Service was excellent. Tim was very professional but cost seemed very high to me. Since I was having problems finding someone to come to my home for repair I felt I didn’t have the option of seeking another estimate. I am a senior citizen and I felt like I was taken advantage of.
Response from Service Professor Inc
"Hi [Member Name Removed], We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with feedback! We are glad to hear that the service you received was great, but are sorry to hear that ultimately we did not live up to our five-star service experience. Finding a reputable company you can trust to take care of your home service needs can definitely be stressful, and we do our best to ease the stress of those situations. Our technicians are trained to always provide upfront pricing as well as options so you always know exactly what to expect moving forward, and you always have the option to choose what you feel is best for you and your homes needs. We would love to talk more about this and see what we can do to earn that five-star service experience. Please give us a call at your convenience at 616-871-1900! Thank you, [Member Name Removed]!"

Response from Service Professor Inc

Work was good. Price was outrageous. Should have went with a different plumber who could have done the job at far less cost. Service person tried to up sell projects around home for additional thousands. Just wanted the immediate job done, not additional sales pitch. Really regret having any contact with these people. Got tired of getting spam emails afterwards and finally told them to F off. Got a harassing phone call in response. Don't use these guys. You'll regret the bill and the treatment months afterwards. Way too much money and hassle for a simple pipe replace and sweat soldering.
Response from Service Professor Inc
"[Member Name Removed], I would like to start from the beginning. Even though we appreciate any and all feedback, even criticism, in an effort to continue to better our services for our clients, I believe readers of this review deserve the details of what transpired. You stated on the phone to us that you deliberately used our services solely because we answered our phone and were available as you were on vacation when you had a plumbing issue. You also stated that your "normal" plumber simply didn't answer his phone and wasn't available. You explained that we offered you the pricing, up front, and you agreed to the work before any work was started. To later call in and state that you were overcharged, told to you by that very plumber that did not answer your phone call, admitting that you only hired us and agreed to the options to get yourself out of the stressful situation you were in. I personally asked you if that is fair to us, or the clients that we couldn't serve that day due to serving you. You also acknowledged that you should have simply paid the $59 trip charge and waited for your normal plumber. An option that was provided to you, acknowledged also by you. We are a company, full of staff to better serve our clients. Part of that is to answer the phone, have techs available to service you, the client, in an acceptable timely manor. There was no harassing phone call made to you . I made it personally. It was only made because of your response to a courtesy email to our customer database letting them know of helpful tips to prepare for the ice storm that was to occur last weekend. Your reply to that email was full of profanity, admitted by you in your review. I assumed you would want a reply from the owner of the company after such a reply email as you clearly seemed upset. -Brad Krause, Owner"

Good service. Disappointed in quality of hardware. I thought the chrome would be thicker. Very thin so I worry about chrome bending and breaking.

If you have any questions or concerns about the hardware used please don't hesitate to call us directly and speak to management.

Words cannot express how impressed and grateful I am to Service Professor. I noticed some issues with our AC unit and called them to check it out. It was during some of the hottest days of summer and I explained I had three small children at home and we were looking for some help, quick. They showed complete care and compassion, worked to get Jonathon out the same day, and started to figure out what was wrong with out system. It turned out the issue was much more severe than we expected, but Jonathan took his time to walk through our options and offered his advice. We were treated like family. They even worked around our schedule of having trips to get the job done as soon as possible. Now, we have our AC again and I have a trusted company I will turn to for any of my needs. I cannot thank them enough nor can I recommend them enough.
Response from Service Professor Inc
"[Member Name Removed], we are so glad to hear you and your family are staying nice and cool again this summer! Treating customers like family and working around their busy schedules is what we're all about at SP! We appreciate you writing us such a great review, and look forward to serving all of your heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing, drain/sewer, and duct cleaning needs!"

Response from Service Professor Inc
"Hi [Member Name Removed], thank you for choosing Service Professor and thank you for the valuable feedback. We dropped the ball this time and would like to offer our apologies. We strive to deliver consistency and an outstanding experience 100% of the time, but the note in your file about time constraints was accidentally overlooked and we fell short. As simple as that. We hope that you will consider Service Professor again for your plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, and duct cleaning needs and we will continue to do our best to be the best!"

He did drain the tank, but kept insisting on receiving payment while hose was still connected to water tank & still draining. When finished, he said thermal coupler on water heater needed replacement for $270.is reason he couldn't get gas burner to restart. A REAL SHAM COMPANY. Called Plumber at cost of $170 and Service Pro tech had disconnected wire so it wouldn;t ignight I told Serv Pro owner I wanted the plumber bill reimbursed but did refuse. A REAL SCAM SERVICE PROFESSOR- Never let them in the house. He constantly was badgering us to INSPECT other plumbing connections upstairs & I told him he wasn't going anywhere except here in the basement water heater. God knows what he would have misconnected upstairs. Worst Service People to have anywhere near your home or appliances. COMPLETE SCAM ARTISTS> Angie should DROP them from your listings NOW!@!!
Response from Service Professor Inc
"Mr [Member Name Removed], This is Brad Krause, owner of Service Professor. I assure you that you did not speak with me in regards to this situation. If you would like to however, my direct line is 616-871-1903. Also, according to our records we show the date of service as 9/25/2018 and that your money was refunded on 9/27/2018. You state the date of service was 1/9/2019. There seems to be some inaccuracies in your review. Thank you in advance, I look forward to speaking with you."
