On Wednesday, May 6, 2015, we woke up around 9:30 a.m. to find we had no hot water. We called Brandon who said he could examine the water heater late that afternoon to determine the problem. He arrived at about 3:30 p.m. that day, examined that the 9 year-old water heater, and determined that we needed a replacement. He also showed me personally what the problem was and showed me that a simple fix would not work. Because of my experience with plumbing, I knew that a replacement was required. Because I had friends arriving from Indiana that afternoon, it was imperative that we had hot water. Brandon immediately scheduled a replacement water heater for the next morning. He arrived the next day shortly after 8:00 am and within 2 1/2 hours we had hot water for our guests and ourselves. Brandon drained our old water heater, replaced it with a new one, guaranteed his own 2-year 100% personal guarantee (over and above the 6 year guarantee by the water heater company), removed the old water heater and cleaned up the entire area. This is a family-owned business started by his father who is semi-retired which he turned the business over to him.
Because of Angie's List requirements, it is suggested that the "Don'ts" should be recorded so here goes. DON'T be trapped by discounts and/or coupons to save a few dollars (which may or may not save you something years down the road). Brandon will work with you and you will know that you have received quality service at a reasonable price and that his word is his bond. I have already discussed some future plumbing project for later this year and, as far as I am concerned, his company is the only one that I trust 100% to do that work satisfactorily.
My husband and I were on a ski trip out of town when our renters called to tell us they had no hot water. The original company we called (whom we have worked with before) came out and said the water heater needed to be replaced and that it was "shot". They gave us an estimate of $1,800 which seemed a little steep to us so we called around for estimates. One place gave us a price of $1400 then we happened upon Brandon on Angie's List.
He quoted us a price of $1,100 but also went out and gave us a second opinion on whether or not it could be repaired before we made the final decision. We decided to go with him, partly because of the price, but mostly because we prefer dealing closely with the owner of a contracting business. As a rule, we have received far better prices and service dealing with owners.
Here's where it gets good. The heater to be replaced is up two flights of stairs, the last one having a couple tight turns. When Brandon got there and saw it, he told us the original $1,800 quote was not that ridiculous given the extra man power necessary. however, because he had already quoted us the $1,100 we settled on a price of $1,200. He installed it the next day with absolutely zero drama.
It's difficult to find people who are as good the words that come out of their mouths, but Brandon is definitely one of them. He is the kind of contractor you hope you can find, and he has earned a loyal customer. We will be calling him first for future projects.
It was difficult for Potomac due to the age of water heater. Handle broke off while old one was being dismantled. They got all the water soaked up and fans to dry it out. Even though it took them longer to do the job it did not change the cost. We are pleased with the outcome.
