Ken's response time and communication was excellent, this was not an emergency repair but he still came to my place to fix the problem on a Saturday which I appreciate! Ken answered his phone promptly each time I called which is also important. I can see why the provider as a A+ rating on Angies list. I also received 10% off for being a first time Angies list customer.

Ken was awesome! He called me the morning of my scheduled service to let my know when he would be arriving. He and his helper Scott were polite and patient. They came in, looked at the shower, listened to my description, and got right down to work. Ken was thorough and neat, double checking everything. We had some parts that needed replacing and some missing gaskets which he took care of quickly. He also answered my questions about a future plumbing project. I would most definitely use him again! Thank you Ken!

Ken was very professional & friendly. Very easy to talk to. He explained everything in detail before doing the work & explained why he was doing things in a certain way. Took the time to answer my questions until I felt 100% confident in what was being done & why. Ken & Scott worked quickly & efficiently together until they completed the project. The water line installed is out of the way & not even noticeable unless you go looking for it. A+++++ work!! My new refrigerator with the water & ice maker have been working perfectly. Will definitely hire for any plumbing issues in the future
Description of Work: We bought a new refrigerator with a water filter & ice maker. We needed a water line installed in order for us to connect our new refrigerator up in order to use the new features.

This went very well, they showed up when they said they would be here. I really liked the fact they gave me time to explain what was going on and what I had tried myself. They went right to work after that explaining to me the possible problems and what they where doing to try and determine the root cause. The finally solution was using an auger to clear pipes which they did very well. Its been a about a week and the clog has not returned.

This was my first experience with Pierce Plumbing, who I decided to use based on his Angie's List reviews. Ken arrived on time with his helper and had cleared the clogged drain in less than an hour. When I spoke with him on the phone to schedule the call, he had quoted me a $29.00 service call fee + $110./hr. for two men. He charged me a total cost of $65.00 for the call. I had planned to use the 5% discount coupon I had from Angie's list; however his cost was so reasonable that I did not use it./ We are considering having him back to replace our kitchen sink. Based on my initial experience, I would certainly recommend him.

Ken came out as promised and looked at the job to be done. Due to an emergency call he received to fix a frozen water pipe due to frigid temperatures, he was an hour past the service call time however he called twice to keep us informed of his estimated arrival. He did not want to charge us the service call fee of $39.00 due to being late. Just because of his integrity and sincerity we paid him for his time. Ken told us how we could get a new kitchen faucet by calling the manufacturer since he believed it was still under warranty. He could of sold us one but instead he saved us $200.00. On the service date, Ken was punctual and arrived with a helper due to the tight space he had to work with. He completed the job in an hour and thirty minutes. His charge was extremely reasonable. From previous inquiries, we expected to pay a lot more. This man is very honest and reasonable and I would not hesitate to use him again. I highly recommend Ken Pierce for any of your plumbing needs.

We think we were overcharged for the work. He worked extremely slowly and we have been advised from a couple of other plumbers what they would charge for that work and their estimates were considerably lower. We are not happy with the work because he told us that the expansion tank for the well would improve our water pressure and it did not. He also tried to sell us something that was a lot more expensive that he said would help our water pressure.

Response from Artisan Plumbing & Heating
We are sorry to Hear Mr [member name removed]was not 100 percent satisfied with our service. His Well expansion tank was undersized for his home and was completely flat. This would have have caused a poor pressure condition, not to mention shorten his submersible pump life. We also increased his pressure 10 psi at the source by installing a higher pressure switch. We explained to him we needed to start with this problem before we could look further into the issue.We did recommend a alternative resolution by installing a constant pressure drive system that eliminated his expansion tank problem. Given the options he chose the tank. We recommended water treatment due to a high iron condition. We returned for service on another issue at a later date to hook up his kitchen sink and was not aware he was not satisfied. We are sorry he did not contact us to resolve the issue and finish the job. We feel our price was reasonable.

I had a leak from my upstairs shower coming through the kitchen ceiling. Plumber came out the next day, quickly identified the problem, which thankfully was minor, needed to replace the the part that switches the water flow from the tub faucet to the shower. He did not have the appropriate size for my shower so went to the store for one,. He returned and replaced the part. I asked if he could look at the downstairs shower as well as it was leaking around the shower head, he repaired that as well. Price was reasonable, he was thorough and efficient, cleaned up after the job. Highly recommended.

I chose Pierce because they seemed to have the best Angie's List reviews. Ken showed up on Friday to give an etimate, and by Tuesday he and Mike had installed a brand new water heater as well as a new gas line for the stove that I had previously bought. Even offered to help carry the stove from the garage to to kitchen! Great communication throughout, and job was executed like clockwork. They left my basement cleaner than it was when they arived. If you're looking courteous, professional, hastle-free plumbing work, definitely give them a ring!

Found Ken on Angie's List, he called me back promptly, I described what I wanted done and scheduled an appointment. Ken called before appointment time to verify appointment, showed up on time with helper. Worked efficiently and cleaned up all of work area. Being an older home, the installation was in a tight space. It required careful measuring, adding shutoff valves and was anything but a routine install. He took old sink with him. Very pleased with results, already have another small plumbing job I will call him for. Don B. Nashua, NH

The work required two visits. The first was to fix the garbage disposal and the second was to work on the three valves. The leak was quickly repaired but re-attaching the disposal lead to another issue due to a broken fitting on the unit from the initial installation. Ken was able to fix the issue avoiding having to order a replacement part from the manufacture. Overall Ken did a great job and was very reasonable on the total cost. I also appreciated the time he took to answer any questions I had regarding the work being done and/or other general questions.

I had a 27 year old gas boiler that worked, but was very inefficient, and had served beyond it's useful service life. Having had a good experience with Pierce Plumbing before, I called him to talk about a new boiler. I wanted a high-efficiency boiler, so Ken helped me with my choices, and I ended up going with a Triangle Tube 96.5% efficient gas boiler. Ken gave me his price, which was more than I thought, but once we got into the project, it became clear that it was much more work than I originally thought. We agreed on the price and a start date, and Ken gave me his estimate of a completion date. Due to potential unknowns that could be discovered while in the midst of the project, Ken gave me a range of a few days for a completion date, with a start date of Friday, and a completion date no later then the next Friday. Ken and his team showed up on the first day (a Friday), and removed the old boiler and some of the old plumbing. They delivered the new boiler, and did some planning for the install, which would start on the following Monday. On Monday, the team showed up, and got started. There were of course issues along the way, but the team got through them all. They had some challenges with the venting, and with the condensate removal line, but they figured it all out. They worked very hard, and were always willing to talk to me and explain what they were doing, and why. I ended up with a very neat and professional looking job which was completed on schedule on Friday. Even the inspector said it was a very nice installation. The inspection passed with no issues at all. I had one very minor issue, the check valves were left open (which is apparently how they come from the factory), so when one zone turned on, the hot water went to both zones. I called Ken, and he showed up right away on Monday, and fixed it within minutes. Now that the weather is colder, I've had a chance to see how the boiler works. It does an excellent job at keeping the house at a very stable temperature. It is properly sized, and it has no issue with heating both zones. The boiler is very sophisticated, and I look forward to signficantly lower gas bills in the future. Overall, it was an excellent experience. Ken helped with the selection, he and his team worked h****** the removal of the old boiler and install of the new one, and they did a great job.

Ken showed up when he said he would, investigated the issue, figured out what I did wrong, removed my mistake, and replumbed the feed to the toilet so that it only used cold water.
Description of Work: I had a toilet in the second floor bathroom that had a mixing valve installed so that hot and cold water were used to fill the toilet tank. This was done to avoid condensation on the tank in the summer. I wanted to remove it because it seemed like a waste of gas and hot water, so I tried to do it myself, and ended up mixing hot and cold water through all fixtures in the house, so I decided to call a professional. I found Ken on Angie's list, and called him. He was very responsive, and showed up when he said he would. He figured out the problem, and fixed it. He did a nice neat job, cleaned everything up afterwords, and was very professional and courteous.

I had 3 jobs to be done - outside faucet and 2 tub/shower valves. No rough estimate over the phone. I called and scheduled a visit for following Thursday; he called on Wednesday to delay the Thursday appointment by 2 hours. ( Not I problem - I had said up front that my schedule was flexible.) Estimate was much higher than expected, so I had him do only the outside faucet. Work was quick and efficient, repaired faucet works fine. Good workmanship, left things in good order, no mess left behind. MIGHT use again based on good workmanship - but price was very high.

Our appointment was scheduled for 10am. At 9:55 he called to say he was just leaving Manchester. Around 11:15 I called to see where he was and if he was still coming but he didn't pick up so I left a voicemail. At 11:30, he finally showed up which is clearly an hour and a half late. He came in too look at the areas where he would be doing work. We spent about 10 minutes looking at the 2 areas. He then went back out to his truck where he proceeded to talk on the phone for 10 minutes. After he was done with his phone call he came back to the door and told me that he would need to contact the building department to make sure the house was up to code. Keep in mind, he's charging $92 per hour. This is really starting to drag out and my feeling is that he is doing work outside of the scope of things that are necessary. This house is new construction and was just CO'd this year, so I know that it is up to code and told him such. At that point, he tells me that he has a family emergency and has to leave. So he left. Would NOT recommend this guy to anybody. I took my morning off of work to make sure this was done and now I'm just behind on work and still don't have a dryer or garbage disposal that work. Waste of time.

Response from Artisan Plumbing & Heating
This type of review is very hard for our company to hear,especially because we strive to offer the best customer service. we scheduled a appointment with lauren page between 10 am and 12 am and arrived in that time frame. We saw a dryer vent going up through a ceiling into a attic through a ceiling.When we said we would have to inspect the vent in the attic she was very displeased and said her unit was just inspected.We also questioned the material of the vent being used.We went out to our truck and called the Hudson building department who reffered us to the hudson fire department.They said the person in charge of gas fitting and appliance would need to call us back. We explained this to lauren page and said we would need to reschedule the work.Later that day we recieved word from the fire department that a gas appliance vent would not have been inspected by them but should be done by a licensed gas technician following the rules of the nfpa code.We are licensed gas technicians under the state fire marshall.Our first priority is our customers safety.Gas appliances produce carbon monoxide. We never charged her anything for our visit or did any business with her.We have many satisfied customers.

Last evening our garbage disposal failed. I tried to fix it but could not. I checked Angie's List and selected Pierce Plumbing & Heating based upon 23 very positive reviews. Ken Pierce called me back within 2 hours, we made an appointment and he arrived on schedule. It took 1-1/2 hours to replace the defective disposal. My only complaint was his prices. He marked up the disposal by almost 100% (per an Amazon price) and his hourly rate was $92. This seems very high to me. All this being said, If I require a plumber in the future I would call Ken but negotiate very h****** price.
