Arrived 1 1/2 hrs. late without explanation. Called office to enquire where they were and was told "They'll be there when they get there!". Very rude phone person. Ran out of torch gas (in 3 tanks) half way through job and had to borrow a torch from me to finish soldering.

I had the worst experience today. I explained the requirements - light that stays on from dusk to dawn in the porch. I would supply the materials. They came by and quoted a number for the job and started the work. HALF WAY through the job they tell me the fixture I have will not work as expected. My expectation: they would have checked materials and confirmed they would be able to do the job as expected. What they said: if the materials is provided by the customer they just do labor(!!!!) and I had provided the wrong part and they would charge me extra to put the original fixture they had taken down back up!!!! I hired them for their EXPERTISE not just labor. Apparently if they don't "make money on the supplies" they do not provide the expertise!!!
Description of Work: Replace light fixtures in the porch and inside the house.

Installing customer supplied materials is always a risk. We provide a price based on what they have before anything is taken apart. Once something is disassembled issues may arise that are visible otherwise. When we supply materials the responsibility is all ours. When the materials are supplied by the customer the responsiblity for those materials is the homeowner. It is our responsibility to provide a professional opinion if the mateials will work. Unfortunitally it is not always clear before the work starts.

He arrived promptly and worked quickly and efficiently.
Description of Work: Brian snaked a clogged kitchen drain ($189), replaced the pipe from the sink drain to the trap which was deteriorating ($169), and installed a new kitchen faucet (Moen - $369). He cleaned up after himself. We have used Dolan's for years. I feel their rates are too high but they are nearby, know the quirks of the houses in our development, and I've always been happy with their work.

We were upfront with the saying it was not cost effective for them to pay us to travel to their home because of travel time. They would be better off chosing someone closer. I am not sure how that warrants an F rating.

Could not have been better. Jack Nolan and Sons were outstanding.
Description of Work: My air conditioner fan motor burned out just as the summer heat began to go up. I called Jack Nolan & Son, which I found on Angie's List. They came within the hour, (50 mins.). The problem was diagnosed and the repairman schuduled to return the next day from 10:00to 12 noon. He showed up at 9:55am the next day. I can't say enough about how pleased I was with the service, price, and promptness of this company. I have lived in New Jersey for 16 years. It is by far the best experience I have had with a service company. I highly recommend them.T.B.Somerset, NJ.

Very happy with the work that was done by Jack Dolan's plumbers. I needed to replace a whole house water filter and I also requested an estimate to replace two outside water faucets (spigots). They provided me with an estimate for the entire job as well as a separate cost for each task before the work was started. Mike (the head plumber, who normally comes with a trainee), also installed three shut-off valves inside the house for the filter and faucets which is going to make my life easier. I've heard that the company is a bit high cost-wise but I'm at the point where I trust the plumbers and electricians that I don't even bother to get another estimate for work that needs to be done in my home. It is always very easy to get a convenient appointment, the workers are always on time, professional, and I've never had an issue with any of the work done. I would recomment Jack Dolan and Sons for any plumbing work.

I was very pleased with them. I found them on Angie's List, so I expected to be satisfied and I was. They were punctual. There were two men, a plumber and his helper. They were very polite. They made sure that they did not make a mess. They put down mats and were careful with what they touched. They were very thorough and very careful. They made sure that everything they did was done properly. They treated the place as if it was their own. They might have been slightly expensive, but they did good work and they did several different things. At this point, I was more worried about good work, instead of saving a few bucks. I would not hesitate to use them again for electrical work or plumbing work again. I would probably ask for the same individuals out.

Two individuals came to my home - one was an apprentice, the other a licensed plumber. He was very meticulous, careful, thorough and clean. He put down mats and plastic to make sure there wasn't any mess even though he wasn't making a mess. He didn't leave until I was completely satisfied. The gentleman was very pleasant to deal with.

It had to be redone. I disliked it. I hired somebody else to do it. I had used them three times and this was the third job that had to be reworked. It wasn’t craftsmen like work. They sent out apprentices to do the work and they didn’t know what they were doing. They weren’t professional. I would not recommend them to others and I would definitely not use them again.

Not sure how to respond to this. The dishwasher work was done in the end of December 2006. I have no record of a complaint or recall on this work. We than did another job for the same family in August of 2007 without any complaints. We have not been to the home since 2007.

They were very competitive and they were really top notch. We are currently in the permit process so they won the job. They were prompt. The only problem was that they only did their estimation between 8-5 pm so I had to be home. They have experience working in this building. I live in a high rise condo and the building inspector is sort of a pain in the neck. They came right after I called them and they were on time. They were great.

My father, who is a senior, has had leaks, washing-machine difficulties, and a freezing-cold house. I get the emergency calls from his caretaker. I'm in Minnesota, so I have to find a repair person by long-distance. We need someone who will go there right away and who is trustworthy. Jack Dolan & Sons has come to the rescue every time, responding within a few hours, fixing the problem so it stays fixed, and charging a reasonable rate. If they can't completely fix the problem, as in the case of the washing machine, they diagnose it and tell us what to do. They are friendly and easy to work with. I would call them first for many house-repair issues, emergency or not. Even if it's out of their type of work, it's worth the cost of the house call to get their take on what's wrong and how to fix it.
Description of Work: These folks have come to my father's house several times to perform plumbing and gas work. The Approx. Cost is for a single visit (where they got a lot done).

Due to snow, the work was started a little late but moved on schedule afterwards. Jack Dolan came when promised, got the estimate to us promtly, and began work on the day scheduled. The only significant problem was in the dust created in tearing down old original plaster walls. Being winter, the HVC system picked up a fair amount of dust and deposited it in all of our rooms. We and our friends and family are all impressed witht the job.
Description of Work: Completely gutted a bathroom and rebuilt it, including floor, ceiling, tile floor and walls. The price was high but we wanted top quality and got it. All the workers were considerate, polite and fully professional, going an extra step if needed. We were impressed and now have this same company rebuilding our laundry. Because of our previous experience with Jack Dolan and Sons, we did not even ask for an estimate. We recommend this company to anyone without exception.
