was a little frustrated about the lack of communication.
but i understood the other job took longer than expected). I was then scheduled for an appt from 7-9am the next day..
at 8:17am i got a message he was heading out from Irving (sat morning). - all good still..
at 9:32 i got another message "almost there. getting gas".
(it doesn't take over an hour to go from irving to allen.. i drive to southlake from allen every weekday in rush hour and thats an hour)..
by 10am. they were still a no show..
missing their appt window again by at least over an hour. So I cancelled the appt and will call others to come out.
- my weekend time is valuable to me and my family too.. so was my 1/2 day off from work that i missed..
unfortunately things didn't work out so well our second visit. Back to the phones to find a plumber..
Andrew was a great guy. Upfront from the beginning of the repair.
In fact the repair turned out to be quite a bit more than expected but that wasn't an issue for Andrew. He walked us through the entire process of the repair and was very helpful.
Very thankful we found him. Will definitely use them again for all of my plumbing repairs.
There is still an honest plumber on the earth! :) I had my new water heater and a water pressure valve installed. He came on time.
Perfect job! Honest and reliable. Do you need a plumber? You found the best! You know when you advertise a 10 minute response time you should honor it.
I filled out an online request over 24 hours ago and never from them. Correction - the owner said he replied to the online yelp request within the time frame but to Yelp - I never came back to the computer because I was expecting a call from them.
That is the reason I left my phone number. Maybe we both learned something here? Did a good job repairing a water line leak under my drive way.
Charged me reasonably and got the job done quickly. Payment was easy and they left a detailed invoice of the charges.
My neighbor who owns several rental homes on the street was impressed so much that he got their information to use for his homes too. Thanks for your help Planet Earth Plumbing! Had after hours (10pm) emergency and they were great! Responded right away, kept in contact with us throughout, made a tough evening a lot better.
So grateful! Thank you again, Andrew. You truly are an awesome guy.
You've helped me and my family for years and I really appreciate your honesty and integrity. I am in the process of purchasing a home & needed a plumber to perform a hydrostatic test.
I requested a quote & Andrew responded quickly. He was able to make it to our prospective home & do the test.
He's answered ALL of my questions, even when I had questionable service from another plumber. Andrew's experience has made me incredibly confident in PEP & I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Seriously, this is one of the good guys! Absolutely amazing! Michael and his team arrived within 2 hours to take a look at our water heater, gave us a quick diagnosis, and a great deal on an AO Smith ProLine commercial grade water heater. The quoted price was also considerably less than other local plumbers.
My wife said that he was respectful, kind, and honest....highly recommend! Fixed my kitchen sink easily and were kind, courteous and taught me more about the issue and how to solve it without professional assistance! Would definitely use again These guys are awesome! After the blizzard companies were asking $500-$2000 just to show up and give me a quote. A friend recommended me to Planet Earth Plumbing.
Not only did they not price gouge me, they gave me a quote for FREE! I had already spent hundreds of dollars just to get quotes. Andrew and another young man came out and gave me a quote that was about $5000 less than the other companies that came out.
They did an absolutely amazing job! I recommended them to family and friends every since. Everyone has been incredibly happy with them.
Andrew even connected my grandmother with an AC guy that saved her thousands on new AC system. I can't say enough.
It's nice to finally find repair guys that aren't trying to bankrupt you and high quality work. We had a water heater leak and needing to be replaced and they came out right away did a great job Everyone else was so expensive and the owner Andrew was very reasonably priced extremely professional he's been doing this for a long time I would definitely recommend his company for your plumbing needs PLEASE LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE This started out like how a 5 star review would go, unfortunately it took a very bad turn.
Andrew came out to view out home and give us a quote, he showed up on time and was very personable while still being professional. We agreed on a price and set a date for the next Saturday for him to come out and install or whole home filter.
I called the Friday before (note that I called to confirm and did not receive a call) but was informed that he would have to reschedule due to an emergency. I totally understood and we agreed to re-book 2 weeks later.
Again I called the Friday before (also note that I called) to be informed that they could not make the appointment due to Andrew getting his wisdom teeth pulled.... I don't understand why Jamie (who usually answers the phone) would book an appointment knowing Andrew is having an operation the day before.
I chose to give Planet Earth one more chance, solely on our first interaction, called and booked to have the filter installed this morning. I again called yesterday to confirm, left a message and never got a call back.
I texted yesterday and never got a response back. Low and behold, no one showed up today to complete the job.
Either Planet Earth is so flush with customers that they don't care about making appointments or they just don't care. I am so frustrated with this whole experience and hope that this review saves others from the same troubles and let downs I went through.
Professional, courteous, and excellent customer service! Andrew called us ahead of time and let us know he would be a bit late but still got here in the 3 hour window the original appointment was set for. 5-star work and hands-down the best plumber I've had to come work at my home! They came out to fix my broken toilet but didn't even fix the issue! The toilet worked for literally the day they "fixed" it and went back to normal the next day.
I called them again to come back out and the guy didn't show. They should've re-fixed it for free since they didn't the first time.
Anyway, I ended up calling Michael Hairston and we discovered that Planet Earth uses very poor quality materials. Super happy I went with Michael and now my toilet woes are gone! * UPDATE: I never said I was scheduled "a long time ago" as the business owner makes it seem in his reply..
I specifically told him I was scheduled " a while ago" in response to a private message as in a couple months or few months ago (he said his last toilet appointment was September 26 and I told him that makes sense because I was scheduled a while ago, as in just because my review is in December doesn't mean my appointment wasn't around or before Sept. 26).
About the materials, I would think if this business used high quality parts that my toilet wouldn't have broken the next day! Clearly the "high quality parts" didn't fix the issue.. great experience! I had one of the emergency situation in the evening.
The water came out from the shower and water flow are very slow with bubbling sounds in the sinks and toilet. I sent my quote and got the response really quick.
He sent me messages and instructed me how to stop the water flow into our bedroom. Next day he called me ahead and showed up in the morning during our Scheduled period.
All issues fixed in 1 hour. I really appreciate it.
I don't often give reviews but these guys are seriously levels above plumbers I've used in the past. I had a water line break a few inches in the slab and had multiple plumbers come out to give quotes.
Not only was planet earth plumbing fair in pricing, there was no up-selling. They were extremely professional and kept me up to date on the progress.
After finishing they checked everything in the house to make sure all was good, have some advice on small repairs that I could do myself and not have to call them and cleaned up everything. Seriously, if you want an honest and fair plumber, give these guys a call.
Made an appt with Andrew to fix a leak in my kitchen and replace a faucet. He had to cancel our first appointment to take care of family, but made an appt to come back the following morning.
He was on time, replaced some rubber rings for me (instead of replacing the shut-off valves) to stop the leak, and offered to put my faucet in for free because he had to cancel on me the day before. He also told me which part to buy to fix a leak I have in my yard, and how to do it.
Another company gave me a $250 estimate to replace a part I bought on Amazon for $17. I estimate he saved us almost $350 for the plumbing jobs I had almost hired another company to do.
We will definitely use this company again. Great experience.
Fixed my plugged up kitchen sink on a weekend. Would not hesitate to call again.
After getting a few quotes to fix my water heater, I decided to go with Planet Earth Plumbing for three main reasons: very quick response to my quote on Yelp, very good reviews and very reasonable price - and I couldn't be happier! Andrew arrived on time, extremely professional and polite; he assessed and explained the issue to us and got our heater replaced in no time, for a very good deal. I can't recommend them enough.
:-) Andrew came over to reinstall a toilet. He worked fast and even gave me a better deal than I was originally quoted for because the work turned out to be simple.
I've had to deal with so many contractors in the last few months, and many of them didn't turn out to be honest people. So it's refreshing to get to work with someone who does a good job and gives you a great price.
Will definitely be using Planet Earth Plumbing again if we ever need a plumber. Fair price and the best service ever.
Highly recommended to anyone who has plumbing issue. You won't regret it.
The first time we used this company they were great .. the second time we scheduled an estimate to get a gas line installed for a new cook top as we wanted to switch from electric to gas.
They came out and gave an estimate, so we scheduled to do the work on a Friday.. I did some demo on our pantry wall so the gas line could be run and removed the old cook top..
I took off work Friday and they had to cancel, they rescheduled for Saturday which we had plans but we moved them around because we wanted the cook top.. Saturday came and they had to reschedule again.
So we rescheduled for Monday after I got off work .. they were a no show and no call ..
I had to find a diff plumber to do the work .. also I had gave them $300 up front to buy supplies ..
and had to ask a week later for my money back instead of them giving it back on their own .. they did refund my money promptly so I give them credit for that ..
I would not bother contacting this company .. this is not how business should be done.
Professional, on time and a fair price. If i gonna have a plumbing i'll definitely call them again than my home warranty.
Outstanding service! Andrew and team were amazing and we will definitely call again should we have a need. The price they charged was exactly what it should have been after I did my research and i couldn't be happier! Very friendly master plumber took care of the problem we were having with our shower quickly and expertly.
Scheduled everything in advance (was not an emergency) and was right on time. Highly recommended.
I have only remarkable things to say about Andrew and Planet Earth Plumbing. He has helped us several times now on two properties.
He is reliable, professional, trustworthy and provides value added advice and service at a great price. I always do my homework and shop around for quotes and reviews, you can't find better than Planet Earth Plumbing.
I can honestly count on him for any and all plumbing needs in the future. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
We've had him help change out 2 water heaters, change washer connections, replace faucets, and fix hose bips. I am a stickler for good communication and timeliness.
Highly recommend! I hate to write bad reviews and bring somebody down but thanks to this plumbing company , my job has been left undone for the last month and 10 days. Andrew has cancelled/ rescheduled/ not shown up exactly 6 times since we started trying to work with him.
We were extremely accommodating as the excuses included being sick/ breaking his hand/ car break down etc but finally realized that they were just extremely unprofessional and had a problem showing up to work...I had a simple job - 40 days and a slew of ph calls/ text messages later- its still undone...... we politely told him that we didn't need his services anymore.
They called me at 8am the morning of my appointment I had scheduled, I didn't answer the phone because I was asleep, so they give no other opportunity and just cancel my appointment. I was never told that if I didn't answer a single random phone call the morning of my appointment then it would be cancelled.
What kind of business does that? I call back when I wake up and some lady just tells me sorry you didn't answer the phone so you're going to have to reschedule. Next available is 3 days from now.
What a joke. The lady on the phone was extremely rude talking to me like I was some idiot, learn some people skills please.
Yesterday when I got out of the shower there was water all over the bathroom floor and bedroom when I got done. After finally drying up all the water that had gone everywhere I needed to find help with the problem (open up yelp app, search plumbers).
Unfortunately it was the weekend and getting a hold of a plumber was difficult. NOT with Andrew and Planet Earth Plumbing.
I called and left a message and received a prompt return (I called around 9 am on a Sunday morning) Just getting in touch with someone was a big relief after trying a couple other plumbers. Andrew was able to get out there the same day and they do not charge any type of service fee for it being the weekend/outside of business hours.
He was prompt, friendly and figured out the problem was a backup in the main line very quickly. Within less than an hour he had the problem fixed.
I would also be surprised if his prices could be beat. Incredibly affordable!!!!! I used Yelp to find Planet Earth plumbing and other than the one user who clearly signed up for yelp to post what appeared to be an off based review (you know who you are) I agree with all the other positive reviews.
Thanks yelpers and thanks Andrew for all the help! I found them on Yelp after being lied to about same day installation at Home Depot. Andrew answered my call and made I made an appt.
to have a new water heater installed. Planet Earth's service is most excellent.
Appointment was on time. George was polite and knowledgeable.
Andre dropped by to bring the heater. They gave us a better one than he quoted yet didn't charge us extra.
I'll be calling them for other plumbing services in the near future. Contacted them on Saturday and they were able to come out on Monday.
Helped us on Saturday by talking us through a temporary fix for our hot water circulator, which had gone out. Clean, professional and prompt.
Showed up with shoe covers on to come in the house. Reasonably priced.
Andrew and team came to install my new kitchen faucet. Had the best price.
Half of what others were asking. Work was quick and clean and they kept calling me to let me know they were on the way.
I will def use him again. I tried to hook up my washer and broke a pipe.
Really frustrated. Called a few plumbers and no one would be able to come until afternoon of the next day.
Called Andrew at almost 11:00 PM. He was probably sleeping and didn't answer.
But he called back and left a voice message and a text around midnight, offering help if still needed. We then had a short call about the issue and he came the next day at 7:30 AM.
Totally saved my ass! He even drove to home depot and lowes to get replacement parts when he saw that mine were not the right ones. That's how you do business.
I rarely see people as helpful as Andrew these days. Pretty sure shortly everyone in Plano would ask him to work on plumbing issues.
We needed two constantly dripping exterior faucets repaired. Soooooo glad we found Andrew on Yelp! He was easy to reach and communicate with, flexible with appointment scheduling, and very reasonably priced.
He was knowledgeable, did a good job explaining what needed to be done and why. He even went on to explain maintenance issues and how to prevent additional expenses.
Clogged kitchen drain? Fixed!!! On time and reasonable New outside hose faucet? Fixed!!! On time and reasonable Our new go to plumber Today was our third time to use Planet Earth. They are consistently responsive, reliable, and honest.
The first time, they replaced an old upstairs (attic) hot water heater that we were concerned about due to age. That was quite a task! The second time, they did a difficult repair in the wall behind our washing machine.
Home warranty co. was doing a lot of excuse-making (and wouldn't cover much of the cost...typical), so we called Planet Earth instead.
They came out quickly and again worked hard, in a tight space, to get the job done well. Plus, they charged much less than we were quoted by the warranty co.
Today, we discovered that our old downstairs hot water heater had gone out before we had a chance to replace it (which we have been meaning to do). We called Planet Earth without even bothering to call home warranty co.
(which we plan to cancel). They rearranged their afternoon schedule (which involved rescheduling an appointment for an estimate, AFTER discussing with that person first) so that they could come today.
We now have hot water again! They are our go-to plumbing company. Highly recommend!! Great price!!! Great service!!!! First two plumbers I called couldn't come until after 5:00 and both had $220 hourly rates with one hour minimum.
I called Planet Earth next. Family run business and owner Andrew was at my house lickety split!! He charges a flat rate for labor of $75.
He boasts no after-hours charges and availability any day, any time. He was done in 15 minutes and even saved me from a house fire by catching a terrible fire hazard.
He can take credit card payments by phone and is happy to communicate with landlords, spouses, or whoever might want an explanation of the service he provided. SUPPORT THIS GUY!!! HE'S WORTH IT! Thanks, Andrew! If you're in need of a plumber then look no further.
This should be your "go to" company. Our water heater went out and Andrew and team showed up promptly and fixed the job professionally and for a very good price.
Fiver stars and thumbs up!!!! Great service and very fair pricing. This is the type company I like to do business with.
I had a water heater problem and they responded within hours. I didn't feel like they took advantage of me what so ever on the price and was assured if there were any issues in the future to just give them a call and they would take care of them.
Jorge explained the issue and told me what needed to be done. He suggested the best solution and told me what it would cost.
He replaced both water heaters and we were back up and running in less than 4 hours. Very professional and courteous employee.
When he was finished with the work, Jorge left the area cleaner than it was before. Andrew, you have hard working, professional, and courteous employee in Jorge.
I will call again when I have my next plumbing issue. My hot water heater went out Friday afternoon.
Planet Earth squeezed me in and was very professional as well as very reasonably priced. Very pleased and they will be my go to plumbing company.
Very satisfied. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The owner, Andrew, was quick to respond to our calls/texts.
He arrived exactly on time and was the only plumbing company to return my call within the hour! Andrew stopped our hot water heater from leaking on Saturday and returned on Monday to replace the unit. He was quick, friendly, honest and priced competitively.
We will need to replace our second hot water heater soon (12 years old ) and will be using Planet Earth Plumbing again. Andrew seemed very nice at first and agreed to do the plumbing job at my house renovation.
When he came back to start the job I saw the look on his face that this is a big job. I didn't think much of it and left to buy faucets at home depot.
When I came back he was not there. He just disappeared and never returned any of my phone call.
What started as a nice first meeting turned into very unpleasant finish. For couple days I thought he might be coming back the next day to start the job, I didn't know that he just decided to ditch me.
The office lady stopped returning my emails as well. They could have just told me , it's too big of a job and I would have understood, or asked for more money.
But to simply disappear like that is extremely unprofessional. My remodel got delayed by 1 week due to this negligence.
do not trust these people. jessica will ignore your calls and tell you lies the owner will make false promises and will not call back.
Horrible customer service experience this week. Remember - the expectation is that you're at their disposal and need to be glued to your phone throughout the appointment window; the fact that an appointment was made, a week plus ahead of timer hat they have rescheduled once already, has no bearing on whether they'll actually show up.
The excuse is that "you didn't pick up our call and he's now out of the area" - all before the appointment window is actually over. I'm very disappointed to receive this customer service in spite of being a repeat customer...
Andrew, I like the work that you do and how knowledgeable you are, but you have to fix your scheduling system to continue receiving good reviews in the future. Andrew was definitely a nice guy to speak with, but my overall experience with Planet Earth Plumbing was horrible.
I have a house pending sale and needs to have the hot shower fixed in one of the bathrooms. I contacted Andrew online and scheduled for an appointment to fix the shower cartridge on 8/24.
Andrew showed up that day and upon inspecting the faucet, told me he needs a special tool to do the work. He left and promised to get back with me that day.
I waited whole day at the old house and did not hear anything back. I called in to check on the status next day and was told by the receptionist lady that the 'special tool' was on order and they will schedule me for the following Friday (8/31) to get it fixed.
Coming 8/31, I took a day off work waiting for Andrew to come and was notified in the afternoon by a text that Andrew was out of town. At that time I have a final house inspection lined up the next day and a broken shower still not fixed.
With Labor Day long weekend coming up, I have to spend extra $$ and effort to find another plumbing company to request for an 'emergency fix' to get everything fixed. I waited 2 full weeks for Planet Earth Plumbing and they let me down.
I called requesting an estimate and received an appointment for the following day. The plumber was very prompt and wonderful to work with! He was very upfront with the cost and provided me with the best course of action to save me money.
I ended up not having the plumber fix anything within my home this time around, but if I have any problems in the future I will definitely use Planet Earth Plumbing! We have had two plumbing issues lately and they have been the absolute best. Planet Earth is professional, quick and honest.
I will never use anyone else! Kyle Wade came out to my house and did the line camera that had been recommended by Planet Earth Plumbing. I texted and email request to provide a quote but no response from the company at all.
We wasted time and money and no result to get a quote or help to fix the broken pipes. We so made and very disappointed with the level of customer service.
We lost the trust and would never want to use Planet Earth Plumbing, therefore we give 1 star since we can't give a zero. I got nothing but great things to say.
I have worked with Andrew for 3 years now and he never fails. From kitchen sinks to my leaky toilets andrew is the only plumber I will use.
This time though my water heater started leaking so I called Jessica the dispatcher she was very professional and did a great job working me into their schedule. Andrew came out the following morning with his helper and they installed the new water heater in 45 minutes.
He is very professional and makes sure to keep you in the loop with everything he's doing. After it was all said and done he wrote me up an invoice and it was priced very fair.
Thank you Andrew! Planet Earth Plumbing is the place you should call for fixing any plumbing problems. I agree with all previous 5 stars reviews.
Andrew & his team are excellent. We need the water heater replaced and he replaced the new one for us with a very reasonable price.
He is the best professional plumber I've ever seen. Last month, I called DeWolfe's Affordable Plumbing to fix the hot water of 2 bathtubs located on the second floor.
The guy charged me $400 to fix it...biggest rip off. I wished that I know Andrew earlier.
I keep Andrew's phone number for future use. I will definitely recommend his company for all my relatives & friends.
Thanks Andrew & Planet Earth Plumbing team. I wish you & your family (especially your lovely daughter) lots of heath & full of luck.
Excerllent job and reasonable price. Our pipe outside te house was leaking and the front yard was flooded.
They were able to fix it within a couple of hours on a Sunday. Highly recmend! Andrew took care of a clogged drain fast and easy.
He voluntarily offered a discount for the issue not being as bad as he initially thought. Thank you.
Andrew was excellent. We recently called him after a really bad experience with another company.
He came over and checked out our sewer leak (already identified by previous company), explained his proposed solution (without talking down to us!) and gave us a quote that was a quarter of the cost of the competition (we had already received several bids). I really appreciated that his quote came in the form of a "not to exceed" $x amount of money.
It really eased our fears that he only gave us a low quote up front only to "find" more problems to hike up the cost. In the end they had to dig farther than planned and even had to re-level a tunnel, but the bill came in exactly as quoted.
They were done in 3 days and filled everything back in beautifully, even adding some of the extra dirt around the sides of our foundation for us. So happy to have found an honest, capable plumber - thanks Andrew! Andrew is the best.
I requested a quote online and received one back within 10 minutes. Then, he came onsite to look at the job and confirmed that his quote was accurate.
The water heater that was replaced was in the attic of a 3-story town home. He completed the job in around 3 hours and installed a Floodstop device to reduce the risk of flooding if the unit ever leaks.
Excellent communication, great prices and outstanding service. Will definitely use him again for future needs.
We used them again for our own home. Same amazing service! We also recommended them to a friend in Plano and they were really grateful for the reference.
Planet Earth came through for me. The job ended up being harder than we originally thought, but these guys stuck to their guns and got it done within the original estimate.
Very professional, clearly identified the issue and fixed it right. Andrew is so good he makes it look easy! I've had him come out twice now for 3 different issues and he is the best.
Fair priced and fast. Great honest company , dealt with Andrew , he came on Sunday within 10 minutes and charged $20 because it was just a switch that needed to be turned on.
We had Dallas plumbing ( the biggest rip off company , hate the fact I paid so much money to them over the years , they nickel and dime you for everything) quote us $250 just to come out on Sunday. I wish I knew about Andrew and his company sooner , can't recommend enough.
Call him you will not be disappointed. Andrew is great.
I'd give them a 6/5 if possible. We had a bathtub drain slowly plug up over 6 years since a renovation.
Andrew came out and ran a power snake but didn't help. They checked the crawl space and found the renovation plumber had the new PVC running uphill, so it slowly filled with sand etc and plugged.
It was late in the day and didn't have the supplies so arranged another day to repair it. They cut a cast drain pipe, repaired PVC and gave a 10 year warranty.
It should work fine forever. Andrew made 2 trips, 3 guys, nearly 6 hours of time here, the price was excellent.
Everyone left their shoes outside, cleaned up everything, and were great to work with. I called the renovation plumber who said they have a 1 year warranty.....
Even for mistakes they make! The bottom line I highly recommend Andrew to everyone.'''.
