It went very badly. Mitch came to repair the connection, but cut the connection, and did not replace the cut piece. He tried to clamp it. I called back to tell him I smelled gas (our bedrooms are right over the furnace) and he said he would not come back that evening - and it should be fine. I was so terrified of the gas smell, I called the gas company who told me to shut the gas off at the main. We burn with a wood stove and it was a complete fire hazard. I called him back and he was extremely rude.
I called the second day saying I smelled gas and when was he able to come - he was frustrated and angry on the phone. I called the DPW and Town to see if there were any consume complaints about this business and if it was by code to cut the connection without replacing it, and just clamp it. I was so upset that we smelled gas and he did not want to come to fix the issue until the following day despite that we were in the middle of winter while we were burning wood.
After consulting with my family, I put some soapy water on the connection to see if it bubbled, so I could verify a leak in the gas line and it did. I then took a picture of it.
When he came by the next day, he wanted to replace the clamp again, rather than replace the piece he had cut he was angry and frustrated, said there was no leak - and he did not smell it. I then had to show him the picture so he would believe me and I asked him to put in a completely new connector so there would be no leak. He agreed and I agreed to not call back if there was an issue, I would call someone else.
The entire experience was upsetting and I joined Angies list to make sure this does not happen again. At least on this site, you can review people and see what their experience was. I did not want to leave a poor review, and in the end at least he fixed the problem. However, It was an extremely frustrating and terrifying experience when you have a gas leak and burn wood - you don't want to be careless with the safety of your family.
The job was quickly scheduled. The plumber arrived as scheduled and did a professional installation. (We provided the new toilets.) He also helped me carry the old toilets to the condo association's dumpster and installed a new shower head at no charge.
Overall we were very happy with AM PM Plumbing, would use them again, and recommend them to others.
The only suggestion for improved customer service that I would make is to consider picking up heavy plumbing items, such as toilets, that a customer may have purchased from a Lowes or Home Depot. None of the plumbing companies that we contacted, including AM PM, were willing to do that. At our Florida townhouse, all of the contractors were willing to do that. Fortunately, I had a large SUV to transport the toilets and a son who could help me carry them into the townhouse. An elderly or disabled person, someone without an SUV, etc. would not have that option.
Had the pipe just been fixed without the accusations and additional labor charges I would have been satisfied with the work and responsiveness. Unfortunately, I was left feeling berated and cheated.
