Description of Work: Mike Singer Plumbing installed a hot water heater, and did not remove the old one when he left. He promised me he would have a junk man who removes old appliances to come to my home and remove it, but this phantom junk man never showed. Repeated call to Mike Singer were never returned.

Description of Work: Our basement sewer pipe was backing up with rain. Mr Singer, who I had used once before in the past, can't to snake the trap at the curb. I watched him do it. He told me the snake was getting caught and that could mean only one thing: the pipe was broken. He wrote me an estimate for $2500 (after charging me $65 for the snake) which included permits to break concrete, replace the pipe, but did not include the potential for more broken pipe closer to the house. Since the trap was so close to a utility pole, peco would need to come & brace the pole so it wouldn't consider. He said the charge $500 for this, though it used to be $800, and can take up to 2 weeks to schedule. I was incredulous. Why would they charge for something that is in their best interest to do? Thankfully, I spoke to a COMPETENT and HONEST plumber within the next week before securing Mr. Singer to do the work. They sent someone to look at the trap again to be sure after agreeing to do the same job for $400 less. Within ten minutes, this guy had plunged free the CLOG that was causing the back up (a back up made worse by Mr. Singer's snaking, btw, which resulted in 5 inches of raw sewage in my basement next rain fall). No broken pipe. No charge from Peco either. I called them myself. That was just an outright lie. I confronted him via text about his previous estimate & bogus charges. He said he would refund the $65 (never happened) but still insisted on the PECO charge for breaking the pole. This is a man so committed to his lies he believes them himself. Pick ANY other plumber. This guy is lucky I didn't sue him. He is unethical, incompetent, & generally untrustworthy.

Beware of this plumber. Mike Singer is a knowledgeable as a plumber, however he does not fulfill agreements he makes with his customers. I arranged via phone with Mike to replace an old, leaking water heater in my home. He was to pick up the heater from his supplier and bring it to my home and install it. NOTE: I am a long time customer of Mike Singer Plumbing going back at least 10 years. Over the years he has done both major plumbing repairs for me as well as small minor one. So we have had a long relationship. Mike arrived with the new water heater, I helped him take it down to my basement and he installed it. AFTER the installation he tells me he doesn't remove old appliances (it's something he just hates to do) so he would arrange for a junk/scrap metal remover to come to my home and remove the old heater for him. He said this guy would either come or call and pick up the old heater. It is now some 2.5 weeks later and I'm still waiting for this phantom junk man to come remove the water heater from my basement. I have made 2 calls to Mike and left him voice mails about this heater not being removed and asked him to please have his guy come pick it up as per our agreement, and Mike has not had the courtesy or professionalism to return my calls nor have his junk man (if he exists) pick it up. Had Mike told me he doesn't remove the replaced appliance from the home before the job, I may well have called a different plumber who does...as all plumbers do. But, I trusted him to be a man of his word. I expected he would honor his commitment, and as a long term customer of his who has always paid him in full at the completion of his work, he would have had respect and appreciation for me as a repeat customer. I WAS WRONG. Mike does none of these. He does not honor his commitments with his customers and if he has to return to do clean up work after a job is finished. beware, he does not do it. Needless to say, I will no longer use his services, which is his financial loss. Mike Singer has done thousands of dollars of work for me over the years, and to end a relationship with a paying customer and lose hundreds or thousands of dollars more in future work because he doesn't remove old appliances from the home as every other plumber does, is sad.

It went great! We had just had a different AC service provider out who wanted to put in a new unit for $2490 plus labor charges! This gentleman came out and replaced the capacitor and ran a diagnostic check. This fixed the unit and the AC is working great! I really appreciate this gentleman's honesty and professionalism! I highly recommend his services! Thank goodness for Mike Singer!
Description of Work: Mike fixed our central air conditioning unit in 5 minutes!
