He was thorough, methodical, pleasant, and answered my questions. I would not hesitate to use his services again. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Two lower kitchen cabinets, counter top and kitchen door molding had to be removed from the wall to access a broken pipe in the wall. The contractor had to cut through the drywall, cut out the damaged section of the steel pipe and replace the damaged section. He also replaced a valve under the sink and fixed my kitchen faucet.

Ron arrived a little later than he estimated, but still within a reasonable time frame. We had a laundry list of small plumbing jobs that needed doing. He wasn't able to do some of them due to needing parts, but he was helpful on telling me exactly what I needed to purchase so he could do them in the future. He was able to do everything we needed with our upstairs shower/tub, which was the most important to us anyway. I had figured out the right parts in advance so he could simply get to work. He was quick and professional. We can now choose when we want to have a bath! The flipper works, the drain is clear, and our new handles don't leak water. I was pleased with what he charged us to do the work. I'm glad we've finally found a good plumber! We'll keep using this company for our plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Replaced tub/shower handles, made flipper work (to take a bath when desired), and snaked the drain.

He was very personable and professional in person, but I never heard anything from him again. My sense is that Breeden Brothers would be an option if you have a specific design, cabinets, appliances, etc., but they aren't really equipped to handle the planning of the project beyond the logistics of installing the cabinets and appliances. My general lack of organization and inexperience probably scared him off.
Description of Work: I asked Breeden Brothers to bid on my kitchen remodel. Ron Breeden came to look at my kitchen and take measurements, but he never came back with a quote for the work.

Our hot water heater stopped working. We called several places, but most either didn't get back to us or quoted us lengthy waits. The operator at Breeden first advised us to find the make and model of our heater and then to call the manufacturer to see if our hot water heater was still under warranty. By doing this, we were able to find out that heater, while it wasn't under warranty, had a part that was known to be defective and, under the requirements of a class action lawsuit, sent us the new part free of charge. Once the part came in, the repairman came over, installed it in little time, and then was done. Because the operator gave us such good advice, we were able to do a lot of legwork ourselves and avoid a much more expensive repair.
Description of Work: Installed a new (manufacturer-supplied) part for our hot water heater. (I think it was some kind of thermocouple, but I'm not technical.)

I sent them an email on August 13th. I sent a follow up note on August 18th just to check in since I hadn't heard anything. ZERO response. A little frustrating, given the stellar reviews on Angieslist. If they do not have the common courtesy to respond to requests for estimates (and it has been nearly a month now), one wonders whether they would be responsive, punctual, or honest if we ever were to contract with them to get any work done. Total disappointment.
Description of Work: I contacted them about getting an estimate for work done in my home. Specifically, I wanted to get closets redone.

Ron cared about our tub problem and fixed it with pride in his profession. I liked him because he was old school with lots of experience, believed in metal over plastic for some applications, and in the power of vinegar to get rid of scale buildup on a kitchen faucet. He was a pleasant guy with everything for repair on his van and was organized. A real find! I will use him again.
Description of Work: We had a leaky tub, and the leak could be seen from below the tub in the unfinished ceiling of the mud room. I thought it was from the trap. Ron was courteous and inquisitive on the phone about what I thought the problem was. He explained to me that nine times out of ten, a leak in that area was not due to the trap itself but to the looseness of the fittings and possibly, due to the age of the plumbing, it could be the waste stop. He explained that regardless, he'd come out on a service call to fix the leak. All the plumbers I'd called before Ron told me what they would charge to come out and see the problem but Ron was the only one who talked about the problem first before talking about how he charged for a visit. So I told him to come on out. He found out it was the stop that needed replacing and showed it to us and then told us he would come back on Monday with the needed parts. He is also partial to brass fittings instead of plastic, which I liked, and when he came as planned to fix the tub, he took the time to be careful removing old, rusty parts from the old cast iron tub without damaging the porcelain. He was fast, confidant, and he tested his work twice to make sure of the repair. I will use him again.

Ron did a fantastic job on our master bathroom renovation. This was a tough project. It was a total gut of our master bathroom and enlargement of it into a closet. The project also included replacing the existing skylight. I highly recommend Breeden Brothers and I will recommend him to my friends and closets.
Description of Work: Master bathroom and closet next to bathroom was gutted and combined. Plumbing installed. Framing installed. Drywall work done. Skylight replaced. Painting completed. Finishing done.

They were supposed to arrive at my rental house around 10:AM and I was under the impression that there was a two hour time frame that it would take to do this work after arriving at 10:AM. I advised my tenant of this. When the tenant left after the service provider not showing up on time, the tenant was stopped by the worker coming to do the work. The worker asked my tenant if she lived here and she said yes and advised him that she was leaving because he did not show up at the time he was supposed to. I was billed an invoice for service because he went to the house and stated to me that it was going to take two hours. However, I was told that he would arrive at 10:AM and he did not show up at this time. He did not even call or knock on the door when he arrived. The only contact the worker had with the tenant was after she came outside to leave. No effort was made by the service provider to contact me about the services(not) performed until I received the bill and have since received a second bill. RESPONSE TO BREEDEN"S RESPONSE (16 Nov 2011): I find the company's response appalling and misleading. It appears from a few other posts that they have an issue with both being on time and providing timely notice or communication. They were the ones who stated the time of arrival and approximate 2 hour window needed to do the job. The tenant did not plan to leave after 30 minutes (not sure why this accusation was made) but did cancel previous arrangements made for someone else to pick up her small child after it was apparent the contractor was not going to keep the appointment. When she proceeded to do that and happened to see the contractor outside, she was in no position to stay and have the work done at that point. No...no one expected them to travel back and forth (not even sure why this was stated) but neither should they take people's time for granted. Again, they didn't even contact me when this incident occurred. Not until a couple of months later did I receive any contact...in the form of a bill...for a service call????????? What.... for a service a call they never completed due to their own negligence? Understand that thing do happen but they could have called on both accounts (being late and incident with tenant).
Description of Work: They were coming to repair the hole in the ball behind the back of the gas stove.

Response from Breeden Brothers, Inc
We try to comply with the needs of our customers but you can't spend hours traveling back and forth and not billing the customer. I spoke to the member and explained it in her statement. Giving me a 2 hour window to do the repairs doesn't work when the tenant that lives there was going to leave after 30 minutes. She also refused to stay or let us do the work. My time for the free estimate is acceptable but not an additional trip to be turned away. Also we only charged for a service call, not the quoted price to do the repairs, which I did not get paid for.

Clogged toilet that confounded any and all attempts to unclog. I called Breeden Bros. and they came the next morning. The plumber quickly and efficiently unclogged the toilet -- an empty medicine bottle had been knocked into the commode and flushed into the drain, blocking it. I will definitely use them again.

Aside from being close to an hour late on one day (and we had to call them), they did an excellent job. The finished work looks great and they worked quickly but thoroughly - they did not take any short cuts and did solid/sturdy installations of the electric line and range. The drywall work looks as good as new.
Description of Work: Breeden Brothers replaced my old gas range with a new electric range. This included running a new electric line and the associated drywall work.

In the torrential rain last night, suddenly there were leaks in my utility room. This morning, called several roofers, but none could send anyone out for days, but one suggested I try to get a handyman instead, which lead me to Breeden Brothers. They were able to send someone out within two hours of my call and he discovered and fixed the problem in less than 20 minutes (loose flange on an exhaust fan stack.) He was courteous and pleasant and it was a huge releif that it wasn't any bigger a problem than it was.

The service was excellent and prompt and professional. The quote was generated promptly and e-mailed for a quick decision. The main handyman advised using the whirlybird roof vents over the alternatives and they are indeed working well. My googling of the issue suggests this was good advice. He gave the impression of knowing what he was doing. Most of the handymen I contacted wouldn't deal with replacing the window. He took the broken window away to be repaired by another service, boarded up the window, transferred the alarm sensor, and then brought it back when it was fixed. I don't have concrete comparisons for the price as the other handymen I sought quotes from inexplicably never came through with them. Apparently they didn't need work. Anyway, my impression was that the quote was reasonable but perhaps a bit on the high side (I could be wrong). At any rate, I was very satisfied with the service and would definitely consider them for any future projects.
Description of Work: They replaced a broken window, added two whirlybird attic roof vents, put up some pictures, installed three outdoor lights, replaced the door bell, put up a new address sign, and some minor miscellaneous tasks.

From start to finish, my experience with Ron was terrific. I plan to use his services in the future for a bathroom remodel. I would (and do) recommend him to all of my friends.
Description of Work: I had my kitchen remodeled including tearing out a wall between my dining room and kitchen. In the beginning, I had a general idea of the work that I wanted to have done. Ron did a great job of talking to me each day as the work was being done, asking questions and telling me about the work that they did during the day. It made the whole process feel very collaborative. Also - my house is 100 years old which can have some unexpected surprises when doing work. Ron had no problem handling anything unusual that popped up.

A small team, led by the owner, came in and gutted the bathroom quickly. Since it was my only bathroom, they worked around my need to have a working toilet every day although I did go elsewhere for my showers. They were able to accommodate several changes to the original idea (including a change in floor tile) and while they didn't move super fast on the job, the slowest part of the process was my fault, waiting for a vanity that ended up taking over six weeks to ship. The only issue was that there was a leak the first time I used the shower ... which would have been noticed by them if they had run the shower for a while. But they came in and fixed that ASAP and also repaired and repainted where it had leaked downstairs.
Description of Work: Gutted an original bathroom. Installed new floor tile (including electrical floor heat), new tub/shower, toilet, vanity, put up new walls (including shower wall), vent, lighting and painting.

Breeden Brothers had to come by multiple times to fix the clog. And while we would have preferred them to fix it in one visit, we were very impressed at their persistence. They came by four times, including twice voluntarily on Saturday mornings, and worked until they got the pipe cleared -- some 36 feet past the drain. They did a great job!

I met the company at my home to walk them through a bath project I wanted done. Multiple phone messages to them and many weeks later they never sent an estimate. In my last voicemail to them, I was quite clear that I expected a call back to explain why no estimate was forthcoming. They have never responded. If they did not want to bid, I wish they had just said so. I spent my time to meet with them. I am very disappointed that they have ignored my several requests for them to follow-up.

Ron was great with the work that he did. The tile floor looks wonderful, and the dryer vent pipe has stayed on for a little over a month now with no signs of wanting to pop off again. I was surprised with how expensive it ended up being, although it was below his original estimate. I would still use Breeden Brothers again, however, since the quality of the work was great.

It didn't go. I was told when we met that it would be possible for me to do some of the work (e.g., painting of bathroom, which I was having installed) and that the breakdown for the individual components of the bathroom would be provided so that I could see whether it was worth it or not to do some things myself. I was expecting to work with this company, but due to the failure to respond the second time I contacted Mr. Breeden (the first time prompted him to provide the general estimate), I obviously did not go with this plumbing/home improvement company.
Description of Work: I was told I would get a detailed estimate but instead received a vague estimate. When I responded to the written estimate with further questions I received no follow-up contact and so was left hanging. Essentially, there was no follow through.

I am still waiting on another estimate. I do have questions for them, but haven't yet spoke with them since the estimate. Ron Breeden came by and returned my calls promptly. He looked at the facility and asked me questions like the age of the house. He gave me good information about different tubs to consider and they were very informative. He was on time, professional and gave me the proposal in a reasonable amount of time. I had no issues.
