I can't say because as I was told my job could not be estimated I decided not to go with this company. I joined Angies list because I too have a hot water pipe leak under my slab & wanted my pipes rerouted through the ceiling by someone I could trust. After reading all the reviews for this company it sounded great but the receptionest didnt seem to quite understand what I needed done, I could have been at fault there too, perhaps I did not explain myself correctly . She did take details & did phone me back very quickly saying the process was that the company would come out & search for leaks with a leak detector first with a flat rate of $250 & then fix the problem at a rate of $85 or $89 per hour (sorry can't remember which) but, & this was a big but for me, absolutely NO estimate could be given for the work that I needed to be done! I have no insurance that would cover this so I absolutely need some kind of estimate & really can't understand why it would be so difficult to get one. Maybe this company is great as so many others have said but they sure do not give estimates as stated. Decided to go with another company who has set up an appointment with a leak detection service for this Thursday & when those results are found I am hopefully going to get an estimate of how much the work will cost. I will report back further when I am at the next stage.
Description of Work: No services were performed because no estimate could be given.

Response from Al Bourgeois Plumbing & Heating
We obviously did not comunicate very well with this customer. It appears she has agreed to have a plumbing company come out with a leak detection company to determine the location of her water leak. I have to assume the leak detector will charge for that service. This is precisely what we proposed to her. We can estimate the repair only after we have determined the source of the problem. Unfortunately there is no set amount for the actual repair as every one can be different. I do pride myself in performing these jobs at very reasonable costs to the customer as we handle detecting the leak and replacing the lines as needed. We perform the work quickly and leave the customer with as little inconvenience and disruption as possible. I regret any inconvenience we may have caused this customer.

We were very happy with the service and professionalism of Bourgeois Plumbing. Chris and Greg worked on most of the job. We may have been a bit of a challenge. We wanted a loft style look with interior exposed pipes that were a bit unusual. We also purchased Euro style toilets that were not an ordinary installation. Bourgeois happily and professionally took on the challenge with beautiful results.
Description of Work: Over the course of about 12 months, we did a complete gut renovation of a 1200 sq, ft. home. It had been untouched for five years since Katrina. All of the plumbing needed to be replaced. We also moved the washer and dryer hook ups to a different location. The price included the purchase and installation of a gas tankless hot water heater.

Their office/phone response was polite, well informed, and effective. They came out promptly when promised. Their presentation was extremely polite and professional. Their work was excellent. Their bill is appropriate for professional services, which means it does sting a bit, but it's fair.
Description of Work: Several occasions. They installed a new shower set, including removal of tiles to insert the new plumbing fixtures. They investigated poor performance of an on-demand water heater. Can't remember the other one.

This is an old house which had an old swear line which got broken. Unlike another company I called who did not bother with it and got back into their truck and left Al Bourgeois came out looked at it, and did a thorough inspection. They could not locate it for the first time. Then they told me what the problem was and told me what it could run up to or it could be a little more or less. They broke off the concrete and had to run a sewer line from the house to the street. They also placed a new clean up base flap valve. Mine did not even one so he must have guessed how old it was. So they put one of those also. They did a real good job. They explained everything. Price wise it was not high when compared to the work they did. I will use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Al Bourgeois Plumbing & Heating around end of August to fix a broken sewer line and there was a backup. I spent $4000 for the work.

I knew I had problems. I turned the water off everytime I left the house. ( I use the house on weekends as a fishing camp and a get away spot.) After I bought the ice machine I had to get the plumbing repaired or risk damage to an expensive ice machine. Kenny, the plumber, immediately spotted 3 leaks. When I left him to go back to work that # was up to 9. He pulled 5 different types of plumbing from the house where the people before me had done there crazy patch work. He repleced everthing with the original material - copper. It's expensive, but it was the right thing to do. I don't plan on selling the house. I was quite happy.
Description of Work: Installed commercial grade ice machine at my Barataria home. Complete replacement of pluming lines under the house (house is raised). Repair of drain lines.

Great job! I was very happy from my initial phone conversation to the completion of the work. Every I spoke with and dealt with was professional and clearly understood our needs.
Description of Work: I used Al Borgeois for a variety of plumbing repairs and the replacement of water main lines in a home that we have recently purchased. They answered the phone when I initially called (unlike most other companies) and were able to schedule someone to come out that day. The plumber arrived earlier than scheduled! As I showed him the scope of work and described our future plans for the house, he did not try to up sell and was able to come up with cost effective solutions for my needs. The repairs were done over the next few days, in a timely manner with very nice service professionals. And the price was reasonable.

Thank you for the kind words. We mean it when we say we are "CUSTOMER SERVICE" professionals. Our customers are our business. I feel very fortunate in the tough economic times we are experiencing right now, that I can keep my men working every day. They understand how important that is so they treat every customer like that may be their last customer. Thanks again for you business and for your kind comments. If i can ever personally do anything for you, please do not hesitate to call on me. Carl Bourgeois

It went fine overall. This is a part-time residence, so I was in no rush for their services. I would expect them to be responsive in a pinch, however. A bit more professionalism would be appreciated, but I know that service professionals are very hard to come by in New Orleans, for some reason. Anyway, they showed up on time and were in and out very quickly. My job was quite small in scope, but I would use them again if any bigger needs arise in the future.
Description of Work: Service Call to fix leaking shower fixture. Had to be called out again for re-adjustment - no charge for repeat. Overall, I would use their services again.

They are probably the only plumber we will call in the future,
Description of Work: We thought we had a drain problem. One of our toilets kept over-flowing . Thought we had a stoppage of some sort. Bourgeois came and looked at the situation and said it wasn't a drain problem it was the toilet itself. This is the second time we have called upon them and the are punctual and we believe very honest.

I had a specific problem and no one was able to fix. The plumber did a couple of things in my house. He put in some other stuff too. He fixed the problem that no one else seemed to have fixed and did a good job. I had that problem for many years. The other plumber told me that it couldn?t be fixed. They fixed something that I was told had to taken out. It also changed the system I had, which obviously no one took the time to really evaluate it and to figure it out. I was very happy with him. He was very professional. The price was reasonable and it wasn?t out of the ordinary. I was very much pleased with the price. They are very good once you establish yourself with them. They don?t run away once you have used them and when you call them back. I highly recommend them. The price was fine and competitive. There are a lot of people who would complain that they are more expensive than cheaper plumbers. However, the service provided by Al Bourgeois Plumbing & Heating was more effective and they could do the job. You get what you pay for. Their quality is fine. They are very conscientious. I would use their services in the future too.

I am unable to identify the member or the job we did for him. As he has an out of town address i assume it may be a job completed at a local address and possibly under another name. I do appreciate the nice comments. We pride ourselves in being "repairmen". it is easy to say replace it but in many cases that is not in the best interest of the customer. Please accept my thanks for patronizing my business and the nice comments regarding my service. Sincerely, Carl Bourgeois
