Overall great experience! When I initially called, I was worried after several steep quotes. I spoke to Vicky, she was extremely polite and understanding. She got me an appointment the same day. When Tim & his coworker arrived to my home, they were also very polite & understanding. I could tell that they weren’t trying to take advantage of me and wanted to ensure they got the job done!

I own 201+ rental properties in the Bay Area, a commercial building in Tampa and have used them for my personal home as well! They are quick to respond and have always given great service. Prices are very good. They respond to after hours calls promptly! They have responded and scheduled same day service in most all cases. Highly recommend.

Totally disappointed with the cost of the installation of a new water heater. Inspection to confirm leaking, that will be $242.67. Cost of new water heater $787.63 that includes three adapters. Cost of unit from Home Depot $439.00. Model # in photos. Roughly 80% markup. That is after the installer bought the wrong heater and had to get the proper size. Labor for roughly four hours $893.33, for a job that should take about two hours at the most. Associated Plumbing doesn't even a person answering the phone. Message is "We'll call you the next business day", that's at 3pm on a Wednesday. I was going through my property management firm hoping for some oversight but apparently that did not happen.

Came in January to unclog toilet. Did not finish the job & needed to come back next day. Never came back. Wax ring was not on toilet and toilet was not caulked to ground. I called next day to get job finished and no response. I called another company and they came out and completed the job. Then today Associated Plumbing called saying that I had an outstanding $300 bill and needed to pay it immediately. They never in the past SEVEN MONTHS called, emailed or sent a mailed invoice until today (July 26th!). But today they were demanding money over the phone immediately. I explained that the job wasn't completed and that this phone call today was aggressive and terse and the first time I am hearing of a bill due. I am not giving you my card information over the phone for an incomplete job that was SEVEN months ago with no prior billing or communication. I needed them to provide me with proof that they finished the job and proof that they had contacted me previously regarding the invoice. He then hung up the phone on me. Edited to add in response to the owner: please provide the invoice and prior attempts to contact as I requested on the phone today. I have never stated that I will not pay, just that I will not give you personal information over the phone and that I need the invoice, photos and prior proof of contact. You have not responded to me regarding this request directly, instead choosing to only respond to my google review. Instead, you are THREATENING to send a customer to collections PUBLICLY as a response. Do you not see that this is terrible customer service? This is, in fact, showing exactly what I am stating in my review and will hopefully be enough proof for the next possible customer to STAY AWAY.

My property needed different jobs in the water heater area, so I hired a company for such a service that at the same hired Associated Plumbing Inc. Associated Plumbing Inc., came and took the water heater off advising that it should be changed to a new one. I bought the water heater from a different place because Associated Plumbing Inc. price was twice as much as the other place (same water heater). I asked them exactly the parts needed, but the response was mediocre, vague or not even responsive. When we finally agreed on a date to install the water heater, they send me an email the next day stating "At this time our owner does not wish to proceed with this or any other work mentioned" To summarize their services: unprofessional, mediocre, expensive, lack of proper communication, lack of customer service.

I would give -1 star if it was available. Very dishonest and unprofessional. Pipes so called they fixed blowed up and caused my house to be flooded!!! Hired another company to fix the mess they did. They could not believe the cheap work they have done. BE VERY AWARE OF THIS COMPANY. Do not let them step into your property without providing their Insurance Information. On top of that while they cause to flood my house, they have guts to turn around and claim my house was flooded already so it s ok not to provide their insurance information. But guess what, I have all their visits n work quality recorded on camera. Preparing the case with my lawyer. I ll see them at court !!!

Did not receive a service from this company, however, one of the employees from this company was driving very recklessly on the road during rush hour in the rain. He tailgated me and cut off other drivers while speeding. He also pulled up next to me and was disrespectful by trying to intimidate me by scowling at me. If this company can't teach their employees professionalism and ethical conduct on the road, there is no way they would provide quality service! *Note in the response below how they call me a liar and say that this incident never happened. True unprofessionalism.

We had a plumbing/sewer issue that was very frustrating from the time we moved into our new home. We had two different visits by previous plumbers and the situation just wouldn’t resolve. Abraham and Tim of Associated Plumbing came out and immediately solved our issue! They were both very kind, knowledgeable, and quick. Abraham took the time to explain to me exactly what he knew was causing the ,previously unknown, issue and they both took action immediately. I highly recommend Associated Plumbing for any plumbing issues, big or small! Thank you Abraham and Tim!

I give it two stars because the work was done properly. I give it 0 stars for the amount of money charged which doubled what we were quoted. They sent and billed for two men because that was who was in the area. They billed for three and a half hours for a combined labor total of $623.33. One and a half hours of this was for them to get parts and get lunch. So I paid for lunchtime. We contacted to dispute the bill but received no call back until 90 days later when its too late for us to contest the charges.

Took the afternoon off from work after making arrangements the day before for a time window. No call, no show. Called them, no answer and no return call. If you have a job, or value your time, probably not the right match. And then they leave BS about how you are a liar in their response, see below. You never showed up to my house, we had an appointment. Stop lying to people that read reviews about how bad you are.

The incident occurred today August 10 at 3:30pm. The plumber parked in my private driveway while servicing next door neighbors house at Westpark. There is plenty of parking on the street. I asked him why he is parked in my driveway and he just ignored me. I have video of him pulling out and park in the neighbors driveway. He is lucky he didn’t get towed.

The people at Associated Plumbing are efficient, fast, and get the job done. I ask them to visit our offices all over the Tampa area and they are usually there the same day. Vikki (one of the office staff) is AMAZING. She makes stuff happen like nobody's business and has saved my butt on various occasions. Great company.

Two gentlemen, one from St.Thomas, USVI, where I once lived, solved three water leaks and tried to restore cold water in my shower, waiting for results. They were caring and focused, had access to parts. Thank you for your service! George Green The Palms at Ashley Oaks TPA, FL

This is a great company! We use them for all our plumbing needs at our apartment community and they always manage to take great care of us. They are there when they say they are going to be. Would highly recommend them.
