thorough, and always seemed to be looking for ways to cut my cost.
Turned out that later I needed to ask them back to do additional work, at least they pointed out the possibilities for doing it on my own first.
If I had been notified, I would have gotten another bid for the work, and had a handy man dig out the dirt instead of paying two plumbers a total of $150 per hour.
After complaining, the office did call back and offered to split the labor bringing the total bill down to about $385. They agreed that I should have been notified about the changes. It was double what I was expecting, but it was a fair price based on the work that was done, and they did a good job.
Ordered it, and got it in, then returned the next working day as he said.
Fixed, and fixed right, for a lower cost than I expected.
Quick, polite and efficient.
The day of the install Emmett called and said he was running late, and it would be another hour. While I appreciated the call, it was almost time for him to be there, and I was already at the home. It was just a little too short notice for the delay. This was only a problem since I didn't live at the location. Emmett was the actual plumber for the install. He was very nice, and helpful when I discussed plumbing for a possible water softener in the future. He worked quickly, and for the work to be done since it was a move, I felt we had a very reasonable install price. Home Depot would have charged the same for a simple replacement.
The next day I was working in the bathroom and accidentally pulled on one of the caps, loosening it and causing a huge spray of water to leak both all over our bathroom and into the wall. We managed to tighten the cap again to stop it but were now nervous to leave it like that with the potential for another accident.
I called Touchstone back after the weekend and asked to have someone come out and cap the pipes more securely. I want to emphasize that it was NOT the plumber's fault that the cap leaked and I was asking that they be soldered simply for my own peace of mind, and to protect against future clumsiness. The same plumber came back out that day, extended the copper piping so we'd have some excess, and added soldered caps for security. And he informed me that they wouldn't be charging for the service! Completely unexpected, but very much appreciated, especially since the leaking wasn't their fault. We will be happy to use (and recommend) Touchstone for all our plumbing needs in the future!
They have worked on our house several times on different projects over the last several months. They have fixed a gas leak on the hot water heater, replaced a basket strainer on the kitchen sink, installed two new shower heads, installed a new toilet, took out the toilets and reinstalled them when we had new floor tiles installed, plumbed water to the refrigerator ice maker, and installed a missing drain trap on a workroom sink.
They are quick to respond to our call. Although I'm sure all their plumbers are equally great, we always request they send Emmit to do our repairs. He is professional, courteous, takes pride in his work and cleans up the mess.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Touchstone again and recommend them to my friends and family.
Before they left, they told me that it's possible a burned out heater element caused the breaker to switch, but they couldn't test it, since they were an install-only crew. I was to call back if water hasn't heated or there's not enough hot water after a couple of hours.The water was definitely warm but not hot after 2 hours so I called back. They told me that they would be there around 2 PM. They never showed up nor called. I got busy with kids and didn't realize it was past business hours, and, of course, it was the weekend. I was too disgusted to call them back on Monday. It's now Wednesday and they never followed up.
Overall, the speed of response was impressive - until there was none. Wish it had worked out.
My neighbor used Touchstone the same day when I told her that they were recommended on Angie's list.
