Green T Plumbing

Called Sam from Green T to fix our toilet and he was fast, courteous and wiling to do anything else (plumbing wise) around the house we thought we might need because he did the job so quickly - he wanted to make sure we got our money's worth. Great work and service.

Of course - no one wants to have a situation where they call a plumber, but if I do again I will call Green T with no hesitation. Highly recommend!

I found Sam in the Chinook Book, and was excited to get a discount to fix my leaking toilets. I read the other Yelp reviews about his many problems, but I thought, a leaky toilet is a relatively small job, (fixing a leaking toilet is like Plumbing 101 right?).

Sam seems so friendly at first--and he convinced me he knew what he was doing. But, $350 later, my toilets were not fixed at all. Sam agreed to come over to re-fix and actually did stop by again to state that he knew what he needed to do, and that he would order more parts and fix the toilets.

But, since then, I have not been able to reach him. I have called and emailed him at least once a day for a month. I even used different phone numbers--but he did not answer his phone or emails--ever.

It is also important to know that Sam is not verified by the state to do plumbing work. Like TM said, this can be verified by going to the state website (https://secure.lni.wa.gov/verify/) and typing in "Green T." I have also posted a screenshot from the website.

No call back. No response to email. Hours says they open on Saturday, today is monday. Started with this business cause it's near my home, and the great reviews on yelp, but the clogged kitchen sink couldn't wait so my wife schedule a rooter company. If a business is not open during stated hours, I think they should change their hours online. Maybe next time

Update 1/21/13- Got a thoughtful email by Sam owning up to the lack of communication. Many business don't care about that stuff, but he obviously wants to better his business by being upfront and owning up to dropping the ball. Good business practices and still in my neighborhood, I haven't given up on them but I hope don't have plumbing issues in the near future!

The day before Thanksgiving our shower clogged and the toilets overflowed. We called Sam and he was at our house in an hour. He fixed the shower problem before the mother in-law arrived and as extra he re-adjusted our bathroom faucets for fun. Thanksgiving was saved!

In our own house we have had him review installing new plumbing for a basement bathroom. He recommended a different path which was less expensive and more time effective. Very few people in this field will go out of their way to provide friendly service and help you save a few extra bucks in the process.

We were so overwhelmed by his service and his expertise that we have since recommended him to many of our Team Diva Real Estate clients and friends. They all adore Sam and his team at Green-T Plumbing!

Quick response, super friendly and professional.

I called on a Friday morning, Sam came in the same day at 10 AM and our kitchen sink plumbing problem was fixed by 11 AM the same day! Couldn't have asked for quicker or better service really. HIghly recommended.

I am VERY happy. Sam is a down to earth and honest kinda guy. Sam discovered that what I had thought was a problem with my toilet was actually a problem with my shower drain, costing $20 instead of $100 (YAY!). I also showed him a loose toilet in the other bathroom, and he was worried about a bad flange (which involves breaking into the downstairs ceiling and replacing the end of the pipe (YIKE$$$) - but after investigating, he was also able to repair for around $100 instead of thousands.

Five stars. And future business.

Sam also shared with me that his true love is in green plumbing - water reclaim and rainwater use as well as other interesting sounding stuff. They guy is cool. Hire him. :)

I am so happy with the service I recieved from Green T!

I called Green T Plumbing, and they were very responsive! He arrived right on time, was very polite and immediately knew how to fix my shower and leaky toilets. I have never had a go-to plumber in the past, but I do now.

Very fair pricing, would definately call again and refer to my friends. Thank you!

I've been lax with my Yelp reviewing, and whenever I think of catching up, Sam at Green T Plumbing comes first to mind.

I've used Sam 3 times from simple jobs like clearing up clogged sink/tub, to doing an emergency Thanksgiving busted pipe repair (at a fair price, even though it was a holiday and responded FAST!) to my most recent repair, which was replacing the water pipe from my house to the street.

I have complete trust and faith in Sam's abilities, professionalism and honesty when it comes to his work. I also like that I'm not paying extra for overhead fee's, that you'd see with larger companies that pay for office space/admin staff/advertising etc.. This is evident in his price quotes. Although he's not cheap, his prices are fair and honest. His friendly wife helps with admin and it really feels like I'm supporting a local family business. One that I like.

Complete confidence in recommending Sam :)

Not too pleased with you Mr. Green T. I called and asked you if you had a rate and you couldn't come up with a minimum rate amount! Bad for business buddy. I ended up going with one of your competitors and they quoted me exactly what I paid them. You might want to think about an hourly rate and keeping it honest...

FELLOW YELPERS-
GREEN T PLUMBING LICENSE IS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED.

YOU CAN VERIFY BY GOING TO WASHINGTON'S L & I WEBSITE AND TYPING IN THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR LIC #: GREENTP900K . YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT HE HAS THREE DIFFERENT PARTIES WHO HAVE MADE CLAIMS AGAINST HIS BONDS.

I also wish I could give Sam negative stars. He royally botched every aspect of our job from the groundwork, to leaking drains and faucets to completely incorrectly installed radiant heating boilers.
He continuously lied about progress and often did not show up when scheduled. Sam left the job and said the heat works but the slabs were stone cold just days before new owners moved in. It's costing us in time and money and repairs. My suspicion is that he makes more money on emergency calls and speeds through his larger projects. I have had to hire a lawyer to deal with his sloppy mess. AVOID!
