Called at 7:30 am, they arrived by 8:00am and performed the job quickly and efficiently. Their price was $55.00 less than a competitor that was dispatched by American Home Shield. I will definitely recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a plumbing company.

They replaced it when they said they would and for a great price. Even recommended that we could save a few bucks by buying it ourselves and having them install it. They have done lots of other work for me and I always recommend them.

We discovered a leak in our yard water line just as we were leaving to go out of town. I looked here on Angie's List and picked a few names of plumbers to take with me. I called the first one on my list, Caldwell and Sons. I had to leave a message and I got a return call from Mr. Caldwell within a few hrs. I told him the problem and that we were out of town. He told me he'd take care of it and send me a bill. Both happened promptly and efficiently. I'm glad to now know a good plumber to call for future issues.

I found a pipe leaking behind the wall while moving furniture in preparation for a floor tile project. I needed to get it fixed fast because the tile contractor was scheduled the next day. I called Caldwell and Sons who said they could be out the same day. I didn't try to call anyone else because I thought I had a repairman on the way. They called a couple of hours later to confirm the address and told me they would be here in about half an hour. About 20 minutes later the company owner called to tell me that they "didn't go out that far." We live in the country approximately 20 miles from the company. Now that I've squandered 3 hours, I can't find anyone to get here to do the work done today.

Response from Caldwell & Son's
We are sorry for any stress or inconvience to the member. We received his call on Labor Day. We let most of our employees off that day but we do man the phone for regular customers with a problem. On that particular day we had an employee answering calls that was unfamilar with the area the member lives. I was contacted about the call after the truck had headed out. It was my decsion to call and inform him that we could not respond due to the factt that his residence is outside our service area. It was an unfortunate mistake on our part that the employee was not better informed on service area.-+

Description of Work: We had a clogged drain and Caldwell & Sons came out to work on it. It was a tough one, but they got it. Then . . . that night the drain clogged again. Caldwell & Sons responded at once thew following morning and fixed the second clog--and did not charge us for another trip. We are extremely pleased.

It went very well, and as proposed. The plumbing work went as well as the electrical
Description of Work: Mr Caldwell rewired much of a home I inherited, including bringing it up to code. When i mentioned that I was converting the gas hot water heater to electric, he told me that I could get a free one from Alabama Power, which saved me money. He was very helpful, easy to work with, and thorough. I live in another state, and had no problem getting the work done well, and fairly. He worked very well with my Project Manager. Overall, I am pleased. Updated 0204/2012: I found out that the city code required the plumbing be handled by a licensed plumber, so I contacted Mr Caldwell again for a quote on this work. He was extremely prompt in providing the quote, and it was very reasonable. To save me some money, he worked with my remodeling contractor on the wok that did not require a license. The work was done very fast, even though an unexpected problem arose because of some poor work done by a prior contractor. Mr Caldwell's quote to fix that work was much lower than other plumbers led me to believe, so he did that as well. After the work was done, my remodeling contractor told me that Mr Caldwell added a few extras that he did not charge me for. His work passed inspection without a hitch. I was extremely happy with the work, the professionalism, and the price for both the plumbing and the electrical, and will gladly use his services again!

Didn't do at all!
Description of Work: I called this company to see if someone could come to my house and give an estimate on installing two bathroom faucets. The person I talked to said yes they could and proceeded to ask my name, phone number, if I already had the faucets and scheduled a date to come to the house. He then wanted my address and directions, unfortunately when I gave my address he said they did not service my area. When I asked why, he said they only service the Prattville area due to the fact they have all the work they can handle. I can understand this but they need to find out first if the person calling is in their area or post this on their information sheet. It was a waste of my time and a long distance call...this could have been avoided if they would specify the area they are willing to perform services.

It went great as stated above. No problems what so ever. Caldwell and Sons is a very professional, ethical, and skilled company with a very nice staff and mangement.
Description of Work: Calwell & Sons installed a waterheater and performed additional work and provided supplies to bring my plumbing, related to the water heater, up to code. This family owned business is so personable and accommodating as well as very skilled. When my old water heater leaked, it was leaking through the ceiling since it is located in the attic. Caldwell Brothers came to my house within an hour of my call to avoid more damage. It was no easy tack to get the old water heater out and the new into the small passage to the attic, but they did it. The entire team of workers were so nice. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I was pleasantly surprised when they gave me my bill. Even with the very difficult access through which to work, but they were still very reasonable on the price of the work and supplies. I recommend Caldwell & Sons to a friend when her plumming running to the street malfunctioned. She also loved their work. They finished the job in a day and she was pleased with the price of the work. She commented on how nice they were.

July 29, 2010 had drainage backing up into house sinks and tubs while clothes washer in spin cycle. Called a major national plumbing service. They responded quickly and discovered main house sewage drain was stopped up. In addition, it was discovered the the old Orangeburg drain had decayed to the point of non-existance. After being informed the drain had to be replaced, I asked for an estimate. The request was called in and I was told someone would be out to provide estimate that afternoon, July 29, 2010. Needless to say, no one showed up or called. The next morning, Friday, July 30, 2010, I went to Angie's List to see if any positive reports for local plumber's. Caldwell & Sons had four positive reports. I called Mr. James Caldwell at 8:00 a.m. and he said he would be out in 20 minutes to provide an estimate; he was at my front door in 15 minutes and provided the estimate after noting what had to be done. The national franchise plumbing company showed up about 8:30 a.m. and provided their estimate and said they could get to the job maybe by Monday or Tuesday. The national firm was several hundred dollars higher on their estimate than Mr. Caldwell's and they had estimated 8 hours to do the job, when they could get to it. I called Mr. Caldwell and asked when he could get started. At 9:00 a.m., one hour after I got his estimate, the service that checks for underground pipes and lines and been to the property and marked the underground gas lines and Mr. Caldwell already had the new piping at the property, a back-hoe on site and beginning the work. Caldwell & Sons were completely finished with the job by 2:30 p.m. I am very, very pleased with their work ethic (They show up when they say they will, which is extremely rare these days). They are very professional and highly competent. I would recommend them to anyone. By the way, THE FINAL BILL WAS LESS THAN THE ESTIMATE.!!!
Description of Work: Main house drain completely collapsed. Sewage backing up into house sinks and tubs. Replacement of 4 inch house main drain for a distance of 50 feet to include clean-outs and back-up preventer.

My hot water heater leaked and overflowed(my heater is on the second floor of my house)..I asked a friend who I could use as a plumber that would be reasonable and prompt..she referred me to Caldwell and Sons LLC...it was night time when my neighbor called Mr. Caldwellfor me(did I mention it was freezing and sleeting outside?)...Mr. Caldwell was at my house within 25 minutes, drained and capped off the hot water heater, found the water meter outside, and quickly called another gentleman to come and turn off the water at the outside meter...Mr. Caldwell then gave me a fantastic estimate that was LESS THAN ONE HALF the price that a very large company had quoted me a few hours before, even though Mr. Caldwell was going to do the same amount of work with the exact same type of materials the large company was going to use..I am a widow and know nothing about hot water heaters not to mention the fact that I am on a fixed income!! Caldwell and Sons arrived here the next morning and within 2 hours they had completed the job, took the time to explain what they were doing, and how I could check the heater myself from time to time, and how to regulate the temperature of the water on the water tank they had installed...PLUS, they brought in Resolve carpet cleaner and removed any little spots they had made on my carpet, and before they began their work, they put down a canvas blanket so they wouldn't track in and out...they left me a certified rebate coupon to be redeemed for $200.00 dollars!!!! I LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!!!!
Description of Work: Mr. Caldwell replaced my hot water heater with a new one, replaced the valves and the pipe going to the new hot water heater, and took the time to show and explain exactly that he was going to do AND THEN after the service he performed, he explained how to service the heater.
