Very well. Bill S (one of the owners) came over an consulted on the best way to achieve our goal. He indicated that they've done lots of this type of project and their work certainly showed it. His advice was so valuable in laying out the room and making other decisions. Once we had the permit, they were right over to break the floor and plumb in the waste lines to our existing lines. I anticipated that was going to be a big, messy job. However, they had that done in a few hours with zero residual mess. After the inspection was complete they were back right away to close up the floor with new concrete, allowing my construction contractor to get to work. Once the room was framed out, Anthony & Billy were right back to do the rough in plumbing which took about 5 hours. Again, no mess at all. The rough-in inspections passed with no complaints. Once we were ready for the final work (toilet & vanity install), they were back promptly and completed all that with no fuss, no muss. We are so pleased with the finished product.
Description of Work: We decided to add a 1/2 bath to our basement. We needed a plumber to handle all the plumbing work. This included finding a way to install a toilet (always the hardest part) as well as the above grade rough-in plumbing for a vanity and also a utility sink. Finally, of course, we needed the finish work done (toilet & vanity installation).

My hot water heater tank broke on a Sunday when Chapman was closed. I called and left a message-despite is being a Sunday and the business being closed, I received a call back a couple hours later. While I didn't use Chapman, having made other arrangements, I very much appreciated their responsiveness. Many thanks.

I had a concern that my water in my shower started to smell after the warm water had been running for a period of time while taking a shower. The technician quickly concluded that the smell was likely due to debris in the drain. He removed the drain cover (two screws) and then proceeded to push the debris in the drain, further down the drain with his flat head screwdriver to "clean" the drain. He then replaced the drain cover. The entire visit took approximately 15 minutes. To my surprise and with NOT being told upfront, this "cleaning" cost me $63. I understood the upfront service fee of $69 but to then be charged an additional $63 without being asked the following - "The drain needs to be cleaned. I can clean it for you by taking my flat head screw driver and pushing the debris down into the drain. This will cost $63. Would you like me to proceed?" My answer would have been NO WAY.

Dear Member, We are very sorry for this incident. You are 100% accurate and just in your complaint. Although the charge of $63.00 is correct, the fact that the technician did not make you aware of the charge and that he was moving forward with the work is what is unacceptable. Please know that this is not how Chapman Bros. operates. We strive to provide quality and professional service at a fair price. We also guarantee 100% satisfaction and clearly you are dissatisfied. We acknowledge and respect this so therefore, we have processed a refund check in the amount of $63.00. We hope that you would provide us an opportunity to prove ourselves again, I know you will not be disappointed. Best, Your friends at Chapman Bros. Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning

Response from Chapman Bros. Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning
First let me begin by stating that you called our office for a price on replacing handles on two shower faucets. It is basically impossible for us or any other plumbing company to provide you with an estimate on your request of replacing two shower faucets without seeing or knowing what was involved with the replacement. We explained this when you called to make an appointment and explained our Service Fee charge then. We do not charge for estimates for larger jobs such as Boilers, Furnaces, Central Air Conditioning, Sewer Lines, Bathroom, Kitchen Renovations, Generators, etc. I could understand your feeling "ripped off" if we showed up at your door and demanded $69.00 from you after you were told it was a free estimate. However, this is not what happened. You called and stated you wanted to schedule a service call and replace the handles on your shower faucets. We advised you at this time of our billing policy, when you were quite rude to our office staff and then proceeded to hang up. Your anger with this situation is quite puzzling when all we were was honest. We also feel that your F rating on Punctuality, Professionalism, Responsiveness and Quality are unfair, as we were not even provided the opportunity to prove ourselves in those areas, as all you did was make a phone call and hang up on us. We at Chapman Bros. Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning work very hard to be upfront and honest with our customers and prospective customers as on the Angie's List Page for Chapman we are very clear and state we charge a $69.00 Service Fee. So between what we list on the Angie's List page and our conversation on the phone when booking an appointment it is very clear and there is no room for misunderstanding with regards to the service fee charge of $69.00. We are sorry that you feel that you were ripped off, this is not and never is our intent at Chapman Bros. Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning.

Chris and Jon showed up on time and were very neat and professional. Chris looked at the furnace and gave me a rundown of what the problem could be as well as the worst case scenario. He was very upfront with potential costs for all scenarios. He proceeded to diagnose the issue to find out why the LIMIT SWITCH was open. He didn't want to take the entire unit apart, unless he had to, as it would be costly. It was eventually determined that rusted debris from the exhaust flue had gotten into the unit. The gas valve was also malfunctioning. They replaced the corroded section of the flue, cleaned out the burner and air handler, replaced the gas valve and repaired a frayed wire. Fortunately, it turned out to be a somewhat "minor" repair and not a larger problem. What I liked the most is that they were upfront and honest about pricing and what work was being performed. There was no up-sell on maintenance plans/contracts (although the company does offer them.) I would absolutely recommend them. I used them for minor plumbing as well and was very happy. I plan on using Chapman to install my water heater, next.
Description of Work: My 15yr/old forced air furnace needed to be repaired. The fan would remain on (although the thermostat was set to AUTO not ON). When the thermostat was on and called for heat, the burners never kicked on. According to the LED lights on the circuit board, the LIMIT SWITCH was open. I called Chapman and made an appointment for today.

The tech came and told us everything we knew already regarding the HVAC and was unable to do anything with the fireplace, stating we need an expert. Upon his departure, I was given a bill for for over $140, explaining that $69 was just to come to the door and the evaluation was additional. I called the woman I originally spoke to for an explanation. She was rude and told me I was wrong. I'm beside myself and feel ripped off. They've lost any future business with us and will spread the word in this small town.
Description of Work: I got a quote over the phone for $69 to come out to the house. I was also told that if anything needed to get done, the $69 would be subtracted from the total fee. I wanted an HVAC and gas fire place evaluation. Specifically, whether redirecting forced air to other portions of the house and assessing proper installation, igniting pilot, and excess gas smell coming from the fireplace.

Response from Chapman Bros. Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning
Chapman Bros. Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning would like to thank you for contacting us for service. We are very sorry that you were not satisfied with the evaluation which was done. However, I feel the facts should be stated clearly: You called our office on [Member Information Removed]/14/17 and scheduled an appointment for [Member Information Removed]/17/17 for the following issues; HVAC evaluation of uneven heating throughout the home as well as checking the gas fireplace for leaks. When you called for the appointment you were made aware of the $69.00 service fee verbally and it was explained this is a separate service fee which we charge and it is NOT deducted from work that would possibly get done. This is not only made clear on the phone when the appointment is made, it is also clearly stated on our Angie's List website listing and our own website. All our phone calls are recorded at Chapman Bros. and I reviewed both phone calls made to our office. The first one when you made appointment and it was very clearly stated by our office staff that there was a separate service fee 0f $69.00 and the technician would then give you an estimate of any work that would need to be done before moving forward. You actually signed the invoice of work and or evaluation to be done before doing it with the pricing listed. Our technician was there for approximately 1 hour. During this time he evaluated your HVAC issue and made sure all dampers were open in the attic. He advised closing registers for LR because of the heat loss in the high ceilings. By doing this heat would be redirected from the rest of the 2nd floor. Your second issue was the gas fireplace. The technician evaluation found that the Ignitor was not hooked up. He then attached the wire and turned the fireplace on and found a gas smell going thru home. He advised you to contact the builder as the issue was due to improper venting and should be under warranty from the builder. You were charged $69.00 Service Fee as discussed on phone and in person by technician, you signed for that as well as the minimum charge to evaluated heating and connect wire for fireplace. We are very sorry for your feeling you were ripped off, however nothing we did or charged you was or is a secret. We do not operate that way and would not be in business since 1932 if we did. All our phone calls are recorded and after reviewing both phone calls you made to the office we found that the office staff did in fact state clearly the service fee charge and she did in fact state that it did NOT get deducted from any work that would be done. Appt was made. After your appt. you called the office arguing with the office staff and not even giving her an opportunity to explain once again to you the Service fee charge. The technician and office staff both felt your tone was disrespectful. We are very sorry for your dissatisfaction with our service, this is not our intent. We work very hard to be clear, forthright and perform work at the highest standard. We welcome you to come by and listen to the phone recording of your call to clarify any questions or misunderstandings you may have. Best, Chapman Bros. Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning.

After 14 years, the single-handle faucet on our kitchen sink broke. The handle broke off. I was going to repair it myself. I bought a new faucet and sprayer from Home Depot. Upon further review, I realized I needed a professional. I called Chapman, after reading good reviews on Angie's List as well as recommendations from my neighborhood FB group. One of their plumbers was there the same day. He quoted us a price, which seemed fair. We authorized the work. It was done within an hour. He was very courteous, friendly and professional. I plan on hiring them again for our next project: Water Heater replacement.

The provider quoted me a cost of $69.95 to have someone come out and look at a leaky drain pipe in my basement, after which I would be given an estimate. The dispatch cost would remain and not be waived, even if the work was done by Chapman. I asked around and this is not a common practice, or at least not one that my neighbors are familiar with. Even auto body shops and the like waive the cost of an estimate if you do the work with them. My HVAC repair people (Meyer & Depew) charges for dispatches but folds the dispatch cost into the actual work to be performed. I did not book the service. While I was unhappy with the charge, the person I spoke with was nothing but polite and professional and was respectful of my decision to not proceed. I would consider using Chapman Bros. in the future if this charge was either not a factor or waived if work was performed.

Thank you very much for contacting Chapman Bros. Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning. While we are sorry that we were not chosen to perform the work you needed because of our $69.00 Service Fee, we would like to bring some information to light. Yes, you are correct that we do not apply that fee to the work, should chose to have the work done. As you indicated we are very upfront regarding the fee, we would also like to mention that you are correct in that come companies do no charge a service fee. However, most include it in the work they perform. Being in the industry we are well aware of how many business collect this fee, which I may add is anywhere from $69.00 to $199.00. All of these charges are built into the total cost, basically hidden, leaving the customer totally unaware of this. We at Chapman have no hidden cost and choose to make the customer aware of this fee up front. Without getting to longwinded, we charge this fee for many business reasons. For example, health insurance costs, liability ins., salaries (as our technicians are not salesmen and are paid a salary, not commission, etc. Thank you again and we hope that should you need any service in the future you might afford us the opportunity to prove ourselves.

Update: Received a call from Chapman a few days later saying they lost their calendar of appointments in a phone mishap, which I can buy, but who doesnt have an automatic backup of their calendar these days. I would have liked their rep ask me if and when they could reschedule, but that was never offered. However, they were very apologetic and I may reach out to them again in the future for an estimate.
Description of Work: Called and scheduled an inspection for replacement of my basement hvac ductwork. Confirmed the inspection for Monday at 5:00pm. The day of, I received no call to reschedule and the inspector did not show. I also did not receive a call since requesting them to reschedule. If you cant get basic rescheduling procedures down if you cant make the appointment as a contractor, how could I expect you to actually perform the work in a timely manner?

Unfortunately, this was given to one of the owners here and during the bad snowstorm his phone was destroyed and when trying to retrieve all his contacts and calendar information unfortunately many appts and contacts were lost. I know this may sound like an excuse. However, it is factual and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have cause. At Chapman Bros. we work very hard at having each and every client happy. This is our goal and again this was definitely a unfortunate incident. I did look further into our notes and did not receive any call from you inquiring why no one came. I understand that it is our responsibility to make appts., however in this case if we would have received a call asking why we were not there, we would have had the opportunity to explain. Other than seeing this review, quite frankly we would never had known we missed the appt. as it was lost when the info and calendar info was lost. Sorry again for any misunderstanding and hope that you understand and we can prove ourselves to be reliable if given the opportunity. Best, Chapman Bros.

Our sewer line clogged Christmas Day so that any sink or toilet use would result in waste water backing up into the basement. We thought we would be forced to spend Christmas in a hotel and wait for a plumber to become available, perhaps having to wait for a few days until Monday. Incredibly Chapman responded to our call on December 25th, and in about an hour a workman (Anthony) was here and within 90 minutes had cleared the sewer line to the street. An incredible job - our family was very grateful for Anthony & Chapman! Yet another reason why we will only call Chapman when we have any plumbing, heat, or AC issue.

I was doing some renovations to my sink, and I had an old metal P-trap that was very difficult to remove. It was clogged but slowly draining...yet would be a problem if I hadn't removed the clog entirely. I tried snaking the P-trap with mixed results and I didn't want to spend any more time on it. I called Chapman Bros and was hoping to get them the same day, the receptionist left it open to see if they could come today, if not, then Monday or I'd have to call again for emergency service on Saturday at a higher service fee. As it worked out, they were able to come the same afternoon and they called 20 min before the tech was able to arrive. I showed him the problem and he gave me a quote. I knew it wasn't going to be inexpensive but he quoted me a fair price right on the spot. I said go ahead. He replaced the P-trap and cleared the clog, tested it and everything worked well. I'm very glad I don't have to look at that stupid dysfunctional P-trap anymore. He was extremely helpful, the work was top notch and was done in a very short period of time at a good price. Amazing service and a great job! I wish I could give Chapman Bros an A+...I will contact them again when I redo my upstairs bathroom. Thank you Jim

The services went very well. They were neat and efficient. He used copper piping which I preferred. They also gave me an Angie's List discount. Due to the size of the job I directly dealt the owner which I preferred.
Description of Work: He replaced two sumps pumps, and added a water commander.
