I made the mistake of hiring Kellem’s Plumbing. They replaced a disposal (badger1 1/3hp- charged me $250 sells for $125 in hardware store- tried to say the one at Lowe’s was a lower quality version???? ITS THE SAME EXACT MAKE AND MODEL. Company don’t have 2 production lines for “home owner quality” and “plumber quality” and them label them exactly the same.) Replaced a bathroom faucet (Kingston Brass Columbia 1.2 GPM Centerset Bathroom Faucet charged me $110 for a $38 faucet) 2x steel braided cables ($20 a piece they are $7 a piece) A quart of draino $14 The total for parts was $413 then he said “you have to add 1.9% on top of that for my “cost” whatever that means. His math came to $746 TOTAL FOR PARTS ALONE. Figure that math out for me ? He arrived at 8:15am and started working at 8:45 and finished at 11:15 and charged me 4 hours at $75 an hour for a total of $300. The total bill was $1046!! For a disposal, and a faucet. DO NOT HIRE THIS “COMPANY” They will absolutely take advantage of you, and then call you “money grubbers” when you pull a calculator out. You are better off hiring a reputable plumbing company in the area. If you’re trying to save money, do NOT look to KELLEM’S PLUMBING! If you see their Craigslist ad, RUN!
Response from Kellam's Plumbing and Heating
"Mr.[Member Name Removed], Kellams Plumbing and Heating has been around for 40 plus years. To me sound like you wanted something for free. If you think what Mr. Kellam charged you was high, he is the cheapest Plumber in the Fredericksburg Area. He has only raised he rates one time in 40 years he has been in business. For what I read in your comment you have must checked around on prices. I sure Mr. Kellam probably told you the prices of the Garage Disposable and the bathroom faucet. Why didn't you refuse to use what he had and you Sir buy the materials Yourself. Mr Kellam has been my plumber for over 25 plus years and he is a fantastic plumber and, his prices are very reasonable. Mr Kellam has done some very major jobs for me as well. And not one time in the years that he has been my plumber that I have to call him back on any of the work he has done for me. Parts are not cheap. In this day and time Mr. [Member Name Removed]. No Mr.Kellam and this company does not advantage of anyone. Mr.Kellam has more. Respect and he is very well know in the Fredericksburg and surrounding counties. Mr. [Member Name Removed] you know the old saying you get what you paid for, if you want the job done right then you pay, but you don't care how the job is done, then that is when you call one of theses Harry Home Plumbers. who could care less whether the job is done right or not, or next time do it yourself. And rating him as one NO WAY!!! You will probably get more reviews on your comment. This review that you have left and telling people to RUN if they see the Craigslist Ad , he is to well liked. If you think that Mr. Kellam prices were high, then maybe you need to call some of other plumbing Companies and let them tell you there prices. 5/15/2024.

. I had been dealing with a slow drain for a long time before I finally called Kellam's Plumbing. Neighbors had recommended him because he was so neat, efficient and prompt. I checked his website, which gave me a lot of information, and he had alot of 5 star reviews. That's why I called him. We made an appointment, and he was on time, which I appreciated. He had to use some kind of pressure hose he had, because the stoppage apparently was way down the line, near where it emptied into the sewer line.  He was comfortable explaining to me where it was, and how to prevent it from happening again. He completely cleared the drain. There was no mess, and I thought his bill was reasonable, for his time and the equipment he had to use. I would definitely call him again. He impressed me as being very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
Oh, I've had bad experiences before with plumbers and electricians, even an HVAC guy, who didn't know what they were doing, and I had to have their work redone. So now, when I hire any person who is supposed to be certified by the state, I ask to see his license. I know it sounds crazy, but there are alot of un-qualified people out there. Anyway, I explained that to the Kellam's Plumbing man, and he understood, agreed, and showed me both his license and certification, which was issued by the DPOR.

I used him because he was the only plumber who responded to a message I left on his machine. That was the first time I used him. He was willing to explain everything to me without being condescending. He solved my plumbing problems and didn't charge me an arm and a leg. He is NEAT, efficient, and reasonable.
