What reviewers report — the concerns
Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.
Red flag
High demand may cause booking delays; one reviewer wanting immediate service was told Joseph was heavily booked, though willing to schedule when available
“Spent 30 minutes reviewing photos, troubleshooting, outlining scenarios”
Labor charges appear high relative to job scope; one reviewer paid ~$300 for 5 minutes of labor to replace a $1 part, finding the pricing unreasonable despite successful completion
“$300 for 5 minutes labor and $1 part doesn't make sense”
Keep it in proportion: these concerns are cited in 2 of the 5 reviews we analyzed. Most reviewers report positive experiences — see the full rating picture below.
The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Thank you for coming soon and fix the problem but… almost $300 for changing just a knob of a sink shut off valve doesn’t seem right to me. Sorry guys, I could have left you 5 stars but that the labor (5 minutes) and cost of the replacement part (probably $1) doesn’t make any sense.”
Positive
“Sorry it took so long for this review. I've used John's plumbing twice and the most recent time on 4/9/26. I have nothing to say except for great service and I would highly recommend. Personable, respectful, knowledgeable and quick resolutions to you issues.”
“This company came out in a timely fashion and got the job done in 1 day. Price was great for brand new equipment and instalation plus clean up! Would definitely use again and recommend in near future thanks again for great job.”
