Description of Work: Nothing - Called to get an estimate for some work that I wanted to have done, asked a few questions, the guy on the phone got pretty nasty for no reason, so I didn't bother calling back. Plenty of good water systems companies across the border in CT that are also licensed in NY.

Super professional. They were in and out in 2 hours (and the ground was a little frozen).
Description of Work: I've used this vendor twice now. First time it was an emergency, as a water piped from the well had burst, and there was water pouring into my basement. This was a saturday. They came to the rescue within the hour (and they had never worked with me). The ONLY reason I give them a B on price is I think they're a little bit higher than others - but boy are they worth it! The second time I used them was yesterday. The well pump finally died - they replaced it. They always ran through the options - trying the least expensive / invasive approach first. I have never felt "taken" with these guys. Honest, professional and understanding (I tend to hit panic mode when water is involved.

PF Beal (Artesian Well Company) FIXED the shoddy work of a previous company, who installed cheap PVC piping connecting the new hole drilled into my foundation to the well tank. The pipefitting was overtightened and cracked under the water pressure after 2 weeks, flooding my house (FYI: this was the second flood related to the same job; the first flood was due to equally shoddy quality of the piping on the outside of the house by the original well company!). PF Beal came in and repaired the cracked PVC, but after hearing our nightmare with the first company and how distressed we were about potential future flooding, asked us if we would like them to replace ALL the brand new indoor piping (about 5 feet) with a higher quality and sturdier pipe.This was not an upsell on their part...we actually asked them during our whinefest...what piping would you use in YOUR house? We then said, we want that...and he assured us, we will never have to worry about these pipes leaking again! Money is only well spent if it's spent once! Next time, it will be spent with PF Beal. And at least now we have peace of mind...and dry floors. PS: don't know why this company is listed under Auto Service category.
Description of Work: Well pipe servicing: Repaired the brand new interior piping installed by another well company that cracked due to shoddy workmanship and flooded my basement (twice!).

I liked PF Beals responsiveness. HOWEVER, I was not pleased that were were charged $181.20 JUST for a service call...and when they said they would come over for the service, there was no mention of this cost (2 other companies charged us NOTHING for the same service)- we just received a bill weeks later telling us to pay. Because of this I would not use them in the future.
Description of Work: We called PF Beal because we had brown water coming from our well. Chris answered our call and was very helpful and responsive. We shopped around and found a better price for the job, but PF Beal was our second option.

We needed to replace two shut off valves that are frozen up at our well tank and the plumber wanted P.F. Beal to come and review the piping as he questioned its integrity. The folks at P.F. Beal were very pleasant and the technician was on time. He reviewed the piping and stated it was fine. He was on the property less than 10 minutes and did not ask to be paid (we assumed at this point that they were not charging anything since they installed the well pump and tank a few years ago). Much to our surprise, we received a bill in the mail for $140, which turned out to be the standard service call amount. We were never told that a simple 10 minute review would cost $140. Now, I know that he had to drive here but we are only 5 miles from their office. So, for a total time involvement of maybe 30 minutes, they charged $140! We called and they were not willing to budge on the price. I will have to find another well contractor if needed down the road. If they simply would have informed us at the beginning, there wouldn't have been an issue.
Description of Work: They reviewed the well tank plumbing.

I got a bill in the mail the very next day for $147.10. There was a $100 charge for a service call and $37 for the two filters that were left for me to try. I found the same filters on-line for $10.99 each as opposed to the $18.50 they were charging. I called to object to the amount of the bill, the fact that I wasn't given a time window for when someone was coming, and the fact that he was charging me much more for the filters than I could get elsewhere, especially since they were left "for me to try." By the way, since the problem with my water continued, my husband checked the new filter, and it was too large for my receptacle and had been forced in. When I spoke to Mr. Beal on the phone he told me that I wasn't making any sense and things pretty much downhill from there. My advice, don't use PF Beal for any well or plumbing services!
Description of Work: I called Beal as a follow-up because I was experiencing excessive sediment in my water after they had extended my well head. I was told what day they would be coming and that they would call with a time the morning of that day. They didn't call me at all until around 3pm when the serviceman was on his way to my house. The serviceman didn't check my well at all. He merely installed a different type of filter. He said he would leave a second one and if the problem was resolved I could call and order more. He did not do a water test or check the depth of my well (which is why I called in the first place). He was at my house for no more than 10 minutes.

Mike and Mark came on time and performed the work in a very efficient and timely manner. They were professional and personable. They also explained each step that they were taking to correct the problem. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: The well pump, motor and check valve had to be replaced to correct the air that was entering in to the water pipes. The check valve was broken, thus allowing the water to back down the well pipe in turn allowing air in the system.

THEY'RE VERY GOOD. WE HAVE USED THEM BEFORE BUT THIS WAS A FOLLOW-UP. ORIGINALLY THEY CAME BECAUSE WE HAVE RUST AND THEY PROVIDED A FILTRATION SYSTEM THAT'S MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. THEY SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
Description of Work: THIS WAS DRAINING MY WATER TANK AND ADJUSTING MY WATER FILTER.
