Marcus Fenix

Hired to do work on a bathroom. The communication was very poor. Had no idea when the guy would come and go as the job took several days. One time our guy showed up at 7am unannounced. Didn't communicate well about working with our tile guy either and got upset when a shower part was moved but no one told us about it.
There was personal property damage that was only apologized for by "getting a discount off the next job" which they of course forgot about.

Decided to give them a second chance. Again, a different guy did the job and didnt communicate well and when there was an avoidable dispute over the billing the main boss contacted me directly about the integrity of the worker. This was before the job was completed and made the final day tense.

Also the deal they rope you in for a year is annoying. The other day I saw one of their vans flying down the freeway at 85+mph outside fairlawn.

We also get spammed with ads liked crazy from them almost on the same level as Spectrum does.

We tried to be very understanding and forging but the 5.0 rating is artificial. Will not be hiring again. Go to Blind and Sons, much better and more professional experience

I was very pleased with the work done by Buddy’s Plumbing Excellence. Kevin, the tech who installed my water softener, was kind and very knowledgeable about the work being performed. And he completed the job within the timeframe he said he would. I am so glad I found this plumbing company. I will definitely use them in the future!

Came home from a trip and found our sump-pump battery back-up system had failed. Even though it was late in the day, Evan worked through the evening to complete the repair! Anthony has a great crew working for him!

Have used them a couple times and both times I have had quick reliable service ! Staff have always been super nice and informative. Work has held up and have never had any issues with completed jobs. Price seems fair, and I plan on using them for all my future jobs ! A+++

I discovered an inch of (clean) water in mother-in-law's basement and did not hear the sump pump running - after heavy rains for days.

I called Tony (owner) and he sent Evan - who was very professional, knowledgeable, and informative. He not only explained that the (very) old sump pump had completely failed, he showed me why: the very very old iron outlet pipe had cracked and then sheared off, forcing the pump to work non-stop 24x7 until it burned out. Evan removed the old pump, float and pipes and then installed the new pump, float, and pipes. The water, now 3 inches deep, was all pumped out in under an hour.

The price was reasonable, and I have confidence in the work in part due to the effective explanations Evan provided.

Fortunately, a year before we had emptied the basement and there was nothing on the floor to be ruined by the storm water.

Anthony worked with me on the price which I really appreciated. Jocelyn made my appointment and was so pleasant to talk to. Jonathan knew exactly what to do to bring a natural gas line out from my basement to my deck. He did a great job! I highly recommend this company.

We had two different plumbing companies telling us that they fixed the problem. They didn't! We didn't get any refund either. Plumbing Excellence found the problem and resolved the issue. Very professional and would recommend them to anyone!!

I had water back up through my downstairs toilet. Called a different plumber who snaked the line and ran a camera to find a belly in my line. They said fixing it would likely involve tearing up my concrete basement floor, but wanted to charge me $564.44 to "camera and locate" the belly just to give me an estimate on the repair. That sounded crazy expensive to me to pay almost $600 to get an estimate after they had allegedly already identified the belly.

I called Plumbing Excellence for a second opinion. Jocelyn answered the phone and was very pleasant and helpful. She got me on the schedule the very next morning. The technician, Justin, arrived on time and ran the camera, identified the issue AND the location, and only charged me the $89 service call fee. The issue is not under my basement but in the yard and won't require them to tear up my basement floor. The estimate was very reasonable for the size of the job. They also gave me a narrated video of the camera work that explained the issue and what needed to be fixed.

I was very pleased with my experience with Plumbing Excellence. I highly recommend them. They will be getting my plumbing business from now on.

Cecelia McDonald

This is a great business to call if you have any type of plumbing problems. Their service techs do a great job. We had Grant today and he was fast and efficient. And when I called in yesterday to get an appointment, Jocelyn made sure we got one the very next day. She handles all the calls and appointments.

Parker Casto

I used this plumbing company to flush my hot water tank. The technician was nice and knew what he was doing. He made sure to follow the steps to drain it out and also bleed out the air in the faucet after it filled up.
After speaking with the manager, he explained that it's routine for them to give additional options for appliances and services. The technician quoted me an electric anode rod install and membership.
It did make me feel a little overwhelmed by the price after these quotes, so I did decline them. I think it would be a better approach to print out pamphlets or email them to customers to review and look into upgraded parts or options. That way they can do their own research and decide if they want to go with them before spending the extra money.
I do recommend this company if you have plumbing needs, and the manager said he will take my advice about the pamphlets and look into doing that.

Repiping Services Customized for Akron Residents

At Buddy’s Plumbing Excellence, we know that each home has different needs. This is why we provide white-glove service that is designed to cater to each client on an individual basis.

Once we meet with you and assess your home, we’ll be able to come up with a plan that addresses any urgent issues. We’ll also be able to see which materials have been used to pipe your home in the past — and which ones you may want to consider in the future.

Are you dealing with copper pipes that have been in use for several decades, or are you not thrilled about the state of your galvanized steel pipes? We’ve seen every kind of material under the sun, and we’d love to work with you on a new piping plan.

Repiping Material Options for Akron

PEX: Many homeowners these days are fans of PEX piping, which is especially suited for winter months. While other types of pipes may freeze, PEX boasts definite advantages — and it’s also less labor-intensive during installation.

Copper: There’s a reason why the ancients started using copper for pipes! Copper’s reputation of reliability and longevity is extraordinary. Naturally resistant to the slings and arrows of Mother Nature, this magnificent metal is a great option.

Stainless Steel, CPVC and More: Again, every homeowner has their own particular needs. When we consult with you, we’ll find out whether alternative materials might work for your situation. Our goal is to provide you with pipes that are reliable and safe for the long haul.

You call. We come. It's fixed. Guaranteed.

If you have a leak, we will find it — no matter how tiny. We specialize in providing permanent solutions, not quick fixes that will only work for a few weeks.

True Professionals: We bring a lot to the table — including years and years of experience with repiping homes. Licensed and bonded, we’re highly knowledgeable about every facet.

Akron Experts: As your local plumbing mavens, we are familiar with each neighborhood. We probably already know more about your home’s construction — and plumbing materials — than you do! As your neighbors, we are aware of what the weather has been like recently.

Upfront Pricing: When you work with Buddy’s, there are no hidden fee. It’s our goal to always be transparent and honest with you about how much the repiping is going to cost.

Excellent Materials: For us, repiping starts with the actual materials. We source the highest quality piping materials and fittings. Your safety is of the utmost importance to us — and so is the performance of your home’s piping.

Courteous and Conscientious: We realize that you’re busy, which is why we adhere to the agreed-upon schedule and work tirelessly to stay on track. We also keep our workspace as clean as we possibly can.

Do I Really Require a Full Repiping?

Although it can be daunting to think about repiping your entire home, it can come with significant benefits, including the following:

Better Water Pressure: Do you crave a hot shower with excellent water pressure? Consider repiping.

Stop Emergencies Before They Start: Stop a pipe from bursting — before it causes a crisis.

Cleaner Water: New pipes provide fresher water. Old pipes with degraded materials will sometimes release toxins into your plumbing system.

Efficiency: Get yourself an up-to-date plumbing system that can support all of your state-of-the-art appliances!

Higher Property Value: Potential homebuyers love to see upgraded plumbing!

At Buddy’s we pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest tech. Whether that’s buying certain pieces of equipment or making use of mapping tech to plan your project, we employ these tools to make the repiping go as well — and as quickly — as possible. Our wall cuts are extremely precise. And if we can provide trenchless solutions, we will do so. It’s all about keeping the homeowner happy.
