Went with a 12-year American water heater model. The service was on time and professional. Kirkland took the old heater and I guess they dealt with warranty aspect.
Description of Work: Replaced a water heater still in warranty. My old (four or five years old) water heater died. It would not light and a local plumber removed the flue that was partially melted.

We have used their services before. They are efficient, kept to their estimate, and installed the toilet the same day that they called to schedule and were done by noon. They did a great job.

NEVER HIRE THIS CONTRACTOR! We bought a house and asked Kirkland and Shaw to come look at a plumbing problem. The plumber seemed annoyed at coming out. Furthermore, once here he couldn't be bothered to look around the house and then suddenly declared he knew what the problem was. Based on his diagnosis of the problem we continued other work on the house, planning on doing the plumbing last. Now that we discovered the real problem, we have to rip out some of the work we already serious money on. When we asked the plumber about the misdiagnosis he became angry and unprofessional. Maybe some of Kirkland and Shaw's plumbers are okay, but the one we got was a dud and has ending up costing us quite a bit of money without having even hired him.
Description of Work: Our heating system needed work.

Terrific. I felt I got great service, when expected, and wasn't taken for something more than necessary.
Description of Work: My son had pulled the faucet right off the kitchen sink. I had that replaced with a very nice Kohler model and even the spray part (which was broken but I did ask about) was replaced as part of the whole assembly. I had a toilet that was broken and I thought it might need to be replaced but it was an easy fix done in just a few minutes.

It went very well. They were polite and professional on the phone and in person. Although the job was not complicated, they did it well and efficiently. The plumber arrived on time, answered all my questions and did his work well. The price was reasonable too.
Description of Work: Much of what Kirkland and Shaw did was help me with my idiocy. We had a very limited amount of hot water and it turned out that my 18-month-old daughter had flipped a switch that I didn't know about. The technician found it quickly and was not condescending - even though that would have been understandable. Additionally, we had previously had an appliance repairman come to the house who indicated that our dishwasher's plumbing was unnecessarily complicated and he refused to repair it. The tech from K & S took a closer look and found that information to be wrong. He then recommended another appliance repairman who has since repaired the dishwasher easily.

He came immediately after I called them. Steve and his dad have owned the company for fifty years now and they are skilled plumbers. He also does preventative maintenance for me and lets me know what to do to prevent things form occurring. I really like to use them and I call them for all my plumbing needs.

They were very quick to come over. It was a short term thing. They were very punctual. They told me they were going to be at my house at a certain hour, and they got there on time. The quality of their work was good.
Description of Work: They replaced the faucet in my restroom. They serviced the restroom toilet, tightening screws and checked for leaks only because nothing was wrong it. The work was done in about 45 minutes.

Excellent from start, telephone contact was friendly and knowledgeable to the finish, young man arrived exactly when expected, worked quickly and cleanly and was both friendly and polite and cheerfully worked around us. He finished in under two hours despite the need to make some unexpected adjustments because of the tight space available.

Steve Kirkland did an excellent job with this project, which was complicated by a number of factors, including a difficult site to work on. He did not implement the most expensive solution but one that worked very well and within our budget.
Description of Work: They furnished and installed a sump pump and basin. It included excavating a basin hole, refilling the existing holes in the basement floor, and a plumbing outlet to outside to properly drain away from the foundation.

Excellent. The plumber was on time. He heard the entire problem (that the leak starts 10 minutes after the second floor shower had been used). He explained that he had seen similar problems previously and opened the shower controls and found a leak. He replaced the part.

GOOD. EXPENSIVE. FAST. TWO NICE GUYS WHO LET ME BE NOSY AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR AND GOT ALONG WELL. THEY TESTED THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEFORE THEY LEFT AND MADE ADJUSTMENTS. WE HAD HOT WATER WITHIN THE HOUR. P.S. THE WORK WAS DONE IN FEBRUARY 2005 WHEN IT WAS FREEZING COLD.
Description of Work: REMOVED A BROKEN 80 GALLON WATER HEATER, AND INSTALLED A NEW ONE IN THE SPACE OF 24 HOURS. NICE JOB ON THE SOLDERING. I'M GLAD THEY HAD A PUMP WITH THEM TO DRAIN OUT THE REST OF THE WATER IN THE BROKEN TANK, QUICKLY.

EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT. K&S HAVE BEEN OUR LOCAL PLUMBER FOR YEARS, AND EVEN THOUGH THEIR PRICES TEND TO THE HIGH SIDE, THEIR WORK IS EXCELLENT, CLEAN, AND RELIABLE. THIS LARGE INSTALLATION WAS TRUE TO THEIR FORM. COST WAS NO HIGHER THAN OTHER BIDS, LESS THAN SOME. REAL TEST WILL BE NEXT WINTER, BUT SO FAR WE ARE VERY PLEASED, AND PLEASED THAT WE WENT WITH THEIR BID.
