Jared showed up on time and went right to work. Installing the back up water powered sump pump and new sump pump seemed quite involved to me, but Jared said it would be no problem to do it. I am completely satisfied with their service, and responsiveness. H. L. Bowman is now the only plumber I will use for all of my plumbing needs.

Great! I called yesterday, and they said they would work me into the schedule today and would call me before coming. H.L. Bowman called today and said the plumber would be here in 20 minutes, and he was. He did a great job and installed the toilet in less than an hour, cleaned up and took our old toilet, the box and all packing materials from the new toilet along with him. He also installed a new designer arm on the toilet instead of the one that came on it. He was very nice and professional. Would definitely use him again.

The appointment was made within 2 days of contacting them. The technician (Brian) was punctual for a 7:30 am appointment. Once there, Brian did a fantastic job of communicating the services that he was performing and kept me very informed about the status of the AC system. He found some issues that had been previously overlooked by former HVAC technicians and provided me with a very detailed understanding of what the outlook for my unit should be in the future. I noticed an immediate improvement in the cooling of the house as well as the air quality. I can't thank this company and this technician enough for being so professional in the way they conduct their business. I would recommend them to anyone in need of HVAC service.

I just purchased my first home. As with any home, there are always issues that crop up. After we had our washer and drier installed, we noticed that there was a backfill/flooding issue whenever a toilet, shower, or sink was used. I called H L Bowman after searching Angie's List for services in the area. The soonest a tech could come out would be next day (Wednesday, of this writing). I received a call the next day advising that a technician was on their way. Jeff arrived at my door and was absolutely professional, courteous and tireless in identifying the problem, and making sure it was resolved properly. As it turned out, during the reconstruction of this house, a kick cap from the installation of a toilet, fell down the sewer line and caused a blockage. Jeff used pretty much every tool in his truck to resolve and fix the blockage. Absolutely job well done. Aside from some remaining standing water from my shoddy attempts at repair at 2 in the morning, we have no NEW water - and every faucet, spigot and piece of plumbing works flawlessly. Absolutely will recommend, and continue to use their services in the future.

We called at 10 pm shortly after discovering the issue. Bowman called around 7 in the morning and had someone here at home at 11:00. They worked diligently worked to cleanup and replace the pump with a more powerful model. Very professional. Would highly recommend.

They arrived on time and were able to fix all issues efficiently (within an hour), even when they didn’t recognize the original piece in the toilet. They looked it up & called a supervisor to check they would do it correctly, then they replaced the piece.

It went well, my only complaint is that when I called to get an explanation of the pricing, no one called me back. They required that the bill be paid before I could see the receipt. I had the impression that heir attitude is “take it or leave it”. Maybe they are in the position to take such a stance but $2200is a lot to spend without the courtesy of an explanation.

I was disappointed that they didn't put a heat trap in. He was kind of like oh you don't need that. He didn't put the heat trap in where they put the extra bend in the pipe to keep the heat in. He also talked me out of putting in an better energy efficient ones. You know kind of like the old school Oh it's not worth paying extra money for. But I don't like that they didn't put the heat trap in. It works right. They were able to service me in a short time. I would shop around more but I would probably use them again.

So far so good. They will return to finish the trim when we are ready.
Description of Work: Rough-in for shower; installation of new fiberglass tub; replacement of 6 shut-off valves. The company is incredibly responsive with a large crew to address your schedule as you need. The crew for the day arrived on time and was very friendly. While I have used plumbers who work a bit faster in the past, this company's work product is reliable and so I will pay the extra hourly charge to ensure it goes well.

Bill was my service team member, he was genuinely the nicest and most professional person I have ever worked with. Professional, attention to detail and eagerness to complete the job as quickly as possible. From diagnosis to completion he was superior. When the time comes for planning additional plumbing needs there is no one else I am calling but his company. Everyone I dealt with was professional and courteous. Thank you so very much for your work!!! Bill, you are a wonderful team member and was so nice to work with you under less than ideal circumstances.

We have been using them to maintain our AC for a couple of years, and they are always extremely professional, thorough, and honest. We started having major problems with our unit last summer, and they determined that we needed a major repair to our outdoor AC unit. We were dreading the potential cost, but they were able to do the job, and do it extremely well, for much less than we anticipated. I would highly recommend their services!
