Long Plumbing & Heating","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"ME","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Paul C."},"reviewBody":"Terrible experience. In the future I wouldn't hire Brian to change a washer in my garden hose. On the plus side, he is responsive by telephone and arrived on time. I had requested him to remove two toilets in my house and to install the two replacement toilets that I had purchased at Lowe's.
He removed the first toilet and placed it in the bathtub to drain. After the water was out of it, he carried it to his truck for disposal. The bathtub had a coating of black dirt from having the toilet drained there. Wouldn't you think he could've put down some rags or some other material, not only to absorb the filth, but to reduce the chance of scratching the tub. There was also a fair amount of dirt on the bathroom floor that was not there prior to the job. He mentioned the dirt to my wife, but did not clean it up. He then installed the new toilet and moved on to the guest bathroom.
These bathrooms are small; it's not like I could stand there to watch over him. He repeated the same dubious practice of placing the old guest toilet in the shower to drain it without placing any absorbent or cushioning material under it. He carried the second toilet to his truck. While he was outside, I looked at the wall that had been behind the tank. It was black with mildew! I wiped it down with a disposable wipe. A stain remained, but at least it wasn't as horrible.
At that point I went back to the master bath and looked behind the newly installed tank. Once again, the wall was not only black with mildew, but there were areas of paint delaminating from the wall. The old tanks fit closely to the walls. We were unaware of the mildew behind the tanks. I remarked to Brian about the mildew. He recommended a product that he said was available at Lowe's. I couldn't help but think that he must run into mildew on walls behind toilet tanks often. Why doesn't he carry some of the mildew product in his truck and at least wipe down the wall behind the tank? Or at the very least, mention to the homeowner at the time the appointment is made to check behind the tank and be prepared to take remedial action if required?
As part of the job he installed two new hoses. All other materials were provided by me. I asked him what I owed him; he said,"$225.00." He did not provide an invoice, nor tell me a breakdown of the cost of the hoses or his billing rate. I believe he was here slightly less than two hours. I could've asked for a breakdown and/or a written invoice, but frankly, I wanted to move on with my day which included cleaning up the dirt in the two bathtubs and floors.
It didn't end with the cleaning up after him. A couple of days later, my wife pointed out a chip in the porcelain on the base of the master bath toilet. The chip was near the bolt that holds the toilet to the floor. The chip was somewhat hidden by a smear of plumbers putty. Upon further investigation I discovered that the decorative caps that hide the floor bolts were glued to the toilet with putty instead of being held in place by the plastic threaded inserts that were supplied by the manufacturer. The bolts themselves were rusty and they had steel nuts on them. They were the original bolts, not the new ones that came with the toilet. Was the chip in the porcelain there when he took the toilet out of its crate, in which case he should've pointed it out? Or did he cause the chip with his wrench when he was tightening the old nuts, then hide it with putty? We'll likely never know.
I called the manufacturer of the toilet. They said that the chip could result in a crack that could propagate through the porcelain. I then called Brian to explain the situation to him. His response was that if I had purchased the toilet from him, he would stand behind it, but since I provided it, I was stuck.
This gets worse. I removed the chipped toilet myself. I discovered that not only had he reused the old bolts, but that he didn't remove the original wax seal. He just slapped the new wax ring on top of the original, then set the new toilet. I scraped off the two wax rings. I obtained a new toilet.
Prior to installing the new replacement toilet, I washed the wall, spackled the places that needed repair, primed and painted the wall. When I installed the newest toilet, I used the hardware and wax ring that came with it. The decorative caps are held in place by the plastic gizmos provided by the manufacturer.
I have not removed the guest toilet yet. I did check for putty and found none. On that toilet he used the plastic gizmos to attach the caps. However he didn't tighten the bolts that hold the tank to the bowl. It's not leaking, but it wiggles around when I touch the tank. When I do get around to removing the toilet to clean and paint the wall, I expect to find two wax rings.
I don't see Brian Long as a "professional." He seems to me to be a slap-dash opportunist with a concept of cleanliness not normally associated with a professional. There is no excuse for not removing the old wax ring and rusty bolts. I do not recommend using him for plumbing services.

These people are awesome. I read the previous reviews for housecleaning and decided to go with Pro Clean because they had the most reviews and they were all positive. When Shawna arrived with another worker (I apologize I don't remember his name) in a small car, I started getting concerned, but my fears were unfounded. My house had 10+ years of dirt and grime and pet hair and everything else you can think of.... as well as being just plain messy. I told Shawna that we needed to put our house on the market and that it was going to happen soon and that I needed to get it cleaned as soon as possible. Shawna gave me an estimate over the phone of about 8-10 hours and was able to schedule the cleaning for 2 days after my call. I was a bit afraid to have someone come to my house because it was such a mess, but she never made me feel bad about my poor housecleaning habits.
My den was a mess, papers and books and toys and games all over the place. They asked what I wanted to have done.... I was just ashamed at how it looked and asked if they would just clean the floors. To my surprise, shock and amazement they not only cleaned by floor but organized all that stuff. They organized so many things in each of my rooms (not just the den). I didn't need to do a thing to get ready for a showing of our home the next day. I cannot thank them enough for going that extra mile. The floors in all my rooms (mostly hard wood) look amazing! My house looks so good, cleaner than it has been in a very long time. I almost don't want to put it on the market! Their products do a great cleaning job and leave a clean smell without an overpowering chemical smell. It just smells clean! Exactly how you want it to smell. I cannot believe how good my house looks. It didn't look this good when I moved in 10 years ago. They worked so hard and did such a wonderful job. Very nice, very professional just a wonderful experience. The level of work they deliver is well worth the cost of their services. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs cleaning done.

This consisted of removal of all bug, bird and other residue that typically builds on your car between cleanings. Next they did the wheels and wheel wells, certainly to a level I would typically not think of doing. The rest of the cleaning process took on a very systematic approach. After the car was washed they proceed to ?clay bar? the car. For those who are unfamiliar with ?clay bar?, it?s a deep cleaning product that removes road grim, grit and other particles that become embedded in the ?clear coat? of your cars paint and detracts from the shine and overall appearance. It?s those particles that you can actually feel when you run your fingers over even a clean car that makes it feel a bit rough to the touch. Important note; ?Clay bar? done incorrectly can do more harm than good; you can ruin your paint job; but when done properly restores a finish to showroom condition, possibly better. Now that they had the car completely clean, came time for the finishing process. The polishing and use of the multiple buffing and polishing tools again were done to perfection. (Note: I may be able to buy similar tools as well, but may not necessarily know or learn how to use them properly or with the precision as a professional detailer.) Interior: Rich used an air system to blow out the dirt and sand in the floor and trunk mats that does a superior job at removing debris. But his use goes above and beyond to do even more. By using a special attachment to the air gun, Rich was able to restore the texture and appearance to the floor mats to an almost new state. The interior was spotless. He offered to treat the windshield for a small up-charge, which I was happy to agree to, with a product that is designed to last up to 6 months, longer than some other well-known rain repellant products. The Result: The car looks spectacular! It truly looks better than the day I received it from the dealer - Period! Observation: I think of myself as a ?car guy?. I am pretty critical of my car?s appearance. Typically not even a dealer goes to the level of detail as Details Matter LLC does to bring out the beauty of your car. Their service can prolong and enhance the appearance of any car. Your car is typically a major investment so why not show it off.

We were still packing so to make it go faster, one of the movers asked if it would be helpful to take the boxes we were finished taping to get them out of out way. That made the process go faster for us and kept us ahead of the movers since we weren't moving around boxes in a small room. They were polite and professional and I spent a little less than they quoted. The suggestion to hire 3 movers at the higher rate saved me plenty. They didn't break 1 thing.

FAQs for dirt hauling projects in West Bath, ME
The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
