Description of Work: We have used Bill West for a number of things over the years. Most recently they found a major plumbing problem and did a huge job of replacing all of the pipes and clean out. We have had the most interaction with 2 plumbers -- Travis and Jeremy. We found them both to be really hard working and very knowledgeable. We had a bad experience once with a different employee and I can't remember his name. So, it really depends on who you get. I recommend asking for Travis or Jeremy.

Description of Work: I have been using Bill West Plumbing since I found them on Angie's list several years ago. Jim, the owner is responsive and if something goes wrong, makes sure it's corrected and/or compensated. His workers are professional and courteous and clean up after themselves. In addition to installing a complete drain system in my 75 year old home, they have also installed toilets and repaired leaks both inside and outside. When a job requires additional contractors (i.e. shower pans, restoration, etc.) they have the contacts and work with them to make things right. Yes, you can count on them to do a quality job for a reasonable price.

Poorly
Description of Work: Has repeatedly not shown up at appointed time. Most recent experience had reserved from 12-2, got a call that they wanted to come 15 minutes early and they came even earlier than that. They left before anyone coudl get there to let them in without calling. Very frustrating as this required special arrangements to get someone there on time. This has happenned in the past as well.

The plumber came, examined under the house and the bathrooms and changed the 'stopped'? in various toilets. He thought these were leaking and that was the cause of the problem. We had known that we had intermittent leaking, so concluded that this was reasonable. The work was quick and efficient.
Description of Work: Noise of undetermined origin had been thudding for three days with a repetitive thud, thud, thud. We thought we had somehow captured an escaped elephant under our house. We contacted Bill West on Tuesday and, of course, Wednesday morning the elephant appeared to have gone to sleep - silence.

When the representative came to access the job, he was very thorough in analyzing what needed to be done, including even getting under the house as part of the assessment. He made recommendations for adding external clean outs, which I hadn't thought of, but was a very good idea. In a way this was engineered better than I would have thought to do it myself. They actually showed up early because he had a cancellation of another job and the workers he had were very conscientious in maintaining the job as neat as possible. They put a tarp over the grass to protect it, and then put dirt on the tarp. They found additional problems and recommended ways to fix it and I accepted. They did a great job. These guys were professional, with no hassles.
Description of Work: Replaced the main drain sewer line.

Overall it was OK, however, I was slightly frustrated that it wasn't fixed the first time. They were prompt in getting back to me and in coming out to fix it the first time. The technician had warned me that he might not be able to repair it and that I should consider replacing it altogether because it was a Mansfield, that tends to break. I asked him to try to repair it and he said he would and did. He said he had repaired it. Around the next day, when I noticed it continually flushing, I realized it wouldn't work properly. After several days, I spoke with the office and the technician, it was clear that they would charge me the 1st $90 service call, plus $345 to install a new toilet. After some negotiation, they agreed to discount the cost $40. They came that day and did the installation. The new toilet is now working fine. If I had known the fix would not work immediately, of course I would have gone for the new toilet, but they maintained that the technician had warned me.
Description of Work: They first came to repair my toilet then came back to replace it with a new model.

I'D SAY THAT THEY DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB. I USED TO CALL THEM ALL THE TIME, UNTIL I FOUND A NEW PLUMBER THAT WAS MORE CONVENIENT. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I REDO ALL THE PLUMBING IN MY HOUSE AND THAT KIND OF ANNOYED ME, SINCE IT SEEMED LIKE A REALLY BIG, UNNECESSARY JOB. BUT I GUESS IF YOU CAN HOLD YOUR OWN WITH A PLUMBER, YOU'RE DOING ALRIGHT.
Description of Work: THESE GUYS HELPED ME CLEAN OUT THE PIPES IN MY OTHER HOUSE. THEY ALSO CLEANED THE PLUMBING OUT TO THE MAIN SERVICE PIPE.

THEY ARE FINE. WE USE THEM BECAUSE THEY GO BY THE HOUR, NOT BY THE JOB. THEY CHARGE BY THE HOUR. THEY ARE FAMILIAR AND CONSISTENT IN THEIR WORK. THEY CHARGE BY THE HOUR SO YOU HAVE A MORE REASONABLE WAY OF ESTIMATING HOW MUCH YOUR THING WOULD COST.
