Was charged 260% over what was allowed by the insurance company for the work that needed to be done and had to quarrel down to that level. Make sure you get an estimate that contains the cost for each part of the job so you know what it will cost if you decide to do only part of the work with Burlew. I was unaware that we would be charged such an unreasonable fee for the work rendered.
Description of Work: Fixing broken pipe, repair tile.

Response from Burlew Mechanical
We did a very similar job for this customer 4 years prior. This project included tearing out his concrete foyer while he was still occupying the home. We recommended he replace all underslab deteriorated 50 year plus piping. He declined and only selected to have a portion of the pipe replaced. The amount he was charged for this job was in line with what he was charged the first time. Please know that 4 years ago we recommended he replace all of the deteriorated piping and he declined than as well and only did a portion, which is why he needed this work done again. The price that he was charged for this job was exactly what the insurance company covered. This customer was trying to get a complete remodel done and covered by the insurance company including replacing their tile floor in their bathroom, hallway and foyer. The insurance company denied this work. This customer was quoted prior to us performing the work. We were also given 4 days to complete this work as they were very concerned about their house being ready for their son's graduation party. It's a shame that people are quoted ahead of time, we do an amazing job (we completely papered off/safed off their white wall paper and furniture and kept everything as clean as possible for them) and after the fact try to attack us on the internet all because they are mad that they couldn't get their insurance company to cover a full renovation.

It took a few techs to diagnose the problem as a glass fuse. They did not have the parts available but had to order them so I was without hot water for a few days. Despite the fact that the warranty was in effect, I was charged for installation of the warranted part. Based on the experience, I could have gone to Home Depot and bought a new water heater.
Description of Work: Warranty repair on a water heater they installed.

They came on schedule, had to return to the supply house for a forgotten item, completed the job, followed up afterwards to insure the work was satisfactory and followed through on the permit papers. After the permit was issued, they mailed it to me. Office staff was efficient and always answered any inquiry. I would use them again.
