Ridiculous. He opened up the door to the attic & took a sniff & said everything was ok. It was a complete waste of money.
Response from Drake Mechanical
"Our records show that we have not worked for this customer since November of 2013. Invoice states that we went out and showed the customer how to operate their gas fireplace. No complaints were received at that time or since then according to notes in quick books. Not sure why the sudden review in 2017. Thanks, Nick Drake"

They are ok. I had to call around until I got somebody. Even though it wasn't an emergency, it was difficult to get somebody on a schedule. There's not many plumbers around. They were the one's available.

He didn't have the part. Had to go to store to get part myself so he could install it. If there is a common part in the water heater that has problems, should be carried in the truck.

Since I was not paying for this work I didn't pick the company but...they showed up when they said they would. They were kind and professional and answered all questions that I had.

They didn't diagnose the furnace problem correctly. Whenever we inquired about it, that was why we went with them, and then we just decided that they weren't giving us the information and the expertise that we needed and I think they didn't have full time people. The fellow that came out was kind of part time and he just didn't seem qualified. I think generally they had a good reputation and everything, but I don't know what happened with us. I wouldn't say that they were bad, I just think that they hired some part time people that were probably not up to the challenge. They came out before several times and we were happy with their service, but it was somebody different. I think it was comparable price-wise. We didn't get what we wanted. They were quick to respond. They came out when we called. They were on time. The first guy that came and serviced everything did a pretty good work and they seemed efficient and everything.

Home owners warranty covered the majority of the cost we just had to co pay. The guy that came out here was very professional and I think he has to order a part and come back and fixed the problem.

They did a good job. He did my neighbors too. So when he was there I went over there and talk to him and he come over and fit mine too. They are decent people. They had to go back to my neighbor's house twice and didn't charge him for it and he came to my house and then he had to go back to the shop to get the piece of stuff and he didn't charge for it either, so it worked out pretty well. I would recommend him.

I wasn't happy with their service and what they ended up doing. My husband is going to be reworking it. We were unhappy about where they plumbed things up, the kind of drain that they put in and the price that they charged to do it. The put the wrong kind of pipe connection underneath the sink, making it a T instead of a preferred connection. The water drains from both sides of the sink and it just kind of clashes into each other instead of it having a regular flow. The drain in the sink is really this bizarre design that makes it difficult to get the food out of there. The person who installed it did it without saying anything. It doesn't match the other side and it's going to have to be replaced. There were some other things, too. It was my worst experience with a plumbing company, but I don't think it was the company. I think it was the person who came out.

I wasn't completely satisfied. I had another plumber come in behind them. He fixed somethings that they didn't do quite right. They were polite and nice, they just didn't do a thorough job. They came out on time.

It was horrible. When the guys came to fix the leaking shower, they had access to the back door of the bedroom- he started and said he had to get some more tools and left for four hours. He finally came back and he fixed it. I had bought all the fixtures and there were extra faucets for the bathtub- he took that with him and I asked him to have that sent back. They billed me for eight hours of labor when he was there for like two hours. I ended up paying 900 dollars for a job that should have been 300 dollars. I would not recommend them. I contacted them and told them that he left from like 9 to 2pm but they were like he was on the job. I told them it was not at my house but they wouldn't change the bill because the guy had lied that he had been here for eight hours.

They’ve been extremely good. We’ve always stuck with them because we’ve always gotten good results from all of the stuff that they have done for us. Everything is fine. They are very good about showing up when they said they are going to. They call beforehand and they explain. They are very professional and thoughtful when they are here. We’ve never had any problem with the quality of their service. They do a good job. We pay on a yearly basis and it’s reasonable.

It was fine -they did a great job. They were very professional and gave me some hints on what I could do to keep it from happening again. It was a good visit. I thought the price was reasonable. The A.C has not broken down since.

It was fine. They did a good job. They came out and took care of our problem in and orderly fashion. We were pleased with them. He took care of it and was gone. It wasn't real memorable but it certainly wasn't something that we didn't like. He took care of it.

It went very well.  I would recommend them.  They did a good job.  They were there when they said they would be there.  They fixed our problem in reasonable time.  The price was not that outrageous, it was reasonable.   

They were punctual and very professional.  We were happy with them that is why we had them back the second time.

Part of it was on a warranty. We paid a part of it that wasn't on a warranty. They were very professional and clean. They took care of our unit well.
