They are expensive, but they are very good. I was pleased with them if I was a wealthy person. I asked a plumber friend what he thought of the estimate and he told me not to have it done and that I probably didn't need all the pipes completely replaced. I told them that I was going to go ahead and do it, but then I canceled. They didn't even send me a bill for them coming out.
Description of Work: They gave me an estimate to replaced all of my drain pipes.

The owner himself is not that great. One of the employees actually said they try to keep him from going on house calls. He came out once and did not do a good job, but someone else came out and fixed the issue at no additional charge.
Description of Work: They installed water heaters, repaired a faucet, and did basic repairs. They tried to repair a water softener once, but that didn't go so well.

On Wednesday July 16 Jerry arrived, replaced parts in both faucets charged me 220.00 and left. After the repair I used both faucets and found the one in the garage leaked. I immediately called the office to explain the problem and left a message to call me at work the following morning. On Friday I got no call so I again called the office. I was told Jerry had my number and would call me. I got no call, so I called Jerry on his cell and he stated he had been to my home but, could not find the problem. Since he could not get in my garage their was no way for him to find the problem. He came back that night but, stated that the replacement parts were defective. He would return the following week at my convenience with new parts. I was not able to reschedule Jerry until Tuesday the 22, when he arrived and stated the problem would require another part for 62.00. Work was completed.
Description of Work: I called originally for a leak under my kitchen sink on Thursday July 10. When plummer arrived he did not have the correct anti-knock valve so he removed the leaking valve and replaced with straight pipe. Charge 97.00. I asked about faucets that were not working in my garage and on front porch. Jerry stated my options but could not work on them at this service call. I rescheduled for the following morning to have work completed, Jerry did not show up. This was Friday July 11 I called the office on Monday to ask why no one showed up but did not get an answer other that they were sorry. I was told they would come at my convenience so I rescheduled for Tuesday July 15 at 4:00. On Tuesday at 4:30 I got a call that Jerry was on the way to get the parts for the faucet repair and would be at my home shortly. About 20 minutes later I got another call about problems and could I reschedule for Wednesday.

We just bought this 40 year old house, and needed some advice and an estimate of the work we thought should be done. Atherton sent an experienced plumber, who was a pleasure to work with. He gave us an estimate, and guaranteed that the cost would not exceed what he quoted. There is no charge for an estimate. Two days later he and an assistant did the job. They were finished in under the time he had quoted and below the original estimate. Best of all, the plumbing work is excellent, and he answered all of our questions, and gave helpful suggestions to my husband on maintaining problem-free plumbing.
Description of Work: Installed main water (whole house) shutoff in the basement, as none was there. Reworked the water softener bypass, installed new pressure regulator, replaced three bathtub push-pull shutoffs, also one bathtub spout.

They came right away when I needed them. The work was being done in Dayton but I'm in Columbus. They handled the situation very professionally as they did the work and then sent me a bill - they didn't ask me to prepay for the work which was nice.

I called A-Atherton first thing in the morning and they came out the same day. I had shut off the main water turnoff to my home which is located behind my dryer. Brian, the plumber, came to my house on time. He checked out the damage. He found a local turn off valve in the utility room that I missed. He disconnected the broken water pipe. Because the weather was too cold, he said that they would come out in the spring to reconnect the new pipe. On the bill he stated that only a 1/4 trip charge should be charged for the return service. He turned on the main water supply to the house and reconnected my dryer vent and put everything back together. He also used a coupon to reduce my trip charge by $12 that he said was in the phone book.
Description of Work: The water pipe for my backyard garden hose in my outside utility room burst, spilling water all over my patio pavers. I needed it to be repaired immediately. I did manage to turn off the water supply to the whole house to stop the water waste.

I called to set up an appointment and got very straight answers regarding price, and they stuck right to that. A few days later, Ben called ahead to be sure he had the right address; there was a bit of a mix-up (phone number/address, not their fault), but that was fine; he was very close by and came right away. He got to work immediately, stopped to show me about a possible problem down the road that may never occur, which I sure appreciated knowing ahead of time. I okayed his going ahead with the new toilet. The whole business was done in less than one hour, very professionally. I wanted a new toilet even though I was told the old one would probably have worked fine and am not sorry I made that decision, the new one (Gerber Viper Round) is great. I may have been able to get the toilet myself ahead of time cheaper, who knows, but was comfortable letting them do that for me. Anyway, I'd most definitely call A-Atherton again and would rate them very highly.
