They are pricey. Their quality is excellent. They are reliable. They came the same day.

They are a very large company in the New York area. They were prompt. They are always training, every time they come they bring an apprentice with them.

We have been doing business with this company for years, despite the very high price, because they were punctual.

In 2008 They replaced our water heater with an AO smith, Gas water heater. They brought the unit, and installed it.

We were charged $1500.00 and given a 10 year warranty. On May 25th 2015, (7 years later) there was a loud cracking sound in the unit and water started gushing from the bottom and flooding the basement. I called Buttermark . Since my contract with them stated that we had a 10 year warranty, I was told that I would have to only pay labor of $450.00

A representative who later identified himself as Paul an owner, came to my house. Before even looking at the unit, I showed him the paperwork that we were given in 2008. It clearly states the date, price, type of unit and a 10 YEAR WARRANTY.

He acknowledged they put in the unit, that was their paperwork but Buttermark would not be honoring the 10 year warranty.

Even though we had been given that warranty by Buttermark at the time of service, we were told "It was ridiculous and must have been written up wrong" and "There is no such thing as a 10 year warranty"

When we said this was their written service agreement, and it was dishonest and disreputable not to honor it, he told us don't be ignorant.

I told him we would see him in court, he scoffed at us and walked out.

He did a great job. However, he had quoted me a price of $145 plus parts to install the faucet. I failed to get a quote on the additional services I requested, and so he really did a job on me on the price. To be fair, his work was well done, or appears to be so far since the job is not even a week old.
While the work was good, the price seemed to be exceptionally high. That is the only reason I would not use this provider in the future. I am sure I can find other quality providers to do the same work at a much more reasonalbe price.

They did therir job; the main plumber was kurt, unfriendly, downright rude. The helper or plumber in training was too friendly did not really do much. They used my kitchen cleaning bleaches etc. without asking...very unimpressed. The next time Buttermark had to come ( a few days later), I requested not to have these two plumbwrs. I was told, "oh, I can't help you with that...the owner (Paul) would need to make the decision; he's not in". Receptionist just as rude as the SAME plumber who came... again. I knew that Buttermark was a more expensive plumber than some other area plumbers. At the price they charged; I expect some "people friendly" plumbers. Plus, the fact that I couldn't change the particular indivivdual plumber; I guess I'll go back to Capitol plumbing or look for a new plumber!

Went very well and have had no problems over 2 months after work was done. Realize that other plumbers want to replace section with cast iron (not needed) and charge up to a grand and another wanted to charge $50 just to show up to provide estimate that would be taken off bill IF you gave them job. Considering price and quality work, I will use nobody else in future.

I called the day before the service and spoke with a pleasant, polite person on the phone. I explained the problem that we were experiencing with the heating system. She told me that they were a bit backed up on work but, since I did not consider my problem to be an emergency, we agreed that the firm would send a team between 8am and 1pm the next day. The plumbers were at my door promptly at 8am as agreed. As it turned out, we had been following an incorrect process to bleed the 2-zone heating system. They did it correctly (and educated us for the future) and the heat is now reaching all areas of the house. We were happy with the service and would call them again if we have a plumbing or heating job to be done.

We need some pipes replaced between the first and second floor bathrooms and called this company for an estimate. They flat out refused to come and give us an estimate.

I had them move the outside faucet from the house that was under my deck. I have a two deck system and he moved the faucet to the front of the deck so I can easily turn on the water.
