It was not a professional or trustworthy report that he gave. I would never trust one person who said that the walls had to be broken into before calling another plumber, regardless of that company's rating.
Description of Work: Our experience with Fettes was not good. The plumber disconnected something in the wall and then left saying that we had to cut open the walls to get to the problem. Whatever he disconnected caused huge amounts of gunk to splatter all over the bathroom. The owner called them and did tell them about the mess, but we never heard from them again. They are off our list.

Excellent communication. Due to a scheduling foul up the plumber who was originally to come never made it. I checked in with FS&L and they explained what happened and were in constant contact thereafter. Our man arrived and now we can shower again!

They were able to do the work right away. The plumber arrived early, and explained what was involved. There were a couple of small problems that we were able to overcome. The work was finished on time and they look great. They did the work for the agreed upon price.

I called on Monday and was told someone could be here Thursday morning. he arrived on time, told me what he was doing while he was working, finished the work (about 3 hours) and left a tidy room when he was finished. He also looked at our water heaters, gave us a lot of information about them, and sent bids for installations of two options.
Description of Work: Water was trickling out of the bathroom faucet; it had worked poorly since it was installed by the bathroom remodelers and they were unable to fix it. Two other plumbers had looked at the faucet and failed to fix it (I should have gone to Angie's List in the first place!) The Fettes plumber tried to fix the faucet without taking it apart. However he did have to dismantle it to clean pipe dope from the spout and repair the washer connection. I now have lots of water!

The person who I booked the job with was very pleasant and the job was done the same day. However, the plumber that came to the job was pretty gruff, he actually made my wife pretty nervous. He made some odd remarks about our dogs. The work was done well, but the experience with the plumber was pretty uncomfortable. The cost was also quite high. To cap a pipe in 15 minutes it was $150.

Art, their obscure toilet specialist came in, wrestled with getting the toilet in for a while, and finally did it. He tested it a bunch and found no leaks. After running water upstairs for a few days, though, I noticed drips. They sent Art back out immediately. He was prompt, professional, and a good sport. He pointed out, that if he tightened the bolts that fasten the toilet to the wall too tightly, the toilet could crack. Instead, the best thing to do, is tighten as much as possible and caulk. He tightened the bolts a tiny bit, & caulked. I still had minor dripping, which I fixed myself with a handful of plumber's putty. I've used these guys several times and I'll always use them for plumbing jobs, I can't do myself. Downsides to this experience. The initial installation of this toilet was a beast. A couple of my floor tiles were cracked in the process. Under the toilet, no big deal. I wonder why it was not a 2 man job.
Description of Work: Provided & installed a new wall mounted toilet, on a very old pipe in my basement.

water heater repair

Overall I was pleased. Whether over the phone, or in person their communications were clear and friendly. They were punctual. On the dot. They were able to arrive both times at 7:30 AM. Per my request. They cleaned up well when they finished. The plumbing in my condo now works well.
Description of Work: The flow from faucet spouts had diminished. FLS plumber discovered detritus in the spouts and flushed this out. He stated that this was caused by the deterioration of the insulation of the water heater. This made sense. When our condo building was converted 10 years ago the same water heater was installed in all of the units. In the last 2 years, the majority of these heaters have broken down. I asked for an estimate to replace the heater, their quote seemed to be in line with my comparisons to others who had purchased new heaters. I instructed them to install it. They were able to do this in 2 business days. The work was done to my satisfaction. The $900 reflects two visits. The first to clean the lines and detect the need for a new heater. The second to install the new heater, remove the old one and clean out the water lines again.

The plumber arrived and was very friendly. He looked at the water stain and told me that the toilet had to probably be reset. That's what the person told me on the phone when I arranged the appointment as well. He looked at the toilet, inspected how it was set, and did indeed see that it was loose. He reset the toilet, fixing problems that were apparent from the builder and original toilet setting. (I.E, cut bolts that were too big, and removed the wax ring and other debris.) He worked quickly, efficiently, cleanly, and quietly; taking extra care not to wake up my napping son. He was finished in exactly an hour. We will definitely use them again; if we need a plumber.
Description of Work: The plumber came out to look at the toilet which appeared to be leaking through the floor onto the ceiling on the lower level.

While the job they performed was satisfactory, if not a bit pricey, they quoted us for a few extra jobs at quite a steep price, including the replacement of the water meter, which they said was too small for our system. Since meters are supplied by the city, I called them, and they sent a city worker out who looked at me like I was crazy and couldn't figure out what the plumber had been complaining about. Regarding another problem they said needed addressing, we consulted with a different plumber, and after carefully consulting the water heater installation instructions, they found nothing in need of changing. The final job they'd quoted, we had someone else do for much cheaper.
Description of Work: They cleared and cleaned a malfunctioning sump pump.

It took 4 days for them to come out, which was OK. We didn't want to pay a higher price for an emergency call since we have another bathroom. He did repair the toilet and checked the dishwasher (which was fine). One problem was that there were still stains of blue water from the toilet tank on the bathroom floor after he left. Also, we did not receive an estimate or a bill that day, and were told we would receive a bill in the mail. It arrived 10 days later and just gave us the amount owed rather than breaking it down. Another issue was that he did not replace the trim on the front of the dishwasher. Overall, I don't think I would use them again.
Description of Work: Came in and replaced a leaking valve in a toilet. Also checked the connections on the dishwasher.

I was in a bind as a previous contractor had walked away from the project half completed and poorly done. As a result Fettes Love and Sieben provided a quote to include potential rework which was quickly provided. Chose them based on their quote and reputation. They made helpful, valuable suggestions during the project. Quality work, their one oversight was quickly remedied.

The plumber came late but in the time window they gave me and did the work as asked. The price at $125.00/20 minutes would put them at about $500.00/hour, you tell me if that sounds about right?

Response from Fettes Love & Sieben Inc
INVOICE REFLECTED ONE HOUR MINIMUM SERVICE CHARGE. MEMBER DID NOT MENTION ANGIE'S LIST NOR SEND IN 10% COUPON WHICH WOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM $13.00 OFF SERVICE CALL. THE ACTUAL WORK MAY HAVE ONLY TAKEN 20 MINUTES, BUT THE TIME ON JOB WAS 33 MINUTES WHICH WOULD INCLUDE SETTING UP AND GETTING EQUIPMENT IN AND OUT OF HOUSE.

It was a pleasure to work with John, the Angie's List contact at Fettes. He was able to get me an appointment on the date that I requested, was quite personable and on the day of the appointment, was kind enough to contact me about sending someone over earlier in the day than we had originally discussed. "Fred" the plumber, was quite nice as well. He didn't seem to be in a rush to get the job done, returning to his truck on several occasions for parts and taking a while to do so, but as I had taken the day off to take delivery on furniture and appliances and as they bill by the job rather than the time, I didn't mind. He was kind enough to clean up after himself, mopping up any water and throwing out any used parts. When I had to leave to meet a delivery downstairs just as he was finishing up, he called from his truck shortly after to make sure that I was happy with his work and that no one else had gone into my unlocked condo between when he had left and I had returned.
Description of Work: They repaired two leaking toilets yesterday. I had just purchased my condo and within days found one of my toilets was leaking from the tank and the other did not seem to be properly bolted to the floor. In the first case, both bolts and washers affixing the tank to the rest of the toilet needed to be and were replaced. (Fred, the plumber, originally tried just tightening the existing bolts, but while he was working on the second toilet, I checked the first and found that the leak had merely slowed rather than been completely stopped.) In the latter case, while inspecting the base of the toilet, Fred found that the water line had an intermittent drip. He repaired that for me as well. Fettes invoices for their services and any parts used, so I can't yet comment on their pricing. I will have to say that, having just purchased my condo, it was nice not having to immediately shell out money for what were essentially emergency repairs (aka unplanned-for-expenses).

Everyone we encountered was very throrough, knowledgeable and polite. Most importantly, we had a recurring problem with our slow drain, which resulted in further damage. When visiting guests removed the stopper to let water drain, additional damage was incurred when pieces fell into the sink. When we called the company back, they made good on their work and did not impose any further cost to us for the additional problems. The customer service was excellent. They made good on their work!
Description of Work: The company performed various tasks in our unit as well as in the condo unit above us. These items included: Leak coming through our ceiling from the bathroom in the unit above ours, fixing a leak from one of our sinks into the cabinet below, repair of a slow drain problem in our bathroom.

They were prompt in getting back to me, thorough in the work, friendly and explained everything. The office was great in scheduling both people to come at once (plumbing/heat were different specialties) for our convenience. We had to have Bob (the plumber) come back 2 weeks later to re-fix the shower faucet seal, but that was due to the existing faucet, not the previous work. Cost for the return trip not included in this price.
Description of Work: Inspected upstairs tub for leaks (found none - it's the seal around the tub, which saves us lots of $$ to fix), removed rust from tub faucet & stopped drip, stopped drips on 2 bathroom sinks, repaired seal in shower faucet, inspected water heater. We also had a 2nd guy come at the same time for heat/gas: inspected and oiled boiler and motor, changed gas dryer hookup. Also provided an estimate for what it would cost to replace our 15 year old water heater and change out 1/2'' pipes for 3/4'' pipes. That cost was very reasonable.

The representative that arrived was prompt, professional and did the work on a timely basis. He removed his shoes upon walking into the house and cleaned up after himself. When he was done, he explained what had been blocking the drain and what he found in the main line and gave advice on how to avoid blockages in the future. I thought they did a great job and will definitely use them again.
