I dealt with Lee Nicely in setting up the project, estimates, scheduling etc. His work crews were highly professional, in their relationship with me and my wife, in their sensitivity to our personal space, their deference to the impact of the work on us and their leaving their work space cleaned and ordered at the end of each day. Our project went off without a hitch and Lee was available to answer questions and monitor the quality of the installation. They are a remarkable company.

These folks are great. The attention to detail is exceptional. They were here when they said they would be; finished when they said they would; and delivered the product that they indicated that they would. They treated the house as though it was their home, cleaning up all work areas at the end of each work day. They have also been back to service/clean the unit as well which was also done at the same level of service. I am not sure what they could have done differently to improve the experience.
Description of Work: The heating system was replaced. Beyond replacing the system with a much more energy efficient system, zones were added and all piping in the house (radiator heat) was replaced.

I wouldn?t use them again since they cut the wrong pipe. The plumber had to replace two pipes. He didn?t charge me for the one that he cut by mistake, but he charged me for an hour. He didn?t charge me anymore than he would have but it?s just the fact that he didn?t pay close attention to look at the right pipe. He did quality work. He did well on his responsiveness.

Our furnace died over the weekend. We have an 18 month old daughter so the thought of going without heat all weekend was very distressing to us. They answered the phone right away and were willing to come out on a Saturday just several hours after we called them, even though we weren't a past customer. Very pleasant and professional to deal with. Price was what was estimated and done efficiently. We will use them for any future furnace needs

We are super pleased with Pine State and will use them in the future for any plumbing or sewer or heating needs. Four of my co-workers use them and they are all impressed with the service, which is how I came to call them in the first place. They also are open on Saturdays which I found helpful so that we don't have to miss work and apparently stay open till 7pm as well. I am a designer and really appreciate how neat, clean and organized they were. Their forms were easy to read, their website is really nice and I really like the new look and trucks! (I know this shouldn't sway my decision to like them, but it helps!) I just felt like we were using the best quality company. It wasn't your typical plumbers crack quality of company. I understand that they may cost a little bit more, but you certainly get what you pay for.
Description of Work: I am not entirely sure what exactly they did, as my husband was the one who discussed the services with them. But he was extremely happy with the results. He thought the technician was professional, clean cut, knew what he was doing and the service exceeded his expectations. When I called in for service, I got a person on the phone everytime I called. Never an answering machine which is important to me. The technician actually spent time with my husband showing him what he was doing and why and gave recommendations that were really helpful.

This company was professional from the beginning, made a timely estimate, was always easy to contact. They showed up on the date they initially promised and got all of the work done in one day while I was at work; I was able to come home to a warm home with no mess. They even went the extra mile to label the existing and new gas lines in the basement with very easy to spot and legible tags; something I hadn't thought of but shows they have a clear sense of responsibility to their clients for the future.

I wish it were not so expensive to run a professional plumbing, heating and cooling company. The trucks, the insurance, the training, the inventory, the safety programs, the 24 hour phone service, the wages for top notch technicians…it costs a lot to put this show on the road! Our prices are based on our costs of doing business. Our prices are fair, and we try to provide great, quality service. However, in this instance we have failed to communicate the value of that service to you and for that, we apologize. Our goal is your 100% satisfaction. I encourage you to please let us know how we can make you 100% satisfied with our services.

Pine State was extremely responsive. From the time I called to the time they were at the job was approximately 1 hr. Work was performed quickly and without problems. $290 for 45 minutes of work seems quite expensive to me, but I suppose I was paying for the immediate service.
Description of Work: Pine State cleared a severely clogged drain in a rental condo I own. It was causing a backup in both the bathroom and kitchen sink. They snaked the drain to remove the clog.

Pine state was extremely professional and friendly. I am redoing my kitchen, and in order to add cabinets I had to remove a radiator. The technician asked me questions to understand what I wanted and helped me by suggesting that we add a low-profile fin heating pipe in the sink cabinet to keep my kitchen plumbing warm while not taking all the space the old radiator took. He was efficient, friendly, and well versed in the trade. The work went quickly and he cleaned up after he was done.
Description of Work: Removed hot water radiator, which involved draining the entire hot water heating system and refilling after.

Bad from the get go. Told Pine State I wouldn't be available until 1pm because I was in meetings all morning. Got two calls from "Brian" at 11:45 asking me to call them right away. I called when I got out of my meeting and "Brian" informed me that he could have sent a guy over when he called but, since I didn't call him back, there was no telling when and if he'd be able to send a guy out and get my work done that day. When the Pine State guy did show up, he looked at the supply lines and the shower assembly and said, "I can't do anything with that, because we didn't supply it. It's junk. If I were you I'd return it and buy something from us." Then he tried to convince me to do that, when I said no, I want this, he reiterated that there was nothing he could do and added that there was no way to attach the existing supply lines to the shower shanks. Then he shook his head and left. But before he did, he tried to charge me a $79 dispatch fee despite not doing anything. I called another plumber, (see Mantsch Plumbing report) who came in and put the whole thing together and connected the supply lines in three hours.
Description of Work: Called on Monday to schedule Tuesday afternoon service call from 1pm to 5pm. Job was to swap out 3/4 inch supply lines with 1/2 inch and install new shower assembly.

Response from Pine State Services
Although some time has elapsed, we are disappointed to see that you had a poor experience with our company. This is not typical of our services and reputation. We are extremely sorry we did not meet your expectations. It is unfortunate that our technician chose the word “junk” in describing his concern over the product you wanted to install. We encourage our technicians to use caution when installing owner supplied products due to quality concerns. He should have used a better, more educational approach with you. We truly appreciate the feedback and want to let you know that the importance of client satisfaction is not overlooked.

We were happy with the service and response time. It was a very cold night and the plumber showed up at 2am, not an easy thing to ask of anyone during the Maine winter. The plumber was very knowledgeable and friendly. He offered tips on how we could be proactive to avoid the problem from occurring again.
Description of Work: We came home from dinner to find our house sewer pipe backed up and left us with a mess in the basement. We needed the pipe cleared so the water would drain from our basement. We called Pine State at 1 am and they were at our house by 2am. The pipe was cleared and we used a camera to find out the pipe collapsed 20 feet from the house and needs to be replaced in the spring.
