The repairman was on time and clean and on time He used booties to keep the floors clean. He provided the estimate and factored in a discount. He replaced the washer valves in my laundry room and cleaned everything up very nicely. I was very pleased with the quality of work. He answered all of my questions and provided good information. I received a call from the company immediately after the repairman to follow-up on the service call. I will use Ernie's Plumbing Service agai
Description of Work: The washer valves in my laundry room were leaking when they were in the on position. The repariman replaced the valves and although he had to cut a hole in the wall to reach the pipes he did an excellenet job of cutting the hole.

We have been fairly pleased with them. We have used them for years. There are a couple of their plumbers that we know by name that have done a real good job for us. When we call, we ask for a specific plumber. They generally do a good job and they don't fool around. They help us. They know us and they have done reasonably good work for us. We will use them again.

He was very professional and informed me of the cost and time it would take up front-both of which were accurate. He was careful not to track dirt in the house and was very understanding about the fact that my dog barked at him the whole time.

Dennis arrived in the time window we were given, he listened attentively to our description of the problem we were having with the toilets, and he helped us with estimates on installing new faucets, toilets, and sinks. He was very personable, neat and clean. He came into our house with shoe covers and cleaned up before he left. Very pleasant personality. Enjoyable person with whom to work. Gave good suggestions for monitoring the problem we were having.
Description of Work: Dennis augered two slow emptying toilets and flushed them with about 10 gallons of hot water. He continued to test them to ensure they were flushing correctly. Based on the age of the toilets and how they were emptying, he suggested installing new toilets because the old ones didn't appear to have the pressure needed to flush properly. He gave estimates for labor and installing new toilets plus estimates for other miscellaneous plumbing needs we have.

The plumber tried to do everything to avoid investigating the source of the problem--which was water pooling in the water shutoff valve compartment. He suggested a water leak in the home, even though I said I never saw one. Then he suggested a foundation leak. Finally he said he'd charge $175/hour to to dig soil around the shutoff valve. That was too outrageous--I said goodbye without even getting a quote.
Description of Work: I had an exterior water leak. The guy comes out, sees water pooling in the ground, yet suggests any and all possible "leaks" without even looking at the obvious source.

I would like to thank this customer for bringing this to our attention, this is one of our newer plumbers and we will need to put him through more customer service training and on how our company represents itself and our locating policies. I have spoken with the customer to make sure she was taken care of and to see if I could send another plumber to her home to make the repairs needed, however she informed me she had already had the repair made. Our supervisor will be riding with this plumber and working to retrain him until we are 100% confident with his customer service skills. Our plumber was trying to make sure he was doing a thorough locate but unfortunately did not fully explain the procedure to the customer.

One of Ernie's plumbers came out during the week and was on time. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly and provided an estimate. He also provided ways in which I could save money on the estimate, like digging under a beam that was in the way of him accessing the pipe under the house. I called and had the work scheduled for a Saturday which was at no extra cost. The original estimate was to be a full day of work with one plumber. With the work that I did under the house it ended up cutting the time and estimate in half. I was very appreciative of their timeliness, advice and professionalism. The plumber was very friendly and knowledgeable. I had a problem that night with the tub not draining. Ernie's sent over a plumber as soon as possible that night. The problem appeared to have worked its way out on its own because after about 30 minutes the drain cleared. I called Ernie's back to tell them of the update and they said that they would still send out their plumber just to check everything out. The plumber came out, went under the house and checked the line and everything appeared to be alright. He mentioned that sometimes when a line hasn't been used in awhile (which would apply to ours as the drain from the tub had disconnected from the sewer line a few months before) that it can take awhile to clear the line of any buildup that may have happened. I haven't had any issues since that night but Ernie's work is guaranteed for a year I feel comfortable calling them if anything happens.
Description of Work: Replace drain line in tub under the house.

They have always been prompt, thorough and professional. They kept me informed of every step including the timing on the project which went over several days. Damian and Jimmie have always been great and are genuinely concerned if I am pleased with the job. Damian had previously come out on a Saturday morning to replace a leaking hot water heater and did everything to make it go smoothly for me. I plan to use them in the future of all my plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Ernie's has performed several jobs for me over the past year, the most recent replacing a broken sewer line that included taking up a section of sidewalk, digging down 8 feet and replacing an old line that had collapsed. Then they had to re-lay the sidewalk once the hole was filled in.

Terry arrived on time and did his estimate for the cost of repairs and how much time. It was not the low bid but he seemed more thorough than the other services. He discovered some additional damage as he was making repairs and he carefully explained what it was , how it was impacting me and the procedure and cost and time to fix. The charges were reasonable. The additional work added time and the three hour job turned into a 7-8 hour job. He came back the next morning and finished the job. He was professional and thorough if somewhat slow (paid by the job so this was not really a negative). I would use Ernie's again but with the quality of workmanship I doubt I will have to anytime soon.
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen faucet. replaced supply line and angle stops on kitchen and bathroom toilets and , replaced flange and bathtub drain trim m rebuild tube and shower valve and additional maintenance of this sort.

Overall the plumber (Michael Ashby) and the company were excellent. I felt the other people I had look at it did not really want to do hard messy work. I might have gotten the repair done cheaper if I had had a million people come give me estimates but I couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Ernie's for taking care of something that had become one huge problem for me.
Description of Work: This was a big messy hard job. Basically the pipe leading to my septic tanks was in two pieces in my foundation. The septic people said its a plumber job. The plumber referred to me by the septic people said he would do it but did not show up after I waited all day for him. Another plumber just looked at it and said he did not think the owners of his company would let him do it and if they did we would have to move out of the house for a while. I called Ernie's because their ad said they could handle anything. And they did. The plumber (Michael Ashby) was literally the best I have ever had out here. (I have a big old house so I have alot of plumbers out here). He said "I am not scared of a shovel" and started digging and jack hammering the foundation as soon as he got here and figured out what the problem was. He was very knowledgeable, pleasant and eager to help. He left me notes telling me when I could use the plumbing if I was not there when he left or he had his office call me. The actual repair was two days of extremely hard work. Later on I asked him to come out again to check on the repair because I had another issue that did not pertain to the repair but I was unsure if it did or not. He came out to help me and did not charge me for a second visit. He also has repeatedly offered to come fill up the hole again at no charge after the foundation people repair my foundation. And they did take credit cards.

Response from Ernie's Plumbing Service Inc
First of all I would like to thank this customer for sending in a review and grading our company overall. We know that we are not the cheapest plumbing company in town and we really do not strive to be the cheapest, however we DO strive to provide the very best customer service possible and deliver a quality product to each andevery customer we go to. We know plumbing repairs are not cheap and we understand that there is always someone out there that can and will under cut any price in order to get a job. Some of these other plumbing companies will be here next week, next month or even next year if you have to call them back for a problem, but some of them will not be here. We want to make sure we are the company that is here to serve you for many years to come, and in order to do so we must charge accordingly to maintain and provide the services that we do. Every one of our customers are important to us and we always like to hear feed back either on the phone, in person, or here on Angie's List. We can use this as a tool to make sure our plumbers and office staff are doing the best job possible and also to allow our managers to address any area that is lacking.

Overall it went well. The representative from Ernie's was professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant.
Description of Work: We called for an estimate on replacing a stand up shower with a bathtub. The day before the scheduled visit our toilet started leaking. When Ernie's Plumbing showed up for the estimate they offered to fix the toilet right away. In our opinion it was way too expensive for the shower replacement, so we decided against that, but it was nice bonus to have the toilet fixed rather quickly.

They have helped us several times before over the years, but this time stood out. After I called they immediately sent a young man out despite ice on the ground and poor weather conditions. He assessed what needed to be done. He needed a part and said he would return today. He returned when he said he would, again despite poor weather, on time and fixed the problem. He also took care of another problem right away. The service he provided was exceptional and the price was very reasonable. They are just an exceptional organization.

They were prompt. My mother is 88 and has dementia. The plumber that fixed the leak was wonderful even though she asked him at least 30 times what was happening. He fixed everything and stayed 13 hours in order to get the leak fixed. I have never seen anyone that was so dedicated. I was extremely impressed. We had a major leak, but he went above and beyond. I would recommend Ernie's Plumbing to anyone.

Woke up on Tuesday morning and realized we had no hot water. Realized it was a problem with the hot water heater. Called Ernie's Plumbing and left a voice mail at about 6:30 a.m. by 7:30 a.m. they had called me back to set up a call. Terry Brown was at my house by 8:40 a.m. and gave me a free estimate. Getting it fixed was much less than getting a new hot water heater installed so he went right to work. He would periodically call me out to show me what he was doing or where the problem was. He even pointed out a couple of potential problems and I had those fixed as a precaution. He could not have been more professional or courteous. When he was done he checked everything and went over the PMA offer. It took less than four hours from the time Terry got to my house to get the job fixed.
Description of Work: They replaced the upper and lower thermostat in my hot water heater and well as the heating element. They flushed and drained the water heater. They replaced the cold water nipple. Once Terry got into the job he saw that some of the valves also needed to be replaced. He explained why they needed to be replaced.

Went very well. I called in the morning for an appointment and they got a plumber to my house within 15 minutes! The plumber was knowledgeable, and honest. The charge was for the job, not for the time spent doing it. I felt comfortable with this company, and have had good experiences with them in the past
Description of Work: I had 2 clogged bathroom sink drains. The stoppage apparently was deep in the drain outlet from the master bath. I had a clean out access installed to make future forays into the pipes a little easier. After he finished he fixed the seal under my toilet then he fixed the flush mechanism on my toilet, then fixed a leaky faucet in the bathtub. Total time was roughly 6 hours, the work was quite extensive

I was not comfortable with his visit and would not use this company. I believe this company raises their prices believing people will think they are receiving a good deal with the coupons. He figured the $100 off coupon in the estimate without knowing I had a coupon.
Description of Work: I called and scheduled an appointment for a plumber from Ernie's to come to my home and give me an estimate for a new hot water heater and to replace the wax seal on my toilet. The receptionist appeared to be friendly and very anxious to give me information about the coupons they offer. The plumber was punctual. The estimate given was higher than other companies I had contacted. I was a little uncomfortable with the plumber they sent out because he was "pushy". He wanted to see the toilet that I only wanted an estimate to replace a wax seal on. After looking at the toilet I was trying to leave the room and he asked if he could use the bathroom. I found that a little odd and was uncomfortable allowing him to use it. He was only suppose to be at my house for a brief time to give an estimate on the hot water heater in the garage. I did not offer for him to come in my home and look at the toilet and then use it. After the written estimate was given to me I explained that I was only getting estimates and we would let him know if we were interested. I was ready for him to leave but he continued to talk and try to convince me to go with his company. At one point he stated, so are you ready for me to start the work. When I said NO he acted as if he was joking.

Response from Ernie's Plumbing Service Inc
Ernie's Plumbing Service must apologize to this customer for our plumber's unprofessional attitude in asking to use their bathroom. As a matter of policy our plumbers are forbidden to do that just as they aren't allowed to park in a customer's driveway unless absolutely necessary. This problem will be addressed, and quickly, to this plumber and to the company as a whole. In reference to the estimate to replace the seal on her toilet it is our policy to see the problem before we are able to give the customer a quote to repair it. Otherwise we would be guessing at the cost and the actions needed in order to make that repair. We advertise with pride that we give FREE WRITTEN estimates before starting any work. We do not believe that we pressure any one to have work done and as usual we will ALWAYS be happy to leave and let the customer receive other estimates before starting the work. With that being said each person has a different way of presenting themselves and it is possible that in wanting to please this customer he was a little over-zealous and that matter will be brought to his attention as well. There is always a manager available for a customer to call in and express any concerns they have and we wish that this customer had done that. For the really pleasant part of this review! Thank you so much for including the compliment for our call-taker. We are proud knowing that our office employees are presenting us well to the public and she will be commended for that.
