David handled the entire process from quote to install and subsequent service. He was competent, professional and polite. Bienvenu's pricing was competitive. Dealing with David and Bienvenu could not have been easier. I am very satisfied with the service and the heater.

This company was suggested to me by a neighbor, who is a licensed plumber. I was pleased with the process to set up an appointment, they were very accomodating. The technician called to let me know he was on his way and arrived minutes before the scheduled time. He was in uniform, very professional, and made me feel very comfortable. From the moment I explained what was happening with the unit, he identified the possible cause, and he was correct. He proceeded to dismantle and thoroughly clean the unit, and reassembled it effortlessly. As he worked, he gave me a great deal of information, on the proper use and care of these units, and answered all my questions in detail. Very patient gentleman. He worked so efficiently, I was very impressed. He then tested the unit, which ran like new. He cleaned the work area and the work was done in an hour or so. I will certainly recommend and use this company for any plumbing needs in the future.

Vicky, Liz and Vint (owner) stayed on top my situation. Someone else tried to get us to pay over $3,500 in repair, naturally, I dumped them.. Bienvenu performed the same job for only $10.25. They show up in a huge van that was fully equipped with all the parts and supplies they might need. Highly recommend them.

My husband who met the plumber said he was professional and thorough. However they were not able to determine the problem. His only thought was that maybe the disconnect box could be replaced for one that doesn't have a fuse in it, as it doesn't need to have it. But that's not something Bienvenu was able to help us with. I'm frustrated that we paid nearly $200 for nothing.
Description of Work: Our electric water heater randomly goes out. I was sick of the random ice cold showers and no hot baths. We have to climb into the attic and pull the switch to reset and get it working again. I asked a few times when I scheduled the appointment with Bienvenu if this is something they could handle if it's more of an electrical issue than a plumbing problem.

Extremely well done. The field representative who diagnosed the problem and did the actual work (Dave Braun) was the epitome of friendly efficiency and competence. After the installation, Dave even called the manufacturer to begin the new warranty for us (a necessary task with a time limit that is very easily forgotten by the customer). Considering that it is never fun to replace an appliance, the experience was actually pleasant thanks to Dave and Bienvenu Bros.

Got lucky enough for same day service. This is something I procrastinated on for fear of waiting to schedule and price. I didn't have to wait all day and they unclogged my sink in less than 20 minutes. The service men were friendly and explained what they were doing and tips to prevent future problems, without pushing any products to buy like other companies usually do.

I had an issue on a Thursday after hours so I called first thing on Friday morning. They were able to come out that afternoon and install a new water heater. They showed up on time and cleaned up any mess that was made. I was referred to them by a neighbor and I would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone in a need of a plumber.

It went great, very professional, explained everything good repair work. I would recommend them to everyone. Very pleased with their work!!!
Description of Work: We had a leak in our shower faucet. Another plumber came out and said that we had to remove the tub wall enclosure to be able to fix it. They couldn't do the job until that was done. So we called Bienvenu and they came out at the time they said they would and fixed the leak without removing the wall enclosure in less than an hour.

They were awesome. I had another a/c company come check out the system, and they quoted me $1,500 for a completely different issue. Bienvenu Bros. came out, and that wasn't even the problem - it was a leak in the condenser. The repair man did the work out in the rain, so I wouldn't be without a/c for the evening. They are the best I've found. Highly recommend.

Job took 5 hours with two (2) men working. See above for what provided did. Approximate length of pipes was about 140 linear feet for insulation. Section of water pipes had come loose from straps; re-strapped the pipes to the house and then insulated with foam insulation all the pipes on a two story town house.

Response from Bienvenu Brothers Enterprises, Inc.
Bienvenu Brothers Enterprises would like to thank you for the loyalty you have shown to our firm throughout the years. Many clients bounce from plumber to plumber, always looking for "a better deal." They don’t seem to realize that the best deal entails more than the cost of the service. You, however, have given us the opportunity to get to know you and you have become familiar with our business practices. This has allowed us to tailor all services to your exact needs. To us, that is "the best deal" and we are glad to know you share our views. Again thank you for the many years. We are privileged to be able to provide you with professional plumbing services.

The work was well done; however, I think the cost was a touch too high. I called to get an estimate done, and was told that they do not do free estimates. They have a $50 charge which is credited to the service... or so that is what I understood. A plumber showed up ready to do work, not give an estimate, so I just went ahead and said ok. I got the bill and it seemed a bit expensive (the $50 estimate charge was on the bill.. i suppose it is some kind of minimum service charge). I couldn't compare it to other estimates, because the work was done already. They did a great job. Everything was neat and clean, the plumber was nice and professional. They responded quickly and scheduled the service promptly.

Response from Bienvenu Brothers Enterprises, Inc.
Thank you for taking the time to review us on Angie’s List. In your note, you expressed a concern regarding the price. I have reviewed the invoice and find that the time charged for this service as well as the price is in line. We understand your concern regarding the cost of Professional Service. Customers of the grocer, clothing stores or fast food outlets use these services on a monthly or even weekly basis and are better acquainted with these costs. Generally the average homeowner does not require plumbing services on a regular basis. They may require plumbing service once a year or even less. Sometimes those services seem to cost more than originally predicted and the consumer does not have any idea of how the plumbing contractor arrives at his price. While the amount charged for the work was more than you anticipated, it is important to us that our clients realize and understand what it takes to properly perform this type of work. Since 1937 our family has built a strong clientele in metropolitan New Orleans. This is a result of quality, service, and performance. Many clients would not consider using another company. Bienvenu Brothers Plumbing-Heating-Cooling strives daily to provide you with the best service available. In order to provide quality equipment and installation along with premium service and responsiveness, it is necessary to maintain a certain pricing structure. I do not apologize for our pricing, whether higher or lower than other services. We are certain that cheaper repair services are available, however, in order to accomplish this there will be a sacrifice in quality, responsiveness, and dependability. It has been our experience that “you get what you pay for.” During that time, many “Low Cost Competitors” have come and gone. You have assurance knowing that we guarantee the workmanship of all repairs. We have and will be around to honor those guarantees. Most of the low-cost competition’s work is only as good as their ability to stay in business. I believe that we charge a fair price, which enables us to afford a top-notch team, equip them with the best tools and equipment and provide the type of service our clients deserve. I trust that is the reason why 95% of the service calls we perform daily are clients we have serviced in the past. We appreciate your opinion of our recent service visit. If we expect to continue to serve the community's plumbing, heating, cooling service and remodeling needs, then it is imperative that we receive feedback from valued clients. Again, thank you for allowing us to be of service and for your opinion. We hope you agree that these increased levels of service and warranty come with a value to you and warrant the higher price you may see at another service provider. If you should ever have any questions regarding our service or billing please let us know so we can address your concerns promptly. Our prime objective is Complete Client Satisfaction. Although none of us really looks forward to the next time we need professional services, I hope you give us the privilege of your future business.

The customer service representative who scheduled the appointments was professional and courteous. The technicians arrived on time. I am not sure how to grade the price, but it was within my expectations. The technicians gave us advice on supply stores to use for the new faucets and this advice worked out well. The company was responsive and professional about a correction to the final bill that had to be processed. The amount listed above does not include the purchase of a new shower hardware.
Description of Work: Snaked a drain, repaired two leaky sink faucets, attempted repair on shower faucets. Repairs to the drain and sink faucets were completed successfully. The repairs to the shower faucet did not work and the faucet had to be replaced requiring two more visits.
