Response from Pettigrew Plumbing and HVAC
We are truly sorry that you felt our price was too high. We do stand behind our pricing and it is competitive with other reputable plumbing contractors in this area. Unfortunately, the reality of the costs of plumbing, heating and HVAC repairs and services are that they are not insignificant and we recognize that this is unanticipated by some people.

John answered the phone the first time I called and got back to me the next day with a time to fix the problem. He was prompt, professional and was able to finish one job of the two repairs with no new parts. I appreciated his honesty and his resolving the problem. Most of all I appreciate that he was willing to do a small job quickly.

Our kitchen faucet broke and John Pettigrew responded very quickly to replace it. He was very efficient and pleasant to work with. In the past he replaced everything in both of our bathrooms and we have been very happy with the results. He also installed our hot water tank many years ago and we have had no problems with any of the work he has done.

I thought the service was fantastic and was confident I had found a plumber ,unfortunately they don't return calls. I don't have time to call over and over until they finally respond and lost faith that they would return a call in a crisis situation. I will find someone else for future work

Response from Pettigrew Plumbing and HVAC
We did install a dishwasher and unclogged a drain for (Member name removed). She called us again and left a message to unclog a tub drain. We called back and left a message for her regarding a time to get in to do the service work. We never heard back from her. With hundreds of service calls coming in to me, and being in the field doing work everyday, I can sometimes only call back once, if I don't hear back from the client, I have to assume that they are all set. It sounds like this was a possible missed call. I know this happens periodically. We take every relationship seriously and do our best to respond to everyone. We don't have a secretary answering phone calls. I answer the calls and more than likely do the work. Hopefully, the client will understand and we can possibly do work for her in the future. With the A rating she gave us, I know that she is happy with our work.

This was a very frustrating experience. I contacted company for estimate on bathrrom renovation and the repair of two leaks in my bathroom. Owner was quick to come out for estimate, but never returned phonecalls or provided estimate afterwards. I had to call him after six weeks of no contact. I was assured that I would hear from him shortly, but that I had been forgotten. Again, never had another returned phonecall. Additionally, I was told that the estimate was never completed because I needed a special bathtub that Pettigrew could not locate anywhere. I made a couple of phonecalls to bathroom suppliers and found multiple units.

My mother had her very old water heater replaced last summer and we found Mr. Pettigrew on Angie's List. I live out of town but I spoke to him on the phone and arranged a date for an estimate. My mother said he arrived on time, gave a fair estimate and arranged a date to return to do the work. On the appointed day, he arrived on time, did the work, cleaned up, and took the old water heater away. She was very pleased that it was done efficiently and quickly.

I contacted John Pettigrew regarding a water softening system. He immediately returned my call and set up an appointment (free of charge) for someone to come out to test my water and advise me as to what type of system would best correct my problem. I purchased the equipment and set up an appointment with John for installation. Due to my travel schedule and weather, we needed to reschedule several times. John was always available to answer my calls. When the blizzard hit in early February, once again we needed to reschedule. John contacted me in a timely fashion and promised me that he would fit me into the schedule in order to get the system installed as soon as possible. John came to my house the first day my driveway was accessible and installed the system. He connected the filter(s) to the water tank and installed the drainage tube. The work is neat and the system is set up in a logical configuration that minimizes the amount of floor space it takes up. He explained how the system worked and flushed all the lines. He provided me with lots of information and told me to contact him if I had any questions. I would highly recommend John for any plumbing work you may need.
Description of Work: I contacted Pettigrew plumbing to discuss issues I have been having with my well water. John set up an appointment for me with one of his suppliers and they came out to test my water and offer me options for addressing my problem. I purchased the equipment necessary and it was delivered to my home within a week at no cost to me. John then came and installed the water filter system. He connected the purifier and a pre-filter to my water tank and installed a small drain tube to flush the system, all which is handled by programming the filter itself. The work was very neat and there are only the elbows and joints required to attach the system to the water system. The entire filtering system is set up to minimize the foot print of the equipment. The work was neat and efficient. John cleaned the area and removed any debris, leaving that area of the basement cleaner than when he went in!

Overall we felt the value for the money was not there as we paid for his time while on the phone (on the job) as well as time to come back and correct mistakes he made the first time around.
Description of Work: John worked with us on several projects. His work is satisfactory most of the time, and poor some of the time. He gets poor marks for professionalism as he is often on his cell phone while on our dime and our time. We will not use him again.

Response from Pettigrew Plumbing and HVAC
All of my work done for Member was on a time and material basis. Answering the phone is part of communication in a service orientated business which often involves emergencies. I made (and will continue to make) deductions for time on the phone which Member unfortunately does not remember. I was extremely conscientious of time on her jobs and to save her money, let her husband Josh complete some of the plumbing under my permit, something most plumbing contractors would not allow. I never charge for any mistakes that are my responsibility. Member may be bitter for other reasons. My last work for them was completed in June and this posting is in February? My customers are and will continue to be of utmost importance to me which my other Angies list clients can attest to. I am confused by this posting but wish Member well in her future endeavors..John Pettigrew, Owner, Pettigrew Plumbing and Heating.

Pulled me back off the cliff. He is stopping by later to a**** what needs to be done for a permeant fix. All this assistance on a Sunday, to someone he never met and without any promise of future work. Amazing
Description of Work: By trying to fix my shower valve I bent the pipe and caused a leak. Determined that there was no individual shut off without turning water off for the entire house. Joh Pettigrew was at a site but call me back and walked me thru a temporary fix so we could have water to the other bathroom.

Mr. Pettigrew arrived right on time and quickly determined the original installer had inserted a spacer in the connector for no apparent reason (the spacer was what foiled my attempts to reconnect). He removed the spacer and installed a new coupler (threads on the old one were a mess). He was done in 30 minutes - a professional, neat and effective job. And I thought the price was more than fair. I will call Mr. Pettigrew for all my plumbing needs in the future.
Description of Work: Discovered a small amount of water under the kitchen sink. Found that the connector from the sink drain to the drain pipe had come undone. After several failed attempts (and much frustration) to reattach the connector, I went to Angie's List to find a plumber. Mr. Pettigrew returned my call quickly and told me he could stop by early the next morning to look at the problem.

I found this company when I googled plumbers in my area. John called back right away, this was a friday. I told him of my troubles and that it had been like that for a month so I had no problem with him fitting me in when he could. He came on Tuesday or Weds of the next week. He was great!!! He got under my sink(very impressed he could twist like that) and ran the water and found out that......... the hose on my faucet sprayer was loose. He turned it a couple times and ..... DONE no more leak.Ok so I am not handy, what can I say.He was very kind and professional. I will call again for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!

After unsuccessfully trying to repair my leaking kitchen faucet by myself, I decided it was time to call in some help. John answered his phone on my first call (a rarity these days) and made time in his schedule to come to my house the next morning. He tried repairing my faucet, but after a little while realized it would be more of a hassle to repair than to replace. He had another job to go to and I had some free time so he advised me to go buy a faucet and give him a call once I had it. He came back shortly after I called and installed the new faucet. John is professional, responsive and super nice. His charge was beyond reasonable and I appreciated that he made time to attend to this small job so quickly and didn't try to charge me a markup on a new faucet. I will definitely call him again for any plumbing and heating services I need and will recommend him to anyone I know looking for these services. In fact, I'm so pleased with the experience that I've been telling friends and family who aren't even looking for a plumber that they should keep him in mind.

Haven't had a sink in the basement for 5 years....so inconvenient. Finally decided to make life easier. Couldn't turn off the water for kitchen sink....handle compromised. Also happy to have working plumbing in basement. Itemized bill presented at end of work Tuesday 7/10 within reasonable accommodation of projected cost. (He did a few extra things not in original estimate).Job well done, left work area neat and clean.
Description of Work: Ben (son) replaced kitchen and bathroom faucets while John worked on removing old cement 'slop' sink (in basement) and replaced sink, plumbing and installed wall hung white new 'slop' sink with new faucet. New plumbing to washer, etc. Also, put new turn off valves on kitchn sink, for washer plumbing and also put in new turn off for whole house water. Set up access to accommodate ice maker in an anticipated new fridge. Nice job by both John and Ben.
