PRICE - The price was very good. I got an estimate from one of the big box stores and the quote was over $350 higher.
QUALITY - The higher price from the national "discount" store was for a Rheem water heater that was the same size but the valves were plastic instead of metal, the element was inferior, etc. In other words, the plumber offers a better built unit for less money. In addition, the plumber to be used from the big box store did not have as good a reputation.
RESPONSIVENESS - Sunday evening call and a Tuesday afternoon install. Messages were answered, but usually with a delay. Did receive call from workers when they were on their way with a more definite arrival time.
PUNCTUALITY - The arrival time kept getting pushed back but I was promised it would be installed on Tuesday and the work was completed just after four that afternoon.
OTHER - Two workers arrived, worked together quickly and efficiently. Any questions I had were answered. The workers cleaned up after themselves and old heater and all packaging were hauled away or placed in Recycle Bin. The entire process from arrival to departure was just under an hour.
Overall - Good price, good quality product with quality install. Would not hesitate to use the company again.
Scheduling the work was slightly difficult. I am not sure if it was intentional, but my calls were never answered; instead I always had to leave a message and wait for a call back. Usually this only took a couple minutes, but at other times I had to wait several hours before hearing back. When the people came out to do the job they arrived about 30 minutes late, but I don't entirely blame them for that; as the GPS doesn't handle my street address very well. Still, they had my number and could have called for better directions if this was a problem.
I don't know how much to expect to pay for such a task, but the work was done in less than 40 minutes and they charged me $30 for materials. With two people working and the cost of materials, the price doesn't seem excessive, depending on how far they had to travel.
I first called (Willie Saul) never called me back and still has not called me back. I am not sure why because we know them from church and have used them in the past and they are really great people. In fact, they were the ones who installed the hot water heater we were replacing (13 years old which from what I hear is awesome life for a water heater). So I am not sure what happened there.
I got an estimate from Mr. Rooter. They were punctual to respond, worked with my timetable and had a guy out to give an estimate within a couple of hours. But their price was nearly DOUBLE ($980) what I eventually paid with After 5. Mr. Rooter also said we could provide our own water heater and they would install it for $520 and warranty it for 180 days. Yokay.
I then called MEGAplumbing who we have used in the past and loved. They no longer do residential. They referred me to After 5. I am SO glad they did.
Mr. Cook called me back promptly. Gave me a rough estimate of between $550-650 over the phone to replace the water heater with one just like it but brand spanking new :-) I said YES! Please! :-) They were out within 2 hours to do the work. They came, got to work and had it all in and out within about an hour and a half. I had hot water right away! And ... the best part is - the cost was $600 ... not even the $650. He could have gone to the highest amount he quote but he didn't. I think that shows integrity.
I am more than pleased with this company and will be calling them again for several other small jobs that we have been putting off. And if I ever need a big job taken care of I no longer need to call around. I have a new plumbing company. :-)
I think you will feel the same if you give them a try.
