Went great. They sent a serviceman out the day after I called. Mark was the person who did the work. Mark was extremely nice and personable. Very punctual even called me on the way to tell me specific arrival time. He was able to determine it was a faulty ballast. The work done was great, and I also appreciated Mark explaining things to me and answering my questions about the light as he was working! Thank you for the speedy and good work! It's hard to find a good service provider sometimes, so I really appreciate the honesty, quick response, and thorough work!
Description of Work: Kitchen overhead light wasn't working---they determined the ballast wasn't working and replaced it.

see note above - I think they are terrific!
Description of Work: Excellent all around. I needed my old house outlets rewired, lighting installed, porch light and ceiling fan installed and wired, on and on. I needed extra outlets all over the house. A-Abel are always the first company I call. They are there when I need them and they do what I ask w/o giving me a hard time. Hard working polite people. The price seemed reasonable for all the work they did and having to crawl up in my attic and also my basement crawl space. They also installed a new circuit breaker box. Communication was excellent, if something wasn't right they would tell me so that everything was safely installed.

It was my first time using them for this type of problem. Everything turned out well and they got rid of the pests. One technician came out and completed the job in about an hour. He was knowledgeable with what he was looking at. We though we had wasps but he informed up they were yellow jackets. He did a good job and we had no problem scheduling the service. They came out the day after we called.
Description of Work: I hired the company to get rid of yellow jackets that were trying to get in to the attic.

They wired everything wrong which left us with $600+ heating bills. They didn’t install the kill-switch and wired it to 220v. The company that bought them fixed everything, but I would never use them again if they were still in business.

The plumber arrived at my house approximately 2 hours after I called A-Abel on Saturday. Since I had no water I was glad that they were able to provide same-day service. Everything went well. The plumber, Steve, was excellent - friendly and knowledgeable. He found the problem with the well pump and replaced a part. He rebuilt the outside spigot that caused the problem as it broke when I tried to get it to stop leaking. I had turned the breaker off to the well pump and the pump did not come back on when I flipped the breaker. It was a problem totally unrelated to the broken spigot. I was very satisfied with the service and I now have water again.
Description of Work: Got my well pump back on line and repaired an outside spigot that started the whole problem.

In early May 2014, we found a leak coming from the main water line pipe in our laundry room. Called Aabel Plumbing and Sam arrived within 1 hour. Determined the line could not be fixed inside and we had to replace the entire line from the water meter into our house. Aabel provided us estimates for the insurance company and we were able to get through the estimate process in just a few days. Nick, the service manager, worked with us to get a crew to our place within a day after we received approval from the insurance company. The crew of Adam, Sam & Shawn worked almost 15 hours in one day to get the line installed. Due to rain, they had to wait a few days to come back and finish restoring the yard. All in all, excellent job, professional crew and the price was great for the work. We highly recommend Aabel Plumbing.

Jacob and his crew were fantastic. I liked that he itemized the cost of certain work so that we could pick and choose what we could afford to do...this way, I managed to get my electrical priorities taken care of without breaking the bank. Jacob was also extremely patient with me when I changed my mind a few times!! He also was very prompt about returning e-mails...I often got responses within 5 minutes of e-mailing him. I appreciated that a LOT. I had several estimates done for this job, and A-Abel was not the cheapest but not the most expensive, either. However, while Jacob was looking around my basement, he was the only contractor who noticed an old fuse box that had been covered up with insulation years ago. It might seem silly, but the fact that Jacob was the only "eagle eye" to notice this was the reason I hired them. As far as the actual work went, it was well-done and passed inspection easily. They worked very hard and worked quickly. I was very pleased with their work and would definitely hire them again in the future.
Description of Work: Updated knob-and-tube wiring in several parts of our home and garage; installed a new panel; updated all switches and outlets; removed an old fuse box.

We had four pest control specialists come to our house after we discovered a box in our garage had termites in it. A-Abel gave us the best price and excellent service. They installed some boxes inside our home where there was termite activity and Sentricon units outside the perimeter of our home and they come several times a year to check those units. The termites in the interior of our home have been eliminated and they continue to monitor to ensure there is no activity in the exterior units.

What a pleasure to deal with a responsive and professional company, from scheduler to servicer. Accommodated my schedule, arrived early, cared about protecting surfaces, honest if bold evaluation of state of carpets, and recommendation for care/follow up service (not high handed nor scare tactic, just forthright). Servicer was focused and very efficient. Carpets looked outstanding and will definitely call again for carpets?actually did schedule duct cleaning based on the good experience with the carpets.

I initially found AAbel on Angie's List. I called them on 1/28/2014 because my furnace (installed in 2005) was working intermittently. They asked if they should come quickly or schedule a time and date. I asked them to come ASAP. The winter here was brutal this year. They arrived less than four hours later. The emergency call cost about $20 more than a regular service call but I didn't want to take a chance on anything freezing, and $20 was a reasonable addition (total cost to come over was $109.50). He inspected my furnace and found everything in perfect running order, except for one thing. The burners and sensors were filthy. He cleaned them, checked the rest of the furnace out, and turned it on. I never had a problem with it after that. The fee to clean and come out in the spring was an additional $189. They returned in April to inspect the air conditioner. They cleaned it, checked the unit outside as well as the coils inside. All was in great working order. Very professional, answered all my questions.

They have done a great job with the termite sentricon system. They are in and out and we hardly notice they are there. Previous owners had termites, but we have had no problems. We have called Aabel out twice for emergencies (yellow jackets in the yard the day before the birthday party and a mouse in the house) and they have had someone at the house within hours. They easily took care of the problems for us. And we got recommendations on other pests that we had not called them out for.
