Had a bad feeling about these guys from the beginning with lots of over the top, ridiculous pricing for minor issues but (supposedly) they had the right tech to work on our HE heat system. Lots of waiting weeks if not months for parts and often having to come back several times to tie up loose ends that caused the system to fail again. Finally severed relationship after they claimed they installed a new (and profanely expensive!) circulator pump but lied and left the original in which broke down again shortly after the job.

It went ok. They did a great job cleaning up afterwards. I thought the price was ok. It was difficult to get a hold of them for service after work was completed to correct work.

They had replaced another for me in the past for my first floor. There is nothing that I dislike. They are very timely, and professional. The first experience was good, and it was the same with this one.

They found the problem which was a pac pipe had collapsed so we had a bathroom leak which was over our kitchen. They repaired it under an hour, cleaned up and were done. Extremely pleased and would most definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to others.
Description of Work: They were awesome, we had used them a few years back and were very happy with them then as well. This time was more of an urgent nature and they responded immediately and were at the house approximately 1-2 hours later.

Three family house = three hot water heaters. Jamie, Billy and Joey have been out in the last year to replace two. Telephone communication is clear, responses are prompt. Prices are fair, work is high quality, workers are competent, fast, nice. I truly appreciate the professionalism and quality of this business! (I am not a family member, but I am a repeat customer).

Thompson Plumbing came out about a week after my initial phone call. After a little phone tag back and forth, mostly due to me missing their phone calls back to me, I scheduled an appointment. 2 guys came out and got right to work. They replaced a pipe to an outside hose that had frozen last winter. They installed a drain on the pipe to prevent this problem from happening again in the future. They also fixed a bathroom sink that was leaking. The work was done right and reasonably priced. Highly recommended. Will definitely use again in the future for plumbing work needed.

Jamie immediately responded to 2 emergency phone calls from me in the same week. The crew was at my mom's house in no time and assessed the problems right away. The old hot water heater was swapped out for a new one within hours and the clogged pipe was taken care of on the spot. The guys were knowlegable, friendly, polite and clean about themselves and their work. Jamie has also done work at my house, disconnecting and reconnecting an old gas stove, a radiator and an old dishwasher during a renovation. He also replaced old bathroom pipes that would have caused a lot of problems down the line had Jamie not spotted the issue. I had the same great results with the work done at my home and would recommend the company highly.
Description of Work: Jamie and his crew installed a new hot water heater and unplugged a clog in a pipe as a result of two calls from me in the same week. He even helped my mom with a problem with her gas dryer.

My service was not very good. The garbage disposal did not work shortly after they installed it. It was working on and off for about a year. I tried to use the reset button and that didn't work. My experience was poor.

Excellent work. Jamie and his team were very professional. My home was a 1 family converted to a 2 family, but both apartments were still on one heating system. They added a brand new heating system (very efficient and small) for the first floor unit with baseboard heating (gas/steam heat). put a brand new hot water heater (gas), plus added a brand new hot water heater for the 2nd floor unit, and converted it to gas (was previously electric). Overall, I was and remain very satisfied. I believe that paying the price for quality is worth every dime.
Description of Work: Added a new heating system, and 2 hot water heaters. Added separate heating to 1st floor of multifamily, including all new baseboards with copper piping (gas/steam heat) throughout the apartment.

They came for one visit and took out the blower motor. They showed up promptly and as soon as they could. They ordered a new blower that came about five days later. Then, they showed up and put it in. When they got the old blower motor, they took it apart to see what had happened. They told me that some of the blades had deteriorated. They weren't able to offer any guarantee on the longevity of the fan, because one of the fans that had deteriorated was only about five days old. However, they seemed knowledgeable, and they did what they said they would do. The price was reasonable and fair.

Jamie (plumber) came within 48 hours to give estimates when I was making an offer on an old house and figuring out what the upcoming expenses would be. After the purchase, he and Jim (his father, the office manager) went above and beyond with paperwork I needed to get a HEAT loan for the job--literally for months. Never complained, never delayed, always said it was business as usual. When the loan came through, 3 oil tanks and 3 burners were removed and 3 new gas furnaces were installed and running in less than a week. The price was fair, the work was fast and of excellent quality. Jamie and Jim are stand-up guys. Call them.
Description of Work: Remove oil burner and tank, install and hook up new gas furnace (3X).

Very well. The response was prompt and the advice helpful.
Description of Work: I had a badly backed up basement sink and blocked outflow. Mr. Thompson promptly returned my call and was willing to come out quickly to check on whether they could repair it. One of his employees came out and determined that it would require a professional drain company with a larger snake than he could provide. They recommended a company that was also able to come out quickly and which solved the problem. Mr. Thompson did not charge me for the call, which I found very decent.

Thompson was there to work on another project for me (kitchen redo) and noticed a puddle on top of the water heater. They called me immediately to explain the situation. I gave the go ahead and when I arrived home that evening, the old water heater was gone and the cement pad had been installed (the mortar had to set up overnight before they installed the new water heater). The next day the new water heater was installed. Additionally, they met with me to discuss the status of my other water heater, and the two furnaces (this is a two-family home) and regular maintenance that needs to be done on them, as well as anticipated replacement costs for the older of the two furnaces (the thing is older than I am). After meeting with Thompson plumbing, I feel I have a clear idea of upcoming plumbing costs and regular maintenance items, and I will set aside money for these so that when the furnace goes I won't be hit too hard financially. Thompson has done several jobs for me in the four years I have owned my fixer-upper. They have essentially replaced all of the plumbing to both kitchens and bathrooms. I find them to be reasonably priced, friendly, professional, and CLEAN. I will totally hire them again.
Description of Work: Removed old water heater. Installed a cement-block pad (they mortared the blocks in). This was done to elevate the new water heater off of the basement floor by about 8 inches since the basement occasionally gets water. Installed new water heater.

They were friendly, reasonably priced, they clean the top of my water heater. When they left, we tried to turn the hot water in the bathroom sink and it wouldn't come on. I called them, and they came right back out, and found that a valve to the sink had gotten stuck when the main water valve had been shut off and back on. They replaced those flexible pipes at no cost to me.
Description of Work: I had them change 2 outside water spigots and replaced new valves as well as the valve on my main water line to the house.
