We came home from a out of town conference to find a slow dripping leak coming from our ceiling kitchen. When we first called the dispatcher (Marty) at first said they might not be able to get to us until the next day which was understandable as we were calling mid-day. When my wife told her we at least had where the problem was narrowed down, she said she would try and get someone out to us that day - which she did. The technician (Fabio) went step by step identifying the source, which was not easy as it was a very slow leak and could have been coming from a number of places. The technician was extremely professional and personable. The dispatcher than followed up later in the day to make sure everything was to our satisfaction - could not ask for better service.
Description of Work: We had a hard to find slow water leak in our kitchen ceiling which is on the middle floor of our three-story home. The service technician was extremely thorough, keeping us informed every step of the way. He quickly identified and corrected the problem. Cleaned out the culprit drain and repaired the sink fitting that was leaking when the drain backed up form the clog.

I contacted Dickerson Plumbing the afternoon of the 11th and they scheduled an appointment for the following morning between 8-9am. Joe, the plumber, arrived at ~8:30. He was very nice, even played with my dogs and quickly assessed the situation and determined the problem. He told me I had two options for pipe replacement and that the less expensive of the two, in his experience, worked very well. Naturally I chose the less expensive pipe and he fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes and my toilet works fine now. He explained exactly what he did and what was included in the bill. He was super nice, professional, friendly and prompt. He did the job quickly and left no mess. I highly recommend this company and if you are lucky enough to get Joe, you won't be disappointed. I think my boxer wanted to leave with him!

Overall, the service was excellent and I would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: We discovered a leak in the garage (in the wall) near the water heater on 6/29 in the morning. I called Jim Dickerson plumbing and they came out the same day-later that afternoon. Our repair person was Jeff Ross. He was on time, friendly and professional. They called ahead, like they said they would. Jeff quickly identified the sources of the leak and repaired it. He was very kind and patient, as we had kids running around and were in and out of the house. He was very detailed in his notation of where the leak was and left the piece of pipe he removed to show us the location of the leak. I would definitely recommend them-they provided same day service and they were professional and reasonable.

I am highly satisfied with this company. He is extremely honest and professional. He got things done that others have not been able to do. His staff is also knowledgeable and very helpful. They are prompt. It was everything I could expect in a service provider.
Description of Work: I used Jim Dickerson Plumbing & Electrical Inc in December of 2010. He unclogged 2 shower stalls, repaired a broken toilet, and replaced a vent under my kitchen sink. He also made suggestions for some further work down the road, which I am doing now.

Bad experience based solely on the phone call. Maybe they hired a temp for today?
Description of Work: Called for an estimate on fixing our gas light. The person answering the phone was cold and not helpful. Quoted their price as $140 per hour with a minimum of one hour and "the first 15 minutes is travel time so you have only 45 minutes of work time". Basically a "we have plenty of work" attitude and "we don't need more work unless you want to pay through the nose". Not sure how this company is in business.

Response from Jim Dickerson Co Plumbing Electrical HVAC
I am sorry you had this experience with our company. I called this morning and spoke with customers wife. She explained that our staff went over the pricing several times and felt that was all our staff member would tell her. She did say she was not rude but could not provide much information over the phone. In this situation we could not give a firm price to repair until we had diagnosed the problem. I have offered to send a technician out at no charge to diagnose problem and give an estimate to repair.

Jim Dickerson called to tell me they were on their way and arrived on time. Tim, who performed the service, was very pleasant and professional. The installation took about an hour and he did a great job. I have used this company before and, even though their prices may be a little on the high side, I will continue to use them in the future. You get what you pay for - quality service.

The plumber determined the problem was with the washer itself, not the plumbing. This was kind of a relief to me to know the plumbing was fine, because the house is only 5 years old. I've very happy with the service and would not hesitate to use Jim Dickerson's Plumbing again.
Description of Work: I had a problem with the cold water flow to my clothes washer. I could readjust the valve where the flow would return, but soon after it would go back down to a trickle.

Way too expensive. I called Jim Dickerson Plumbing because they were listed on the A.O. Smith website and they had high Angie's List ratings. Was told that the hourly labor charge was $140.00 and that was the minimum fee to come to the house. When I questioned this amount I was told that it was a "middle of the road" cost for plumbers in the area. I scheduled an appointment expecting a final cost of $140 plus parts. The plumber was here yesterday for a bit over one hour--but the invoice indicated 1 3/4 hours labor--all billed at the $140 rate. I was then told that "travel time" was added to the time actually spent on the repair. This was never mentioned previously, nor was the $5.00 "Gas Charge" that was also tacked on to the bill. We called the office and the $5.00 gas charge was deducted as was a $15.00 Angie's List coupon that I printed but I still felt that the labor charges were way out of line. The part cost $33.00 which seemed reasonable. The water heater is now working fine, but I still resent paying almost $100 more than what was a high cost to begin with.
Description of Work: Replaced one of two heating elements on A.O. Smith 50 gal. electric water heater.

Response from Jim Dickerson Co Plumbing Electrical HVAC
When any customer calls we explain in detail what are services include. When Member called she asked what our rates were. We told her the 1st hour includes 15 minutes travel and 45 minutes of work time with a minimum charge of 1 hour. Each additional hour is pro-rate every 15 minutes A normal element replacement usually can be done within the 1st hour. To replace the element you have to drain the heater and this took more time due to the age and condition of the heater. The heater is 14 years old and full of sediment. Our trucks are GPS tracked. I pulled a report for her address and we were at her home 2 hours and 8 minutes. Some of this time was spent on the phone with our customer concerning the charges. Our technician spent a solid 1 1/2 hours repairing her heater. I am sorry she feels we mislead her about our charges.

Quality of work seems to be high. However he stayed 2 hours for what every one told should be a 45 minute job and his price for what seemed like a few dollars of parts was over $80. If you use them, which I think you should, be sure to get an accurate quote and maybe offer to supply the parts. My parts were; less than a foot of plastic pipe and 8 plastic pipe clamps.

Scott came out the day after my call. He called and gave me a time he would be at my location. He didn't waste time figuring out what was happening. He solved the mystery as to why the light wasn't working and fixed it. He also gave me an estimate for another job, too high for me.

Since I had used Dickerson Plumbing before I was confident that I could use them again and be pleased with the service. My kitchen faucet was dripping (actually it was more like a steady stream) and also one of the bathtub faucets. I called about 7:30am on Monday and made an appointment for between 1-4 pm that was convenient for me. Fabio showed up about 3:30 and made kitchen repair within 10 min. The bathtub took longer since he did not have the correct washer size but Fabio said that he would come back the next day with correct item (My faucets are over 20 years old) Jim called me on Tuesday and advised that plumber was on the way to finish the job.Jeff R showed up and had the faucet repaired within 15 minutes. I plan on doing some upgrades and I intend to use Dickerson Plumbing. I am very pleased with the service. Both of the plumbers that came on this job were extremely nice and explained what they were going to do.I have recommended the company to several of my friends.

The plumber used a regular plunger to unclog the sink. Simple fix. I was shocked that I was charged an extra $10 for use of the plunger. I called to ask why, and was told it was standard procedure to charge for use of tools. I'm afraid to ask what it would have cost me if he had to use a wrench or screwdriver! Those sorts of charges, which automatically negate the Angie's List discount I get, make it no longer worth my while to use Dickerson, which I had been using for most of the last 12 years. I won't call them again.

We do not charge for the use of a plunger. The person you spoke to concerning this was mistaken and thought we had used an electric power machine to unstop your sink. This problem will be resolved and a check for $10 will be returned to you. We are sorry for any problems this has caused.

First we had someone here come out and check out our water heater thinking there was an animal inside it (from an awful smell we kept noticing). Nothing was found - then the lights in the house started flickering and buzzing came from the breakers - so I called again, and he came out and replaced some breakers and checked the connections. It did it again and he came back to check and replace more breakers - and noticed a strange surge in one of the nearby outlets - and BINGO - he discovered a burning wire behind the outlet that was causing the awful smell - and the shorts in the breakers. They were dedicated to fixing our issues and even compassionate about the awful smell and its mystery location - and although it felt a bit costly for each visit related to the same issue, it was clear they really knew their stuff. And they were prompt and professional and came out repeatedly and quickly. I will definitely call them again if we have more issues.
Description of Work: I called because our lights were flickering off and on - they came and replaced several breakers to bring them up to code (it is an older home) and checked their connections. By doing so, he also uncovered a fire burning behind one of our outlets in the laundry room - he was able to fix this - and it was a huge mystery solved.

From the initial visit to the quickly e-mailed work proposal to the completed project, things went very smoothly. The work was completed in one day to minimize "down time" with the kitchen. The technician brought a helper with him which made the work go more quickly. Both the Dickerson employees were professional in manner and easy to work with.
Description of Work: Dickerson Plumbing and Electrical installed recessed ceiling lights, under-cabinet lighting, a new ceiling fan with lights in the kitchen, and a new light fixture in the laundry room. The overhead and under-cabinet lighting required additional wiring and wall switches, including a dimmer function on the under-cabinet lighting. In the attic, the technician also secured the new wiring with staples to keep it in place. Before starting the job, the technician covered the counters, floor, and cabinet doors with plastic and put on protective shoe coverings.

We had a leak in front yard. City first said they were responsible, so we let it go without further investigation. Then city said they were not responsible. I was upset and called Dickerson Plumbing as I had used them before. Dickerson's sent someone right away when I called. Their guy first told me he would need to run a new line from house to meter. When I told him I thought it could be the irrigation system, he discovered that was indeed the case. He turned off the water to the irrigation system, but said he would not be able to make repair. He said I would need to call an irrigation company. He was here about 10 minutes, but charged me $120. I knew he thought that was too much (he even called and asked if he could charge half), but he said Mr. Dickerson said I would have to pay the full total. I did get $15 off for being Angie's List member. I felt that I was charged too much for time and service provided. They lost a customer.
