I had to have the shower head replaced in the master bathroom and Robinson’s sent Justin out and he was so nice to work with. I would certainly ask for him the next time I need their services. I have been using Robinson’s for several years and continue to be impressed with the customer service and the quality of the work performed. So I would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the fantastic review!

This is a professional, reliable and trustworthy company. I have used them before and both times they’ve been terrific. This time I called them to replace a rusty hose bib. Justin explained that the actual hose bib was fine and that it was the ”water saving attachment” that was leaking. He fixed it in no time. So grateful Justin saved me from having a hose bib replacement that would’ve cost me more!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Maria! Many companies out there pressure customers into the most expensive replacement or repair. We tell customers what they have and what their options are so the customer can make an informed decision. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
Quality work, reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Nick! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!

I have a well and horses and when the water goes out it’s such a catastrophe. Robinsons came on a Saturday in the middle of the polar vortex and I had water that day. I’ve used them for projects both very big (and unpleasant) and very small, and I appreciate their prompt professionalism more than a review can convey. Thank you to Steve, Derrick, and the entire team!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Dee! No water is an emergency that needs to be fixed as quickly as possible. Your recommendation means the world to us. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!

Even on the weekend Robinson's Plumbing is responsive and efficient. I chose an 8 - 10am window. Derick arrived at 8:30, checked out my Rinnai water heater and quickly fixed the problem.

Robinson plumbing was excellent. These guys went above and beyond to not open my floor due to my crawl space being very narrow and super complex. They worked together to find a way to get my water back on.! Professional, courtesy would recommend 1000%!

The technician came to my 4th floor condo to check my water heater. It was 18 years old on 01/03/2008. It needs a power vent for the 4th floor. The tech is certified in all aspects of plumbing. That is very important. He is coming Monday to install my new hot water heater. The price is very fair. I am glad I did my “homework” on this project.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Patricia! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!

After calling to let me know they were on the way to my home, two service men arrived on time, assessed the situation, and got right to work to identify and correct the problem with my double kitchen sink that had backed up during the time of the recent snow events in Chester. Given the weather conditions, I called the Dispatcher and said I didn't mind if they wanted to reschedule due to the weather, and forecasters were recommending not to get on the roads if you didn't have to. But they were on their way and arrived safely, immediately found the problem under the sink, flushed out the drains, making sure they were all cleared out, gathered their tools and were ready to be on their way to their next appointment!! The price was reasonable, their attention to detail was appreciated, and knowing what needed to be done (and done right!!) made a great nuisance of a problem an opper-tunity to thank those two gentlemen for a job well done!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Faye! The personal recommendation is the best advertising there is. When you tell people to call us, ask them to tell us that you referred them! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!

Pete took my call at 11.00p.m. on 2/19/26 - near midnight, and promised to send a plumber. As promised, Derick came the next day and fixed my toilet tank leak very quickly and professionally. I am quite pleased with this Company and would use them again. Thank you Derick and Pete.

I reached out to Robinson’s Plumbing to get someone out to take a look at my busted line that froze and ruptured. Justin was dispatched and came out the same day. They were able to provide me a more than fair quote to fix the line and replacement of the hot water heater that was damaged. He even went above and beyond in making sure my insurance company understood the situation with the hot water heater damage. As a homeowner and going through this difficult moment for the first time it was a relief to have someone like Justin there to help. Thank you again Justin and also Christina who I dealt with when contacting the office.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Stephanie! We are experts at fixing leaks and make sure our customers have the information needed to work with their insurance companies. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again!
