About us

Our company is family owned & operated. This statement can mean several things to different people. Let us tell you what that statement means to us. Not only are we family owned and operated, the company name is our name. When we provide services for you, we are attaching our personal name to that service. Therefore, we put special attention to each job because our own name is on it. When we say family, we mean family. Our employees are part of that family. Honest, hardworking, always striving to give you the plumbing, heating or cooling service you deserve. Each technician is either in training to reach his or her certification or is already licensed and continuing his education. You can never have over-trained mechanics. Our company is ''just the right size." We are small enough to know your name, but large enough to handle any problem you have. Our company is growing but at our own pace; keeping track of who and where we came from to make sure you get your plumbing, heating and cooling services whenever you need us rather than having to wait for weeks just to schedule an appointment.

Description of Work: I started using James A Wheat and Sons out of an Angie's List deal over a year ago (apologies this review is so late!). I have gone with them ever since because the technician they sent, James, was so great. He clearly knew what he was doing and was committed to getting the job done properly. The price was comparable to other similar services. My only complaint is that the company could not guarantee me a time frame during the day, which is tough because of my work schedule. The one way around that is to ask for the first appointment of the day, which I have been doing. Overall very satisfied.

Description of Work: showed up on time. nice. i left and my wife stayed behind. the reason we purchased the big deal: musty smell in kitchen faucet and hot water heater flush (heater is 2 yrs old). my wife was told the smell was the disposal (not true we clean it regularly and if you fill a cup and walk away from sink, the smell is in the cup), and the heater to new to flush. we were sent a follow up email with service plans (?) to buy, can't remember I deleted it. |i ended up changing the faucet aerator with an $10 kit from Amazon and soaked the faucet head in vinegar (smell gone). next i will flush the tank my self. waste of $75? no because i learned that something that small you should check it out yourself first. glad i didn't pay more. perhaps i should have stayed and insisted on the tank flush. i did not contact the company. probably should have.

Description of Work: It was fine. They did the basic work in a perfectly fine way but we had a couple of other issues going on when they showed up (having to do with our hot water heater and temperature) and they didn't seem to have a clue about some really basic plumbing issues. | |Also the guy charged me incorrectly (and didn't give me the discount) but the back office did fix it readily when I figured it out and called.

Description of Work: I don't recall the date or cost, but I was very happy with their service. I would call them again, but my husband insisted they somehow ruined the seal on the toilet in our power room but all they did was put some dye in it to see if it leaked (it didn't). The problem with the toilet didn't occur until two weeks later.
