Get matched with top sink installation pros in Newton, NH

"Super Service Today didn’t respond in a timely manner, over-quoted us by a thousand dollars, mis-diagnosed our problem in a way that could have proven catastrophic (if we hadn’t gotten a second opinion), and then tried to withhold the return of our deposit to try to get us to sign an “agreement” that we wouldn’t post a bad review. The order of events: 1. Response in a timely manner: Our toilet and two sinks overflowed, with water cascading down from that bathroom to the basement below. We went with Super Service Today because they were the first phone call to an emergency plumber to get through, and had reasonably good reviews online. The overflow stopped on its own, and the company said it wasn’t that much of an emergency, so they’d stop by between 8 and 10 the next morning. At 10am, I called them, as no one had shown up. They apologized and said someone would definitely be there by noon. At noon, I called them again, and told them we were going with another plumbing company. They said they’d sub-contract someone else, in order to keep control of the situation. The company they sent found the blockage, snaked the pipe, and hit a blockage in the sewer leading to the street; they couldn’t investigate further, because they were only sub-contracted. 2. Over-quote and mis-diagnosis: Super Service Today sent one of their plumbers to take a video of the sewer line. This person hit the same blockage and diagnosed the problem as tree roots, then laid out escalating packages to fix it. The lowest level (and what this plumber recommended wholeheartedly) was hydro-jet, a high-powered water burst that can clear tree roots; this was quoted at $1600. The next level was replacement of that segment ($5000 or so) or replacement of the whole sewer ($25000 or so). He said the problem as urgent, and urged us to pick the jet. I hesitantly agreed and paid the deposit. Later that day, I got uncertain and curious and looked up what other companies charged for hydro-jet, and found it was between $300 and $500. At this point, we cancelled our hydro-jet service with Super Service Today and searched for another company. The company we chose took a new video of the line and showed us the truth: there was a mis-join in the line, rather than tree roots, so the two segments were partially offset from each other. They told us that if we’d chosen the (overpriced) hydro-jet, we’d have likely created an enormous sinkhole and done catastrophic damage to our sewer system. We went with them for the repair of that sewer segment, which went smoothly. 3. Withholding our deposit and the agreement: We wanted to conclude business with Super Service Today and get our deposit back. Super Service Today sent us a legal document to sign in order to get our deposit; it stated that we would be prohibited from posting a negative review. I consulted a lawyer friend who confirmed that we needed no “agreement” to get our deposit back, and that this was fraudulent. They tried to force the issue one more time and only relented when we said we’d submitted a challenge claim to our credit card company for the charge. Then, they were very apologetic on the phone as they returned our deposit, as well as an extra $100 refund for our trouble."

"Patrick was great. He pulled a Rat from my kitchen line so great service!"

"AACT was fantastic! Tommy, and his crew, Thaad and Josh, did a great job upgrading our 70's era bathroom into a modern bathroom with a sleek and clean appearance. They completed the job on time and each day cleaned up keeping disruption to a minimum. Further, they helped with a small plumbing project that is helping to keep our front gardens in bloom! We highly recommend AACT."

"I hired Merrimack Valley Plumbing to install a boiler in my home, and my experience was overwhelmingly disappointing. While the boiler functions, the installation process and quality of work raised numerous red flags. I want to share my experience to help others make an informed decision when considering this company. Installation Issues Code Violations: The exhaust is less than 3 feet from the gas meter, and the holes drilled in the joists for intake and exhaust are less than 2 inches from the bottom, both of which do not meet code requirements. Improper Venting: Both the exhaust and intake vents are installed too close to the ground (not meeting the 12-inch clearance required for expected snowfall) and are too close to each other (less than the 12-inch separation required). Unsealed Penetration: The hole drilled in the siding was left unsealed, creating a potential entry point for rodents. Condensate Drain Issues: The installed condensate pump is leaking and wasn’t tested. Additionally, rather than a permanent drain installation, they daisy-chained it into a pump for a portable air conditioner. Wiring Errors: The zones for the primary bedroom and second floor were wired backward, causing overheating in both areas. Missing Outdoor Sensor: The outdoor temperature sensor, critical for proper operation, was not installed. No CO Alarm: A carbon monoxide alarm was not installed, which is essential for safety. Unprofessional Workmanship: Trash, including a metal duct pipe, was left in the crawl space near live electrical wires. Process Concerns Permit Delays: The company failed to file permits before starting work. I only discovered this after contacting the town permitting office myself. Mismanagement and Delays: The project stretched far beyond the promised timeline, with repeated excuses about missing parts and limited crew availability, despite prior assurances that the job would be completed in two days. Broken Promises: They claimed a project manager would take measurements in advance to ensure a smooth installation, but no one came. Additionally, they rescheduled initially, promising a larger crew, only to send a single plumber on the first day. Misinformation and Deception Throughout the project, I encountered multiple instances where Merrimack Valley Plumbing provided misleading or false information: - They lied about the dates permits were filed. - They claimed delivery issues caused delays, though they should have anticipated these based on the advance photos provided. - They repeatedly shifted blame rather than taking accountability for the delays and issues. Overall Experience While the boiler itself works, the installation was riddled with code violations, safety oversights, and poor workmanship. Additionally, the company’s lack of transparency and repeated dishonesty made an already frustrating situation worse. I would not recommend Merrimack Valley Plumbing to others. Their lack of professionalism, disregard for safety codes, and failure to take responsibility for their mistakes created an unnecessarily stressful and costly experience."

"I hired Daniel to replace a door and replace weatherstripping around two other doors. He also painted my back door. The weatherstripping soon failed and came off the doors, and the paint job was poorly executed. This spring, I was preparing to move and discovered that he had dumped all his construction debris, including the old door, behind my garage and onto my neighbor's property. I also discovered he had thrown scrap wood in my bushes next to the house. He also had issues with promptness."

"John was excellent and I highly recommend him. He rebuilt our breezeway and installed a beautiful wood ceiling in our family room. In particular, John: - was immediately responsive to our request for a quote; -provided the quote when he said he would; - followed up and answered questions we had; - provided an additional quote based on changes we made; - started the project when he said he would; - showed up every day; - minimized any inconvenience to us while working; - worked neatly and cleaned up every day; - completed the project on time and on budget! Working with John was a very pleasant experience. He is friendly, courteous, professional and an excellent communicator. His mantra is to make the customer happy. He checked with us at each stage of the project to be sure we were pleased. He is very detailed oriented and his work product is top notch. We would, and plan to, use John for future projects."

"Worked quickly and did a great job!"
