I wanted to express my gratitude for Richie's prompt response and personal attention to the issue with my boiler today. Richie's willingness to come and assess the situation firsthand not only reassured me but also demonstrated his commitment to me, the customer. I truly appreciated the time he took to discuss the problem and potential solutions. It's reassuring to know that Ranshaw places a high value on customer service and I want to extend my thanks to Richie and the rest of the Ranshaw team for their professionalism and efficiency, they're always top notch. Once again, I appreciate their swift response and expertise. I look forward to resolving the boiler issue and continuing to rely on them for all of my future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Had to review my current boiler situation in order to ensure safe and efficient operation.

It went awful. I have been a member of Angie’s list for years and have never had a problem like this. I was over charged, taken advantage of and I truly believe it was not even a new faucet I received. I would never use or recommend them. Shame on them for taking advantage of a woman like that. I still stand by angie’s List because I have never had a horrible experience like this.

He told me that we were a bit out of his service area, but then talked me through all of the issues we had been having to check that we really did need a replacement. He also gave feedback on the bid we had gotten, and gave some advice on what we should look for. It was very helpful advice, and extremely generous given that he was not interested in doing the job himself.

Outrageously overpriced!!! Company asked for a non-refundable $125 (+ tax) deposit, would not give an estimate over the phone. On arrival, tech told us the price would be OVER $500, but gave us a 50% "discount" as new customers, bringing the price to $436 — for approximately 10 minutes of work. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We certainly won't call them again.
Description of Work: Hooking up the gas connection for a new stove. We already had the flex-hose and all necessary hardware. Simply wanted a professional to connect it.

they quoted me 10-12K to remove my oil furnace and install new (gas). The project manager tried to bull crap me about how difficult of a conversion it was.... long story short. A different contractor was very happy to do the job for $3700 with a great 97% efficient furnace.

Response from Ranshaw Plumbing & Heating
[Member Name Removed], I am sorry we weren't able to do business. Please understand that an oil to gas conversion involves a lot more than just performing the work. There are permits to file with the DOB and utility company coordination. I did not see any permits pulled for your property for this work so you may want to look into that.

Ranshaw was fantastic from the initial phone call to the completion of the job. After coming to the house to see what needed to be done, Angel arrived on time on the scheduled day with his partner to replace the pipe. They removed the existing line in just a few hours and replaced it with black pipe. They also devised a way to replace a portion of the pipe without breaking through a wall which, I thought was unavoidable. Angel explained everything in detail on his initial visit, so there were no surprises. Everyone that I dealt with exhibited a high degree of professionalism and courtesy. I would definitely use them again (and I've already started putting together my list of tasks!!). Thanks for the great experience Ranshaw!
Description of Work: Replaced approximately 50' of the hot water return line that connects to the boiler.

In every case, a receptionist quickly understood the problem and arranged for prompt service. The service providers came on schedule and worked neatly and efficiently. The problems were completely resolved. The cost is painful, as plumbing work always is, but seems to be reasonable. The total I give below reflects expenditures on four visits for three problems (in one case, new equipment had to be ordered, requiring a return visit for installation).
Description of Work: During 2016, Ranshaw came to solve three repair issues: a toilet, a sink faucet, and a shower hose. Two of these problems were major, one minor.

My experience with them has been excellent. They were prompt, efficient, knowledgeable and they did good work. I was away and my husband actually dealt with it. It might have cost something, like, $250. They are a little pricey.

Expertly and quickly installed a new faucet, and checked all connections.
Description of Work: Installed a faucet -- but this was one of four visits over the last few months for different plumbing breakdowns, some of them emergencies. The Ranshaw people always know how to solve the problem -- especially Hing, their genius diagnostician -- and they do it quickly. It's easy to make an appointment with a real live person receptionist, and they provide service quickly, and telephone when they are on their way. I've never been so confident in a plumber.

A previous contractor had put in a new toilet while doing some tile work in my bathroom. One of the side bolts broke and it was loose. I called Ranshaw and their plumber removed and reset the toilet. What he found was that the person who put it in had used the wrong size bolts and they were not brass but steel which rusts. His work was quick and clean. I also felt he really knew his job as he explained what was wrong and how to fix it. Not cheep but very professional.
