"I had an excellent experience with Rooter Pro Plumbing GA for a water leak detection. Technician Jay was prompt, professional, and incredibly skilled. He quickly identified the source of the leak, preventing further damage, and provided an economical solution that didn’t compromise quality. Jay took the time to clearly explain the issue and walked me through the options, ensuring I felt informed and confident in the repair process. His courteous demeanor and efficiency made the entire experience stress-free. If you need reliable and affordable plumbing services, I highly recommend Rooter Pro Plumbing GA—ask for Jay!"
"When I requested an estimate, Joe called me back on Sunday and personally came out on Tuesday. Communication and Customer Service was excellent. Zack and JJ arrived on time assessed the job and started demoing. Had a few issues, due to the fact the building is over 50 years old and not level, but they got the job done. Worked hard, cleaned up and were excellent. I would recommend 50 Plumbers to everyone. ."
"The Insallers Xavier and Joseph make a wonderful team. They were so polite and pleasant to work with. I'm getting a second bathtub replaced next Fri and have requested Xavier and Joseph for my 2nd Install. They were very careful and precise with their work. My 1963 year old bathroom looks amazing because of them. I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Jacuzzi Bathroom Remodeling Company. They really care about Customer Service."
"called several companies on 6/23/2014 , and Moncrief was the first one that could send someone out "as soon as possible in the afternoon". Not an issue since that was the response from every other company. Technician arrived on time, was very professional and quickly found and fixed the problem. Unfortunately, I didn't explicitly tell him to review any repairs with me prior to making them. I was charged a $95 diagnostic fee and $130 to replace a $15 capacitor. $225 for 45 minutes of labor and $15 of parts. Overall a good experience, but I would not have agreed to $130 service charge for a capacitor replacement.
Update to Provider response 7/1/2014
***DISCLAIMER*** To anyone reading this review. I AM qualified to change a capacitor, the average user should not attempt to make any repair with a capacitor or any other device of this type as it can cause serious injury and death when done incorrectly.
I have no complaints with the technician, he was competent and professional and did a great job.
In response to your pricing explanation, that's great. I understand. We all need to do what we need to do to cover the cost of doing business. I don't feel like anything was not a fair or honest price. I don't feel like it's out of line with the market cost. Bottom line, I don't care. Your overhead of doing business to stay in business is not my problem. I agreed to pay $95 for a diagnostic fee to find out what was wrong with the unit. I would not have agreed to an additional $130 to replace a capacitor had I been asked before the work was done. Once the work was done, I paid the bill and I'm not asking for a refund or anything else for many of the reasons you outline.
Had I known it was the blower motor capacitor, I would have gladly accepted absorbing the 90 minutes to drive to one of the Industrial Supply stores in Atlanta that I have an account to purchase a new capacitor the next day because I'm cheap like that. The unit had been out for almost 3 days at that point and the other unit was picking up the slack pretty well.
However, I didn't have to drive anywhere or wait for shipping because I ALREADY HAD THE CAPACITOR. I bought it when I had to replace the capacitor on the outside unit 2 years ago and I wanted one on hand when the inside unit went. I also know it wasn't bad out of the box, because I tested the capacitance and discharge in the store with a Fluke 113 multimeter before I took possession of said box. It was located in a drawer less than 15 feet from your tech. Given the opportunity, that's $34 I didn't need to spend.
I would have most likely taken the chance on making the repair myself, as replacing the capacitor is not one of the more difficult tasks involved. Make sure the power is off at the breaker, do that special thing that must be done to make capacitors safe, disconnect the leads, remove old capacitor, put in new capacitor, reconnect leads and so on.
While I appreciate the time you spent to write this review and the personal note that I received in the mail, I hope this helps you understand the reason for my dissatisfaction."
"Everything went well from first meeting to end of project, was professionally done and completed on time, as promised. After reaching out to other contractors, Limitless Renovations gave us the most affordable estimate and also discussed other cost-saving measures that we were very grateful for. Doug, our installer, did an awesome job and he kept our home clean throughout the project. Thank you Limitless Renovations!!!"
"Everything was done in a timely manner and the work area was cleaned up and not left in a huge mess. The experience of this company shows and I would hire again if I needed a plumber for the future."
"Our home and master bath date from 1998, and the bath was in need of some serious updating. It was comprised of a laminate double vanity with molded counter top and sinks, garden tub, and small molded plastic shower stall. Our goal was to upgrade the flooring, tub decking and shower to tile, install granite countertops and hardwood cabinets, replace the garden tub with a whirlpool, increase the size of the shower, and upgrade all the lighting. Additionally, we wanted to replace a bathroom door that continually banged into an adjacent closet door, as well as increase storage space in the bathroom itself.
With no previous remodeling experience, we didn't know quite where to begin with a project of this magnitude. We used Angie's List to review various contractors in our area and spoke to a couple of them before settling on West Georgia Design. From our first meeting, Dwight struck us as somebody who clearly knew his work and could provide useful and practical expertise to us, but, equally important, he impressed us as a man who was honest and forthright in his business dealings. We were correct on both counts.
Based on our objectives, Dwight completed a plan and an estimate. Though the original bid came in higher than we expected, we met twice again and agreed on a final price for the materials and work. One of the things that impressed me about this provider was that, even though the work took a couple of weeks longer than planned due to weather delays (certainly nobody's fault) and the inevitable surprises, like plumbing issues, that occur on projects of this magnitude, the final tab came in within a few hundred dollars of the initial budget estimate.
We finalized and Dwight purchased our materials after the contract was signed. Here is another area where we would give him very high marks. He worked with us on selecting materials and colors and styles that would all complement each other and work well together. We had already done a good amount of legwork on our own and made some choices on individual components, and ultimately, much of the final result gets down to the details: tile colors, shapes and patterns, cabinet styles, countertop colors, etc,. It's important that your contractor has a good sense of your goal and a final vision of the project in his head as to how everything will work and look together.
Once the project began, Danny was the lead on doing most of the work, assisted nearly every day by Aramus. They did the bulk of the demo work, plumbing, painting, and sheet rock, cabinet, Jacuzzi, tile, shower glass and lighting installation. Others also worked with them as needed for specialized plumbing, electrical work and sheet rock finishing. Dwight stopped in as needed - about every 2-3 days - to check on the progress of the project and to make sure it was on track.
We had a couple of minor glitches, as you might expect with a project of this magnitude. One was having to relocate supply and drain lines for the new tub and shower in a concrete slab, on which our home rests, and the other was a misunderstanding in the placement of new electrical outlets and lighting bases. The plumbing issue added a day or two to the project, while the electrical issue was pretty minor and was corrected within a couple hours by a re-visit from the electrical subcontractors. There was also a minor issue with the shower door after the project was completed, and the problem was corrected quickly and without any further issue.
Overall, the project went very well, and we were always kept well informed by Dwight, Danny and Aramus as to what had been done and what was coming up next. We feel like we developed an excellent rapport with all 3 of them, and they were always, without exception, respectful, receptive and responsive to our needs and changes as they occurred.
We could not be happier with the end result, and are enjoying living with our new dream bathroom. The final result greatly exceeded our expectations, and the look of the completed room is beautiful. The color pallet, the materials and the workmanship are all terrific. In fact, we're already making plans to remodel our second bathroom. Many thanks to Dwight, Danny, Aramus, Matt and the other members of the West Georgia Design team that helped make our dream a reality.
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
Homeowners insurance may cover shower pan leaks, but it depends on the type of coverage you’re looking for. Typically, home insurance policies cover sudden or accidental water damage, for example, if it comes from a busted pipe or malfunctioning appliance. Damage to a shower pan is usually gradual. A repair or replacement of your shower pan usually won’t be covered by your policy. If your shower pan leak causes water damage, chances are your standard policy—if it includes water damage—will cover the repair.
The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain.
To prevent clogs, get yourself:
A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels.
Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.
Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.
Pipefitting is a more specialized profession, and pipefitters work with complex systems and low- and high-pressure pipes, so it can be considered harder than plumbing. Though each profession comes with its challenges, the nature of pipefitting requires working with heavier materials in fast-paced and dangerous environments, which can be more challenging than working on residential and commercial plumbing systems.
Signs of a leaky faucet include dripping water, unusual noises, and irregular water flow coming from the faucet. Discoloration or water stains around the sink or countertop can also indicate a leak, as can higher than usual water bills and wet areas under and around the sink’s base.
If you have to hold the toilet handle (also called the toilet lever) down to flush, you probably have a chain problem. A chain that cannot fully lift the flapper will close too early and not clear the toilet bowl. Try adjusting the chain length so there’s about ½ inch of slack.
