Top notch. Hector, the plumber, was fantastic. He was so nice and thorough. Fixed everything perfect, even showed me how to turn on my electric fireplace (it's a new house to me and I didn't know how to do it) and gave me ideas how to make my ice-maker work. They fixed everything in an hour and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely call them again and ask for Hector. I was so pleased with the experience.
Description of Work: I called them because I had a problem with water pressure in my shower. But by the time I called and the appointment I developed a problem with my toilet, wasn't flushing right and it was running.

Very responsive, came within a couple of days to give us an estimate, except didn't send the right guy, but acknowledged that and sent within 24 hrs another guy who knew exactly how to deal with our problem. Martin, the guy who came, was very knowledgeable, professional and effective with installing our unusual wall hung toilet. They did cost about twice what I was hoping to spend but at least the toilet is installed and it took Martin, from Thomas E. Clark to do it. I would definitely call them again for a job that requires real professionals!
Description of Work: Installed a wall hung toilet that had been partially installed by a plumber who disappeared on us, repaired a faucet with low pressure that 3 other plumbers had told us that we should just live with!

They are prompt and do quality work. The boiler had some initial setup issues, but they were good about coming out and making adjustments. I highly recommend them for service and price. They are also friendly and easy to deal with.
Description of Work: Thomas E Clark has done a variety of jobs for me, including a new high efficiency boiler and a new central air system. I have also used them for fixing leaks and unclogging drains.

I received a quote, though I apparently didn't need one. Wanted to make sure that I had all the necessary parts for the jobs to be done. After agreeing to the cost, I was able to schedule the work to begin in 2 days. The plumber who came, Martin, was very helpful, positive and confident. He had a fresh approach to my requirements and finished the larger part of the work in 2 days. Our house is over a 125 years old. Is often met with negative comments about the difficulty of doing the work I require. The plumber was prompt, cleaned up after himself and helped me to sort out my extra parts and order additional pieces. A real pleasure to know I have a reliable company to call on when I need work done.
Description of Work: Replace Drain and water supply lines to upstairs bath. Remove existing tub fixtures and install new tub and shower fixtures that were supplied by me. Add hand-shower to existing tub and shower, replace sink and toilet supply lines.

The estimator was very responsive and professional; he came on time, did a thorough inspection, answered questions and returned calls, and provided an estimate that was in line with a second estimate from another company. However, he also assured me that they would also move a thermostat, but didn't include it on the written estimate. The installation was almost perfect; the boiler delivery was slightly delayed, which delayed the installation. The workers stayed to finish it, though, one worker missing his evening class to do so. They ran out of time and couldn't install the digital thermostats so they gave me 2 temporary replacements. The next week they came back to finish, but insisted the thermostat couldn't be moved. Luckily, another contractor here on a separate project was able to show them how to do it; if he hadn't been here to work it out, I would not have gotten what I wanted.
Description of Work: I have three-zone heating, which was served by an aging boiler and 2 broken thermostats and valves. They removed and replaced the boiler and all related parts, replaced 3 old thermostats with new digital ones, and relocated one of the thermostats in the process.

Thomas was courteous, instructive and a real pro at his work. He worked quickly and efficiently. He checked all the faucets and toilets in the house for leaks and left me feeling reassured that everything was working okay.
Description of Work: Thomas installed a dual stop valve under the kitchen sink so we could hook up the ice maker in our new refrigerator. He instructed us on how to do this ourselves (at my request) and provided us with all the materials to do so.

The service I received from Thomas Clark was flawless. When I called initially, the receptionist was courteous, knowledgeable & clearly explained my options: purchasing the replacement disposal and insta-hot myself over the internet and having them install, or purchasing the equipment through Thomas Clark (which I ultimately did due to the better warranty options). The plumber (Thomas) showed up right on time, was friendly, clearly very experienced and more than happy to answer my numerous questions. He took the time to show me multiple disposal models off the truck to compare size vs. horsepower vs. price. He installed both units without a hitch, and carefully tested three separate times for any leaks. He also noticed a couple of minor fittings that had worn out that he replaced at no charge. I really like Clark's fixed rate pricing model. There are no worries about how long the installation takes. This is my third time using T. Clark, and I would recommend them enthusiastically.
Description of Work: Thomas Clark Plumbing replaced my broken garbage disposal and an old insta-hot hot water dispenser and tank that had rusted out.

Inspection was not as thorough as I hoped. Technician said the other things I wanted done (checking for dirty coils and blower cage, etc.) could be done on another visit. I have made four phone calls over three days to clarify what would be done when I schedule another visit, and they have not been returned. So, I did not get what I wanted, and I don't think I'm going to.

Response from Thomas E Clark Inc
I JUST LEARNED OF THIS POOR RATING AND WANTED TO RESPOND IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE WE TAKE TREMENDOUS PRIDE IN OUR FAMILY BUSINESS' NAME AND REPUTATION. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS CALL I FOUND THAT THE MEMBER DID NOT CALL FOR "ROUTINE MAINTENANCE", BUT RATHER "AIRFLOW AND HIGH HUMIDITY PROBLEMS." OUR TECHNICIAN HAD A FEELING THAT THE SYSTEMS WERE OVERSIZED FOR THE HOUSE, BUT COULDN'T BE SURE WITHOUT DOING SOME DETAILED LOAD CALCULATIONS AND SYSTEM EVALUATIONS. THESE CALCULATIONS TAKE SOME TIME. WE QUOTED THE MEMBER $700 FOR THE LOAD CALCULATION AND SYSTEM EVALUATIONS(2). HE CHOSE NOT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE, CITING THAT IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. HE NEVER CALLED US BACK AFTER DECLINING TO DO THE WORK. WE TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN OUR PROFESSION AND WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY SERVICE POSSIBLE. WE ARE CONSTANTLY SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO UPGRADE OUR SERVICES THROUGH TRAINING, TECHNOLOGY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. WE INVEST IN OUR EMPLOYEE'S EDUCATION MORE THAN MOST COMPANIES. WE STRIVE TO MAINTAIN A WORKFORCE THAT HAS BOTH CUTTING EDGE KNOWLEDGE AND LONGEVITY. OUR STAFF AVERAGES 20+ YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY, AND APPROX 10+ WITH OUR COMPANY. THAT IS RARE IN THIS INDUSTRY. WE ARE NOT THE CHEAPEST IN TOWN, BUT WE'VE BEEN FAMILY OWNED/OPERATED FOR 115+ YEARS AND COUNTING. THE CURRENT OWNERSHIP HAS SMALL CHILDREN, SO WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I'M SORRY THE MEMBER FOUND OUR QUOTE UNSATISFACTORY, BUT IT IS A FAIR PRICE FOR THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE HE WOULD RECEIVE IN RETURN. MICHAEL HARTMAN, PRES.

They came out one day after I called, and performed the work in less than two hours. They arrived in the middle of the three-hour window I was given when making the appointment. They were polite and cleaned up after themselves.

Excellent. The job took 3 days. They called before they came to say they were coming and showed up on time. They were very nice guys, very professional, and did a great job. I thought that the overall price for the job was a bit higher than it should have been, but I chose them instead of a cheaper quote because the guy who did the estimate for me (Aldo) was very professional. He impressed me by not giving me an estimate on the spot, instead he said that he didn't want to say until he could work up the numbers in his office properly. On the plus side, the estimate was the cost, not a penny more or less, which is nice. The guys who did the job were also happy to answer questions for me, and they did a great job at keeping me (a moderate "do-it-yourselfer") informed of what was going on and so on. I would definitely hire these guys again.
Description of Work: I had them move the location of the laundry room, which is not a small job. This included removing part of the concrete slab to run a new drain line, installation of the drain line, water lines, vent tubing, electrical wiring, and capping off the old pipes (and, of course, moving and hooking up the W/D in the new location).

Thomas Clark may be a very good company, but this one serviceman named Richard was not good. He would go out to the truck and stay 10 or 15 minutes on multiple occasions for a simple job.
