The might be good if they ever show up for the job.
Called about a plugged kitchen drain Friday after Thanksgiving and were very glad to get an appointment between noon and 3pm same day. The plumber never came in the scheduled time.

Called them again and were told the plumber tried to call us. This is not true. My wife and I were both home all day and if for some unforeseen reason we missed his call our answering machine was on and we have caller ID. The office said they would call us back if they needed to reschedule.

Never got the promised call back, so we have a plugged kitchen sink all

Bruce and team from Aptos plumbing communicates quickly and explained the cost and price of equipment and labor on the phone. Compared to other professionals in the industry they absolutely do not rip you off by overcharging. Very reasonable cost for everything.
They came on time for the appointment and did a fantastic job on demo and removal of an old toilet. They cleaned everything up and then set up the space for a new toilet install. Installation is very professional and quick. The caulking job around the base of the toilet is perfection. Before leaving, we chatted about quality and cleaning

Bruce and his team are incredibly helpful and honest.

He also has deep expertise, esp in the area of tankless water heaters. He saved me hundreds of dollars in an unnecessary installation that other plumbers assessed. He really knows his stuff!

His approach to helping the customer with solutions the customer needs (not just a solution that makes money foe the business) is refreshing. I will call him again for future problems.

Horrible customer service. Reached out to get a quote and never head back from them. Reached out again about a month later and was provided with a very high quote. When I asked for only partial services to be completed they denied and said it was a waste of time for them and they weren't interested in working with us. Would not recommend this company at all.

I'd recommend finding a better plumber if you're reading this.

Really great people, very personable and knowledgeable-- tried to save us money and didn't charge us for a little side thing I needed done. Showed up on time and was eager to explain what was wrong. Reasonably priced. Earned our business tenfold. Highly recommend this company.

I thought the bath tub was leaking and after the poor plumber came out in 5 seconds he reviewed it and showed me that there was in deed hot water coming out. The previous plumber didn't know what he was talking about. These guys are smart and knowledgable. Highly recommend.

We needed a new sink and garbage disposal put in ASAP. Bruce and his crew came in, replaced our sink and disposal no problem. Its amazing how it looks. The only part that required patience was making sure to let the caulk dry 24 hours after. Once that time passed game on. Sink is awesome. Disposal is church mouse quiet. (OK, I may be exaggerating some.) Quality job! Wife has stop complaining about the sink. Headache is gone. Hope she doesn't see this. I will be calling Aptos Plumbing for any future needs. Thanks!

Bruce and team (Ariel & others), came out and installed a tankless water heater, whole house water softener, entire new set up of PEX to replace all our pipes under the house and removed our old water heater tank. It was a big job and they a fantastic job. Ariel was the lead on our job and he was great. Easy to work with and very good at their job. Bruce was great, you can tell he knows what he is doing and cares about doing the job the RIGHT way and having employees that know what they're doing. Sabrina the front desk is prompt at returning calls and getting urgent service if needed.

My kitchen sink faucet went from a tiny leak to a waterfall leaving me scrambling to pull the disorganized mess of cleaning products and stuff that shouldn't have ever been under there (don't judge me) out and shove a bucket that I hoped was lined up with the torrential flow of H2O. Now comes the fun part. Call the landlord, wait for a reply...can't get anybody there for like a week. Seriously?! Wait, it gets better. So when they finally send someone, it's a handyman with new boxed faucet under arm and none of the right tools. I spent the next two hours listening to some rather

I've used Aptos Plumbing twice.

The first experience was great. Bruce quoted and Tony did the work. I had a leaking bathtub and they diagnosed the situation and replaced the valve. As is typical with plumbers they didn't fix the drywall (I did this myself).

The second experience was part of a major remodel which changed direction for no fault of Aptos Plumbing. I'm currently waiting for a call back from Todd about getting a refund for payments I made ahead of completion of work. I fully expect Aptos Plumbing will continue to be professional and will update this review if

This is the best Plumber in all SC. Honest, affordable, professional, accessible even on weekends! I've tried several outfits in our area, Todd is THE BEST ! Most plumbers try to rip ppl off, but not Aptos Plumbing. I was impressed, and will definitely call again if needed.

I just had a hot water heater installed from Aptos Plumbing after my basement flooded when my old one died. They worked me into their busy schedule to accommodate my emergency; the owner Bruce came out personally the same day to stanch the water flow and get it draining properly and explained the whole process to me. His crew had the new one in the next day. All at a very fair and reasonable price! Their customer service was courteous and professional as was their installation. After a bad experience a few years back with one of their competitors, I am thrilled to find a plumbing service that

Bruce and his team were very responsive and ready to work. We had decreased hot water pressure throughout the house with our galvanized pipes. He suggested we replace a few connections and that should fix it, which it turned out not to solve the issue. He then suggested to replace all the old pipes under the house, which in fact solved the problem. Way more costly than anticipated, but it is what it is. Where my experience went south was when he called to tell me that one of the pipes going to the bathroom had broken in their repair and they would have to replace it in with new pipe. I OK&apos

Hi-I have an update to the review posted below from a few weeks ago. After I posted it, Todd, one of the co-owners reached out to me. He said that my review was the first that he learned of the situation, and he offered to get Ariel to do the work. I appreciated his directness and Ariel came and finished the job. So I'm changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars. They still misdiagnosed my leak and I shouldn't have had to deal with all of the hassle to get the contract honored, but Todd came correct and I want to acknowledge that. Final note of constructive criticism: everyone needs to

Super happy with the professional installation, knowledgeable personnel, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Bruce was very helpful and never rushed. Not the least expensive bid, but was the most comprehensive and explained. That's why I went with them. I had a new water heater and water softener installed and I'm excited to see how they perform. I will check back in after I see these two appliances in action. Thank you Aptos plumbing for being customer friendly. I recommend them.

Real Estate Agents do not call Aptos Plumbing! They refuse to work with realtors. And I need the job done right away! Oh well they just lost out on $1100 of my business!
