They were great.
Description of Work: Power's was called because there appeared to be water leaking in the bathroom. When they responded the standing water had dried. They tightened valves and cleaned a drain. They were very pleasant are quickly scheduled the visit. I thought the charge was reasonable. I would definitely use them again.

st you'd
Description of Work: Over a number of calls they did extensive work on my gas lines and sewage ejection pump. Pros:Available on weekends and evenings. Respond well to emergency calls. Friendly. You can absolutely trust these guys around your home when you are not there. Cons:Very expensive, in part because of being inefficient. Charge for every 6" nub of pipe. One part of the job involved replacing a gas line that probably had over a dozen elbows (and a dozen straight pieces). So, each piece of the line had to be custom cut to fit. Most guys on a job like this would bring their threader to site. For a dozen pieces of pipe (24 threads) usually you'd bring it right to the work area. At the very least you'd have it in the back of the truck. But, the LL Powers guy took each piece - one at a time - back to their shop to cut and thread it. Each trip was at 30 to 45 minutes. A job that should have taken 4-6 hours took several days. This is the only reason that I rated so low on professionalism. Apart from that their professionalism was fine. The good part is that when I challenged them on the price they reduced it.

Thanks for taking the time to post your feedback on Angie's list. I owned the company since January 2010 and this description of work does not fit the way we do things for this type of job. Since I have been involved, and because this is a larger type of job we would have issued you a proposal with a fixed price. Then our foreman would have done a site visit to interrupt any patterns that you are describing. We have a portable threader and after the first trip back to the office we would have done exactly as you advised and brought this to the job site. I live and work in the neighborhood so providing professional quality service and fair pricing has always been the way this company operates and it is critical to our success. It is possible that your job was done before my ownership here or when the former owner was ill as things did slip through the cracks when he was unexpectedly struck with an illness. I tried to find your record since I was not familiar with the details of your job and can't find it (our records for our current computer system go back to 2006 so perhaps this is an older job than 2010 as you thought). I love the vibe of your coffee business on the corner and would hope that if you ever had an issue we could work it out. In the meantime, I hope that we can become friends since we are both live and work here. If you would like to meet in person to go over anything that concerns you with us or our current operations, please let me know. Janet

ALL WORK WAS DONE IN AN EXCELLENT MANNER WITH DUE CARE IN BRINGING ALL THE MATERIALS THROUGH OUR CONDO. WE ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR AN ESTIMATE OF THE COST TO INSTALL A TANKLESS HEATER. THE ADVICE WE RECEIVED WAS TO FOREGO THE EXPENSE - AND WE MUCH APPRECIATED THEIR HONESTY IN NOT RECOMMENDING WE SPEND MORE MONEY (WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN $3000 - $4000 MORE).
