I CALLED THEM AT 7:00 ON MONDAY MORNING. THEY ASKED ME FOR MY HEATERS MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS SO THEY COULD SEE IF ITS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT TURNED OUT THAT IT WAS, SO I GOT OFF RELATIVELY CHEAPLY. THE FELLOW SHOWED UP ABOUT 8:45 AND THE WORK WAS DONE BY 11:00 (HAD TO WAIT A LITTLE WHILE FOR THE UNIT TO BE DELIVERED). NICE PERSON, QUALITY WORK, REASONABLE PRICE.

THE LINE WAS DIFFICULT TO GET TO, AND IN ORDER TO REPLACE IT THE STOVE AND TWO CABINETS HAD TO BE REMOVED. THIS WAS DONE AND EVERYTHING WAS REPLACED EXACTLY AS BEFORE. THE WORK WAS DONE WITH CARE AND QUALITY, EVEN A FEW EXTRA THINGS THAT WERE DISCOVERED IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING THE INITIAL REPAIR.

WOULD DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN.

ALTHOUGH THERE WERE A FEW MIX-UPS WITH RETURNING CALLS AND ARRIVALS, THEY WERE EVENTUALLY RESOLVED. WE''VE USED TRETHEWEY MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS. FOUND THEM TO BE PROFESSIONAL--DO QUALITY WORK. PRICES MAY BE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN AVERAGE--NOT REALLY SURE-- BUT THEY DO SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
Description of Work: TRETHEWEY FIRST EXAMINED A NON-WORKING POWER ASSISTED TOILET. SEARCHED FOR PARTS, AND WHEN NONE COULD BE LOCATED (DISCONTINUED MODEL) REPLACED TOILET WITH NEW FIXTURE.

THIS COMPANY WAS THE FIRST TO PHONE ME BACK. THE PLUMBER CAME WITHIN THE HOUR AND WAS ON TIME. HE ASSESSED THE PROBLEM, CALLED FOR A NEW PART. WHILE HE REMOVED THE OLD FAUCET ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE COMPANY DELIVERED THE PART TO MY HOME SO THE WORK WAS COMPLETED FAST AND EFFICIENTLY. A POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE ON THE JOB.
Description of Work: THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE SINK AREA INTO THE CUPBOARD BELOW BECAUSE THE FAUCET HAD BECOME RUSTED AND CORRODED. A NEW FAUCET WAS INSTALLED WITH A SPRAY PIPE. THE LABOR HAD A 30 DAY GUARANTEE AND THE PARTS A YEAR''S GUARANTEE.

KNOWING THAT TRETHEWEY BROTHERS HAS A REPUTATION FOR GOOD SERVICE, WE WERE EXPECTING TO BE SLAPPED WITH AN INFLATED PRICE TAG FOR THEIR SERVICES. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT WHAT WE WERE CHARGED WAS REASONABLE GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE SERVICEMAN SPENT AND THE THE QUALITY OF WORK HE DID. I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATED THE PROFESSIONALISM AND STRAIGHTFORWARD TALK. BEING A WOMAN, ONE OF MY MOST OFF-PUTTING EXPERIENCES WITH MANY COMPANIES HAS BEEN THE WAY SERVICE PEOPLE TALK DOWN TO YOU ONCE THEY SEE YOU''RE A WOMAN -THEY DON''T IMAGINE A WOMAN WOULD EVEN WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY''RE DOING. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WITH TRETHEWEY BROTHERS. THEY WERE HONEST AND PROFESSIONAL AND RESPECTFUL.
