"Thank you!!!"
"Thank you for the honest review of your experience. I must admit that I can't recall this job off the top of my head (it was 9 months ago), so I reviewed the paperwork to see what that might reveal. It appears that you have a power vent water heater (more electronics than a standard unit) and our technician was not able to diagnose the problem by looking. I assure you that our technician had the knowledge to figure out the problem, however it appears you declined our proposal for diagnosing the problem more thoroughly (the diagnosis also counts towards the final cost of repairs). Without the ability to do more than just look at the unit we were not able to tell you the exact problem. Thanks again for sharing your feelings about the service. Also, as usual there was no charge for our visit."
Employee observed we needed the toilets set and wanted $1,168.80 or $389.60 per toilet. Just having toilets re-set at our previous residence this charge is out of line. When I declined the charge and asked the employee to leave the residence the employee stated he had made an error in the estimate of $70.00 per toilet.
Just after the employee departed the residence I received a call from the company who attempted to explain the reason for the incorrect estimate. My belief is that trades people who know you have waited a few days for their arrival and know you have probably not had another company estimate and knowing you want the work done and they are there - try the $1,168.80.
If the estimate is incorrect the company should train their employees or are they trained?
"I can appreciate how you feel in this situation and I admit we made an error in our original bid. However, we were the ones that brought this to your attention and apologized. We were not dishonest and I feel it is unfortunate that your previous experiences with service companies has brought you to be so untrusting and cynical. I must also point out that we charged you $0 for our visit. I stand by our 10 years + reputation of honest and ethical business practices and wish you the best of luck moving forward."
Chad is a real pro and an expert at working on old plumbing systems that need to be updated. Our 1927 Brookside had the original plumbing in a bath that had never been updated. The tub had an old spout and five water handles. The old tub drain was rusted and ugly. The hardware was also ugly but had probably never been replaced because previous owners realized how much work would be involved. Chad gave us an item-by-item estimate that accounted for the the best- and worst-case scenarios, things that could result given the age of the house and depending on the condition of the pipes under the bathroom. His estimate was not the cheapest; however, I felt it was the most honest and the most informative. He accounted for all the little things that can go wrong in a nearly 90-year-old house.
Because we were having the bath redone, Chad was willing to schedule his work between the work other contractors were doing. He spent several hours removing the old plumbing, reconfiguring the pipe system, and tying everything in. He was very careful, and because of this (I feel), the old tub drain pan held and did not have to be replaced. (Other contractors either hadn't wanted to do the job because of the chance of that pan breaking or had said there was no chance it wouldn't break and so gave me sky-high estimates.)
Chad let me know every step of the way what he was doing and how the work was progressing. In the end, I would hire him in a moment. In fact, we hope to close on an even older home soon and I plan to hire Andy's Pipe Dream to do the plumbing updates in the baths of that house.
"Thank you for the review. We appreciate you taking the time."
Part of the reason I went with Andy's Pipe Dream is that each time I have used them, I get a knowledgeable person on the phone that listens to what my specific problem is and gives me information on how to deal with it. In this case and in prior times I have used this company, they are quick to come out and get the problem under control. In this instance Chad came out the same day.
I have used other plumbing companies since moving here but this is the only company with this level of interaction and responsivness.
"Thank you for letting us know how we are doing."
But, from beginning to end, working with Chad (and telephone conversations with Andy) was a pleasure. He didn't pressure us for additional services at all.
Before giving us an estimate, Chad examined the entire length of pipes in our crawl space. He found that the line through the yard was copper and so were our hot water pipes -- so neither needed to be replaced. He measured the distances for the pipes. He gave me an estimate during the visit.
Scheduling was quick, the work done in one day -- and our water flow is FANTASTIC. I couldn't be more pleased and I will happily recommend Andy's Pipe Dream - and Chad specifically to all my family and friends.

Morning of 8-18-14 head the sump pump running consistently with no water discharge. Disconnected from electric power, went to Angie's List, contacted Andy's Pipe Dream. Explained the problem and said although not over flowing presently, I was feeling anxious and wanted to know if they could come to my home to fix the problem. I knew by noon that they would come first opening between 4-6. Arrived same day about 4:00 pm. Chad J, employee sent, was very friendly. He evaluated the discharge system to ensure it wasn't a block drain. After determining that it was not , evaluated the sump pump and stated could see about possible repairs. Stated they recommend replacing those over 7 years old. Since my pump was 10 + years, I decided to replace the pump. Chad replaced the pump and left the area clean and neat. The new pump is quiet and efficient with a 3 year warranty. I was impressed that my water problem was addressed before the end of the day, felt the service was excellent and the installed price was acceptable. I recommend others use Andy's Pipe Dream. I will use them in the future.
