The man on the job was very good and responsible and went further than originally thought due to additional leaks found, but the bill was very high. Their price quote format is excessive and the hourly rates are high for that area.

Excellent. Brian A. showed up on time, removed the old valve, and installed the new valve. No mishaps. Now I can turn off the irrigation system without having to make 20 turns on my knees. Price seemed a little bit high.

It was free- it was under warranty. It was prompt and they really care about follow ups. They installed the water heater sometime ago and they wanted to be on top of it - they want their service to be good and don't want their customers to be unhappy. The first day I called, they were all tied up with trainings and everybody was booked.

We were experiencing a fluctuation with some of our lights in the living room. I called Able Services and the dispatcher (?) informed me I would be subject to a $50 charge for a person to come out and evaluate the situation. The person who arrived quickly told me I needed to sign an authorization for work, with an estimate of several hundred dollars, before he could evaluate the problem. Two problems here: 1. The dispatcher did not make it clear I was subject to a $50 charge just to show up, or so it was since the electrician required me to sign an agreement estimate for several hundred dollars before starting the assessment.
The problem was eventually found to be a faulty switch where the electrical lines come to the house. But, this was after a significant amount of time in the home checking outlets. I can do this as one who has built an extension on his house and did the electrical. Once he found the problem he proceeded to tell me the switch needed replacement. Their final bill: $904.00. This for what should have been a 2 hour repair and a $50 part (I don't know the mark up because the invoice I received was not itemized).
I will note the person performing this job was pleasant and knowledgeable. Also the part was delivered from another town, adding to the time to repair.
My issue is the manner in which this company evaluated the problem. It was simple to identify and repair. Their approach seems to just keep the clock ticking.

Michael was punctual, showed me what the problems were and carefully explained everything. He was very careful to clean up from the work.
Plumbing is always more expensive than you think, but Able seems to take real pride in their work and aim to get repeat customers.

We had a slow, gradual reduction of H2O pressure in the kitchen over many months, relieved by installation of a new main kitchen faucet, but the problem soon returned & got worse. With re-piping (we have very hard water) or other plumbing nightmare fears, we called for help. Able's plumber Michael B. arrived in the first half hour of a 4-hour service window, a first in my experience, and he was very professional. After detailed explanation of our problem, he asked appropriate questions, examined relevant parts of the plumbing, & offered possible diagnoses.
He opened & cleared obstruction from the kitchen fixture, finding debris rather like tiny black gravel. He asked if there had been a water heater replacement in recent months, which was correct. He said it was common for brittle pieces of old washers to be released into the system with such a replacement. He showed me how to clear filters & aerators in event of any recurrence, and took the debris with him for confirmation by others at Able. We were charged only a $29 minimum service fee. A day later, Michael called to confirm the consensus opinion at work. This was a very efficient, inexpensive, and satisfying experience.

Dates were set. Plumbers showed up as scheduled. Work was finished on schedule and workers left work site clean and in very good shape. A faucet was broken but they came back and replaced at their cost. I will hire them again next time I need a plumber.

My water heater would not work. Able Plumbing came out within two hours (another company said it might be able to come in 24 hours because we live in the country). The service technician, Michael, replaced the thermal couple and my water heater was fixed! Also, I might add, the woman I spoke to on the phone was very polite! From start to finish, I had a wonderful experience with Able Plumbing. They were prompt, courteous, and reasonably priced.

They originally charged me $760.00. They worked for two and a half hours and installed a $100.00 part. So I was very angry. I sent their response card in. They called me and adjusted the price. It was still very expensive for what they did.
Response from Able Home Services Inc
"Thank you for sharing your concerns and for giving us the opportunity to provide you with a refund because you felt that the cost, though approved in advance, was too high. We much prefer to give money back than to have an unhappy customer. I also want to commend you and thank you for rating us highly on Quality, Responsiveness, Punctuality, and Professionalism even though you felt the cost was more than you expected. That means a lot to us."

They unwired to see where the fault was and by doing that they found out that the back door outside light switch had a fault in it, and was all charred inside, it blew up at some point, and they repaired my front porch but I did not know what was wrong with it, as they did not tell me. They were very nice and personable, and they were quick, and I have used them before, and they came out once after hours, as my washer erupted on the floor, as the pipe had broken, and they came and fixed that right away. When I called them for the emergency, they were here within half hour or forty five minutes, I found them to be very prompt, and for the electric problem they came in sooner than they were expected to, well they were very good. I don't have a whole lot of basis for comparison, because I have not used so many companies, the price may be a little high, I don't know what the prevailing prices are though,

They originally wanted to charge me over $300 for the job. The job took about 15 minutes and was a very simple repair. They overcharged me, and I will never use them again.

They did the work in one day. They brought a large crew. They had to crawl underneath. There was a settlement because of the faulty plumbing and the original owners received the money but they never replaced the plumbing. They could have fixed it for $2,000 but we had to pay $4,000 after we bought it. They came the day they said they would come. While they were here, we added on connecting the dishwasher and running a line to the refrigerator so we could have the icemaker. We didn't like paying all that money.

First visit to inspect and access details. Was a little disappointed it wasn't done that day.
Second visit, extended gas line to opposite side of the house. Removed previous gas line from under the house, and plugged up the hole for me coming into the house. They also "capped" a line that was not in use under the house. (don't think they had to do that, or tell me)
The 2 man team was very prompt, courteous, and neat.
Always like a company that requests feedback on their service with a post stamped evaluation form!

They serviceman was very quick and efficient. Our old plumbing was completely inadequate, and everything works extremely well now. Overall, I’m happy with their service.
