The entire process went very well. Ed showed up on time and was very courteous and professional and clearly knew what he was doing. He got right to work and finished the job quickly. Ed was respectful of the house, always wearing protective covers on his shoes when he came inside. I would definitely use them again.

Sparrow has been responsive, thoughtful and very effective at their jobs here. I had a plumber that put all my plumbing into my new house and came through my builder. After a few months he decided not to respond to my requests to come out and fix problems that were caused by their work. It seemed like something was going on with that plumber and my builder but I can not confirm that right now. Regardless Sparrow came highly recommended by Fergusons. They told me what to expect, followed through and the problems were eliminated. They will now be our plumbers from here out.

I think that they are not quite as available as some others might be because I guess they are well established and so usually you can't get them right away unless it is a huge emergency thing, but they are a good company to work with. I think the price is reasonable, it's high but I think it is pretty much the going rate and there is a certain amount just for coming out.

I just read what was written on the Angie's List about them. The plumber who did one of the kitchen, I had a question about something that doesn't seem to be quite right with the water filter and he came back by to check it out on his way home. Their customer service is good. I am new to the area, so I don't know if the price is fair or not. I think they are competitive in the area. I can't compare them to anyone in the area.

.Lester the plumber was excellent. He was able to diagnose and correct the problem with no difficulty. An A+ score for the work done and how it was done would not be an exaggerated rating. I know who I will call for any future plumbing needs.

Woke up one morning to a loud "bang" under the house, in the crawlspace and NO hot water. Upon examination the power module on the side of the hot water heater had basically shorted out and exploded. Made a call to Sparrow and they had a technician out that afternoon to see if the water heater was repairable. Based on the age and condition of the old heater, the technician suggested a replacement, which made good sense on multiple levels. Two technicians came out the next afternoon and installed the new hot water heater and carted away the old one. The process was smooth, seamless and efficient.

scheduled work got dropped at last minute and later rescheduled - shower rough-in set one elbow too close to surface - homeowner had to redo since plumber never called back to arrange time to fix- closet bend installed at wrong height and not level - homeowner has to find different plumber to have fixed UPDATE 8/6/13 - John Sparrow called to apologize and offered to talk about what it would take to make me a fully satisfied customer. This level of concern changes everything and I have updated my ratings because of this. No doubt I would like to have had it right the first time, but Sparrow does show care for customer and I'm sure this will help them be successful.

My husband called and within 2 hours they were at our house. They cut the old pump off the uphill line to identify what kind/size of pump and then they went and got it. They replaced it and used clamps instead of gluing/cementing it to attach the pump to the line pipe. They said they were doing that so it wouldn't have to be cut to remove the pump the next time it goes out (which hopefully will be a long time). They tested it (there was no water in the uphill line so no pressure) and it worked fine and they said the company would send us a bill. The only problem was that once there was water and pressure in the uphill line, a few days later (on a Saturday), one of the clamps came loose and the alarm came in again. However, my husband was able to fix it so we didn't have to call them on the weekend (although I don't think they would have charged us). It has been working fine ever since. (Knock on wood - don't want to tempt fate). If it comes loose again, we will call them back to come and glue/cement the connections. I still gave them an A on the quality as it wasn't really the installers' fault that the clamp came loose, but hopefully, this review will help them know what to look out for on future jobs.

The plumber arrived on time, quickly got to work, using a drain cleaning machine. There were apparently clogs in several places beneath the basement, so he needed to several passes through the pipe before the drain ran well. He worked over an hour on the job and did not stop until I expressed full satisfaction with the rate of drainage. He was polite and professional.

I originally contacted this company to complete some rather minor plumbing repairs; needed to have two leaky bath tub faucets fixed. I called their number to set up an appointment which went smoothly (we were able to get an appointment quickly). Thats the only thing positive I have to say about this company. The gentleman that came out to make the repairs was friendly but was not even able to complete the repair. He advised that he could not remove a part and didnt want to break it since he did not have a replacement part, which was appreciated. He told us that the part would be ordered and that someone would contact us to schedule the repairs...we are still waiting on that call a nearly two months later. I also noticed that he damaged one of the faucets taking it apart. Thankfully we were able to find someone else to complete the repairs and ironically they were able to remove everything and make the repair without any problems.

Response from Sparrow & Sons Plumbing & Heating
We would first and formost like to apologize to (deleted member name) for not being able to get the job done, and also apologize for any incovenience we may have caused her. There are times when we do not have parts for faucets or fixtures.. This was the case here. In this case we would normally charge a 1/2 of a service call, get the part ordered, and come back to install it and charge the other 1/2 of the service call. We did find the part and get it ordered, and tried to call (deleted member name) back with no luck. Sarice was never billed in any way for the work we did there, not even a partial fee. We are one of the few companies who do not demand payment, at least a trip fee of some kind to even come to the house. When (deleted member name) never called back, we assumed she had it taken care of, but we still never billed her even a trip fee. We are very glad for (deleted member name) the problem has been resolved, and are sorry that we could not fix it when we were there. That is something we never want to do is leave a job undone. We wish, as with all of our customers, that issues like this or any any issues for that matter could be resoved in a different manner than this, but all we can do is react. Any credible company wants to do a good job for their customers, no matter what size the job. If there are problems with our work, we will make it right if we are given the chance. Sometimes the mistake may be by the office, sometimes by the man in the field, sometimes by myself. In any event, we apologize for making the error, and if given the chance, will go above and beyond to make it right. That is the wat this compnay has and always will be ran, with the customer in mind. Jonathan Sparrow

Sparrow and Son did a great job for us as usual. They arrived on time and quickly and cleanly opened a small hole in the ceiling so they could inspect the problem. They showed and informed us of the issues and made very specific recommendations of the work that needed to be done and which service provider was " the best" in the area to coordinate the work with them. Indeed the other service provider has been by already. We are on a schedule and expect the project to be done correctly and professionally.

The repair man actually came a few minutes early. He was very courteous and knowledgable. There was really no choice in options. My water heater needed to be replaced. He told me how much it would cost and asked if I wanted to proceed. He took care of everything: disconnected the old water heater and hauled it away and replaced it with a brand new water heater. He explained what had happened. He described the new heater and how to take cae of it. Overall I was very happy. A couple drawbacks: I had to wait a day to get the service, and it was expensive.
Description of Work: Diagnosed the problem with my home water heater. Advised me as to the best options for replacing it. Replaced the heater with a new one.
