Get matched with top sink installation pros in Ranlo, NC

"Since I only needed a very small piece for my project, I was referred directly to the fabrication shop for a remnant. Donnie was extremely helpful in showing me what they had and in working out a very reasonable price. On the day they were cutting my granite, he sent me pictures asking my opinion and approval on what part of the slab I was most interested in for my piece, and he put me on the calendar on the day I requested for installation. The day prior to installation, we had a snafu with the cabinet makers, and Donnie did everything in his power to remedy the situation. The installers showed up on time and called in advance to let me know they were on their way, and they put in extra time and effort on site to work around the cabinet issues we had discovered the day before. This is the second time we have used Queen City Kitchens (Imported Stone when we used them to resurface our kitchen counters 3 years ago). They are a top notch operation, and a special shout out to Donnie and his installers for their promptness and their ability to help fix a less than ideal situation. We will definitely use them again!"

"The plumber replaced the valves under the kitchen sink with better metal valves, and that solved the problem! The water pressure is now great and fixed the water temperature problem. I'm completely happy with that repair. While deciding what to do about the kitchen sink valves, he offered me a package deal to replace the valves under all the sinks in my house. That sounded like a good idea, since the builder had used the same cheapo valves for all the sinks; so I authorized the replacement of all the sink valves in the house. All went well, except for one of the sinks in the master bathroom. That one worked great before the change, but wouldn't work after the valve replacement. The plumber decided it was the cartridge in the faucet, and even ordered a new one free of charge (under warranty) from the manufacturer. When the new cartridge arrived, I installed it in the faucet, but nothing changed...the water still would not flow. The plumber came back and was able to get the flow going again, after clearing whatever was stuck in the pipe. The sink works again; but I had to pay $125 for him to come back out to fix something that was fine until he installed the new valves. Lesson learned: only fix what's broken! I also asked during the first trip if he could re-caulk the master bathroom shower. This would include removing the old caulk, cleaning out the mold and mildew under the shower door frame, and then re-caulking. He said he could, and I thought the price was fair. Unfortunately the cleaning under the shower door frame was not done well, and dark spots started to appear through the new caulking within a week or two. I ended up removing all the caulking again, thoroughly cleaning, and re-applying new caulking again myself. Of course I was dissatisfied with this part of the job. When I called to ask for my money back, they promptly agreed to refund my money for the caulking work; so I give them credit for that."

"I knew the septic tank probably needed to be pumped out but didn't know exactly where it was.  After checking Angie's List I chose 1St Choice Septic  based on their great reviews and I'm so glad I did.  After speaking with Erin (who is extremely knowledgeable and can answer all your questions)  I set up an appt. for them to come out.  They came promptly and began to determine where my septic tank was.  This was not easy since the original owner had put it 4 feet underground!  This was quite unusual, as I found out!  That meant an additional expense of 300.00 to get a bobcat out to excavate which was completely logical to me.  Hand digging was not a reasonable option but 1ST Choice kept the cost to a minimum for me .  Anyway, after  all the digging, they discovered my main line was cracked (tree roots) and needed to be replaced and also the tee trap.  Through all this process Erin kept me informed while I was at work and I really appreciated this.  The customer service they give is excellent.  They gave me  individual prices for replacing the main line to the house,  a new tee trap, and installation of risers to prevent the need  and expense of digging down four feet the next time the tank needs pumping.  I could have all three things done  and paid for at separate times or  have all three things done at one time for less cost, saving me  about 800.00.  Of course I had everything done together and the cost was 1150.00.  Again, I received excellent customer service and will always use and refer them in the future!  They are the experts!

"They did a couple of things. One was moving a bathtub drain. I was not all that pleased with it. The other thing was a couple of sinks. I guess I had installed the main part of the sink, and they were to go up underneath there and put in the U trap and all that stuff. I was kind of not all that pleased either. Now, on the second part, some of that stuff that had not been found out about until later. What I had noticed when he was putting in the stuff underneath, he had to take loose the p trap, and it goes into the wall. Well, he had used a tool to cut out part of the wall where it goes back in there, so he can get his pipe wrench to go around the nut and what that did was it left a wider hole. I didn't notice that until just a few months ago, really. A neighbor was downstairs which is where the half bath is. I had some folks there. They had the crawl space open, and I had the little cabinet door open underneath there and I saw the light. I said, where is that light coming from? Like I said, he put the tool and widened the hole and failed to cover it back up with something. With the original tool of the p trap devices that was on there, there's a silver cover over the hole that covers. He wanted to use his stuff. He widened the hole a little bit and he didn't cover it back up, he left a hole there. Therefore insects and whatever can get through it. I didn't go behind there and check. I had purchased a big deal; part of it was that. Then, I paid an additional sum also, which I thought was too high, but I let it go. I actually started to complain about it later because I was pretty upset about the choices. I only had one or two plumbers, but nobody's ever had a problem cleaning a slow drain. he claimed he was afraid to use a larger tool because it may do some damage. Nobody else said anything close to that. I said, I called a couple of plumbers before and it was like a two-second job, they just take that tool put a little pressure down there and it was done. So, he's trying to do it basically like I would do it by taking a plunger, taking the contraptions off and plunging it. Nobody has ever tried that before. After he had left, I did some work on it myself and I got it working better than he had. Overall, I wouldn't give him no more than a "C". On responsiveness, I mean when I called them; they came within a reasonable time. I would kind of be hesitant to use them again."

"We didnt actual use Imperial Stone for a granite installation, but we did use them for a second opinion we were having regarding the difference of opinion we were having with our fabricator on the recommended maximum unsupported overhang for an installation off granite on an island. The person I spoke with was very pleasant, was knowledgable, and displayed common sense. I would feel comfortable recommending them."

"This company is very responsive and efficient. Tim came by within a couple days of first call to design the project and give the quote and Russ came back a month later and installed the units (most of the custom work was done at his shop). Tim provided very good ideas and suggestions at our initial meeting. Quote came with detailed sketches which made it easy to visualize final project. We are very pleased with the project and would definitely recommend Russ and Tim's Home Repairs."

"You can find a number of plumbing companies on line if you have trouble. Over the years, I have used various companies for a problem. Plunger of Thrones is now a contact in my phone. If I have a problem, I know I can count on this company to take care of it promptly and for a very reasonable price. I'm sure you will agree when you give them a try !"

"James was responsive, courteous, and professional AND helped us diagnose - free of charge on a follow-up call - an ammonia smell related to our sealed crawlspace completely unrelated to the plumbing.  He even referred us to a new termite / pest / company (whom we have chosen to take over service following our purchase of the home).  He also checked our entire crawlspace for leaks or other issues that might have been missed by our inspector and provided a wealth of information on AAV valves, pressure regulators and anything else I could throw at him.  Perhaps the best part - James (a very experienced plumber) is the owner AND... does the work HIMSELF with a colleague in tow.  Touch 2 O faucets (this is our third in 3 homes in 3 years) can be a bit finicky and this install was completed without a hitch.  If you want the same experienced professional that QUOTES the job to also be the one to COMPLETE it, pick Gentile Plumbing!

My water heater went out nearly two weeks ago the night before we took a week long trip.  Since we had another place to take showers, we got the company  we use for other ac/heating service to shut down the water heater and also got a proposal from them which was around $2200 for a water heater of the exact make (State) as the one which went bad. 

After reading some water heater reviews, we decided we'd prefer a Rheem, so didn't use the first service provider. 

We got a quote from another plumbing co which was roughly the same (only about $150 more) as the Water Heater Experts quote, but saw in Angie's List that they only had a "B" rating. 

Seeing that Water Heater Experts had an "A" rating and specialized in water heaters, I called them and discussed our needs with them to see what they had to say. 

Unlike the other plumbing company, they did not try to "upsell" me in any way.  In fact, they did more of a "downsell" and probably lost out on what would have been a few quick "sucker" bucks (not really, I'm not that gullible). 

Anyway, from my discussions with both the boss and the installer, I decided to just get the basics done and see how well this higher rated Rheem water heater performs.  Their labor guarantee made that a comfortable decision.

Also, I learned from them that a few simple things like regularly draining the water heater once a year or so could prolong the life of the water heater (and that the problem isn't necessarily a bad water supply, as another plumbing co tried to sell).

My old "State" brand heater started leaking after 8 years use.  Oddly enough, though, Water Heater Experts told me that my old water heater was actually BUILT much longer ago  and showed me how to determine this based on model/serial numbers.

Since I have rental property with the identical brand (only 40 gal instead of 50), I checked and found that it is also MUCH OLDER than I had thought. 

I'm planning to drain that tank soon to see what kind of goo comes out.

Great service, good advice, good prices, and a better warranty on labor than the other guys I checked. 

And if I ever need a replacement (maybe for the rental), I'm DEFINITELY calling the Water Heater Experts AGAIN.

"I wholeheartedly recommend AB Spectrum for your projects at home requiring a Handyman. We recently purchased our home and had a number of items from the inspection report and other projects we needed done. These included installing lattice work on our deck to make it baby-proof, installing baby gates, running Cat-6 ethernet cable, mounting a TV, securing and caulking toilets, among a number of other small repairs, etc. Andrei is a consummate professional. He is detail oriented and thorough. When giving an estimate he took his time to assess the feasibility of each project and to plan out the process. He is timely and delivers as promised. He takes pride in his work and it shows. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result. After he finished our project, I immediately recommended him to my parents who had some damaged shoe molding in need of repair and shelving installed in the garage. I have his number saved and pass it along to any friend or colleague in need of a Handyman. I recommend AB Spectrum enthusiastically and without reservation."
