On 5-16-19, late morning, my master shower lost pressure and I could not control the temperature. Manager Judy was able to fit me in later that same day and Eric replaced the head. I have used this company for many years, and am never disappointed. They are always prompt and efficient.

Judy answered the phone with a cheerful, positive spirit and scheduled a convenient appointment. James showed on time, applied booties over his work boots, and patiently/carefully listened to our concerns. He then efficiently took care of the problems, showing skill and experience. Great service with courtesy and professionalism!

From start to finish for both projects, they were professional, did what they said they would do and completed the jobs on time. It was such a comfort and peace of mind knowing I could rely on them. The quality of their work is superb. I highly recommend Jack Berlith & Sons.

It went perfectly. Could not have gone better. Tom worked diligently, quietly, and competently and was truly a pleasure to have in our home. He took great care to cover our floors to protect them during the project, and he completely cleaned up after himself when the job was done. The installation of the filtration system required creativity, tenacity, and expertise (because of the constraints of our space); Tom met each and every challenge with aplomb (pun intended). Everyone we have met from this company (including Judy, their "front office") has been extremely professional, with excellent communication skills and attention to detail and client expectations and needs.. They have done many projects for us, including a few that were emergencies-- always with immediate response to our calls, fair prices, care, and "good cheer". We highly recommend them.

Installing the valves on the basement hot and cold water supply lines to the upper floors, occurred in less than a half day. The prep for the new faucet controls in the first and second floor bathrooms, followed by the final installation of controls after the tile work was accomplished in a couple of hours. The installation of an exterior freeze-proof exterior cold water faucet and repair the leaking main water supply to the house took under two hours. Everything was accomplished without major disruption of water service and residential inconvenience in timely fashion!
Description of Work: Did the pre and post installation of new shower controls in the first and second floor bathrooms after updating showers with new tile.

Referred top-skilled tile mason company associate to install shower tile and coordinate related plumbing improvements. Accomplished everything in record time.

The job went very well. The dimensions of the utility room were exceptionally tight, so the company had to be resourceful in selecting the correct equipment that would both fit in the room, make it down the somewhat restricted stair well to the basement, and still provide high efficiency performance. One item on the project turned out to be not quite the size required, so the company substituted a more costly piece of equipment in order to fit, but absorbed the higher cost. The substitution was done quickly with little or no impact on the timing of the project. The system continues to work very satisfactorily. The project team was efficient, courteous and clean. It was a pleasure to work with them.
Description of Work: Removed existing boiler and hot water heater, replaced with high efficiency units, installed thermostats and CO monitoring equipment, refinished the utility room in which new equipment was installed, and performed miscellaneous other mechanical and electrical jobs.

About a week before christmas my hot water tank rotted out and we needed a replacement. We got in touch with this company and they came promptly and said they could do the job. The cost was around $1800.00 I thought it was a high estimate from what everyone was saying, but my husband wanted it done immediately and he felt comfortable with Steven. After the job was done which was quick and clean I did notice that the placement of the tank was not where the previous tank was. Our boiler room is tiny so every piece of space is valuable. I would think a plumber would realize the importance of that before installing any equipment. It is now February(two months later) and we need some cleaning done to our oil burner. Well no one will work on it because there is no room to get to the burner that is behind the tank. Steven showed up a day after first contact with him. As soon as he came over the first thing he did was take out a measure tape and measured the furnace. He said" its the same size". I told him it is not in the same place as the previous tank and he argued with me about that. He went on to say that he can not make the room larger(I have been in this house for ten years and i have had many service people in my boiler room before never any problem.) Didn't care for the nasty remark.. I asked him if he can cut some pipes and move it over and he said he would have to sit down and figure out the bill for that first. That was two days ago and I haven't heard anything from him. I still have a heating issue and am thinking I will have to hire a new person to do a lot more work than was needed if the tank was just put in the same place as before. I basically paid close to two thousand dollars for a two month bandaid. If i take my car to a mechanic because it won't drive and he says its fixed but you can't sit in the seat to drive it, doesn't really help does it. I was very disappointed in his attitude and his unprofessionalism. It was obvious from the minute he came in my house that he felt this is not his problem and all he cares about are his high prices.

Response from Jack Berleth & Sons INC
I find this review curious since we did return to the [member name removed] home and move piping and the heater at no charge. I am sorry that I was perceived as unprofessional, I pride myself on being courteous and professional even under pressure. I did take out my ruler to measure the heater, which [member name removed] was claiming was bigger than the original, and to help figure out what we would have to move and what we would gain. I will say that we should have been more aware of the lack of space in the room and maximizing that space from the start. The old heater was leaning over and installed crooked and we were mistakenly more concerned with installing the new heater straight. As far as our pricing, we are not the least expensive plumbers, but we are not the most expensive. We charge accordingly to provide clean professional technicians with clean, organized trucks to complete a professional job. We do once in a while make mistakes but we do stand behind our work as we have in this instance. With regard to my only caring about my high prices, I would again argue that that just is not the case. I did allow the [member name removed] to make payments for the work and I did not require payment in full upon completion as my estimate had requested. I understood that it was the Holidays and everyone struggles at that time of year. I feel strongly that this review is not a true representation of our company or how this job played out.

Excellent. There were some unexpected problems such as faucet being too close to wall for a bracket to fit, but Tom found a different bracket in his truck that could do the job. I have used Berleth several times over the years. Their work is always excellent.

Description of Work: We had an issue with some pipes in the basement. When the technician came for the consultation, he reazlied that they would need two men to do the job so he couldn't do the work that day. I asked his advice about a spout my husband was having trouble replacing in the bathtub. He said he could install it for me as I was paying for a service call anyway. I said okay. He didn't use the one we bought from home depot but got one from his van and then charged us for that one even though the one we bought was perfectly fine. It turned out that when we got the bill, it took him longer than the half hour allowed for the service call so he started to charge me by the half hour. Even though I had asked him that day how much it would cost, he never disclosed that he would charge anything above and beyond the service call. All he told me that day was that he would bill us altogether after they do the work in the basement. Then, after they did the work in the basement, we got an astronomical bill. The biggest charge was for parts but it was NOT itemized. After some repeated phone calls, we did get the return of some of our money but we felt really ripped off.

Response from Jack Berleth & Sons INC
We certainly don’t like to disappoint any client, but sometimes it happens, no matter how hard we try to do the right job. The leak in the basement was on cast iron piping, which is never safe to have just one man change out. We have the safety of our technicians and the protection of the customer’s home as a priority, so we rescheduled that work when a second man was available. The tub spout the customer had purchased was a home center plastic tub spout, which any reputable plumbing contractor would not use. We recommended the chrome plated brass tub spout that our technician had on his truck so we could insure longevity of the product that was being installed, and the customer agreed. There are many variables that would affect the timing of a job, we cannot see through walls, so a simple tub spout replacement became a little more involved once the old tub spout was removed and we found connection piping within the wall that had to be changed. This could have been why the homeowner himself was having trouble. Our half hr service call turned into 1.5 hrs, and we bill by the half hr. It is not our company policy to itemize any bills. The customer said the bulk of the invoice was for materials, but I would have to respectfully disagree. Visit #1 was $255/labor and $56.89/materials, plus tax. Visit #2 was $560/labor and $163.41/materials, plus tax. When [Member’s name removed] called two weeks later to express her dissatisfaction, she was issued a check which reflected the extra hour of labor for Visit #1, and the price of the tub spout that we provided, and the applicable sales tax. Being that these are the two points the customer seemed most upset with, I’m confused as to why they are complaining a year and a half later, when restitution was made on both those issues. The customer still got their problems taken care of, and any misunderstandings about money were addressed. Many companies would not have even entertained returning any of the customer’s money, and would have just written them off. We tried our best to salvage the relationship by issuing the refund we did, but there are some people we just cannot make happy.

I have used this company 4 or 5 times for several issues in our home since we purchased it in 2008. One was an emergency, where the valve on our hot water heater was stuck open. Other times were non emergencies, and they handled all of the jobs quickly, efficiently, and correctly. I would definitely use this company again, and would recommend to others.

They were very nice. I discovered later that the water heater they installed was not eligible for the government rebate. I was very disappointed.

We got several estimates. They were actually the most expensive, but received great recommendations from both the BBB and Angie's List. They had to replace a little of the subflooring.
