One of the Blackstone Exteriors representatives dropped a business card at my home a few weeks ago, and I eventually made contact with him. We discussed roofing arrangements, Blackstone agreed to do the roof for the amount of insurance settlement. It took about another 10 days, but I received a couple days notice of when the crew was to arrive. The crew of 7 workers arrived at their appointed time, immediately set out to work, stripped off the old damaged shingles, prepared the underlayment for the new shingles and a few short hours later, my roof was done. The crew cleaned up the area of scraps and hauled away the trailer full of the old damaged shingles. The only small complaint I had was that the roofing crew failed to run a magnet around my house to pick up stray nails. I had to borrow a co-worker's to get the job done. I brought this up to the company representative who then took off an amount we mutually agreed upon on the day we settled up. Overall, so far I'm very satisfied with the job. I would recommend Blackstone Exteriors to anyone interested.

But Mike came within hours of my call, from the next county over. He did not ask for a trip charge. He had to replace other pipes as we began trying them out after the leak I reported was repaired. The house had been closed down for years, so I understood why several had broken from freezing. I would have paid just about anything, but he only charged $145. The crawl space he had to go clear through was very unpleasant, but he is just the nicest guy and quite professional. He would not remark on the dirt and cobwebs. He proceeded after testing the water to light the gas water heater without being asked. I just can't say what a pure joy it is in 90-degree weather to have someone nice care that I was going without running water, do a perfect job (replaced pipes are holding up fine), and then not overcharge me. God Bless that man.

My tenant was there the day the dryer was wired, and the electrician asked him if he thought the wiring looked ok. My tenant is a farmer, not an electrician. Miller Electric did not attempt to start the dryer and confirm the work to be correct. The electrician did not verify that voltages were correct either. The corn was dry enough last year to not require the dryer to run so this week is the 1st time we have tried to use the dryer. When we tried to start the dryer, the electrical circuit panel blew. We called for the service co. to come and fix the problem. The dryer circuit board was wired to 220VAC, instead of the 110VAC that was required. Miller Electric now says that the 1 year warranty has expired on their work, so they have no liability in this mistake that they made. They were negligent in their workmanship. I feel that they should stand for the repair of our equipment. I WOULD NOT recommend Miller Electric for any electrical job.

The dryer had a broken belt. They answered my call immediately and said that someone would be in the area tomorrow afternoon after 2pm. I said that would be fine and sure enough the repair man called me about 3 and we met at my house about 4. So far so good. It was pretty hot in the garage being it was in the middle of the big heat wave, but certainly not unbearable as there is some ac in there. He struggled pretty hard to get the belt on and after about 3 attempts he finally succeeded. He complained the whole time about how hot it was and as soon as he got the belt on he announced that he was too hot to finish, and that he had to go home. He was clearly flustered. He also showed me some loose wires, and said that he couldn't put them back because they weren't labeled right. He said he would come back later in the week. Being out of clean clothes and not looking forward to a bigger bill, I went to the internet and did an hours worth of research. The short story is that every wire that was loose was clearly labeled as was the matching points where they attach to the dryer itself. It took me 10 minutes to finish fixing it, and i'm a farmer, not an appliance repair man. Once again, for a professional it should have been an easy fix, but he was frustrated and just wanted to go home. If he'd of made even a slight attempt to figure it out he'd of been done in 10 minutes or less and I'd be writing a nice report instead of this one. About a week later I got a bill for $113.69. $31.25 for a new belt. They are about $10 on Ebay, but that's alright, you expect a markup. And $75 for a service call. Not a bad bill at all, IF he would have finished the job or at least worked for a whole hour. I called them up and ended up talking to the same guy that came to my house. I said I didn't feel I should have to pay $75 since he didn't work an hour, and didn't finish the job. I offered to pay $50 of the $75, and he rudely refused saying that he was hired to fix a belt, and thats what he did. When he left my house the dryer was in several pieces. I guess i'm going to write a check for the whole thing because I don 't want to risk my credit, but it was a very unpleasant experience. I would definitely not use Tennis appliance again!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/ottumwa/tennis-appliance-svc-reviews-5043971.htm"},"position":8}]}

FAQs for boiler repair projects in Albia, IA
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need.
