I sent an e-mail request and received a call within 10 minutes to schedule a appointment within 2 hours. Plumber arrived on time. He reviewed the situation, described what was needed and proceeded with the fixes upon my approval. Work completed within 2 hours. I would definitely use their services again.
Description of Work: Fixed leak in crawlspace and replaced and upgraded exterior faucet.

The disposal was the driver of my calling for a plumber. It would run quietly (sounds like something is moving, but not chopping up the food) & then quit altogether. When I push reset button, it would run for a few secs & quit again. The plumber "fixed" it, however 2 weeks later after running it 2 or 3 times lightly (definately no misuse on my part after the repair) the exact same thing was happening. Plumber came back out & said the warrantly was for 3 days from the repair. Maybe that makes sense for some, but I live alone & disposal doesn't even get turned on but once a week or so. I ran it before he left the 1st time, but not with food in it. Now - for $250 more (on top of what I spent 2 weeks ago) the disposal has been replaced. I am disappointed with the service. I would expect at least a little off the labor for the fact that the 1st fix didn't last what I would consider an appropriate amount of time. Jim Dickerson Plumbing did major repiping work for me as part of a renovation a few years ago - which was pricy, but fair & I was happy with that service. However I will not use them again for small repairs.
Description of Work: 1st visit was to repair kitchen sink disposal & fix 2 toilets.

Response from Jim Dickerson Co Plumbing Electrical HVAC
On 9/3/10 our technician unjammed the disposal in less than 10 minutes. The disposal appeared to be working properly at the time. It would turn on and allow water to move through the blades and not stop up. We don't like replacing an expensive part when it turns on and works after unjamming. She even said "she checked herself before we left". Most of the time this corrects the problem and the unit does not need to be replaced. Also while on site we completely rebuilt 2 of her commodes. This is what we charged her for, not unjamming a disposal. Since she had used her disposal a couple of times since our visit, we must have removed the jammed item from the blade on our visit. We did return 2 1/2 weeks later and the disposal was jammed again. At this time we recommend replacing the disposal. She agreed to the replacement. However, as a goodwill jester we will refund 15 minutes of our service call.

We had especially low water pressure in the house. This company came out the same day, listened closely to our explanation of the problem then got to work. They had to replace a part that regulates the water pressure, which has been common in our neighborhood. The service person worked for about 45 minutes and had the part needed with him. Cost of the part was about $100.00. They also honored the Angie's List coupon.

I called Jim Dickerson Plumbing on Thursday and an appointment was scheduled for Saturday afternoon. I pulled down the ceiling exposing the section of pipe and removing the wet insulation. Fabio arrived about 30 minutes after the scheduled time and found the problem immediately. He completed the work in an hour and no more leaks. He was very courteous and clean up water and all parts. I would definitely use Jim Dickerson again.
Description of Work: I had a leak under the kitchen sink. It seemed to come and go. I had a plumber from another company about a week before I called Jim Dickerson, he replaced the line to the hot water on the faucet and assured me that that was it. He also replaced the turn offs under the bathroom sink and the prices were very high. So I did not call him back. The problem was found to be the cut offs under the kitchen sink. These were replaced along with sections of the pipe that connected to the cutoffs.

Our appointment was for 8:00am. Scott called at 7:50, and said he would arrive in 10 minutes, which he did, as promised and right on time. He was friendly and efficient. I would definitely hire Jim Dickerson Plumbing & Electrical again!
Description of Work: We called Jim Dickerson Plumbing & Electrical to replace a bathroom fan that had stopped working. Scott, the electrician they dispatched, first suggested that we simply swap out the motor in the fan for a new one to save the expense and headache of cutting out the drywall to install a new fan, but he quickly discovered that it was the wall switch, not the motor, that was broken. Scott replaced the switch, everything works like new, and we only spent $2 in parts!

The employee called and notified us when they would arrive and were very courteous and professional. He thoroughly checked the areas to be converted for gas and gave us an estimate. I mentioned that we needed an electrician to convert the current electrical outlet under the electric cooktop. He called the electrician that works for the company and scheduled the appt. the same day. The electrician was excellent and completed the work within an hour. He explained everything he did and gave me an estimate on a future job we would like done. We decided to go with someone else on the gas plumbing job, as the estimate was higher. But there service was excellent.
Description of Work: Had a 220v electrical outlet converted to a 120v outlet to allow for us to replace an electric cooktop with a gas one. Also got an estimate on adding new gas lines to our new cooktop and our gas dryer.

there was a mixup with scheduling with the original appointment, but they were able to reschedule the next day, the electrician was prompt the next day and found my problem very quickly - resolved the issue and did extra work since they had to charge me for a one hour minimum. i was happy with the experience except for the original appointment which wasted several hours of my time.
Description of Work: there was a simple electrical problem which was caused by my husband doing some remodeling. We thought there might be a problem at the fuse box and my husband did not feel qualified to make the repair. The electrician identified the problem right away and made the repair.

Description of Work: I had a water leak from my 3rd floor piping into my 2nd floor living room. As expected, he needed to cut a hole in my ceiling to access water pipes. Problem was immediately found: during construction flooring crew had driven a nail into my supply line piping. Bad section of pipe was removed, new section installed. All in less than one hour!

any extras were priced outrageously so i shouldn't have expected any difference. on two other occasions i flatly refused his price and stated a lower price which he accepted but why should i or any homeowner be forced to take that action. i find that many providers, once they get a good Angie's List rating let the rating go to their heads and price sheets. i feel this is definitely a case in point. the major jobs were performed well. i should have fallen back to my regular plumber at that point. i must say the fine work was overruled by the negative pricing experiences and for that i am sorry. i'd have preferred to be able to write a glowing report but that cannot be.
Description of Work: installed new tank less gas water heater and relocated electric service, also redid kitchen and main bathroom including creating a new laundry area. the quality of the work was usually fine but the problems arise when we entered the area known as 'changes' when i considered the areas in some cases to be within the parameters i described to the estimator. then we had an issue of addressing some additional wiring in the bath and i agreed and was told we would track 'time and material'... this is a roughly 5X5 BATH and the total for the wiring was over $1000. unreasonable at best and outrageous in more common phraseology.

I called company at 8:30 am, left my name and phone number with Marty, asked her to call me back, after seeing a company truck at my neighbors house. Marty never called back, and I had to then call my neighbor to speak with plumber, Brian, about my job. I mentioned that the office had not called me back. Brian, the plumber, said he would call the office, and get back to me. After calling the office, he drove across the street to my house, 20 minutes later, after finishing up the job across the street. I showed him the broken pipe, and he then went out to the truck, grabbed the plastic replacement parts, and fixed the pipe with ease in a matter of minutes. At no time did he provide an estimate, for services or parts, nor did I request one, to be fair. Upon completion, I was presented with an invoice for $141.50 which was for, $6.50 for the parts, and $135 for labor. When I questioned him on the charge, he stated that $135 was the minimum charge, and he was sorry that nobody told me that before he started. I paid him for his services, and then immediately called the company, to express my dismay at what I was being charged. Marty ( the scheduler and manager), explained the minimum charge $135, and admitted not giving me the information before Brian, came over. I have used several plumbers over the years, and the most I have ever paid for a minimum charge was $85. Please note, that Brian, the plumber was, 50 yards from my house when I called, and he was only in my home, for under 20 minutes, and at no time gave me an estimate for services. When I called in, and spoke with Marty, and mentioned my discontent, she was non sympathetic, and had an attitude, of not caring for the customer. At no time did she mention the coupon offered on Angies list, as a way to offset the high charge, nor did she offer some sort of reduced fee, for thier error, in not providing an estimate, before doing the job. $135 per hour is more than my doctor earns, It is an outrageous fee, almost unthinkable in today's world. I would have never thought in a million years that $135, would have been the minimum. To recap, no estimate given, and admittance of wrong doing, and no sympathy for the customer. I will not be calling Jim Dickerson Plumbing in the future. If I had known that I was going to be charged for the full hour ( $135), I would have had Brian, change for, $6.50 in parts all the other traps in my house, that might be rusted out as well. At no time did Brian offer to fix anything else, with the remainder of the hour, that was being billed at $135. Not the way to do business, in my opinion. So the moral of the story, get an estimate, before hand, and expect to be billed at $135/ hour

Response from Jim Dickerson Co Plumbing Electrical HVAC
The member did call our office about scheduling a service call after seeing our truck at his neighbors home. Marty put him on hold to ask the dispatcher how much longer it would be before we could go to his home. When she got back he had hung up and she did not have a phone number to call him back. Our plumber called our office about 20 minutes later and asked if he could go to his home. The member is correct about us not giving him an estimate. This is because of how this call was taken. He walked across the street and spoke with the plumber and did not call the office back. We do have a minimum charge to perform service work. We would have been glad to check or replace other traps if he would have asked. He did call back and speak with Marty after our plumber had left. She tried to explain to him that it would not be fair to his neighbor and our customer of 5 years to charge him less than she paid. It cost us just as much to service his home as anyone else's. He never once told us he was an Angie's List customer. Why did he not tell our plumber when he was paying the bill? I will send a refund check of $15.00 to him. We are sorry he feels he was over charged. This was not our intention.
