 + -1 moreJIM SEEMS TO BE VERY BUSY. IT WAS A BIT DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HIM AND HE HAD TO RESCHEDULE THE JOB ONCE WHICH CAUSED US A MINOR PROBLEM WITH THE REST OF THE PROJECT. JIM IS VERY POLITE. JOB IS DONE VERY PROFESSIONALLY (AS FAR AS I CAN JUDGE). IT TURNED OUT THAT THE SINK GOT INSTALLED TOO CLOSE TO THE WALL AND JIM MOVED IT (WHICH INCLUDED RE-ROUTING OF SEVERAL PIPES) WITHOUT CHARGING US. HE WAS REFERRED TO US BY PRIMARY CONTRACTOR AND WE DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER PRICE ESTIMATES, SO IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY HOW IT WAS PRICED. SEEMS REASONABLE TO ME, THOUGH.
Description of Work: INSTALLED UTILITY SINK IN THE BASEMENT. CONNECTED IT TO NEARBY HOT AND COLD WATER PIPES, DRAIN, AND VENT. REROUTED FIVE HEATER PIPES AROUND FURNACE.

 + -1 moreJIM RETURNED MY CALL PROMPTLY AND CAME BY TO GIVE ME AN INITIAL IDEA OF WHAT HE COULD DO TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK SINCE. THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLY APPARENT. HE RETURNED AND DID SOME SIMPLE TESTS TO AVOID OPENING UP THE CEILING AND WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE WATER WAS INFILTRATING CRACKED TILES UNDER A MARBLE LEDGE, WHERE GROUT HAD ALSO COME OUT. HE ALSO SEALED AROUND THE SHOWER DIAL TO FILL GAPS THAT COULD EVENTUALLY BE A PROBLEM. I WILL DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN AND I THOUGHT HIS RATE WAS WITHIN REASON FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME HE SPENT.
Description of Work: INVESTIGATED LEAK IN 2ND FLOOR BATHROOM. MADE EVERY EFFORT TO AVOID OPENING UP CEILING OF SHOWER STALL FIRST. DETERMINED PLUMBING WAS IN TACT BUT FOUND CRACKED TILES UP UNDER THE MARBLE LEDGE.

 + -1 moreON TIME, VERY POLITE, AND MORE THAN REASONABLY PRICED - IT WAS FREE.
Description of Work: I CALLED JIM RITCHARD BECAUSE I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY FAUCET. I CALLED MR. RITCHARD LATE ON A WEDNESDAY; HE RETURNED MY CALL THE NEXT DAY. WHEN I GOT HIM ON THE PHONE AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM, MR. RITCHARD WALKED ME THROUGH A VERY EASY FIX IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES ON THE PHONE. AT HIS RECOMMENDATION, I PURCHASED A $4 DOLLAR PART AT THE HARDWARE STORE LATER THAT DAY, AND MY PROBLEM IS FULLY RESOLVED. I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY A PLUMBER AROUND $80 TO SOLVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE MORE SATISFIED. MR. RITCHARD FIXED MY PROBLEM AT A COST TO HIMSELF, HAVING NEVER MET ME, AND SAVED ME $76 DOLLARS. IF IN THE FUTURE I HAVE MORE SERIOUS PLUMBING PROBLEMS, I KNOW WHO I WILL CALL. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH MR. RITCHARDS' PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND FAIR DEALING. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM UNHESITATINGLY ON THE BASIS OF THIS INTERACTION.

Description of Work: BATHROOM SINK WAS CLOGGED. JIM USED A POWER SNAKE, WHICH DID NOT CLEAR THE CLOG, THEN CLEANED A TRAP IN THE BASEMENT, AND REPLACED A SECTION OF THE PIPE.

 + -1 moreJIM WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND PLEASANT. I WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE HIM AGAIN. THE ONLY REASON I GAVE JIM A 'B' ON THE QUALITY OF HIS WORK IS BECAUSE ON HIS FIRST SERVICE CALL TO MY HOUSE, HE KIND OF RUSHED THROUGH THE JOB, NOT SPENDING MUCH TIME, IT SEEMED TO ME, TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM. AS IT TURNED OUT, THE REPAIR JIM MADE DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM I HAD WITH THE RADIATOR, AS I DISCOVERED WHEN I TURNED ON THE HEAT LATER IN THE DAY AND WATER KEPT ON LEAKING OUT OF THE RADIATOR. THIS MEANT THAT I HAD TO ARRANGE FOR JIM TO COME BACK A SECOND TIME TO FIX THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. HE WAS VERY AGREEABLE TO DOING THIS, HOWEVER, AND PROMPT IN HIS RESPONSE, AND FORTUNATELY, HE FIXED THE PROBLEM THIS SECOND TIME. I'M TRUSTING THAT HIS UNSUCCESSFUL FIRST SERVICE CALL TO MY HOUSE WAS A FLUKE!
Description of Work: ONE OF MY RADIATORS WAS LEAKING WATER ONTO THE FLOOR.

HE CALLED ME BACK RIGHT AWAY TO LET ME KNOW THAT UNFORTUNATELY HE WAS BOOKED UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK, AND THAT HE WAS GOING ON VACATION THE FOLLOWING WEEK. AS I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM IN MORE DETAIL HE UNDERSTOOD THAT I COULD NOT WAIT THAT LONG, SO HE MADE ROOM IN HIS BUSY SCHEDULE TO GET THE REPAIR DONE THAT EVENING. I THINK THAT THIS ACTION SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT JIM'S PROFESSIONALISM AND CONSIDERATION TO HIS COSTUMERS.
