Get matched with top sink installation pros in Ames, IA

"I called and got an estimate of $200 to adjust and weather strip two doors. He set up an appointment about ten days in the future, agreed to call and confirm when he was on the way. He did all that he agreed to do, adjusted and lubricated the doors, removed the old weather stripping, installed new weather stripping and adjusted the door closure.  He also adjusted the screen on my sliding patio door. Again the estimate was $200 but the actual cost was $115. I couldn't be happier and I should have had this done years ago.

"After living in our home for over 20 years heavy rain coming off the roof had caused the terraced landscaping in front of the house to sink about a foot and the concrete terrace blocks were nowhere close to level. We had a landscape engineer look at it and he never got back to us. We had a concrete guy look at it and he never got back to us. Then we had Chris with Professional Contracting look at it. He said he believed he knew what to do, which was to build two parallel retaining walls. In addition the steps to our house had also sunk down nearly six inches. Chris proposed building new steps and a new sidewalk, as well as a front patio (where the bulk of the water was channeling off the roof) to direct the water away. He seemed confident and we felt like he knew what he was doing, so we hired him. He and his crew arrived when promised. Chris works very hard and implores his crew to do the same. As they were working we decided to add another small front patio and a large back patio and Chris and his crew adapted to this change without complaint or delay. If anything, the two retaining walls were overbuilt. When they were done Chris made sure the ground around the concrete work was properly sloped and they cleaned everything up. About five months later I noticed that the one retaining wall was moving, being pushed by the dirt it was supposed to be holding back. Chris came to look at it. Given that it was overbuilt, we were both very surprised that it would start to move. Chris took full responsibility. He and his crew came back and excavated the dirt from between the two walls and installed very heavy chains from the top of the one that was moving to the base of the other one, to prevent any more movement. Then they filled the dirt back in so that you could not tell they had been there again. Given our confidence in Chris at that point, while they were doing this repair we had them install another sidewalk. Chris did the repair work without any charge. Chris will tell you that he is not the cheapest, but that he will do the job right. We firmly believe that to be the case. The fact that he came and fixed the movement of the one retaining wall promptly, and at a significant investment of time by his crew, with NO charge to us, proves that he will do things right or he will fix it. It has now been two years since this work was done and everything is looking good. You can probably find someone to do concrete work for less but you will not find someone to do better quality concrete work and to guarantee the results."

"The company was able to come out to look at our sinking garage within a week of initial contact. Reo confessed that he had never seen a garage laid without footings, and he wasn't sure how much it would cost to add them. I had another company come look and give me an estimate and called Reo back. Reo said he was confident he could do the job if needed, but if the other company had done it before, he would recommend using their service instead of his. While ultimately I did not hire this company, I appreciated their honesty and professionalism, and would not hesitate to call them for basement work or other work more in the scope of what they do."

"We had a dishwasher leak in our kitchen and Dave was referred to us by a family friend. What we thought was going to be an easy fix Dave uncovered the fact that this had been happening for sometime. Also stated he had just done one exactly like this. Our house was built in the 60's so there was a little un levelness in our kitchen. So because we could only see a little spot in the basement. Did not mean that the water had traveled all the way across our whole kitchen and was stuck in between multiple layers of flooring growing mold that we could not see. YUCK.
Dave advised us to contact our insurance company and there adjuster and that he would like to personally meet him here at our home.
Dave's recommendation was that the entire kitchen flooring ,plywood, and all of our cabinetry would have to be removed to open up the areas that had the mold to be able to remove it.
At first we were scared thinking Isn't there another way. An easier way of which there was not.
Dave met with our adjuster and to our surprise the adjuster agreed with Dave. Dave uses the same software as our insurance company does to write a claim so he even wrote the whole claim for the adjuster.
My next worry was that ahh great I have a $1,200 deductible that I am going to have to pay. Dave payed the deductible and we were ecstatic.
From the time of demolition start to the last day Dave was amazing. He went to Lowes with us at night to pick out all of our cabinetry,counter tops,floors,trim,paint, everything. We really appreciated that as our house was older and we knew Dave was more educated in the new modern touch's we wanted to bring into our new kitchen.
We went from old Oak cabinets to a beautiful dark mahogany that just has a wow factor. New double deep stainless steal sink that we just love with a touch controlled faucet.
We put linoleum back down as it was what we had and between us all we agreed that a new tile/ stone look would accentuate our new cabinets perfectly and it does.
There was an ordering issue with our flooring that pushed us back a week that we were not extremely excited about because we were still living in our home and it's just stressful having everything being re-done is just a lot .Either a technical error/ salesmen error Dave says what can I do to make you guy's happy i'm extremely sorry about the delay? Before we could say hey stuff happens no biggie he say's how's about I put new carpet in your living room this week while we are waiting on the linoleum out my my pocket? We both said no Dave you don't have to do that of which he refused and stated the carpet was old and he wanted from the front door to the kitchen brand new before he was gone and sure enough it was.

Dave is grateful guy that cares . He has a great bunch of men that work for him that also care.
. When you ask about his job site foreman you'll be in for a laugh because it is him."

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

"My disposer went bad and when I replaced it the existing plumbing would not line up and was kind of patch work anyway.  Time to get it fixed.
So I called Goering Plumbing because of the Angie reviews and John N, the service tech, came out the next day (on time).  John did a fine job of straightening up the issues and also took the time to discuss a few other matters with me which were a big help.
One month later and still no leaks.
Plus John was clean...  :)  No three day old, stinky clothes and crusty boots like the techs of a certain plumbing/sewer cleaning service that I have had the not-so-pleasurable experience of using in the past. 
I was also able to use the $40 trip charge coupon that Goering Plumbing has posted here on Angie - cool.
And speaking of money, just want to let you know that Goering's hourly rate is $90 with the first hour being fully charged.  I do not know if they breakdown the rate into, say, 15 minute intervals for subsequent hours.
All in all, a very good service call.

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."
