Description of Work: They charge $60 to come out and give you an estimate . I asked for a flat rate estimate and was told they didn't do that . When the technician came to my house he took out a flat rate manual and gave me a price from it for $600. I had the work done by another plumber for $250.

electrician
 + -1 moreTold me that my electric was just fine after another company had told me to replace, so save me hundreds. Assured me gas had been turned off to outdoor light that no longer worked. Replaced broken outdoor pipe and installed a shutoff valve in the basement to avoid freezing in winter. Told me the parts I needed so they could hang a light fixture. Told me the type of sinks I need for replacement.
Description of Work: Fixed broken pipe and made it safe for winter. Evaluated future projects.

plumbing
 + -1 moreThe plumber was very helpful with different scenarios that we could do. He was also helpful with other companies that may do a service they didn't do. He was always on time and very professional.
Description of Work: Able Plumbing came out to fix a water line that ran from the meter to my house. They had to run all new piping to minimize property damage to the driveway. The job took longer than orginally thought, but no fault to the plumbers. It was all weather related.

plumbing
 + -1 moreWhen I called I was told it would be $69 for the trip and they would let me know the total cost upon arrival. The worker arrived promptly and informed me the labor fee would be over $500 (I'm not kidding!) plus the cost of a permit! He also confirmed the job would take no more than an hour or less. Needless to say, I wrote them a check for $69 and sent them on their way with a promise that I would do all I could to prevent anyone else from being victimized by their obviously crooked business.
Description of Work: I needed a very simple replacement installation of a residential electric water heater. I already had it drained, it was in a walk out basement, all that was required was a simple disconnect and reconnect. Couldn't have been simpler or easier. I had the replacement water heater on hand.

electrician
 + -1 moreGreat. No problems or issues with company or service guy (Terry).
Description of Work: I just moved into the house last week. My washer and dryer needed to be hooked up. For the dryer - I bought a 3 prong cord - the cord needed to be put on and the old one taken off as the old plug was not compatible with the plug in the house. The washer was hooked up with no problems. I will be using this company in the future to install ceiling fans in the house. Great Service!!

electrician, plumbing
 + 0 moreI was very impressed with the professionalism, of both the office staff and the guys who came out to do the work. They explained everything quite fully, and also explained all the options, the pros and cons of both. Very pleasant and cooperative fellows - at my request the plumber even came back in after the job was finished and paid for and spent another 20 minutes or so trying to level my elderly father's toilet (that was installed incorrectly by the original "plumber") at no extra charge. I am very pleased with the experience so far. after searching for a decent plumber and electrician for a while, realizing the idiots that built my house were NOT going to fill that bill- I hope I have found a company that I will feel comfortable doing repeat business with.
Description of Work: toilets wouldn't flush, shower and drains backed up. I was afraid the septic tank needed pumping. called the plumber first so I could confirm if I needed to call a septic company or not. He found the tank completely full and at first was afraid I'd have to have it pumped, but after a little while he was able to snake out the all the pipes, and clean out the septic filter which enabled the tank to drain properly. told me I didn't need to have the tank pumped after all. yippee. also asked for an electrician to check out repairing electric line to my barn. he came out at the same time in a different truck. he gave me a couple of options after looking over the situation, and told me they'd get an estimate to me later since they had to price wire, etc. didn't charge me for the visit. again yippee they have since started on the repair but have not finished. have to wait until the rain stops.

electrician
 + -1 moreThey came quickly and completed the work in one afternoon. The work was done professionally. The problem was with the charges. There was no estimate given before the work was done. Insurance paid the bill, but I feel Able Construction greatly overcharged for the work. The charges for parts were acceptable but the labor charge amounted to apx. $400.00 per hour! I called and complained to Ross Web himself and he said they use a book that has standard fees that they use to a**** the charges and there was nothing they could do about the bill. I don't care what kind of book they use, $400.00 an hour is outrageous!
Description of Work: A tree fell and pulled my electrical wire away from the house. Able reattached the wire. It was called a "weatherhead replacement."

electrician, plumbing
 + 0 moreJob was handled well and professionally overall. One quibble would be that the trench was not backfilled evenly; I had to wait for a couple of rains to settle the dirt, then shovel the high spots over to low spots myself. The trench had to curve to skirt the edge of a large septic field, but they did the digging with a large backhoe without damaging any of the lines in the septic field or affecting its operation. They provided a frost proof faucet for the new hose bib without my having to ask for it. An unnecessary S-curve in the shop end of the conduit made it harder to pull my communication lines through, but I was able to do it. They also do electrical work, which I have also found satisfactory on a separate job.
Description of Work: Added another hose bib to the outside of the house. Brought water to an outlying shop building by running a new buried water line from the house through an approximately 65-foot trench, about 18 inches deep, capping the new line with a valve and stub pipe ready for me to add my own plumbing lines in the shop. Though not really plumbing work, they readily agreed to add a 1 1/2" conduit in the trench, complete with two pull strings and one pull wire, for me to run my own communications lines between the house and shop building.
