"Thank you very much for the nice review! We wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year!"
"Mrs. [removed member name], I apologize that you were given incorrect information. We are/have been a flat rate company for about 20 years now. We were actually one of the first companies in Atlanta to go to the flat rate system. When we give you a price before work starts, that is what the price will be. Things could go easier than we expect or things could be harder than we expect but the price stays the same. There is some down time when changing a water heater, the tank must be drained to protect your property when removing it, and also, depending on this cities' traffic, will depend on how quickly our delivery personnel can get to your address. I did look back over your invoice just to make sure everything was correct and I did not see anything wrong. I again apologize that you did not have the experience with us that we strive to provide because our price was a little to high for your satisfaction. We do charge more than many companies but not as much as some. We do this because we provide a great work environment for our employees which is why so many have been with us for so long. We also must make a profit on top of the benefits we provide to our employees. That is how we have managed to stay one of Atlanta's premier service companies for over 92 years now. I would love for you to try us again to see why we have had so many loyal clients for so many years. I have made a note on your account that you have a $50 credit towards any work that we perform for you if you will try us again."

Diagnosis: 1 inch water line glue joint came apart. Need to cut back and replace section of piping to repair
These people have no shame.
When I was complaining to Tim Edens the manager I told him the following in a letter: I have never been ripped off like this before.
You said your guy stayed at my house 2 hours to do a 30 minute job. I have a
feeling that you must be paying your plumbers on commission and there is large
incentive to over bill customers. What is really appalling is that you
supported the charge and only made a minor adjustment to the bill after knowing
that he ripped off my wife. No doubt he ripped her off and you know it. This job should have been the lowest price you charge anyone for 30 minutes of work. I agreed that I would pay you $500 which was more than twice what Troy charged me when he
made the original repair. $500 is being extremely generous. If I were doing it
again, I would stop payment on the credit card and take you to small claims
court. I feel that strongly about unsavory business people.
"Fulton Services has been in business since 1922. We have made it for more than 90 years now by doing a few things consistently. Those things are: doing good quality work day in and day out. Standing behind our work 100% in the rare occasions something goes wrong whether it be our fault or fault of the manufacturer. Being available 24/7 to take care of our clients. And charging a price that allows us to do all the above while making a fair profit to continue to improve our business. We understand that there are a lot of guys out there who run trucks that only do a couple of those things and bring the industry down. I can not control what another guy charges to do his work. I can only control what we do here at Fulton Services. The price you were charged is what we must charge to be able to provide the level of service that you received plus guarantee that if something goes wrong, you won't have to call around trying to find someone to come fix it. And then pay them to fix our mistake. I apologize that we didn't help you to see the value in our work. I promise that if something happens with that repair, you only have to make one call and we will be back out to take care of it at no charge. You won't have to call around and try to find another company because we are on vacation."
I found another plumber who expertly fixed my problem for $135 instead of $1167!
"Thank you for the review. We here at Fulton Services have a long history of taking care of our clients when they have a need that arises. We also have a long history of having the most qualified technicians in the area to service our clients at the level they expect.To do this, we must charge a price that allows us to not only hire the best but to keep the best. That means that we are higher than a lot of the companies in Atlanta because of this. We would love the opportunity to service you again and show you just what the quality of work we perform is and the value that comes with it. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season! If something was to come up, we have technicians on standby 24 - 7."
"Thank you very much for the nice review!"
"Thank you for the nice review. Glad to know we are doing our jobs up to our clients' level of expectation. We are just a phone call away should the need arise."
"I am disappointed to see this review. I would normally reach out to a client to try and remedy the situation but I have no record of any kind of ever doing service for this person or this address. I have searched as well as I can through my database and I cannot find this person. If the member would please reach out to us to let us try to make things better and clear up the situation, I would really appreciate it."
"Thank you very much for the very nice review! We appreciate your business and hope to service you again if you have a need that arises."
"Thank you very much for your nice review. It is our goal to provide the utmost level of service to each and every one of our clients. To be able to provide the level of service we feel our clients deserve, we must charge a price that allows us to do that. We have a live person to answer the phone 24/7 so if you do need anything in the future, you can always get us on the phone. Thank you for your business."
"Thank you very much for the nice review! Please give us a call in the future if there is anything we can do for you."
OK, next disappointment. They told me on the phone that it would cost $89 for the technician to come out and diagnose the issue. What they DIDN'T say was that they would be able to diagnose without cutting a hole in the downstairs ceiling and the charge for that was $170. I used a different plumbing company in the past where there was no charge to cut a hole. If you use Fulton, I suggest you hire a handyman to cut the hole before the visit, for WAY less money.
As for the repair itself. EXCELLENT. Scotty W. is top notch in his craft! My house has had 5 pinhole leaks in the pipes in the past 7 years. Other plumbing companies just sealed off the pinhole (for about 1/2 the price) and left. Scotty replaced a larger section of pipe and pointed out other areas that were corroding and would spring leaks in the future. He also discussed with me several possible reasons why I have these leaks in a fairly new home. Granted he didn't have any answers, but he pointed me to avenues of investigation.
In conclusions, I would say the price is rather high if you have a simple repairs but if you have a repeated problem and no answers, you might want to give them a call (and you might want to ask for Scotty by name). Also, use them if you have an emergency that needs attention right away.
"Thank you for your truthful review. We apologize that we can not be more specific on times but your situation is a perfect example as to why we have to be vague. There is no way to know what a technician is getting into when he steps into a clients home until he is there and starts work. That is why we always give a call ahead in case the client is not home and then give them time to get back home. We are glad Scotty was able to take care of your situation properly. He, like all our technicians, is a very educated, individually licensed professional at his trade. That is why we may charge more than some companies. To keep the best individuals on staff, it takes paying them a little more. If you ever have another issue, we always have someone to answer the phone and will take care of your issue as fast as we can. Thanks for your business."
"Thank you very much for the nice review!! We are very pleased we were able to provide you with a level of service you expect. If you have another need that arises, we look forward to being able to serve you again."
Scotty showed up on time on the promised day and brought two other men with him to assist in the digging. What was expected to take 2 days was completed in 1 day. The project cost came in under the estimate.
The best part, for me, is that the following week I received a Thank You card from Scotty and a box of cookies from their office with a nice Thank You note. This type of customer service, which should be common (not the cookies but the card) is unheard of in my 50 years as a homeowner. I don't need plumbers very often but the next time I do I'll contact Fulton Plumbing as My Plumber.
"Thank you for the nice review! We are very happy to have met your service expectations. We look forward to serving you again should you have a need that arises. Thanks for choosing Fulton Services!"
"Thank you for the nice review. We are very happy we were able to take care of your needs."
"Thank you for the response. We are happy we were able to take care of your needs. We charge a price that we have to to be able to run a top notch service company. When a company takes the steps we do to always ensure that we have top notch technicians, and top notch service, the price can be higher than expected. It is our goal to make sure your issue is taken care of the first time with a level of service you deserve. We are always just a phone call away if you have any need that arises in the future. Thank you for your business!"
"Thank you very much for the nice response! We are glad we were able to provide a level of service that satisfied you while taking care of your problem. We look forward to being able to service you in the future should a need arise."
"Thank you for the nice response. We strive to provide the top notch service you expect day in and day out. We look forward to providing you with great service if a need arises. Thank you for your business."
A few weeks after this experience, someone from the office called to ask if I wanted to renew my contract. I said I did not and explained why. I never heard anything else from them.
"We apologize for your bad experience. We strive to always make our clients happy. Our technicians are highly trained but they are also humans and make mistakes on occasion. This sounds like one of those mistakes. A manager will be contacting you to see if we can correct the situation."
