Bathtub faucet and Kitchen faucet

I was given Mike's name from a good friend and I was extremely pleased with our initial contact where he had me email photo's of the taps and gave me pricing information. He arrived on time and went to work right away. He explained what they did and was personable, professional and the price was exactly as promised. I highly recommend him! Thank you Mike :)

Repair leaking faucet

We have used Aviv before and was fully satisfied with the knowledge, honesty and service. When water leaked downstairs from a shower upstairs, we did not hesitate to call Aviv again and did not bother to ask upfront how much the cost will be, which was was a mistake. The service this time was unfortunately less satisfying. Actual work incl. diagnosis probably only took an hour or.so Still not clear why we were charged so much for tightening the pipes and caulking the loose hardware/faucet. As I did not get the comfort that the work done solved the problem, I asked the technician whether there is a warranty which he indicated no as there may be other problems. This gave me less comfort in trusting the service. For now, I still have a bucket and towel below the leak area just in case.

Company Response

Hi there. I am so sorry that you were unhappy. I sent a very qualified plumber to your home and I myself came down to your home. I gave you a price while we stood in the kitchen and did locate the leak. As we explained and showed you, the faucet in the fiberglass enclosure had never been secured and the plate was almost 1/2" away from the wall. We cut open the drywall behind the faucet and secured it. We secured the trim from the from the front as well. We filled the tub numerous times and drained it. We operated the shower. I also spent some time discussing with you an issue with your fridge water line. All this while the other plumber and apprentice took care of the problem. I am sorry that you were dissatisfied and feel that you were over charged. I believe that the charge INCLUDING HST was less than that quotet to you while we stood in your kitchen. I believe that we have solved the problem to the best of our ability and the reason for not providing you with a warranty is because of the general sloppy installation of the original acrylic enclosure and the related plumbing. I encourage you to remove the bucket and the towel and to ensure that the curtain is fully closed when your son takes a shower and that the trim remains sealed to the acrylic. If in the future you do decide to use our services again, it would be appreciated if you would consult with me in person if you are unhappy.

Main Stack Replacement

Needed to replace the main stack in our just acquired house due to a leak (and ensure that we didn't have any further water damage). Michael and team assessed the situation, were very clear on what had to be done, and managed the do the job promptly, carefully, and on budget. Would (and will) definitely use them again!

Faucet and drain repair

Michael provided excellent service repairing a faucet that had come apart and two others that needed to be centered. He is very professional, knowledgable and efficient. He also provides information on things that may need to be addressed in the future. I would highly recommend his services if you are looking for a plumber and are in need of a professional that knows what he is doing - this is the company for you!

Replacing cartriudge on leaking bathtub faucet

Michael Aviv provided both a timely and honest service. Where other contractors consistently attempted to up-sell me for this job, Michael Aviv cut through such inflated costs and delivered true quality and value. Thanks for saving me $1200! Would highly recommend Aviv to all, and will definitely use in the future!

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I was quite surprised when you told me that other plumbing companies wanted to charge you so much. The work was simple and went with out any problems. Yes some old faucets can be repaired at a huge saving to the client.

Repair to my Shower

Michael is warranty contractor for Rubinet plumbing among aothers. I was there to get some parts and was introduced to him. He was at my home the same day, my problem was fixed in short time - work was professional, neat and above all he fixed what i had called him to fix.
Have not problem giving this company a 5 star rating.

I guess I was in the right place at the the right time. It always amazes me that other plumbers are not able to recognise and appreciate good quality faucets and the reaction is always to suggest replacement. This was an easy fix and should provide many more years of good service. Thanks for the positive review.

Installing new kitchen faucet (removing leaky, rusty old tap).

10-star service, without a doubt.

Michael and his co-op plumbing student arrived early (calling first to make sure that was okay) ... put covers over their shoes at the front door ... and then set to work.

The plumbing job was done quickly, neatly, professionally. (I later asked for some advice on a bigger job and was very pleased to hear Michael's clear-cut, no-nonsense view of how best to handle it. He is a real pro.)

Very happy to have found Aviv Plumbing; will certainly call Michael again. Highly recommended.

Emergency Pipe Repair

Cold called Aviv plumbing suspecting a broken pipe. Technician arrived in an hour quickly diagnosed the source of the leak which was concealed behind a wall. Removed a small section of bathroom tiling rerouted the pipe stopping the leak and restoring water. The owner Michael joined the technician to complete the job. They removed the debris from the repair and cleaned up the work site. Considering three hours earlier I was looking at a pool of water on the floor and lost water pressure, I consider myself fortunate that the whole problem was resolved for less than five hundred dollars. In addition every was pleasant and informative in dealing with a harried homeowner. I highly recommend using this firm in the future.

unclogged shower drain

My bathtub drain was totally clogged and I tried to unclog it with baking soda/vinegar/salt/hot water and other natural methods. I spent an entire day checking online for other solutions , but had no success and was totally frustrated. I did not want to call a plumber. However, 24 hours later, defeated and dejected I caved and call a friend for a referral. As luck would have it, she referred Michael and he quickly,efficiently and professionally unclogged my drain - he was super clean, knowledgable, honest and a really nice guy. FYI- using natural method would have not worked in my situation. Only a professional plumber had the tools and know how to effectively clear the mess/dirt/hair trapped inside.
