The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Highly disappointed in the lack of professionalism today. Judy left me a message at 10:05 that Mark was on his way. I called back at 10:20 to confirm, and she told me it was too late, that Mark had knocked on my door 45 minutes earlier. That's not true, because I was outside working. Asked if she would contact the tech and send him back. She said no. Most of the positive reviews are about a plumber named Joe (who …”
“My family just purchased a home in the VM Ybor neighborhood and encountered a pretty bad plumbing problem. We contacted Olin after doing some research on local plumbing companies. Joe, one of their reps came out and assisted us. He seemed pleasant, diagnosed the problem, and began fixing it. After he left we were presented with numerous issues. First, we were not updated on status of the project. We had a huge hole …”
“Service was very unprofessional and over priced. I felt like the guy doing the work hated his job or just didn't care. I called because my main sewage drain was backing up periodically on the house built in 98. The plumber came and we inundated the system to cause the backup that was frequently plaguing us.

Positive
“I was very pleased with the work performed by Jesus. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem.”
“Olin Plumbing came out to check on a leaking irrigation pipe. They were earlier than originally scheduled, professional, and fair. The plumber who came out (David) was knowlegeable and took time to help me understand the issue. I would definitely recommend Olin Plumbing.”
