“We noticed a leak last night on Christmas. Called first thing this morning and after being told from multiple people it would be days to weeks for someone to come out, Schlueter answered and said they could be here today. Not even two hours later, someone is out here diagnosing our issue, fixing it, and giving us peace of mind again.”

“After having a new water heater installed in mid-January, I recently noticed a natural gas smell from around the water heater. I closed the gas valve at the water heater and called Schlueter Plumbing on a Saturday. They arrived within 2 hours to tightened one of the pipe unions and stopped the leak. There was no charge for the repair since they recently installed the water heater.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“They did show up. The simple problem was fixed. However I was charged excessively for the job. They saw a huge house & tried to take advantage of me. My father was a master contractor. He could have fixed this in less than an hour. I was charged $538. Because I have roommates I felt forced to pay this amount. But I do know I was overcharged.

“They have done few jobs for us, including installing front and back hose faucets outside our house. The front faucet was loose after being installed and they came out and fixed it.

He installed it for me same day and now …”
