We scheduled an estimate and they never showed up. I called them back and they offered a 10% discount for the inconvenience and scheduled them to come out again. We were scheduled as the first appointment of the day to make sure they wouldn't be late, but after waiting over 45 minutes we finally told them not to show up. They were always friendly on the phone, but will not be using them again.
Description of Work: I called Ace to come out and take a look at our hot water valves. We had small black specs coming out of the hot water faucets.

All went very well. I called for an appointment in the morning and they were able to schedule me for that same afternoon. Showed up on time, with all the required material and did the installation in about one hour. As I watched out of curiosity, they took the time to be sure all was aligned and all fittings were tight, turned on the gas. Lit a pilot light and repeatedly asked if I needed any help in lighting others. They checked for leaks three times to be sure all was tight and were on their way. A very impressive service. I found them on Angie's list "Big Deals" and saved some money there also. The price appeared competitive, and the Deal made it better.

It went great. We were informed that the flange should be replaced on the downstairs bathroom. Plastic flange cracked and it moved. On May 5, 2014 they came back to replace flange. Problem with the builders of this home taking short cuts in building the home.The pipe was too short and the flange could not be replaced. We were not charged anything although he tried to fix the problem. His boss was going to come out to access the problem, but my mom realized that we had homeowner's insurance that could be used to pay for fixing the problem. We had to use the the homeowner insurance' contractor.

They were really good. They responded quickly to us. They took a credit card which was nice. They sent the plumber out the next day after we called. They completed the different projects within a few days, but they always sent the same guys which was also nice. I would absolutely hire them again.
Description of Work: They installed a new water heater, moved our toilet, set two new toilets for us, and cleared a drain issue on our washer.

Phillip stayed late to fix the pipe and drainage issue. He checked all pipes for leakage and made sure everything was secure. He took the time to explain everything to my husband and myself. after 4 plus hours of work the bill was the same amount as he quoted before he started the work. He left our townhouse at 7;30 p.m.
Description of Work: Fixed drain in tub/ shower - stop gap was broken in drain and could not be retrieved. Page plumber, Phillip Seilsr, had to cut through ceiling to get to pipe. He replaced the stop gap, cleared the drain and found/replaced a cracked pipe..

We contacted Ace for a video inspection of the rainwater drains in our front yard. The person I talked to on the phone suggested that this was possible. When the technician came and saw the drains he quickly found out out that the pipes were too small for their camera and there was nothing that he could do. Also drain pipes collect more mud which makes it almost impossible to see through the camera. Ace still wanted to charge me the visit. I suppose that had the person on the phone asked a few more questions we may have saved ourselves some money and the hassle of leaving work early to make the appointment. In the end I decided to make some use of the opportunity and do a sewer line inspection so that it will not be a complete waste of time and money. The technical was punctual, professional and courteous. I would hire them again but would be more careful about communication when asking for services.

My kitchen sink faucet suddenly broke down and sprung a major leak the morning before Thanksgiving. With the coming holiday, I was pessimistic that I'd be able to take care of the problem that day. However, when I called Ace they assured me they could fit me in by late afternoon. This gave me time to go to the hardware store for a new fixture. They kept me posted on when they would come, even to my relief arriving earlier than promised. They did a fine job installing the new fixture and a new filter and line for the fridge ice-machine.
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen sink faucet.

I called Ace Plumbing & Rooter in the morning and a few hours later they were on-site to check on, what I suspected, a small gas leak. Sure enough, they found it, gave me a very reasonable estimate, which I accepted, and they fixed it right there and then. They also made sure my water heater and furnace came back on and both of the guys were super nice and professional. I will certainly give these guys a call any time I have any issues with anything within their realm of expertise!

If this was truly a City issue it is unfortunate that we had to call them out and spend the time and money working on it. Although I am just glad everything seems to be working again.
Description of Work: Toilet would not flush, tried to snake the line but was unable to clear anything so they planed to come back the following day to use a water jet. Although when they came back on Sunday everything seemed to be working fine. A Neighbor said he thought a truck was out the night before working on the City main line, the plumber figured the backup was likely coming from what ever they were working on. He did not charge for the work done on the previous day, just a fee for coming out to our location.

I made an appointment on a Sunday for this service with Ace Plumbing and Rooter. After the technician missed the appointment timeframe for this job by about 2 hours, I requested to reschedule the appointment the next day due to a commitment we had in the evening. The second appointment was scheduled in the afternoon (4:30 PM). I left work early to meet the technician at our home. After waiting 90-120 minutes for the technician to arrive, I was told that his previous appointment in San Francisco was taking longer than expected and we would have to reschedule with Ace Plumbing and Rooter again. At this point, I decided to contact another provider who was on-time for the appointment we made for the next day.
Description of Work: We contacted Ace Plumbing and Rooter to unclog a shower stall after it had begun to back up.

First appointment was scheduled for Thurs, Dec 12 and I received a call a few minutes before the scheduled appt that the contracted plumber had been injured and could not come out. I was disappointed, but no concerns. Because of work travel, I called back several days later to reschedule for Monday, Dec 30 at 9am. I actually asked if that day would be an issues because of the holiday week and the scheduler said no, that the plumber for our area was working. Today is the 30th and no one showed. I called around 9:30 and the woman who answered said that the plumber for our area did not have our home on the calendar. She was not apologetic nor did she offer anything when I said I would find another plumbing company.
Description of Work: I called for an appointment Friday, December 6 to have someone come out and take a look at our water heater (area of concern on our home inspection), reasons for our inconsistent hot water supply and a drain in our 2nd bath.
