Since I was a new customer they required a credit card to charge 1 hour labor. I saw this charge and no more bills or copy of work order until 11/13/14 when I got a bill for $377.94. I didn't expect it to be that much, it appeared to be a simple fix to me. $69 for a tub spout when I had priced them at Home Depot for under $20. After showing the bill to a couple of people I guess it wasn't out of line but it sure was a shock. I wasn't home when the plumber did the job, but he fixed the problems and left no sign of being there. Other than price I'm very satisfied. I'm just used to having someone that can do handyman jobs and hiring professionals can be shocking!
Description of Work: Replaced bathtub spout and shower valve assembly

Immediate response to early 6AM call. Follow up reassuring calls until arrived. Curus worked to complete and test repairs. He was very considerate NOT to track cellar dirt over kitchen rugs. Very pleasant. ALL of my service from Ray's has been outstanding including 3 day furnace replacement in winter. The best service I've had anywhere in over 80 years.
Description of Work: Did not cost anything because I have a maintenance contract. Replaced blown-out spring-loaded valve (hot water) which blew with two loud bangs early in the morning. Cleaned furnace, replaced filters, and checked system overall function.

Terrible
Description of Work: Needed my cottage wintereized. I had always used Clayton Knowles who was very good. For some unknown reason my husband contacted this company and he agreed to do the job. Not only did they charge me three times as much, when the cottage was opened up we had a leaking pipe that they failed to winterize. They fixed it and sent us another bill for 300+ I called them and informed them I wasn't paying, he was rude and did not want to talk to a woman. I had my husband contact them becuase I was furious by this time, he told them the same thing I said and for him they took the charge off. I can't believe they tried to charge me for a job they did poorly and then were rude on top of it. Clayton Knowles was our plumber again and I recommended him to many people.

They were pretty good. I had a couple problems with them but if you don’t stay on top of new construction people, you’re the one that’s going to suffer for it. They finished the job when they said they would. They worked with us in terms of the system we wanted to use and manipulated it so we could use both oil and wood-burning boilers. They’re available off-hours which sometimes is convenient. They are reliable. I can’t say if they were reasonable because I only used them.
Description of Work: I used Ray Plumbing and Heating. They were hired to do the entire plumbing in my new construction house eight years ago.
