Pete was on time, professional, and efficient. Even thought the original job needed to be extended due to an unexpected (and unrelated!) electrical problem, Pete resolved the problem quickly. His fee was very reasonable.

He was here most of the day. He is a perfectionist. What stands out is the punctuality, attentions to detail and pride.

He did a quality job. But we had a bit problem of communication on price: my initial call got a quote of $100 and it evolved into $140, $160, and $175 when everything is ready and the job was about to start. I was a bit unhappy for the surprise on price but agreed to pay him $175 if the work went well. He took time to finish and cleanup and I want to pay him $180 but he refused, insisted on only taking $160.

On the night the water heater was damaged, Pete provided a verbal estimate over the phone and came out the next morning to firm up the price and do the job. He was on time, professional and courteous. New water heater was installed without a hitch and - other than a minor hiccup which Pete quickly corrected - job went as planned. Cleaned up after himself when the job was done. Price was competitive. Highly recommend him for this type work.

I had called several local plumbers. Pete was the only service that promptly called back and arrived early for his appointment. He was knowledgeable and courteous. He identified the problem. Fixed it and was on his way to his next job.

It went extremely well and I could not be more pleased. Pete was great, very professional and worked straight through until all work was completed. Some of the fixes were extremely difficult but Pete kept his cool and got the job done.I have used other plumbers in the past and there is no comparison. I have scheduled him for more work to be completed within the next week or two. I wouldn't use anyone else for my home repairs.
Description of Work
Did a lot of plumbing work that needed repair on an older home-inside water main value, fixing bathtub faucets, sink faucet and replacing kitchen faucet along with coming out the next day for an emergency repair on a basement door that had become locked.

I was extremely pleased with the service. I called early in the morning and Pete answered immediately. I was told a date and time that he could come out. He was very professional as he called me to see if he could come into the home 30 minutes earlier than he had stated before he knocked on my door. I was very pleased that he was earlier than stated. He and I discussed what needed to be done before he left to get some parts. He came back quickly and had the job done quickly. The price was very reasonable and I would not only recommend but hire him in a heartbeat again......He is the guy to hire for your needs....

They mis-advertise their service area, they don't service all of New Castle County and they refuse to do service in the city of Wilmington which is in New Castle County. Due to this I think that Angie's List should drop them.

The job was excellent. In fact perfect. Moreover, because of an impending carpet installation he went out of his way to meet our deadline so the carpet installation could proceed. We have used Top Notch for several other services over the past few years and always found him to be thorough, personable and professional.

He left the toilet broken. It needed a simple adjustment. Top Notch installed cheap parts that immediately broke. He left the job broken and incomplete. I had to hire someone else to repair the toilet. We spent 450 in materials for the lighting jobs that were to be done, when Pete Lindbergh decided he was no longer going to do the job. He never provided us a receipt for the electrical wires and supplies, so we cannot even return these unneeded materials. We will be seeking damages for carpet cleaning, plumbing repair, and disconnecting the lighting that he left unfinished and dangling from the wall, repainting and refinishing the beam that he drilled into. We were taken back by his rude behavior, and would not recommend Pete to be let in anyone's home. Take this as a warning. We had a very unpleasant experience that left us feeling unsettled.
Description of Work
The provider, Top Notch Home Improvement, was hired to repair toilet, and construct two separate track lighting systems. First of all, he did not wear booties and tracked snowy mud through the house. He worked for 8 hours, after telling us the job would take 2 hours. He constructed a monstrosity of tubing and wires on the ceiling. He announced to us after 8 hours of work that he would not be completing this job, with no explanation, he left abruptly, leaving the job in disarray.

Service Provider Response

Description of work: Complaint 1: Did not wear booties and tracked snow and mud into house. Response: Homeowner was there during the entire time and never mentioned anything about this to me. I watch where I walk and am careful not to track dirt. Complaint 2: He worked for 8 hours, after telling us the job would take 2 hours. He constructed a monstrosity of tubing ad wires on the ceiling. Response: I reviewed with the homeowner just exactly what he wanted while there on a previous trip. Purchased materials required based on that job. upon arrival, homeowner had changed his requirements which called for considerably more work, more materials, and another trip to supply store. Owner was consulted or looked at appearance multiple times during process and never said anything negative at the time. Complaint 3: He announced to us after 8 hours of work that he would not be completing this job, with no explanation, he left abruptly, leaving the job in disarray. Response: I did leave abruptly, with the job unfinished. I could not complete job due to back pain incurred because I slipped repeatedly on customer's icy porch. I disconnected what I had installed for safety reasons and left the installation so that customer would be able to save money by not having another installer do the same work again. Member comments: Complaint 1: He left the toilet broken. It needed a simple adjustment. Top Notch installed cheap parts that immediately broke. He left the job broken and incomplete. I had to hire someone else to repair the toilet. Response: I do not use cheap parts, and that flapper did not break. I used the wrong flapper to fix an existing leak on a previous visit. it appeared to work at first, but was not returning to the closed position properly. I had the proper flapper with me on this occasion, but did not install it before I left. I will refund the portion of previous visit spent on replacing flapper, and cost of flapper. Complaint 2: We spent 450 in materials for the lighting jobs that were to be done, when Pete Lindbergh decided he was no longer going to do the job. He never provided us a receipt for the electrical wires and supplies, so we cannot even return these unneeded materials. Response: Homeowner never asked for a receipt. A receipt is not needed to return items to Lowe's. Nevertheless, I will refund the homeowner $450.00 for materials purchased, on the condition that he returns the materials to me. For my part, I spent about $100.00 on additional materials required for the homeowner's change order, that I never charged him for. Likewise, I wasted a day of labor that I will never see.

On the initial visit he found that the replacement parts could not be found at Home Depot but instead ordered for free directly from the manufacturer. He submitted the order and then came back once the parts came in to make the repair. On both visits he was prompt, personable and professional. He discounted his fee of $60.00 on his second visit because the repair took less than 30 minutes as all the work was at counter level and not under the counter.
