The removal and installation went well. Noticed a couple things after they left . . . (1) To us the temp was set way too hot, even though the tech showed me where the dial was set and that this was a normal non-scalding temp setting. I must have had to turn the temp control knob a quarter turn counterclockwise to lower it over the next few days. (2) The water in general (hot and cold) did not soften after the installation. I found that the water softener was left unplugged. It's ok now but this is a step that the tech should not have overlooked. This is not directed toward the vendor, but I was pretty amazed and shocked at the markup that vendors charge for installing a water heater. 1/2 the cost of our service call was the retail cost of the heater itself, which means that $500 went to the installation cost, which was over just a 2-hr period. I've used Isley for other services and they are very dependable and good to work with. There were a couple of slip-ups with this particular call, but nothing we couldn't handle. We'll continue to call Isley.

Left a message on their phone at 10 PM Monday night and they called promptly the next morning and set up a time for the service tech to come. We were told if any of the techs finished early they would come right away to get our problem solved. Shaun fixed our problem in no time and explained what he did and what had probably caused the problem. As always, great service!

I had work done twice on my garbage disposal. I called their office and the office lady was wonderful and very helpful. Said they could have someone out in an hour. Found out I had a pipe clogged and no problem with my garbage disposal. They worked very hard and used the snake to clear it out. They worked 2-3 hours and were determined to get it fixed. They were wonderful!

I need to replace a leaking spigot and install a new one with existing water lines which are completely accessible in the unfinished basement. His estimate was $285 and $435. I pointed out that my neighbor had her inaccessible spigot replaced for only $213 and the plumber had to cut the ceiling and patched it back on in the basement. He said, "I don't care." I respectfully thanked his time, declined his proposal and paid for his trip. I called another A rate company on Angie's list and they proposed for $320 to do both.

I would rate them as an A on everything. They had 2 plumbers come out and they finished the job very quickly. They were very neat and cleaned up after themselves. The price was reasonable as well. The response time was very quick.
Description of Work: They installed an outside water faucet and they also fixed my master bath sink drain. They also checked all the drains in the house.

Could not adjust the temperature of the shower; they replaced the control valve. Now works just fine. He was quick and the bathroom was left the same as before he came. He also looked at the 2 outdoor faucets which leak and/or spray from the faucet. He said he would verify if parts were available. He called back and stated the parts were no longer available and gave us an estimate for replacement.
Description of Work: diagnose/replace shower control valve, and look at outdoor faucets for possible repair.

Andy showed up early, went down into the crawl space and diagnosed the issue. He explained how "curb boxes" and "meter pits" worked and told me exactly what my options were. This review is specifically about the initial Isley visit where I learned exactly what I needed to do in order to shut off the water. Andy was very helpful and saved me a lot of money and time by steering me in the right direction. Isley will be installing the shut off valve as soon as Citizens Water identifies how to shut off the water to my house.
Description of Work: Isley plumber Andy came out and gave me all of my options for installing a whole house shut off valve in my 50's limestone ranch. There is currently no way for me to shut my water completely off in an emergency, as the valve in the meter pit is not able to be turned. The trip charge was $25 and it was WELL WORTH IT!!

I told the whole story above. By 11:30, I had my sink back,and working disposible,and a functioning toilet. ON A SATURDAY WITHOUT PAYING ANY EXTRA<ANDNO ITIAL SERVICE CHARGE. Plumbing problems,call them
Description of Work: First,may I say this was a last minute call,on a Saturday,and the day before Mother's day. They answered the phona when I called at 8AM.tOLD ME THEY COULD HAVE A REPAIR OUT BY 10:00AM.And,It WOULD Not be overtime since it was before noon ON SATURDAY. If that does not get you to call them,try this, we had a broken tioletand a major leak under our sink,and he fixed both in under 30 minutes. Then my husband asked him a question about how the piping went up and then down at a rt. angle,Rik. showed him what the previous plumbers had hooked up wrong and had caused us to not be able to use our gargabe disposal. For this work he gave us a quote of $112(totao $212 for everything.) He then fixed this in about 20 minutes and for the first time I can use my disposal and my husband was able to remove the block of wood that had helped support the crooked pipes. He was courteous,and friendly,and knows his plumbing.

I was in a mess. We were expecting company, I was preparing dinner, and my kitchen drain backed up. It was 3:00 PM. I called Isley with my tale of woe. I had used them before and was always pleased. She said that their schedule was full but she would contact the dispatcher to see if someone could come after they were finished with their calls. By 4:15 PM two men came and efficiently had my drain running and the mess cleaned up in 45 min. I asked if they had a new disposal and they had one on the truck. Mine was quite old and I felt was not working properly. They were so polite and helpful. They even put up with my nosey dogs who had to get in on the repair!
Description of Work: Isley plumbers cleared a blockage in my drain and installed a new 1/2 hsp. garbage disposal.

The office promptly replied to my request for service and was able to schedule an appointment the next day. I received a quote from the technician that arrived for a new garbage disposal for $501.29. The rep stated that he always recommended one "level" up from the current model which I have had without issue for 7 years. I was surprised by the price and said I needed to think about it. I found the exact same product that was recommended at Home Depot for $84 dollars and am hiring someone else to install it. There is NO WAY this job was a $500 dollar job and I feel like I was completely being taken advantage of. This is why I do my homework both from the retail/manufacturer for products and Angie's list for Services! I won't ever use this provider again. When I called the office to complain the rep quoted a price in the 300 dollar range and said she "didn't know why" the other quote was so high. Service providers are supposed to recommend the best possible outcome for their client if they expect repeat service. I would have used them again instead they received $25 for a service call.
Description of Work: The technician assesed a drip under the kitchen sink and stated that the garbage disposal needed to be replaced.

I had a hose a bibb in the front of my home that leaked and sprayed water all over the front of the house, and whinned under pressure at the lower water pressure points with my hose. After having a few other plumbers come out to take a look at it, none of which knew how to fix this particular area, I called and spoke to Doug and he was very knowledgeable about this type of unit. To be sure he sent out the correct parts, he had me take a picture of the faucet and text it to him. As a result, he sent Rik out to replace this unit. Rik called before he arrived to let me know about what time he would be at my home, and he really was there as promised. Rik was honest and very knowledgeable about what needed to be done, and thouroughly explained the entire process of this replacement to me. He answered all my questions, was extremely careful with my home and furniture, and did a fabulous job replacing the unit. Not only that, he also discovered that my main water shut off value, is not working properly, so he installed a lever shut off in the area where the exterior hose bibb pipe came into my home, so I had an easy & correct water shut off value in case of water issues later. Rik installed an access panel that blends in with my finished ceiling. He showed me how to work everything, was thorough with his clean up. I will be calling on these people to replace the main water shut off valve in the next few weeks. I appreciated their professionalism, and their expert knowledge of their business. Thank you for taking such excellent care of me!
Description of Work: Replaced front exterior hose bibb. Installed access panel in ceiling to be able to get to this area when an emergency water issue were to happen. Installed a water shut off valve specific to this hose bibb access area.

Technician arrived on time, was polite, assessed and advised. situation could only be diagnosed with a teardown. Upon tear down, old pump still operational. Given labor invested in tear down, was asked if we wanted a new sump pump. Given labor invested, we said OK, as long as it solves the problem. New pump installed, same issue persists, now diagnosed to be a drainage venting problem. Technician did stay on task and devise a temporary solution, but fixing root cause will still require repair, and the new sump pump did not get us any closer to it. While new pump is indeed value, it was also an expensive $500 diagnosis

We recently had our dryer checked by Isley. They are great. We used them two weeks ago. It was reasonably priced and the quality of the work was good. The price was fair. We had a sock stuck in our vent and they just charged us for the call. They were honest.
