8 employees. No additional charge for Sat hours. Uses subs for tile, flooring & electrical when remodeling. Charges a rate of $20 per quarter hour. $45 service fee applies. Additional contact name - Jeremy Stroupe. Family owned & operated. Additional e-mail -sales@calhounplumbing.com
They were supposed to be there between 8:30 and 9. They called for direction at about 9:00. They showed up at about 9:30. They charged $70 for a part that cost $35 at a hardware store. They charged two people for an hour that was a very simple job, plus a service call charge. Total was $250. We have had these replaced before and this was about $100 more than the last time (different company). I called and talked to the owner about the cost, and he said he would review it and call me back (he had been on vacation). He never called me back. They did a good job, but I think I was overcharged for the job.
Description of Work: They replaced an outside faucet.

I have used Calhoun before. I called them about a drip I was having in my basement from a water pipe. I ask if they could give me an estimate and to call before they came. They must have called my work number again. At least I was home when they came to my house. They looked at the leak and told me how much it would cost. Once I found out the price I had them fix it right then. It's nice now not to have to worry if the other 2 places that were soldered will leak. They replaced them with one piece of pipe.
Description of Work: Cooper pipe in water line replace. The water line had been soldered about 3 times in then six inches, by the previous owner.

I called last week Monday and had a conversation with someone about the work that we wanted to have done. He said that he could come out on Tuesday, and that he would call before he headed out here. He verified our address and phone number. We have not heard anything from him since and have used another company for the work. The man seemed knowledgeable on the phone but since they can't come out or call. We will not be contacting them again.

Everything went fine although they arrived at 9:20 instead of expected time of 8:30 to 9, so I gave them a B on punctuality. (20 minutes is not very late but I had set my alarm as I often sleep late) But I was glad to see them. They went right to work and cleared the drain from the basement, avoiding making a mess in my kitchen. Everything in my basement and my kitchen was clean when they left. They were very pleasant and efficient and knew exactly what to do.
Description of Work: Drain in kitchen sink was clogged. Water had backed up on both sides. I called two plumbing companies I had used before but they could not get to me before the next week as there had been severe storms and they were working on sump pump problems. This was on a Thursday. Calhoun Plumbing was able to get to me the next day, Friday.

They installed the shower wrong there was a leak from the shower. They tried to say it was a manufacturer defect but in fact it was just installed wrong. They had the opportunity to look at the specifications but they did not. I had to pay for two service calls but they did not fix the issue and made it worse. I would not use them again.

We previously used Calhoun for an emergency leak repair, to which they responded within two hours and saved us from major water damage and serious inconvenience. After a prompt, correct estimate to partially remodel the bathroom, Mike, the installer, arrived on time and spent two days performing the unpleasant job of removing the old bathtub and repairing the floor, leveling the surface for best drainage and stabilizing the new steel tub. The tub, surround, walls, and trim are solid, stable attractive and watertight - our main goals. They cleaned up after, and during the work collaborated and adapted to details that emerged from archaeological discoveries made after removing the tub (like the two-inch difference in height of the floor from a depression-era remodel, and a layer of coal dust from a WWI-era furnace that had collected under whatever was there before the tub). Mike expressed sincere concern for quality and the results reflect his commitment. Thanks, Mike.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced steel bathtub, removed and replaced tub surround, repaired bathroom sub flooring, installed new trim, tub drain, waterproof drywall.

I was impressed that when I called they made the estimator's appointment for a specific time rather than giving me a 2-4 hour call window. The estimator was prompt, knowledgeable and friendly. He referred me to a company that could do the job as it turned out to be more than a plumbing job. The referring company works with Calhoun for the plumbing end of the jobs.

They removed parts of the floor to complete the project, however while cutting into the floor they also cut the water line. The water flooded the bathroom and down into the kitchen. They repaired the water pipe, but when they had to shut off the houses' water after cutting into the toilets water pipe, the shut off value wouldn't turn back on. So they replaced it and brought the shut off value back to code and they added a valve at the water meter. I was charged for the toilets water pipe repair even though the damage was caused by the plumber. Also, included in my bill was the labor and time it took to get the parts needed to complete the job. They took several trips to get supplies and parts needed. The first trip was to get solder. One of the trips (in the middle of the day) took two hours, and I'm assuming I was charged for their lunch. When they installed the toilet, they installed it too close to the wall so the top does not properly sit on the tank. While they were doing the repairs, they were placing the parts and tool in my bathtub and now after having left, I am seeing where they made new scratches in my porcelain tub. I have tried contacting the company and was advised that I would receive a return phone call within an hour; however after waiting an hour and a half now, I have yet to receive a call back from anyone. I spoke with them the next day, Mike, the owner, took 312 dollars off the bill and he sent Mike the plumber to see if he could fix the problem with the toilet being to close to the wall, and he said "Mike would buff out some of the scratches in the bath tub." I declined the buffing, figuring it would ruin the porcelain even more. Mike the plumber came and didn't want to rip out the floors and pipes he had just fixed. So he tried to find a way to get the toilet farther from the wall by trying something else. He wedged 2 pieces of copper pipe between the toilet tank and the plaster wall to keep the tank from touching the wall and allowing the lid to sit properly. Overall the problem was resolved but I am still unhappy with results.
Description of Work: They replaced the toilet drain pipe; they also had to replace the water line and the bathtub drain line.

They were a little later than expected due to prior appointments running over but the guys were quick, courteous and clean. Our gas line and stove were original to our home which was built in 1926 so it had never been updated. We were kind of in a pinch with a new stove set to be installed tomorrow and they came through for us for a very reasonable cost. I definitely recommend Calhoun Plumbing. These guys are good!

We came home Friday night and noticed that our half bath sink was leaking into the basement. Because the leak was below the shut off valve, we couldn't just turn off that valve but had to turn the water off to the whole house. Since we couldn't go all weekend without water or allow it to continue leaking into the basement, we needed to find a reasonable weekend plumber. After calling two other plumbers and getting estimates of $199/hour and $180/hour for after hours rates, I called Calhoun Plumbing on Saturday morning and was told that they don't charge extra on Saturdays because they work Saturdays. They charged a $40 service charge plus $72/hour and materials. Plus, they have a $10 Angie's List coupon.

Water heater installed 03/15/08. Noticed a severe water leakage from connector valve next day. Called for Emergency service, which they advertise. No response from Emergency Service for approximately 2 hours. The technician that arrived was not professional and had a bad attitude. I paid cash for this installation and not once did I receive an apology from the owner or the technician that we went through this.

Poor. Estimator came on a Wednesday. He was very nice and professional. We were told we would receive an estimate on Thursday or Friday. I called on Thursday and was told I would have it on Friday. On Friday did not have it. On Monday called again. They tried to send it, but did not get the email address right, even though I wrote it down (none of the other contractors had trouble with it). Then when I finally received it, it was the email rejection. The next try, I did receive the estimate (1 week later than promised); however, it was addressed to a different person. Additionally, the quote was not what we asked for. Again, the other contractors had no problem getting the quote correct. They were extremely difficult to work with and did not follow through on promises. It is now 1 week and 2 days after the estimator came and we do not have a proper estimate. ($1,400)

Calhoun's plumber, Mike Calder, provided service the day we called and completed the job professionally and efficiently. He spoke to our home warranty company to assist us in our claim, clearly communicated the work needed, and wiped his feet every time he entered and exited our home (made the wife happy). His work was high quality and quick. Compared to the other quotes we got, this was a good price for emergency service and a Zoeller pump.
Description of Work: Our sump pump had caught on fire, filling the house with smoke, and necessitating a visit from the fire department. Calhoun located and fixed the water exit drain on our street that had caused the initial problem and installed a Zoeller sump pump.

I requested that the person arrived after 8:30 am (it was noted on the bill), but the technician left a note at 8:17am that said he was there and left (I was in the shower at the time). After finding the note, I called to reschedule around 9:30 or 10 and was told that some one would be there in the next two hours. He showed about noon and rattled around with an allen wrench for 5-10 minutes, concluded that it couldn't be fixed and would need to be replaced. He didn't have a replacement and gave me what seemed to be a rather high estimate for replacing it at some later date. (Note: when I originally scheduled, we discussed the possibility that I might need a new disposal. However, the guy I got might not have been the one originally scheduled who might have had one. But still...) My bill for $72.50 included $6.50 for materials which was for the wear and tear on his tools. So after taking off work, wasting my entire morning & spending $72.50, I still have a busted garbage disposal.
Description of Work: I called about a non-functional garbage disposal. It was not successfully repaired.

I called in the morning on a Friday and they were there in the afternoon. They said that they would be there between 1pm and 3pm. They called about 2pm and said they'd be there by 3:30pm. They arrived when they said that they would. I explained the work that I needed done and they promptly gave me an estimate for the work. They said that it would take them about 1 hour and it took less time than that. Gary was the plumber that I dealt directly with at our home. He was very courteous, friendly and efficient. When they were finished, he had me check everything to make sure that it was satisfactory. They did a great job cleaning everything up. The price they did this job for was very reasonable.
Description of Work: Gary and Mike replace an outside faucet for the hose. They also added a shutoff for this water line inside the house because their wasn't one and it kept freezing in the winter and causing problems at the hose.

I called yesterday afternoon, was told someone could come out but that time didn't work for us for that day, so the next morning they were scheduled for 8:30 am. They arrived at 10:20, I did call the office at 9:15 and was told that due to weather they would be there in about 15-20 min. In their defense it was the first snow of the year and they reported the roads were bad. Jason checked the toilet and were unable to re-create the problem but explained that our toilet was very old and we would benefit from a newer model that would also decrease our water bill. Jason explained the pro's and con's of purchasing a newer model and all of my options. He was very helpful and explained things very well. He said there would not be a service call fee if they came back to install the new one, and would note it in his report. The other gentleman was in the basement at the same time snaking the drain. They explained that it was fine as well as we had guessed.
Description of Work: They checked one toilet, occasionally it doesn't flush completely and snaked the drain in our basement.
