Toilets are often overlooked until a malfunction becomes disruptive. Internal leaks, failing seals, and loose mounting can cause water loss and property damage. Signs such as floor moisture or ceiling marks below the fixture require attention. We provide reliable toilet repair and replacement services to maintain safe, efficient operation.

Mike was on time, very knowable and work in an efficient manner. The cost for two hours worth of work for a skilled plumber and helper was almost $950.00. To expensive to use for any future work.

Very quick and very kind. Helped me to verify what was going on as a second opinion and of course both them and the people at honest Abe were right about my aquastat. Mike really took the time to hear me out and was sensitive to my obvious lack of financing. I highly recommend both him and the individual on the phone were very helpful.

Metcalf Plumbing services were provided by two plumbers who were very meticulous and persistent with efforts to detect the root cause of a plumbing leak from bathroom above dining room. Not able to detect the cause, they suspect the leakage, in theory, may have been caused by defective wax ring. They thoroughly and closely examined the pipes above dining room ceiling, finding insufficient evidence of cause, even with running water in shower and flushing toilet multiple times. If leakage reoccurs, there will be a followup service call. I am happy with their high quality of work and professionalism.

Excellent service! Mike and Jonathan were really nice and explained everything that they were doing. This first experience with Metcalf Plumbing and please consider me a new customer.

Very professional. They wore booties and cleaned up the work area. They offered to come the same day but that actually didn't work for me, so they came a couple days later. They fixed some poor workmanship done by a prior plumber as well as taking care of the acute problem. Mike worked tirelessly until it was taken care of. I am very grateful. I would wholeheartedly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again.

These guys saw me pushing my car and they pulled over and got out and helped me push my car to safety. I think this one small action speaks volumes on the kind of service you can expect from them.

The job required more work than expected. They didn't try to charge me more. There were some valves that were concerning to me , but they assured me they were in good shape and didn't try to sell me work that wasn't necessary. I will use them again when needed.

I had a ceiling leak from an upstairs bathroom. A section of the ceiling had to be cut open to find where the leak was coming from, which turned out to be the toilet. The wax ring was replaced under the toilet. Everything was done quickly and professionally, they cleaned up after the job and were very pleasant to work with.

I have hired Metcalf Plumbing on three occasions for various different services. In every case, Mike was prompt, courteous, very neat and worked efficiently with great skill to successfully complete each task. He came up with some creative approaches to avoid making holes in tile or drywall which was greatly appreciated. I couldnt be happier with Mike M. and the entire Metcalf staff. Even met owner who was also a pleasure to speak with.

Mr. Metcalf and Johnathan showed up on time (early), listened to our concerns about our needs, and gave us an estimate on each aspect of the work. When we approved the work to be done, they got right to work. The work was done efficiently and cleanly. Everything was left as they found it. Highly recommended. Thanks.

I recently had a catastrophic plumbing issue at my home, and Im beyond thankful for the incredible service provided by this company. From the moment they arrived, the experience was nothing short of outstanding. The two technicians who came out were absolutely fantasticskilled, professional, friendly, and courteous. They not only solved the problem efficiently but also took the time to explain everything clearly, offering helpful tips and advice along the way.

Their calm demeanor and clear communication made a stressful situation much more manageable. The owner personally checked on the work, ensure everything met high standards, and took the time to chat with me. That kind of personal touch and commitment to quality is rare these days. If you're in need of plumbing help and want a team that truly cares, acts professionally, and goes the extra mile, this is the company to call. Highly recommended!

If you need a plumber, you can feel good about calling Metcalf. They are honest, and they go the extra mile to solve your issues. We saw water on our kitchen ceiling under our bathroom. We were able to get a timely appointment and Michael spent a long time tracing the issue. The charge was very reasonable and the staff is friendly and helpful.

We had an urgent plumbing issue at our home, and reached out to Metcalf Plumbing after reading some positive reviews. From the first call, we were impressed with their professionalism & response time. The technicians that came (Michael, Jonathan & Chris) arrived promptly as scheduled and explained the problem in clear terms to us and fixed the issue. They also took the time to ensure everything was working properly before leaving.

I appreciate their honesty, expertise, and friendly customer service. We will definitely be calling them again for any future plumbing needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking in the area for reliable, high-quality plumbing services!
