Please consider another plumber if you have older plumbing
They came to repair a bath tub knobs that wouldn't shut off
He replaced the stems on the knobs and only after fixing it, he said there's no warranty on his work.
The job was done, 470 dollars, used it 4 times and doesn't shut off completely
Called Nick , he read my receipt to me! Kept over talking me reading the receipt, then accussed me of over talking him
Argued with me
What a horrible experience
[Update]
I received the reply from the owner via Google reviews
He stated a few things that were not true
The plummer that was here, never said he thought it would continue dripping, he did say no warranty AFTER the repair was done...not signing the repair receipt wouldn't have changed that fact
The work was done!
We realize it was a weekend fee, we were ok with that
What we're not ok with, it only worked 4 times
When i called to see what could be done, Nick kept reading my receipt notes...got very defensive instead of helpful....I never asked for my money back! Yet another lie
Nick was so arguementive, I did hang up on him, it was pointless talking to him
When he called back, I did not scream google review multiple times, yet another lie
What i said upon hanging up in frustration is "I'll just write a google review"
Be leary of this business, im elderly and don't have time to argue about shoddy work and business practices
This review is to warn others only

I recently lost my husband of 61 years and as often happens immediately after a tragedy something breaks and you need help. Major water line. I called Rick Hartman plumbing and was able to quickly get an appointment. Very fair price. The service and kindness of Dan and Caelin was outstanding. They made a very difficult time much easier. I would highly recommend Rick Hartman Plumbing.

We had a full repiping of our home. The company attended to pin hole leaks, promptly provided estimate and scheduled the work immediately on our acceptance of the bid. Before the work could be done, they immediately attended to a new leak, which took two techs, two hours, at no charge. The company did the job within the projected two days and promptly addressed punch list items. The workers were very polite and respectful. We are extremely pleased with the experience and would highly recommend them.

Rick was awesome. So nice, knew his business and left our basement spotless. I needed him to fix another plumber’s mistake, and when he was done, it looked great and was up to code. I will definitely be having Rick do my plumbing projects from now on.

My original plumber bailed on my project to convert from a power vent gas water heater to a hybrid electric. Reached out to many plumbers and Rick Hartman came through.
The original quote was $595 which I thought it was a great deal. I sent the pictures of the current set up and everything was ready to go. Then the technician came through and said it was more complicated and request to delay the project by 2-days. Then on the day, they requested another 2-days due to staffing. Also since it was more complicated, they wanted to change the pricing to labor hr + material.
On the day of the work, the first technician showed up at 9 and the second technician 9:30. It was a two man job since the 65 gallon hybrid is heavy.
So the final bill was ~$1000, 4.75 hours + ~$215 material. The physical work was done at 1:35 pm. I am not surprised by the invoice amount but did not get a list of material used.
In short, if you have a simple water heater replacement at the flat rate, I think Rick is a great resource.
Included pics of the draining pan and the piping. I supplied the expansion tank, pvc 3 inch cap and draining pan.
<UPDATE>
The owner contact me and provided an updated material list and cost. Other than the traditional markup, the material cost is reasonable.
After using the unit and the installation for a couple of days. The condenser tube was cut too short and does not reach the floor drain. No job is perfect.
