Great experience. Debbie did an excellent job in bidding the project and in providing the details of the bid to me for comparison. I checked their pricing for parts with the manufacturer and for installation with Lowe's, and in both cases found it to be competitive and honest. For future reference, customers should be careful when comparing them to Lowe's as Dickerson quotes a "turn key" price, including all extras and add-ons, while the initial quote from Lowe's did not include permits, additional fittings required by code changes, haul away charges, etc. In addition to quality pricing, this company provides quality service. The installation team was on the job at exactly the time promised, they were neat and thorough in all respects, and they left the home in perfect shape. In fact, it was difficult to tell that anyone had been there as they vacuumed up after themselves, etc. All in all, a good experience. Jim Dickerson plumbing will be my plumber from now on!
Description of Work: The company installed two new hot water heaters, a recycle pump for the hot water line, and new valve in the shower to stop it from dripping. On a prior visit, they had repaired two toilets that wouldn't flush correctly.

The estimates were given over the phone, and the first job was quoted as $850. We agreed to move forward with the first job, and scheduled a time for the plumber to come out. The plumber's work was adequate, but he was here only 2 hours. He showed my husband how to turn on the gas fireplace (an older model; nothing was wrong), repaired the pipe in the crawlspace, capped the existing plumbing, and said "it looks like your shower pan is leaking." My husband asked for the amount due, and the plumber said, "Well, it says $850 on my papers" so he gave him the check. When I later realized that nothing was done with the shower pan, and a two hour visit should not have cost more than $800, my husband called back to discuss the matter. Jim Dickerson agreed to have another plumber come out and look at the shower pan again to find the source of the leak. That plumber did a test and found the area that was leaking, and said the only way to fix that kind of leak was to tear out the entire shower and replace it. He was here approximately 30 minutes. When my husband called Jim Dickerson again to request an accounting of the time and costs associated with the work performed, Jim replied "Well, this was a "bid job" not an estimate." What? We have no idea what a "bid job" is, and had specifically requested an "estimate" for the work, with the understanding that we would pay an hourly rate + materials, which could have ended up higher or lower than the original estimate. We used Jim Dickerson Plumbing in the past at another home, and were pleased with the work performed and the amount charged for the work. However, after this experience, we will never be using Jim Dickerson Plumbing again as we will not work with a company we can't trust.
Description of Work: We asked Jim Dickerson Plumbing to come out to give us an estimate on two separate jobs. The first included capping the plumbing on an existing bath we are turning into a laundry room, locating and repair of a suspected leak in a shower pan, repair of a pipe that was leaking water into the crawl space (found on an inspection report) and inspection of two gas fireplaces the home inspectors were not able to turn on. The other job was new plumbing into a closet we want to turn into a half bath.

Called Thursday morning and the tech arrived that afternoon. Was unable to complete the work due to not having the spacer kit on the truck, nor a toilet. Came the following morning as planned. Finished the job efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. Although I mentioned Angie's List and the previous utilization of Dickerson previously I did not receive the advertised discount.
Description of Work: Toilet on ground floor (ceramic tile over concrete) was leaking at the base on every flush. Tech determined that the toilet bowl was slightly cracked and weeping. Also determined that the waste pipe flange was below the level of the tile floor. In addition, the tile was uneven causing the toilet to rock and come loose after time. They recommended 2 alternative courses of action. First, break up the tile and concrete floor surrounding the waste pipe, replace and raise the pipe and repair the floor, 2nd was to install a spacer kit to level the waste pipe flange with the existing floor. The spacer kit alternative was chosen due to cost considerations. No warranty was offered with this choice. Based on their further recommendation, we supplied the toilet of our choice and they installed the next day.

I called at 7:30, and they had sent out someone to give me an estimate since they couldn't find the model number I had provided. They were also unsure if it was a 1 or 2 person job since it was located in a crawlspace. When he came, he gave me a price and said it could be done by 1 person. The second person arrived with the new heater at 1:00; it took about 2 hours. The first person had helped me set up the hose to drain the tank, so that made it go more quickly. When he finished, he showed me how to adjust the thermostat, etc. Both folks were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I feel I could have done better on the price, but we were leaving the next day and I really didn't want to deal with that when we got back. I really appreciated the fact they could come the same day.

Replaced toiled "innards," which produced a leak in the toilet shut off valve (circa 1950s). Called Jim Dickerson Sunday evening & left message. They called us Monday morning, sent a repairman first thing, who promptly replaced the old shut off valve and pipe coming up from basement to toilet. Job done by mid-morning!

It got to the point that I had to speak with a manager. They just weren't very professional with how they handled things.
Description of Work: Our irrigation pump was leaking. After Jim Dickerson left, I could never get a hold of anyone to find out what exactly he'd done and what my money paid for. I had to call them, they wouldn't call me back.

HE CALLED TO SCHEDULE A TECHNICIAN TO FLUSH HIS WATER HEATER, CHECK KITCHEN SPRAY HOSE AND TO SEE ABOUT INSTALLING A SHUT-OFF VALVE AT THE SHOWER. WE WERE SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE ON 2/18/08, BETWEEN 8-9 AM. HE DID HAVE A FLAT TIRE ON THE WAY, BUT WAS ABLE TO ARRIVE AT 9:09. OUR TRUCKS ARE GPS TRACKED, SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TIME OUR TECHS ARRIVE AND WHAT TIME THEY LEAVE EACH JOB. HE WAS CALLED AND INFORMED THAT WE WOULD BE A LITTLE LATE DUE TO HAVING A FLAT TIRE. OUR TECHNICIAN DRAINED AND FLUSHED HEATER AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING ANODE ROD. HE CHECKED THE KITCHEN SPRAYER (THE WEIGHT IS MISSING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED). HE LOOKED AT INSTALLING A SHUT-OFF VALVE FOR THE SHOWER. MEMBER SAID HE WOULD LET US KNOW IF HE WANTED REPAIRS MADE. AS OF TODAY, HE HAS NOT CALLED TO SCHEDULE. I AM SORRY WE WERE LATE ARRIVING AT HIS HOME. WE STRIVE TO BE ON TIME AND DO SO MOST OF THE TIME. WE ALWAYS CALL IF WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE. HE CAN CALL AND SPEAK WITH JIM DICKERSON ABOUT HIS CONCERNS AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS.

The plumber was right on time and quickly disassembled our shower head. He thoroughly cleaned the various parts and determined that the issue was our shower head and it needed to be replaced. He carefully explained what pieces we need to purchase, and how to install. He was absolutely professional and speedy.

Great experience. When I called for service, the customer service rep asked me for info regarding the water heater model and serial number (none of the other companies had requested this info). Additionally, she told me that the parts were under warranty and when I told her that I had obtained the number from Angie's List, she told me about the coupon in the magazine. The technician was prompt and did the work quickly. It is great to have hot water again!

These guys were fabulous. I called for a non-emergency problem. I told them no rush, sometime this week is fine. Well, within 30 minutes, I got a call from the driver and he was at my door within another 30 minutes. He fixed my drain-clearing problem, and I also had him install a water cut off valve in my house. (My house is 60 years old and the existing one was rusted "on".) I thought the billing was very fair. I'll definitely use them again.

Response was very fast. Called on Sunday night and left message. They called at 7:15AM on Monday and were at the house at 8:00AM! Used power auger to clear hair in the line. Plumber was very nice and knowledgeable. He was in/out in under 30 minutes. Good job, just wish they didn't charge the $10, "gas" fee. Should be built into the hourly fee as they were not here 30 minutes and their minimum is an hour labor. I am very pleased with the job they performed and would hire them again.

The leaky faucet was fairly involved. In fact, the guy had to make 2 trips and had to replace everything. That was worth the $500 I paid. The Shower head was an easy fix and only took a few minutes. I was kind of shocked when he told me the bill was $125, even though I provided the parts.
