Whenever we had a problem, we called on them and even used their service agreement plan for several years. Whatever they told us we needed, we did it. The problem we began to encounter came when one plumber would come and suggest something to fix the problem. We would do that and then when we had problems again, the next plumber from the same company would come and suggest that we really didn't need what was done and suggest something different for another ridiculous price. They have always been paid in full at the time of service. So, there was no "recouping" of any funds from the last job that was apparently "not needed". It started to be habitual that things that had been done "were not really needed" any longer after full payment. For us, this began to feel like a bad game.
We came to a point of needing our sewer line replaced from our clean out to the house for the main bathroom. We called on a different company to do it for us because Pippin wanted over 4000.00 for the job and the other company would do the same 25 foot job for 1100. In the process of doing the work, we discovered that the last job that cost us nearly 2000.00 with Pippin was not done according to what we were told. I would venture to say that it is not that the "quality" of work was bad. But it was that we had been told to get things done that were not necessary and charged for it. Did I forget to mention that the service manager had told us in 2012 that our line was fine from the house to the main after having run a camera through to see where the problem was . But, just a few weeks afterward one of his plumbers told us that the entire house needed to be re plumed for 10,000.00?? yeah, see what I mean??
Anyway, We were told that a pex water line replaced our old copper line from the main to the house with a hole having to be cut through our foundation and then the line run into the house. Well, that was not the case. The copper tubing was still there, attached to the pex line that fell short of actually going into the house by about 3 feet, and there was NOT in fact a hole drilled under our foundation although we were charged for all of this work that was not done. When we discovered this, we called Pippin and asked for an explanation and was told by the secretary/dispatcher that she did not have the records....WHAT??.
Shortly after our call to them, we received a call back from the service manager. Meanwhile the other plumbers are standing aside, on hold until we could get this straightened out. The service manager from Pippin tries to explain to me on the phone what work they had done in 2012. When he finally got over to our house that day, it was a different story. He said they did it that way because my air condenser unit was sitting right where they needed to dig and we did not want to pay the high cost at the time. I distinctly remember that being said about the "sewer line" and not the water line. But the still charged us for that extra 3 1/2 to 4 feet of pex line that did not exist and the hole under the foundation that did not exist either. The other company who has successfully excavated this huge hole assures me that what they said they did was not in fact done and showed me the proof. Pippin said they would come and fix the work the following week. That was the 3rd week of Dec 2014. We still have not heard from them. We have fired them and cancelled our "service" agreement with them.
We are happy (so far) with the work that Andy's plumbing has done for a fraction of the cost. My only complaint about them is that they are not very punctual and need to do a lot better in regard to that. If they screw up, we will be writing about them too as "public service notice".....
In regard to Pippin Brothers; keep your money unless you have some to waste. It was very disappointing that they had no more respect for such a long business relationship with us then what it turned out to be. Nevertheless, they have competitors and we will gladly do business with one of them than to do business with Pippin ever again. For us this shows serious integrity issues and we will gladly put our money else where.
Overall though, our system seems to work well and appears to be reliable but getting to this point was truly an exercise in how not to treat your customers. Buyer Beware.
"We have started calling our maintenance customers to perform the maintenances. We do call alphabetically, so that is probably why you have not received a phone call yet. I will have Angie give you a call to schedule your appointment. We do have a list of customers that we call at the very beginning of each furnace and AC maintenance and we will be happy to add you to that list."
"We are sorry to hear this. We have pulled our records and we were there in June of 2009. Our owner is has never turned down a customer's call when its comes to a job not being done right. This is why we are surprised by the review. I know it was been more than 3 years, but we would like to make the situation right. Mark would be happy to talk with you and even come to the house to see the work that was preformed. We stand behind our work and hate that you feel this way about your job. Once again, please give us a call at 580-248-7924, if you would like to speak with Mark Pippin."
Following a botched heating/AC installation by another company that caused some severe water damage to our home, we called several other local companies to try to correct the problem. Even though they did not install the unit, Pippin Brothers worked with us and were the ones who finally figured out how to stop the leaking. We were impressed with their persistence and their professionalism in solving the problem and have used them exclusively since that time.
We also used Pippin for the plumbing portion of a bathroom rennovation and found them very knowledgeable and responsive to questions regarding purchase of new fixtures. After the new tile floor was completed Pippin came in to reinstall the toilet. The plumber approached me and said that he thought that there was a problem with some of the tiles. When he put his tools down there was a hollow sound and he was concerned that there was a space under the tile that might cause the tile to break after he reset the toilet. He added that he could not be certain but he thought that he should mention it. I decided to play it safe and asked the tile guy to come back and check it. At first he was miffed and told me that he didn't think that there was a problem, but when he came and started tapping around on the tiles he agreed with the plumber and pulled up and reset four tiles where the toilet would sit. The plumber's comments surely saved us from aggravation and additional costs down the road.
All the Pippin personnel work quickly and cleanly and are willing to answer questions. Actually, COMMUNICATION is one of their best attributes. The folks who man the phones are always courteous as they respond to our calls and keep us informed about the whereabouts of the service providers and the folks who come to do the work clearly explain what they find wrong and what they propose to do to correct the situation. Where possible they give us options!
Pippin has a long record for dependability and we simply would not call anyone else in Lawton for heating/AC or plumbing work!
"We do charge a convince charge during certain hours. This charge is in effect from 5pm-7am. We answer our phones with our office staff 24 hours 7 days a week even on holidays. We must pay our service technician extra for coming out on overtime, plus incentive to pay. We also pay our office staff to answer the phone while they are with their family. We must do this, so service techs and office staff WANT to work afterhours and weekends. This is why your daughter called several companies before calling us and no one answered. Our technicians and office staff WANT to make these calls happen and make sure they are taken care of when the call comes in. We don’t charge by the hour we charge by the job. Your daughter was quoted the $169 for us to come out after hours and diagnose the problem; the technician gives an upfront price before any work is performed. This call normally would have been around $153 during normal business hours. 730am-5pm. Service Partners with our company pay regular prices all day every day even nights and holidays."
