Everything was fine, excellent work A bit pricey but other than that and a minor glitch in scheduling I was happy. I would likely use them again but might look for someone a bit cheaper.

John Mayo did an excellent job for me. He was very careful not to track mud into the house. He explained every option available to me with great patience. His people skills are as good as his plumbing abilities. Anyone would be lucky to have him service their home.

The two techs, Darryl and Issac were great. They were not your typical repairmen. They were clean, prompt, courteous, easy to talk to, friendly, and did great work. They called before they came, arrived within the allotted time frame, and gave me an estimate. They were very patient as I decided on the estimate even commenting that they "were at my home until I said they could go" and would do as much or as little as I wanted. They were not rushed at all. Often with other companies, you get the idea they're trying to hurry up and get out of your house as quick as possible. Not these guys! I have used Michael and Sons in the past, and they are wonderful. They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. If you're trying to save money and hope to get good work on the cheap call someone else and take a chance. There's no worry with Michael & Sons. They are the best contractor I've ever dealt with. They are respectful of you and your property...so stop reading my review and hire them!

Excellent service, both electrical and plumbing. The technicians, Jasper and Pete were professional,competent,efficient and personable. They answered all questions and concerns and made sure we were able to use savings on Angie's List. They also cleaned the work area before leaving .

I bought the deal through Angie's List. I contacted Michael and Sons for an appointment. After some correspondence we settled on a date and time. James came to conduct the water quality inspection. He was very professional and used disposable footies over his shoes. He checked all the faucets, toilets, water outlets, inside and out as well as the sewer hook up. He went under the house to check drains and pipes. He did water quality tests on a basic set of substances from the tap. Overall it took him about 2.5 hours to finish. While he was here he also checked the water pressure on the outside faucets. He fixed (for free!) one of the outside water bibs that had come loose from the house. Overall a great buy and well worth it. I'd recommend them and call them again.

I had been told by an electrician that I couldn't have a light in this closet or an outlet in the foyer, but Michael & Son's John Webb had no trouble tying this into an outside electrical line in my crawl space. All work was done with more professionalism than I have ever experienced. The professionalism was evident from the first when the M&S representative laid down a company door mat with the M&S logo at my front door and put protective booties over his shoes. It was also evident in the fast, efficient way the work was performed, leaving nothing for me to clean up. Unlike other professionals I have had work for me, the M&S workman tested everything he had installed to be sure it was in perfect working order.
Description of Work: Installed a new outlet in cabinet under sink and a new outlet in the foyer as well as a light in a closet.

Michael & Son is an incredibly expensive company and I will never use them again. They don't respect my time, they showed up 4 hours late. They don't do hourly pricing, but they bill per project. That translates into $200/hr labor for simple electrical work, replacing old electric switches with new ones that I bought at a big box store. After all, customers have to pay for Mercedes trucks and TV and radio advertising. If you stop ripping off your customers, and stop worrying so much about advertising, you may even get some repeat customers.

We were quoted the $3600 for them to run 15 ft of new pipe from just under our crawl space to the septic also putting in a two way clean out. We had another plumber come out and he snaked our pipe and discovered there should be another lid for clean out for our septic tank other than the one with the pump. After poking around in the ground for a few minutes he found the lid and when we opened it the tank was completely full which was over the line that ran to it from the house not allowing anything to drain. He charged us $100 for coming out snaking the line and finding the problem. We had someone come out and pump the septic for $245 and everything is working great. So for $345 everything was done not $3600. Not only was their quote OUTRAGEOUS but if they had come out and dug where they wanted to it would have busted our septic tank. Our tank was not 15 ft it was about 4 ft from our foundation. So overall their tech that came out had no idea what he was doing and the estimate was crazy high even for the small amount of work the wanted to do. We had two other quotes to do what they wanted to do one was $700 the other was $850. I called the company to express my displeasure and they seemed to just blow it off. I would never recommend this company to anyone for anything. On November 7, 2014 Mr. Rizkallah (General Manager) called to inquire about the negative experience we had. He was very polite and apologetic and has since taken care of the situation. While we can't rate the quality of their work, I have to say that they do take these reviews very seriously and we were quite impressed that he took the time to call us personally. They do seem to value their customers and their opinions. I appreciate this kind of commitment from a business. Thank-you again Mr. Rizkallah for reaching out to us!

Thank you for your honest feedback. I would like to apologize as you did not receive the Michael & Son experience and what sounds like it could have been a catastrophic misdiagnosis. I am starting a full investigation internally to see how this happened and to make sure something like this never happens again. I would like to circle back with you early next week to discuss my findings and your experience in more detail. Please do not hesitate to call me personally in the meantime.

Technician arrived on-time and we walked through items that I needed to have completed. Also, asked him about other potential items to be considered in the Deal of the day. We finally settled on him just installing the ceiling fan. He was very thorough and throughout the consultation continued to explain how they always focus on quality of work. He finally started the actual work after reviewing the payments and coupon from the 'deal of the day' approximately 30 minutes after arriving. I had set aside time (2 hours) for him to complete the work and also to be around to answer any questions. I also let him know that I needed for him to be completed by a certain time. He did complete the work, but I question the level of quality. The ceiling fan works great, but the clean-up was questionable. I found cut wires, screws and washers after he left that I had to clean up.

Called about asking someone to check if a prior leak on the second floor was still leaking and requested that the person that came had a moisture tester. I would told they would but when they showed up they did not have it. Despite this I was happy with the other aspects of what the person did (visually inspected some areas and applied a seal to some areas. Rated a B because I requested someone with a moisture meter!

We have a service contract with them. They came out to service our units. We requested that they send CHARLIE FOSTER. He has been to my home twice. My wife and I so pleased with the quality of his work. This servicing was assisted with an associate, THOMAS COYLE. Both men were experienced and were meticulous in performing their duties. There was a problem and one of the units need a replacement part. The part would arrive the following day and they were here bright and early to complete the job. They wouldn't leave till the job was perfect. They were clean and neat and left the attic in better shape than they found it. I would highly recommend Michael and Son for your home heating and A/C problems. If you're lucky maybe you will get Charlie and Thomas. I have always requested Charlie and so far have been successful. They were just great.

To start out, we had some rescheduling that had to happen for some emergencies at other customers. Totally understandable, but the electrician, Darryl Robinson, went out of his way to communicate what was going on and to come up with a back up plan with his manager that worked for us. Sad to say, that kind of customer service is not common these days When he came for the job, he was on time and handled it faster than I expected with a great explanation of what was going on with the problem fans. In my work, I have dealt with many many electricians and I have to say that this was one of the most competent, knowledgeable, professional, and personable that I've ever run across. If the rest of Michael and Son's staff are as good as Darryl, then you can't go wrong with them.

We are very pleased with the job done in our bathroom by Michael and son. We had an old shower head replaced by a rain head showerhead, and a hand-held showerhead and a slide bar added. The job was somewhat tricky and complex because of the position of the shower and the fact that the dry wall had to be cut. The technician who performed the job, Adam, did an outstanding job. He went over all the details prior the actual job and answered all my questions and gave me good advice and recommendations. The job was an all day job, and when it was complete we were extremely satisfied with the results. Everything was done exactly how we wanted it. This is the 4th time we used Michael and son and we were pleased with all the previous jobs done by them. They are responsive and prompt answering calls and following up. They are not cheap, but the prices were comparable or more favorable compared to other quotes we got. Also, I like that they take the time to answer questions and explain things. In addition to their technicians being knowledgeable and experienced, I think that they truly treat the customer with respect by being punctual, responsive and trying to provide the best solutions. We will be using them again.
