Went great. Quick response. Only thing I didn't care for was the fact there was a dispatch fee that did not absorb because I did have services performed. I went with them because they were only people I could get a hold of for a same day job.

The dispatcher was certainly professional, but not engaging. She said the TECH would be out the same day, and Chris was at my home within half an hour! He came in, made a diagnosis, took a short trip to the local supplier, and was done quite quickly. Unfortunately wife had to take over the process since I needed to be in Scott by 4 PM so I had no idea I appreciated the Up-front pricing process and form. I was a little surprised that the payment charge had to be called in as opposed to a swipe on the increasingly ubiquitous iPad or iPhone or Android, but it wasn't an inconvenience. Chris was engaging and the both of us were surprised that the moment he pulled up the city works team pulled up here--unannounced-- trouble shooting a leak between my house and the house next door. They arrived unannounced, left after turning the water off, but Chris circumvented that minor annoyance. After months of waiting for a previous it was refreshing to have the provider come out on the same day--within an hour really--of my first call. Great job.

Poorly. Charged us for nothing. When I called them to come back to fix it, they told me that the person did not do the repair he told us he did. Avoid this company.
Description of Work: Provider tried to sell us a whole new toilet, when all we needed was to stop a leak from the connection to the wall. He made an adjustment to the connection which stopped the problem temporarily, but the problem came back less than a year later.

Response from Ace Plumbing & Electric
In response to the comments made by Mr. [Member Name Removed] Ace Plumbing’s normal dispatch fee for the Lafayette area is $39.00, we explain to our customers over the phone before booking the call that this fee is charged for the technician to come to their home before the technician does any work. This fee covers our technician driving to the home, diagnosing the problem and giving an up-front price to complete the repair. In Mr. [member name removed]’s case, the problem was a small leak on a supply line near the toilet, so in an effort to save the customer money our technician tightened the supply line without charging the customer in addition to the dispatch fee. We refer to this type of service as a “courtesy call” because the job is small enough that it doesn’t warrant additional charges. As far as the new toilet offer stated in the comment, all of our technicians are instructed to show customers a fixture book that shows the fixtures we offer; it is not a ploy to rip-off anyone, it is simply there to show the customer what is available. Finally, the time line of the complaint is odd. The original job was done on 8/5/2014, which is one year and four months prior to this complaint being posted; we give a 3 month warranty on residential repairs, and the work would have still been out of warranty if we charged for it. In closing, Mr. [Member Name Removed] got his problem taken care of for only the price of the dispatch fee, we are not sure what else could be expected for $39.00.

Showed up on time and was friendly and professional. As soon as he found out what he needed to do he gave me a price of what it was going to cost. He explained what the problem was and also what he was going to do to correct it. I would use them again if I had any type of plumbing problems.

Called Monday to inquire about an estimate. Dispatch sent out a technician same day. The technician (Kenneth) was very polite and informative. The plumber who worked on our house when it was being flipped apparently didn't know what they were doing. Kenneth explained that they had installed SINK handles for the tub/shower, tried to modify things by cutting the pipes and didn't assemble the handles themselves properly. Pieces were put in backwards. Kenneth spoke to my husband and went to purchase handles that were appropriate for the tub/shower and matched the nickel finish. He returned within the hour, installed the handles and explained how they should work (turn them both towards the inside). He also let us know where we could special order fancier looking ones that would match our sink hardware. Really impressed with this company and will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Fixed tub/shower handles that were improperly installed and turned 360 degrees.

We called on Thursday afternoon to schedule an appointment. They told me that they would not be working on Friday because it was a holiday (which is understandable) and the earliest they could schedule us in was Monday. I agreed that Monday would work. I also made a point to explain that my job requires me to be away for up to 2 weeks at a time and I would be leaving on Tuesday morning. If for any reason the job extended past Monday I could have someone at the house, but I wanted to be there on the day the plumber arrived. When Monday arrived we did not hear from the plumber. We decided to call in the afternoon to get an update, and hopefully an estimated time of arrival. When we spoke with them they told us that we were not on the schedule, and they did not even know about our job. We were obviously pretty disappointed, but the worst part was it felt like nobody took accountability for the mistake. They simply tried to reschedule us without much of an explanation for what happened. I cannot speak to the quality of their work, because no work was performed. But I was very disappointed with their customer service and professionalism.
Description of Work: Our bathroom drains are backing up. When we take a shower, the toilet gurgles and the separate bath tub fills up. We tried purchasing several products to unclog the drains. However, the products seem to be a temporary fix only. Within a few weeks the problem shows up again. We called the plumber to help us come up with a more permanent solution. We are having several out of town relatives visit in a few weeks, which means the bathrooms will be used much more frequently. We are concerned that they will back up again while our relatives are here.

Response from Ace Plumbing & Electric
In response to review left by Mr. [member name removed], Mr. [member name removed] did contact Ace Plumbing to schedule a service with us, he called in on Thursday afternoon, the day before good Friday. Being that Friday was a holiday Mr. [member name removed] was scheduled for Monday or Tuesday, being that it was a couple of days away, an exact time was not given. When Mr. [member name removed] called in to confirm his appointment Monday morning, our secretary had problems finding him in the computer because on the original phone call his name was accidently spelled "Durel" instead of "[member name removed]" with the same address. At this realization our secretary apologized to Mr. [member name removed] and told him that we would make an opening to get to him Monday after normal Hours and we would only charge regular price. Mr. [member name removed] said that he had plans and hung up. In this case we feel we did everything we could to correct an honest mistake.

I was having issues with my drainage; specifically, when the washing machine would drain, there would be 'gurgling' in the kitchen sink. The Ace Plumbing representative, Kevin, assessed the situation and provided a job cost which I accepted. He then proceeded to snake out the main drain line to clear out any clogs. He cleared out lots of hair and some tiny tree roots. After each time, he ran the washing machine to see if the problem had been cleared. Even after clearing the clogs, the gurgling problem was still occurring. He checked the area where my septic tank is and observed that the washing machine drain water was pooling up in that area. He recommended that I contact a company to pump out the septic tank. Kevin was absolutely wonderful! Because his efforts were unable to correct the situation, he generously cut the job cost in half. Although it was not necessary because I felt his efforts were well worth the original quote, his cutting the charge in half went above and beyond what I already considered to be excellent customer service. I've used many plumbers over the years and I will say that my experience with Ace was the most positive I've had. I feel very comfortable trusting any of their representatives with my plumbing needs. I will definitely use them again when the need arises.

I was sold a new hot water heater. They installed it and left. I didn't have any hot water. They came back and about an hour and half later told me my breaker was bad. I had an old hot water heater but I feel they sold me something I may not have needed. I'm a single woman and I felt like they took advantage. The company was non-responsive to my request to call me back. On Friday evening after spending $1200 on a new hot water heater I had to call an electrician to come out and replace my breaker (another $150) so I could have hot water. They should have checked the electric first. They said they could check to see in the shop if it was an electrical problem but when I called on Monday they said they no longer had the heater and they would have recommended changing out the heater anyway because it was over 12 years old. This was little comfort to me and my credit card.

Response from Ace Plumbing & Electric
In response to the review submitted by [member name removed] on 8/5/2014. Ace Plumbing did go to [member name removed]'s home to look at her water heater. Upon arrival, we found that the water heater had a leak at the bottom and was very old (manufacturer date was 12/1991). The water heater was also hard-wired with a timer in line. After looking over the water heater the technician checked the incoming power and it showed that it had power. He then proceeded to check the remainder of the water heater parts and found that the elements were okay. He then went and told the customer that he couldn’t find anything wrong with the heater, aside from the leak at the bottom; he told her that she could get an electrician to make sure the timer in the electrical line was good. She was also given the option of changing out the water heater, since it was 20+ years old, and we always recommend changing out a water heater once they pass 12-15 years old. She chose to sign off on the new water heater which she knew the price of upfront, and the technician installed it. Once the technician was done, he checked the new heater and it was working and heating up, so he left. Later that day, [member name removed] called back and said she had no hot water. The technician went back and found that the breaker had tripped and would not turn back on. [member name removed] was then told an electrician would be needed to change the breaker, which he did and it worked. When [member name removed] called in her complaint, she refused to talk to anyone but the owner. The owner was not in at the time and she was told that he would call her as soon he got to the office. When the owner called [member name removed] back, he told her he would get some answers for her and she told him that no matter what he told her, she would not believe him anyway. We cannot help someone who believes nothing we say. We feel that due to the age of the water heater and the leak at the bottom, the water heater did need to be changed, with that being said, [member name removed] was given the option to change it. She was not forced to sign off on changing the water heater.

This was the fourth visit for a shower leak that started months ago. Another plumber did a terrible job of not fixing leak. Ace explained why they could not have fixed what they said they did. It was a multiple step process of tearing out shower walls, disconnecting faucets, fixing leaks, jack hammering foundation to fix the pea trap leak, then re-installing new pipes, etc. Another person put the faucet back on after the marble was reapplied. The leak was due to the inner parts being old. So when Ace came again to fix this, he also left to go get a new piece and came back and fixed it. We are very pleased with their level of service, professionalism, and pricing. We did join their Ace club which gives you a discounted rate, immediate service for emergency (which I needed) and a once-a-year plumbing inspection of the home. Highly recommend them!

Work done on my parent's washing machine by a service person from Lowe's was done incorrectly: The washing's machine's COLD water dial was sending HOT water into the machine, and vice versus. Additionally, water in pipes installed by a supposedly licensed plumber was backing up. I called Ace Plumbing to rectify this situation and to check some other work. They came the same day, and the call was at no cost to my parents because I had previously signed them up for a special program Ace offers - for a small monthly fee, customers on this program receive expedited service and other perks. Work that would normally have rendered a bill that would have cost $240 was $0.00! Needless to say, both my parents and me were extremely pleased. Kayla, the dispatcher, takes ownership of the call and understands the customer's urgency. When I told her my parents were elderly and this problem was making them fret, she told me to not worry and that she would have a plumber to them ASAP. She kept her word and I'm extremely appreciative.

My bathtub faucet was running even when the shower was on. I researched the problem and knew the shower diverter needed replacing. A young guy came out and within a few minutes said that, because the seals and washers looked good, it must be an internal problem, and I needed to replace the whole 3 faucet assembly and he happened to have one in his truck for $300. Then he spent most of his time on the phone with the office getting a quote of how much to charge me, which ended up being outrageous. I told him I'd buy my own faucet (which were $59 at Home Depot) and would call back when I had it. After he left I found half a broken washer on the side of the tub, so obvious he lied about the seals not being the problem. My husband took out the diverter and I went to Home Depot and bought a new one for $12. My husband put it in and the problem was fixed in 2 minutes. I sent Ace an email about my experience and dissatisfaction and I never got a reply from them.

Response from Ace Plumbing & Electric
In response to [member name removed] complaint. Our technician went out and found the 3 handle faucet to be malfunctioning. He gave a price to change entire faucet which is the proper way to fix problem. The customer refused the price which included a 5 year warranty parts and labor and decided to repair w/diverter only themselves, which is a temporary fix. The 3 handle shower faucet is still not working properly. The reason Ace did not give a price to replace diverter only, is because we warranty al our work and do not like doing a temporary fix. The price the customer was given was a long term solution. Customer was only charged for a dispatch fee of $39.00.
