Simply impressed! Aim to Please called to inform that the Service Agent (Ryan) would be arriving at a specific time. Given delay at a current task, the company called again and asked if it was okay for the agent to be delayed another 20 minutes. I concurred - the Service Agent ultimately arrived within the window anticipated by the company. Ryan was extremely courteous; his professional demeanor was impressive; and it was obvious that he was well trained in his trade. While repairing my ruptured piping, he took the time to explain what he was doing and how the repair would be accomplished. In the end, the repair was accomplished as expected. The area inside and outside my home where repairs were effected, was spotless upon completion of the repair. I've been on the receiving end of professional plumbing services many times over the course of the past 25+ years - no one can hold a candle to "Aim to Please Plumbing & Electric"!! Many thanks to Angie's List for the recommendation and my "hat's off" to Aim to Please Plumbing & Electric for solid professional services!!!/J.T. Manning
Description of Work: Aim to Please replaced a Freeze Free faucet (still c***) and also assisted in helping locate the Water Main for my residence.

Ryan arrived at the door approximately five minutes passed the appointment time, which was fine as I was running a little late and this was not a problem at all. When he came to the door and came in, before I knew it, his shoes were off as I took him to the bathroom where the faucet needed to be replaced. After showing him an alternate way to the driveway (through our garage)(, Ryan immediately got his shoes and proceeded to work. I was able to work on personal business a half floor below without feeling as if I needed to keep an eye on Ryan and his work. He accomplished a difficult job without any problem or damage and I was very pleased with the work. Also, as the owner of two dogs, Ryan learned their names, mentioned he had a dog of his own, and although the dogs were locked downstairs with me, their presence did not bother Ryan at all. I have had other contractor and service/repair people come to the house to work on larger and smaller projects and the workers a lot of times would be of a questionable character, so I was very happy that Ryan presented himself as a clean, intelligent, and thoroughly trustworthy person. It is said that one makes an opinion of a person within the first five seconds and Ryan had to have been the cleanest person to come to my house to do repair/maintenance work!
Description of Work: Had a self=purchased bathroom faucet installed. The space between the wall and the back of the sink was too tight for me or anyone I knew to install the faucet and I had heard on CNN that to install a bathroom faucet in a situation such as ours that it was best to call a professional plumber. I selected Aim to Please and was extremely happy with the plumber, Ryan, that was sent to do the work. He was very efficient and installed the faucet and new feeds, which is something that I probably would not have done and then wonder why there were leaks developing in places other than the new faucet. The price was a bit more than I was expecting; however, it has been a long time since I had made use of a plumber and, to tell you the truth, the cost was worth the headache I would've had if I had installed the faucet myself.. My history with self-plumbing typically results in a call to a plumber to rescue me. Ryan was extremely pleasant and even gave me some advice that I was wondering about on further improvements/remodels that I knew would be in our future. I highly recommend Aim to Please and, especially Ryan, if you ever need plumbing done.

Called in the morning, came in the afternoon when they said they would be here.
Description of Work: The kitchen sinks were backing up and he fixed it very quickly. I told that the disposal sometimes backs up into the dishwasher. Ryan checked the pipes and unscrewed it , and screwed so that the disposal will not back up into the dishwasher. It took a minute to do it, and saved me the worry of it happening again. Thanks for a job well done. Pleasant people, prompt service and they were here when they said they would be. I've used this company for a long time and I give it an A+.

I appreciated that he explained clearly the problem with old galvanized and copper pipes, and was honest and kind about the options for replumbing the house. Ryan was on time for the appointment, polite, professional, and clear in his assessment. This is the second time we have used Aim to Please and both times, I have been impressed with their professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Aim to Please to anyone in need of plumbing expertise. In fact, when we need electrical work, I will call them.
Description of Work: Ryan came to inspect the outdoor hose bib because there is not enough water pressure to use the hose. He checked the lines from the hose connection on the house to the street. He also looked at the pipes under the house and determined that they need to be replaced, and that in fact, the problem with the hose outside was related to the deterioration of the water pipes for the whole house.

Installed two natural gas lines (line for dryer, and outdoor gas grill), then replaced a on/off switch for a jetted tub. Came out on a Wednesday, returned on Friday and had everything completed. I was hesitant to use them primarily because of the price (their price to instal the gas lines was very high) however didn't have time to get multiple quotes, and just had a relatively poor experience with another company that never did follow through. Everything went very well. They are responsive, punctual, and professional. No issues with the quality of the work. This is your classic example of you get what you pay for.

We have worked with Aim to Please several times in the past few years and have always been happy with their service and expertise. Today, the crew was Ryan and Nathan. They arrived exactly on time and set right to work. The cold water hose to our washing machine has been fused to the faucet for many years and I was growing concerned that it might eventually deteriorate and burst. I explained the problem to Ryan and Nathan and they described what they would probably have to do to fix it. They fixed the problem within an hour and were extremely courteous and professional the entire time. My husband and I have also had visits in the past from both Alan and Malachi. Everyone who works there is top-notch. I'm happy to have found plumbers who will do small jobs (unclogging drains) and electrical jobs too. Highly recommended.

Excellent service, support, and advice from Nathan and Ryan. I had to ask for specific time frame, they were very punctual, pleasant, very professional, and left shoes at front door. Quickly made repairs, dealt with my impromptu requests, provided maintainence education, and answered all of my questions. No attempt to 'up sell'. I thought the price was fair for the work accomplished and I gladly recommend them and will use them again. It appears that others on Angie's list have same opinion - I am very relieved to have found reliable plumbers.

This is the second or third time we have used him and he has shown up thinking he is going to do something other than what we have called the office for. The person in the office missed the whole part about fans. A year ago he showed up so I could get him to do a bid for some work and he thought he was there to do the work, so he was all bent out of shape.
Description of Work: They did some electrical work- they put up some fans and ran some wire for a new light.

Response from Aim To Please Plumbing & Electric
Thank you for the input. We all rely on real, honest postings. As school teachers vary in their gradings, so do the individual clients. Apparently the scheduler hadn't space enough on the pad to write all the things we were to do that day. There have been a few hitches, none serious, since our regular scheduler went into semi-retirement and cut back to one day a week. The new scheduler is getting up to speed rather well. Thank you all for your patience. A new "problem" recently is our occasionally running ahead of schedule during the day. We try to call ahead to get permission to come early, but sometimes we just take that time in the client's drive to clean out the truck :) Thank you for saying you are a repeat client. Let's keep it up!

I'm satisfied with them. They are honest and they do a good job. Sometimes they are a little more pricey than I would have expected but they are reasonable. I would have appreciated a call beforehand as to what the price was going to be prior to the work being done.

After reading other reviews here, I expected good service. I was not disappointed! Appointment was at 3:00. I hurried to be ready by 2:30, then sat down to wait, expecting them to arrive sometime before 3:30. The doorbell rang at 3:00 on the dot. Malachi and Nathan were friendly and professional. They came in, leaving their shoes at the door, and got right to work, doing an excellent job. They did not try to up-sell me on anything, but alerted me to small problems I should watch. Examples: "Your garbage disposal has a lot of rust on it; it's nearing the end of its life." "The cold-water shutoff under your sink doesn't shut off completely. No problem, we usually turn the water off at the street anyway." They left the area spotless. I love my new faucet. I will definitely use this company again.

I cant really remember the exact date; however, I believe it was about 1 year ago. Either way, I recently had a very bad experience with Weddle Plumbing which prompted me to ask my wife who the plumbing company was that came out for our water main. She said it was Aim to Please and I am very sorry I forgot when I recently hired Weddle for some plumbing work. Either way, I will never forget again. Aim TO Please is at the top of my contractor list from now on. I came home from vacation and my landscaping appeared to look like a small pond in my front yard. I found water bubbling up by the water main. Our Utility company refused to do anything so I called AIm To Please on a whim and they responded with in 4 hours to get my house water back on. I own a small business as well and I had to get to work so I could not be home. I believe they brought out a backhoe to dig to the water main. They had it fixed really fast and called me to let me know. Even better was that they trusted me to pay my bill through paypal. The lady at the office was very polite and helpful. Truly an amazing company in a time when customer service and lack of knowledge is an epedemic in so many service companies.
