We serviced a different address for [Member Name Removed] on 1/5/2017 and have not heard back from her. If there was a problem with the service this is the 1st we have heard about it. And our invoice amount, date and address is different than that mentioned. We think she may have called someone else. We do offer warranties and free check ups for previous work performed.12/09/2016

Great. Dealt with Matt in the office over the phone. He sent John to provide a free quotation. Once we made our decision, I ironed out the details with Matt on the model to be used, the requirement for a drain pan and drain to the exterior and removal of the old heater. John and Mike did the installation in a couple of hours. I paid Matt over the phone with a credit card. Mike and John did a nice job and left the basement free of all debris.

They reached out shortly after purchase to schedule. They did not reach me via phone, so they emailed. I called to set up the appt. We agreed on a time just 1 day away. When I got home 5 miniutes prior to the scheduled appt, they were there waiting on me and were already working. They were quick and polite and did quality work.

The plumber was unable to determine where the pipes were frozen. He advised us to put a space heater in the crawl space, which did not correct the problem. He returned to replace the gas control valve about an hour after his first visit, as we had a home warranty in place from purchasing the house a year earlier. This did not correct the original complaint, as there was no water flow. I later opened up a couple of holes in drywall to find the source of the problem, only to find un-insulated pipe runs in an attic area.

Service Provider Response
We have had some extreme cold spells this past winter. Colder than usual. We could not pin point the frozen pipes at the time of service. Space heaters should never be used in crawl spaces or attics. Non insulated pipes in the attic that have never froze before now. Lucky they didn't burst and flood the home. We did not charge for trying to find the froze pipes. Notice no complaint on the water heater issue he was having. However the next day the temperature began to rise and the pipes thawed.12/24/2013

We have used Bare Tech before for a leaking dishwasher. At that time they were very responsive and fixed the problem quickly. Calvin was extremely courteous and conscientious (he gave me his phone number to call him if I had any questions while looking for a new dishwasher, which I did probably 3 times!) And that is why we called them back to do the sink installation. This time there were a few problems, some of which were not Bare Tech's fault - The supplier provided the wrong faucet so when they came to install the sink etc. they couldn't complete the job. They did however install the faucet that was provided so that all was functional until the correct hardware came in. They were quick to come back and reinstall the correct faucet when it came in and at that time corrected the somewhat off-center installation of the pedestal sink that had been done by one of their temporary hires. And that was the problem - this temporary hire ended up being a bit sloppy. Not only was the sink installed a bit off kilter, but the wood floor was scratched while he was sliding/crawling around in this very small room with what must have been something in his pocket. Bare Tech was most apologectic, but I said I would try to fix the scratch myself. When they came back to fix the problems they told us that the temporary hire had been let go. Calvin and Mike are great plumbers and provide great, friendly service. If you use BareTech, ask Chris (the owner) for one of these two and I'm sure you will be happy.

Removed old pedestal sink and installed new sink, faucets, toilet hardware. The above price included the cost of the installation as well as all supplies.

Bare tech was called by my home warranty company. I did not choose them. The problem they diagnosed was not covered by my warranty and the quote I received from them to do the work was incredibly over-priced. I did not use them to complete the project. And, outside of my home warranty, i would not contact them in future.

we were required to use Bare Tech due to our home warranty. The person in the office did not call in response to the warranty request that I placed on a Sunday. When I called mid day on Monday, she said that the request was still sitting on her fax machine. She scheduled the repair for Wednesday after lunch, but said she would call me on Wednesday to confirm the exact time. Around 2pm, I called and she didn't remember saying she would call me and said that her tech was still with another client and should be there within about an hour. Around 3:30pm,I called again and was told the tech was still busy but would be there soon. At 4:45pm, I called again and was told that he was on his way. The tech arrived right after 5pm.

We do try to accomodate all of our customers. We schedule 2 hour windows for appointments. We don't use fax machines so I'm not sure what this customer is referring to. When we called Monday to set the appointment the customer requested a last call of the day on Wednesday. We did make the repairs to the customers satisfaction and he signed and paid for the services. Not sure of his complaint as he was happy and thankful at the time of our departure.05/19/2013

Called this plumber because he lives in our neighborhood, and I felt that he would treat his neighbors fairly. I was wrong. I needed him to clean out some drains from the downspouts to the French Drain below, and he sent someone over to give us an estimate. Estimated @$200 for 6 or so drains. The agreement that we reached was $200, and they were to call me before they did more work, *IF* it was going to be more. THey did not call. I got the bill a month later for $420. Called them to remind them of our agreement, and they denied it, would not honor it. I paid the $420, but I will never use them again, regardless of that fact that he's a neighbor. BTW, he as burned other people in the neighborhood too, I've learned since then.

They came out within a couple of hours after my call. They accurately diagnosed the problem and immediately proceeded to make the repairs. Two of them worked quickly and efficiently. They were very professional and curtious. They took less time than I thought. I thought the cost of the work was very reasonably given the complexity of the repairs. I would hire them again.
Description of Work
Bare Tech Plumbing repaired a leaking pipe that began in the crawl space and continued into the house. They had to remove part of two walls to get to the leak and repair the pipe. They put the walls back and cleaned up the mess completely.

They sent Michael out and he asked me what the problem was. He ran the hot water until it ran out in less than five minutes, and then told me there was nothing wrong with it. I asked him if he would at least look at the hot water tank. He said he did not need to. (I can only assume that because it was still under warranty, they did not have any interest in servicing it.) He became argumentative and almost irate because I would not believe that a 40 gallon tank should only last five minutes. (This is not my first hot water tank – the hot water should last a little more than 5 minutes.) Knowing we would not come to an agreement, I politely asked him to leave my house. He would not leave after three requests (he kept telling me he didn’t expect me to understand as if it was because I am a woman). I had to threaten to call the police if he did not leave. It was extremely scary. He finally left. I called and spoke with the owner, and got the owner’s wife, who said she had heard of problems with Michael, and asked if she could send someone else. I agreed (which I now regret) and Jeff came the next day. Jeff’s first comments were “Michael told me to”. He was just as difficult and condescending. I called back and got someone name Chris, who claimed to be the VP (which I now know to be a lie). This company needs to get their employees under control.
Description of Work
I called Bare Tech Plumbing because my 40 gallon hot water tank that they had installed 10 months earlier (and was still under warranty) was running cold after 4-5 minutes. (I just purchased the house and have not worked with them before.)

My gas water heater was leaking and I needed someone fast. I found Bare Tech Plumbing on Angie's List when I did a search under "water heaters." They weren't able to send someone out until later in the day, so I had to turn the main water off in the house until they arrived. When the technician arrived (not the owner, Chris Bear) he diagnosed the problem as a leaking liner and said the heater had to be replaced. The estimate for replacement and installation of approx. $1,700 also included a city inspection, required where I live for gas water heaters. I thought this was high, but after doing some research, it seems to be in the range for this type of heater. It was on the high side of the range, though. The water heater had to be ordered and wouldn't arrive until the following day. It was actually 2 days later when the technician came back to install the water heater, so no hot water for 3 days now. He was very courteous while here installing the heater. It took about 4-1/2 hours to do the job and I could tell he was rushing a bit at the end to get it done. He wasn't able to stay to complete the paperwork because he had to pick up his son from school. I was told the city inspector would contact me to set up a time to come by and look at the heater. No one called. I called Bare Tech Plumbing and let them know that I hadn't paid yet and the heater had not been inspected. They sent a different person by to collect my check and said the someone would call later that day. I received a message later that said the city inspector would come by the following day and would call me when they were on their way. I never received a call the next day. I had a very busy schedule, so I let it go and didn't worry about the inspection until I started noticing a gas smell. It even made me feel ill. It was coming from the heater. I called the plumber again and they finally had the inspector come by. The city inspector noticed the gas smell as well and he would not pass the heater. He contacted Bare Tech and they sent someone out with an hour who found and repaired the gas leak from the heater. The inspector then passed the heater. I haven't had any issues with the water heater since then, but it was a long, drawn out ordeal that I do not want to repeat.

This water heater was an apollo type w/h that operates the heating system as well as the water heating. It's the most expensive heater on the market. This installation required several code requirements to pass an inspection that unfortunately run the install price up as well. The gas leak was found at the time of inspection and no re inspection was needed. This leak was on the main line at the heater not on the work performed and we did not charge for this repair. We have no control over the cities inspection schedule. The only thing we can do is give the inspector the home owners phone # for them to call when they are on the way. In most cases we do not collect for service until the work is 100% complete. We do try to expedite every call with the quickness and apologize for those jobs that take longer.08/16/2010

The plumber came to my house three and a half hours late and said that the problem was not in the pipes, rather the leak was from the hose on the washing machine. He then stated that he didn't have a hose clamp and that I owed him $75. He couldn't have been there for more that 15min and he didn't even fix the problem. This is completely unreasonable and is no way to treat a customer.

After a returning from Europe for 10 days, I came home to a soaked 1st floor carpet and determined it was a leaky water heater (original unit from house, ~ 12 years old). I called them the next morning (after seeing high reviews on Angie's List) and the owner of the company came by in less than 2 hours himself since his crew was booked. He inspected everything, went over the estimate and what upgrades I needed to meet code and said he would have a serviceman come by this afternoon to take away the old tank and install a new one. He was very friendly and compassionate for my situation. In less than 2 hours, a TEAM of servicemen arrived and my new water heater with all the requried "bells and whistles" were installed and by 2:30 PM....having a new water heater meant I could actually take a hot shower after traveling back from Europe finally! One of the serviceman called me 2 hours later to obtain my availability for the inspector in 3 days. In addition to the "official" work they had to do, one of the serviceman (after getting stung) detected and killed a hornet's nest by my front door and was still as cheery and friendly as ever to do that for me. As a single mom, I appreciate extra help for those types of things. The other serviceman overheard me talk about some landscaping I needed to do and gave me a referral for someone that could help me out. I was extremely grateful for this company and will call them again in the next few weeks to do some other minor plumbing work in my master bathroom. The only MINOR negative thing was that the flip side of having the owner come out and estimate my level of work was that he hadn't done an install in quite some time so his written estimate was $65 lower than the final bill - but in the grand scheme of things, it's a wash with the great level of service I received.
