I found his prices high. The quality of his work was satisfactory give the prices. We would agree to a time and he would be a no-show, and 4-5 days later he would tell me he was sick. This happened repeatedly. However, his responsiveness and follow through were unacceptably poor. I was forced to use another plumber to complete the projects in the house that he was supposed to do. He would not return phone calls and would not respond to any text messages. Buyer beware!
Description of Work: He was hired to do the plumbing work for a bathroom renovation. He was sub-contracted out through another company.

They replaced the hot water heater and because it’s a power vent hot water heater it tends to be more expensive than the standard hot water heaters. They did the job in a very timely fashion. The instillation was smooth and the work was very good. We had looked at Angie’s list as well as the consumer check book and they were the first to respond. They did the job expeditiously, responded quickly and were able to perform the complete task in less than 2 hours. We were not happy with their billing.
Description of Work: We used Mello Plumbing & Heating for replacing a power vent hot water heater.

He arrived late, hung around with other people working and lolly-gagged around with them and wasted a lot of time. He was supposed to come at 9AM and came at a quarter of 10AM. When he submitted his invoice to get paid, he wanted to get paid for eight hours when he only worked six and a half. He debated me about what time he showed up and was extremely stubborn and argumentative. One of the contractors took me to the bank to get money, and when I got back he was outside talking and smoking with one of the other guys. He said he was going to come back and never showed up, and he never finished the job.
Description of Work: He came in and he was supposed to fix the leaks in the toilet and put in a faucet that I had purchased in the bathroom sink.

Response from MELLO PLUMBING & HEATING
I WAS ASKED BY HER TO REPAIR LEAKS THAT HAD HAPPENED OVER THE WINTER IN HER HOME IN CHELSEA MA. SHE ALSO WANTED ME TO TO INSTALL A FAUCET FOR HER. UPON SEEING THE DAMAGE TO HER HOME THERE WERE MANY SPLIT COPPER WATER FEEDS TO ALL 3 APARTMENTS. SHE INSISTED THAT I INSTALL THE NEW FAUCET BUT I COULDN'T BECAUSE THE WATER LINES FEEDING HER BATHROOM WERE SPLIT IN 7 DIFFERENT PLACES. THIS BUILDING WAS ABANDONED BY TENANTS AND EVERYTHING WAS BROKEN INCLUDING THE HEATING SYSTEM THAT THE GAS COMPANY HAD SHUT OFF. THIS BUILDING WAS IN ROUGH SHAPE AND NEEDED LOTS OF WORK TO BE RE-OPERATIONABLE. SEVERE HEALTH HAZARD. WHILE WORKING THERE SHE HAD REALIZED THAT I HAD WORKED WITH HER IN A PRIOR COMPANY AND TALKED TO ME FOR A GOOD HOUR ASKING ME QUESTIONS. I PUT IN A 9 HOUR DAY (APPROXIMATELY 7.5 HOURS WRENCH TIME.) I LOCATED AND REPAIRED 5 LEAKS ON THE COLD WATER LINES, 4 LEAKS ON THE HOT WATER LINES AND 6 LEAKS ON THE HEATING SYSTEM ZONE LINES. MY PRICE WAS $800. I SPENT $275 ON PARTS. TOTAL PROFIT $525 FOR LABOR. SHE ONLY GAVE ME $500. SHE RIPPED ME OFF AND NEVER PAID ME THE REST. SHE SAID SHE WOULD SEND ME A CHECK AND NEVER DID. I WENT BY HER HOME TO CHECK IN WITH HER AND GET PAYMENT BUT THE PLACE LOOKS CONDEMNED AGAIN.
