Work was not performed because quote was too high. $65 just for the plumber to come and provide me with their ridiculous quote.

Response from Wm. Henderson Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Inc.
Good Afternoon, I'm sorry you weren't happy with our estimate to fix your plumbing issue. After reviewing the work order on the job we saw that our plumber was in your home from 2:00 pm to 2:45 pm assessing the problem and going over his recommendation on how to fix the problem. We believe we offered a fair estimate to solve the drain issue and as our company policy is set up, we would apply the $65 trip charge to the cost of the job if we moved forward with the work. Please let us know if anything changes and we could complete the suggested work for you immediately. Thank You, Lauren Wallace

set date and time for meeting, learned the seller had rescheduled the appointment so she could get an estimate for work--but nobody let me know. The employee came the following day with a working tool and scoped the line. He also answered some questions for me. He marked the locations on the driveway as well. He gave the seller an estimate for installation of a back-flow preventer (required for sale), but I don't know if she had the work done by them. The cost to the seller for the 50' sewer line inspection was $350. She was given a Flash drive with the video and a printed report.

Very badly. The plumber wanted $500 to install a dishwasher. An excessive fee from a lazy plumber who did not to do a basic job. A dishwasher install should be a fixed rate, instead of leaving you at the mercy of a plumber. I also had the privilege of paying $65 for an excessive estimate.

Jeff the plumber was a detailed and expert diagnostician. Another plumber had declared the pump dead and needed $1500 replacement. Jeff patiently checked all the possible problems and found the pump was fine but a check valve was broken. The repair came in under $400. So glad to have an honest and expert service.

Very professional. I also doubted at first that it was the disposal when he told me. ( The smell was that bad). But he was spot on. He had checked for the type of pipe system when he first came.

I think that some of their finish work would probably, just some little things here and there, I would have some question with. But otherwise there was a serious leak in the shower that required major overhaul in our bathroom so it ended up being a total remodel. They also did some carpentry, tile, vanity, painting. It wasn't the plumbing that I had some question with. It would be the side support services, they had other contractors that did the support work. I think that his finish work staff could have been a little more on point. It took about 3 weeks. Cleanup was fine. He has an umbrella of services because when you tend to do these things, things get moved or like the whole flooring system had to come up. We put in under the floor heating, he had a guy for that.

We are a trust company and we hold real estate for hundreds of clients so they could have done any number of things, but they are the go-to person. They are reliable and reasonable. I just call them and they instantly take care of everything. They are very attentive, it's same day service and the quality is always good. I can rely on them in the last minute to get out to a property.

I inquired on their website on Sunday, got a call back within an hour. Since it was not an emergency the operator assured me I'd get a call the next morning to schedule a service call. I got another call about an hour later from the company making sure I was OK and it was not an emergency. That was cool! The next morning, bright and early, I did get a call from the office to schedule the plumbing technician. Since I was unavailable for their afternoon slots, they made it possible for Brian to come between jobs in the late morning. He called later and gave me a 15 minute window for when he would be onsite. He nailed it. When Brian arrived, he was really nice, was very patient with my little dog who was excited to see someone new, and went about figuring out the problem. He priced it,discussed my options, we agreed, and he got to work. He explained some of the reasons the main had clogged and made suggestions to keep it from happening in the future. We get it paid, and he went on his way in about an hour. Would highly recommend Brian and Henderson for both emergency and regular work!

Excellent. Henderson came to our home several times prior to the installation to carefully consider with us which option would be best for us (replace high velocity and fiberglass duct boards, change to conventional AC with new ducts, or ductless. Their AC specialist, Ed, was very professional and always helpful. I'm really glad we went with a conventional system since our overall AC bill is very affordable. Ed put us in that direction. The installation was involved but went smoothly. We were also able to zone the house. I have worked with the Henderson company for all my plumbing, AC, and heating issues and continue to be impressed. They are punctual, hard-working, and the results are excellent. I have never felt that if an issue would arise with their work that they would not make things right. They stand by their work which is hard to find among contractors today. In fact, I priced the job against other AC companies with excellent reputations and found Henderson had the best price. I have had many contractors in my home since the installation and I have heard repeatedly on how nicely the AC was installed.
Description of Work: We replaced an old high velocity AC system that had fiberglass duct boards with a high quality 4 ton Carrier AC conventional system – including new ducts.

Our technicians are on call for after business hours and with 18 technicians on staff we always have someone available, even during our busiest times, to take care of our customers' needs. From your review there sounds like there was a misunderstanding concerning your service call. If you still need our services or need them in the future, please let us know and we would certainly get a technician out to you immediately.

I called Wm. Henderson who I find responsive and professional. They are new to us and I did set up a service contract with them the last time they were here. But this time I was very discouraged by the price of the whole job. I wasn't home, my husband was, and we okayed the work...but the price for the job was $511.00 - for a garbage disposal and about an hours work. The price comes out of a book. I called to question it, and there really is no recourse. Angie's list guidelines say about $350.00 as the high on this, and that was my own thought. We paid it but I think we were gauged.
Description of Work: I broke a cutting board of tempered glass (don't know how) and the glass was everywhere including the garbage disposal. It promptly stopped working.
