"Excellent. McGuire installed my new Delta faucet. While doing so, we saw the sink was pulled away from the counter and sunk. It was installed 17 years ago. The sticks were worn, the basket was bad, which we didn't know at the time. McGuire called his boss, Mike who came over and along with Mike fixed my sink. Fabulous service and quality."

"8/21/2023 We requested service for drain clogging and self-diagnosed additional leaking from washer due to the clogged drain from the main kitchen sink. This was verified by plumber Anthony P. when he arrived. He was professional and completed the unclogging of my kitchen sink to the main line. Only negative was the total cost, as it was more than 2x our local company Allen Drain. But I wanted a plumber and not just an unclogging service, just in case. With my discount coupon from Angi's for service call, total was $290 for unclogging my kitchen sink drain line. I would call them again if the price was more competitive. Sarah K"

"I was a loyal customer for 20+ years. When I sold my home, they were awful. The people in the front office are horrible, no respect for residential customers. Seniors beware!!!! Picture this, after 27 years in my home, the movers had just left, we were sharing a tearful goodbye with my daughter in the driveway, when my phone rings, the realtor telling me there was a last minute snag because the nasty ******* at Davis read the riot act to my buyer, telling him he needed to extend the rental plan or they would rip out their equipment. Never mentioned that he could buy it - get this, the young nasty ***** in the office told me $350, then the office manager told me $300, then they told the new buyer $379. This to buy out 20+ year old equipment that was fully depreciated 10 years ago. Liars! Rob Davis would be very sad to know how they treat customers now. Probably sorry he left his name on the company."

HARPER WELL & PUMP INC
FAMILY-OWNED AND OPERATED. CHARGES SERVICE CALL PLUS HOURLY RATE. FLAT RATE ON YEARLY MAINTENANCE.
"I had a sewage pump fail with flooding in my basement. The system was installed by the prior owner and I had little information about it. I talked to 6 different plumbers and my city with 4 professionals coming to my house and failing to diagnose the problem. Eventually, I was referred to Harper Well & Pump. Mike was prompt in helping me diagnose the problem over the phone and said he could bring several parts for different potential solutions in the morning. He arrived when he said he would and made surprisingly quick work confirming the problem, replacing a failed sewage pump and its system, and replacing the old worn crock seal. Work was tidy."

"Negative a million stars. Worst contractor experience we have ever had. They only fixed the leaks they caused after we tried to initiate a refund. Our old mini split system upstairs needed to be replaced and we were referred to Blind and Sons. They came out and quoted us a good price and installed the new system the following week. The three weeks that followed were a nightmare. We noticed one of the units dripping down the wall; a tech came back and tightened a connector in the wall. We then noticed a dripping noise in the wall from the same unit; a tech came back again and made a plan to replace the new pump they just installed. Meanwhile our baseboards were now warped and untold water damage in our walls. Then we noticed a puddle by the other unit, a dripping noise in another wall and more water damage; another tech visit where they scheduled a follow up installer visit. The installer never showed up. They rescheduled for the next day (Friday), then cancelled and offered to call u"

FAQs for water softener service projects in Barberton, OH
The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.
Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.
It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.
The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:
System capacity
Home size
Water hardness levels
Type of water softener
Presence of electricity in the installation area
Local permit costs
Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
