J. Blanton Plumbing

Beware of J Blanton and their unethical business tactics - they'll get you with their "free estimate" and supposed quick availability. Then surprise you onsite with exorbitant "flat" pricing that you have no choice but to accept when they show up late and you're in a pinch like me (as most people are when they call a plumber). Charged almost $400 to simply put on a new tub spout. Other estimates put the task at less than $200, including their own, or so I was misled to believe when I first called. Turns out $180 is only their "diagnostic" charge.

What&apos

This crew worked on a blocked sewer at my home some time ago soon after we moved into our home.

We were unable to get sewer outflow anywhere except onto the basement floor. Needless to say we were desperate for help.

After less than an hour of trying to clear the block they gave me a proposal to dig down to the sewer, through my basement floor. Total cost was estimated at over $8k.

I'm embarrassed to share how far down the road we went with that scheme before I realized we hadn't correctly identified where the sewer ran and that there was a clean out access they hadn't tried

Absolutely do not use this company.

Hired JBlanton to do a flood control system several months ago, including paying a $6,500 deposit. Due to circumstances out of our control with the location of my sewer line, the job had to be cancelled. That's was in August and, as of mid October, not a cent of my $6,500 for the cancelled job has been returned. Every call I've made to them has been met with a run around and a promise to return calls which has never been honored. How do you ignore a client for two months? At this point, I'm pretty sure I've been robbed.

Avoid these thieves

Blanton Plumbing to the rescue. I was getting a new fridge delivered and they couldn't turn off the valve that shuts of the water to the ice maker. I called and left a message and Melissa got back to me within 10-15 mins, she was super understanding and set up my appointment. I also mentioned that I had a slow draining in one of my sinks.

Chip came out to diagnose the issue and told me exactly what needs to be done. He came on time. I love that he explained EXACTLY what needed to be done without making me feel stupid. He gave me a quote and and I agreed. I had to have the water shut off to

Interesting situation in which I feel like I was taken advantage of. Blanton came out for a FREE ESTIMATE because I had a pressure switch not working on my jacuzzi tub. The plumber entered and I removed the access panel for the wall where the power was for the switch.

Turns out the GFCI had tripped, so he pushed a button, and the tub started working again. First, let me say that I appreciate that it was so simple (and something I should've checked myself). This process took maybe 5 minutes. When the plumber was coming out, I expected just a diagnosis of the issue and an estimate of

I'll sum it up in one word, Run. I don't typically write bad reviews, but I must warn anyone considering these guys. Save yourself the money and multiple headaches. My condo association hired them for our multi unit condo building, the only good thing I can say is that they are available after hours. I could write a lengthy novel explaining all the things that went wrong, how they came unprepared, how they overcharge, how they forgot to put the lid back on the sewer in our yard where children could have fallen in, how their recommendations never fixed the problem we brought them out

Awful! AVOID AT ALL AND ANY COST. They charged me over $400 to replace two basket sinks--15 minutes of work. Ethical plumbers charge $150/hr plus time and materials. This job should have been $200 max. REVOKE THEIR BUSINESS AND PLUMBING LICENSE IMMEDIATELY. Never use them!

If you're thinking about using J Blanton for anything, stop now and find a different plumber. Last year, about a month into lock down, we hired them to install new toilets and faucets. Since we were on lock down and knew the plumbers were busy, we bought the fixtures ourselves so they wouldn't have to, even carried the toilets up three flights of stairs ourselves. The toilets we bought were the ones the plumber they sent, Lou Agosto, recommended for us. Lou brought an apprentice. Lou also talked my ear off about how much experience he had.

First problem, Lou is installing the faucet

The day of the service they were prompt and the team of two was efficient, a bit messy but not expecting less since they are working with sewer. My issue with this company is that I've been waiting for the report for my insurance for over a month now. After multiple calls and online messages still nothing. Always being told that a service manager would reach out and I'm still waiting. It's extremely disappointing as this is the only thing missing for my insurance Compton approve my claim. I didn't know writing that I had a sewer fill up and why its so hard.

Hired J Blanton to install a garbage disposal after some issues with a previous handyman company.

It was like night and day. The guys at J Blanton responded quickly, scheduled quickly, got in, got the work done, and got out.

Painless process and the disposal is installed without any issues.

I am very disappointed that your technician did not investigate for a repair option; even after he was informed that the drain pan, under the water tank, was full of water for a week because of a leaking A/C unit in the apartment above mine. I waited until after the A/C unit above was repaired, and specifically told your "serviceman" that I had no hot water and that the pilot light was out. I also told your technician that I had drained the water tank, and shut off both the water and gas to the water heater.
I'm still surprised, despite my obvious knowledge and previous complaint
