In fact, the quote we signed was 8,800 but when Aaron saw we had sand, not clay, credited us $400. Who does that? I cannot understand the F reviews - it seems to be from those who didn't get an appointment? He is very busy and unlike many contractors, won't take on work if he can't schedule you in. I guess we got lucky. We would give Aaron an A++ if I could. He & his family run business were simply a joy to work with.

He is more expensive than most inspectors, but easily saved me thousands by providing plenty of ammunition to reduce the offer on the home to compensate for needed repairs, plus providing the peace of mind that the home was well inspected. Inspection was a full 6 hours for a 2300SF home, and could have been done about an hour less, but Patrick educates you as he notices things. So if you already feel educated, you may find it too long, but if you want or need the information, he will provide it.

There was one unfavorable review at that time; however, the company spokesman smoothly explained that away during our initial meeting. We were impressed with the work when it first started on 12/27/2013. The masons were amazing. They worked tirelessly throughout the coldest weather. When we moved up to working on the covered area we consistently started running into challenges with a lack of detailed plans and communication between Kyle and their subs. The project took over six months to complete and ended up being an exasperating experience. Jason was our project lead and he was horrible in every sense of the word. Lack of follow up, lack of ownership, dismal project management skills. We finally finished and are happy with the finished product. They say you find out a persons character when you see how they respond to adversity. Kyle proved to us that they have zero integrity and only pretend to be professionals. In December we started having serious plumbing issues. When the plumbers came to diagnose the problem they discovered that our sewer line had been broken and partially removed. Ironically this occurred at the dig site for the footers that Kyle put in. We had to have our newly completed landscaping and the steps to our deck dug up and the sewer pipes replaced. The expense so far has been several thousand dollars and the stairs haven't been repaired or the landscaping replaced. We contacted Jeff Miller to explain the situation, he listened, said he would see what he could do and we have not heard a word from them since. Some of the subs that Kyle uses are fantastic... the masons, electricians and carpenters specifically but you would be much better off being your own general manager.
UPDATE: In regards to the matter with Kyle Builders I want to better illustrate for you the severity of the situation despite the minimizing that Mr. Humphrey has done. In January when my inlaws were staying at our home all alone and we were vacationing in Mexico they started to experience significant issues with the plumbing?toilets would not flush, the sinks would not empty etc. We had experienced similar, less severe issues when all four of our grown sons had visited during the Christmas vacation. (My husband and I are empty nesters.) when my inlaws contacted my husband he immediately contacted our plumber to come assist them. The plumber after hours of inspection discovered that the main sewer line (NOT a sump line) was complete clogged and suspected a root or collapse of some sort. When he dug up the snow and frozen ground (which required the removal of the deck stairs and landing) it was clear that it was not a collapse but the line had been partially removed. There were broken pieces still in the hole but many were missing. He, not knowing any details of who built our deck, stated very emphatically that there was no way someone could cause that amount of damage to an active sewer line and NOT know. This left him as perplexed as we were as to why the construction by Kyle continued as if it had not occurred. I have included some pictures that the plumber sent to us on our vacation to give you some perspective. My husband is so infuriated by the response from Kyle Humphrey that he absolutely refuses to have him or any of his employees set foot on our property. Since he made no other offer for a resolution, you can consider this closed and we will only hope that our review saves others the experience we had.

The Cleanout ( opening of the sewer line outside the house) is under the deck. Brent had to access the sewer system either from bathroom or roof. To avoid making a mess in the bathroom, Brent went back to his place to get a ladder and went to work from the roof. The job took about an hour. After the job done, Brent took time to explain everything in detail. Highly recommended. The reason it was $195.00 is that there is no access of sewer system from ground level. If your Cleanout is outside the house and no need to do the job on roof, the cost is $125.00.
Great work on the fence repair and customer service!

Ended up with a major repair of sewer line. They completed the job in 1 day and left everything very neat for having to dig up the yard. The service was quick especially during the holiday season.

Perfectly. All employees were competent, friendly, clean and interested in doing a good job. The faucets and drains have never worked better. And no doubt the sewer line will be better than the nearly collapsed Orangeburg that was replaced.

Everything went great. We had no working sewer lines which was an obvious problem. One of the larger companies wanted over 15K for the same pipe bursting work. Another quoted 12K to excavate. We just didn't want to deal with digging up the landscaping. In fact, the quote we signed was 8,800...

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Rochester, MI
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
