Description of Work: They replaced a tankless water heater. The work was great and neat and done in a timely manner. I have a problem with the paperwork. I was billed a flat $2500.00 and when I tried a couple of times to get the office to break it down for me no one seemed to comply.

I called on a Sunday morning. I received a call back within a half hour. I decided that I could live with not having the sink drain repaired that day as there would be an extra charge for their coming over on Sunday. I received a scheduling call from them right at 8:00 am Monday. They said they would be over between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm and would call me an hour before arriving on my cell phone. The GEM plumber called me at 11:15 am and was at my house at 12:15 pm. He was professional and courteous, and I felt the price he charged was fair. I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: The plumber from GEM re-piped the drainage piping at my kitchen sink. The trap had corroded and was leaking badly. The existing installation was of questionable quality, and had caused us grief previously. He also removed an unused water purifier that came with the house, and at his suggestion I agreed to have him replace our ancient garbage disposal. Then I had him fix a three way shower diverter that a previous plumber had installed improperly, and was working improperly for months.

I've worked with this company before, but in the last few years they've really been useless they don't show up, don't call back, don't do what they say they'll do. They came to the house to look it over for the A/C and promised a written estimate the next day. It never happened. I must have called six times to ask them to send it, but they've done work for me before and I figured how hard can a leaky sink be, but they never showed up again despite saying they'd be there in X amount of time. I'm not sure what happened to but they used to be a reliable and professional company.
Description of Work: First, I called about an estimate for an A/C. They were never able to actually send one. Then, I called about a leaky sink. They never showed up, and didn't return my calls. I live less than a mile from them and I won't ever call them again.

Marc, one of the partners in the company, was the person who did the estimates, gave the price quote, and performed the work personally. While the entire work was completed in 2 weeks all in all, we had the a/c installed and running in 2 days after he started, as he promised, while the rest of the finishing touches on the job went on. It's been a month since they did the job, and we're very happy with the results. We recommend him strongly for this type of job.
Description of Work: Replaced central a/c and heating unit with brand new equipment, ducting and venting. Relocated the unit from the old closet room to the attic of our house.

Repair work was unnecesarily stretched out over several days. On the first day, two plumbers arrived to look at the problem and punch out a hole in the wall. They left after 20 minutes and returned several days later to install new fixtures. However, the fixtures were installed incorrectly: hot and cold water handles were loose; water flowed from both the tub and shower spouts when shower handle was turned on; and the tub spout continued to drip water for 15-20 seconds after the water was turned off. This required another visit from another plumber to correct the installation problem, which took about 20 minutes. He indicated that I would not be charged for this work. Another appointment had to be scheduled to do the patch work. Two workers arrived to complete the repair work, which took an hour and was done satisfactorily. All together, 4 appointments had to be set up. The final invoice was not itemized to let me know how much I was charged for the fixtures and for the labor.
Description of Work: Bathtub and shower fixtures were installed in such a way that they were not flush against the tile wall. To avoid breaking the tile, a hole in the wall behind the shower plumbing was punched out to determine if the plumbing between the walls could be pushed forward; it could not. As a result, shower and bathtub fixtures had to be replaced and the hole in the wall patched up.

He was prompt and very knowledgeable. He discussed the type of installation and recommended a particular supplier. He gave me an initial price range for the work and called back quickly w/ a quote. I felt the quote was a little high, so I will get another estimate.

Overall, I was satisfied with the service. The installer arrived on time, very professional, clean, and a very nice guy. However, I felt that the price I paid for the entire service (labor and parts) was too high - even with 3 hours worth of labor at $88 per hour. I wish I had a chance to compare with other service providers in our list.
Description of Work: Replaced leaking water heater with a new one.

Aaron arrived early in the time window for which my job was scheduled. He installed the disposal in under an hour and cleaned up after himself. Very professional all around. Calling a plumber always carries with it some anxiety, but this was a painless experience for me. Would definitely use GEM again.
