Great....Rene is the best!!! Would use him anytime I need plumbing services...I highly recommend!
- Laurie B.
This company is unethical. Wanted me to lie to my insurance company to make a claim to get my repair done.
- Holly H.
Awful! The guys who worked here we nice and did the job. However, communication with Warren the owner was worse than atrocious. He made promises and agreements and didn't follow through in terms of scheduling, cost, reimbursement for heat left on 90 degrees while I was away for a week and by...
- Robert M.
We had a problem with a shower drain. They charged us for not only the labor, but for renting the equipment that they owned and were not charged themselves for renting. They were short tempered with my wife, as well. They over charged and were difficult to deal with. I will not be...
- Margaret M.
I solicited bids from several area heating contractors and VEC was the only one to respond with an actual bid. They recommended quality equipment that is reliable, efficient and quiet. The cost was reasonable for the scope of work. Their crew was very professional from start to finish. ...

Install was fine but how hard is it to replace a water heater. A tenant called this plumbing company because the water heater started leaking and he didn't have hot water. The tenant didn't call me unfortunately and Crisafulli did the replacement. Now, as an experienced landlord and...

Another great experience with Dan from Liberty Sewer! I called him on Sunday night, as water was pouring out from under our kitchen cabinets. Our pipes under the sink completely fell apart. Dan called me back on Monday and set up an appointment for Tuesday. We left the door open for him,...

Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.
"I strongly caution anyone considering doing business with this company. I gave them a deposit of $4,428.65, and when I canceled a week later they kept almost $900 of it even though my service was not for another 6 weeks. You do sign a very simple, clearly stated document that says: should you cancel beyond three business days, you understand your deposit is non-refundable. Northern Basements may choose to refund depending on cancellation circumstances I fully acknowledge that I canceled a few days outside that window, but I hoped an honest company that cares about customers and referrals would choose to provide a full refund. I am a sucker for hoping that. They chose to risk my impression, referral, and review for $885.53. If nothing else comes out of this, I hope everyone reading at least goes in knowing that this statement on their contract is a real threat and your deposit is a hostage. Even Air b and bs offer full refunds on deposits within just a few days of their arrival date. 3 days to cancel with service not scheduled for 6 weeks out, Come on man. No materials were used. No service workers time was taken. The manager justified the 20% withholding as credit card fees, restocking fees, time and resources for the estimate, and administrative fees. I wholly accepted responsibility for the credit card fees and time of Paul, the gentleman who performed the assessment, and I offered to settle at 10%. I still believe any reputable company would have provided a full refund at this point in a project, or at most deduct the credit card fees because nothing more went into this beyond what would have normally been a free estimate. The further arguments the manager made for the additional fees were the scheduling of their team and the allocation of materials for my project. Complete nonsense, especially when the project was not set for 6 weeks away. Because they had my deposit hostage, they had control over how much they decided they wanted to keep, it was completely arbitrary, and they kept almost $900 of my money without providing anything. If they wanted to cover their credit card transaction fees, fine, at most 6%, but the rest is absolute robbery. The only solace I can find in this loss of almost $900 now is that I did not spend another $13,000 with them. I tried to call Paul after speaking with the manager to ask if he could do me a favor and try to reason with the manager on my behalf because he seemed nice enough. No answer. No callback. I will never seek out their services again and I will actively discourage others from doing so but, based on my experience, I expect they do not care."

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Ripton, VT
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog.
