waI woke up in the morning to no hot water. I went downstairs and found that the water heater was leaking and the pilot was out. I called am pm plumbing to have someone come out. I called them because we have used them before and thought they were ok. Doc (very broken english, hard to understand) finally shows up a little after 1:00pm and we determine that I do need a new water heater and expansion tank to bring it up to code. He said it would be about $900. He left to get the parts and was gone for over 2 hours. Now it is late in the afternoon, we have no hot water and Doc says that it was going to be more than he said. Now it is $1168.00. I wasn’t happy, but what am I going to do, go without hot water and take another day off work? He installs everything in under 2 hours and leaves. That night, I searched the parts installed and realized that all the parts retail prices add up to about $400, so labor is $768 for under 2 hours??? The next morning I called am pm and let them know that I wanted an itemized bill as I feel that I have been grossly over charged. She takes my info and says she will talk to someone and get back to me. After a while Doc calls me and just starts giving me the prices of the items. I don’t know if I have these exactly right, but they are close: The $347 (retail price) water heater, they charged $843. The $36 - $45 expansion tank, they charged $247. The $10 ball valve, they charged $98. I explained to him that I know what the prices of those items cost and that I feel like I’m getting charged almost $800 for less than 2 hours of labor. His reply is that they charge by the job not by time. We went back and forth for a while and he offered to give me $200 back which I said wasn’t enough and that I wanted to talk to Dan (he had mentioned Dan a few times and I found out he is the manager). He said he would have Dan call me. 2 hours later Dan called me and I explained everything again to him. His excuse was that they are a flat rate company and don’t charge by the hour. My thought is that I am paying x amount of dollars over retail price, you might as well divide that by the hours worked. Also, one of my concerns was where were they for 2 hours? Dan’s excuse was that Menards is a pain in the a**. You have to drive around back and they have to check the van out. I’m sorry, but that doesn’t take 2 hours in the middle of the afternoon on a Monday in Sioux Falls. My theory is either Doc went to work on another job, or Doc stalled to get it later in the afternoon, where I am stuck between a rock and a hard place before he jacks the price up another $268 from his original quote. I will never use this company again and if I knew someone had them scheduled, I would beg them to reconsider and cancel that appointment. I have submitted a complaint with the Better Business Bureau for their shady business practices.

Based on other positive reviews, we called for an estimate on some plumbing work on our older house. AM/PM sent a guy out who seemed very professional and knowledgeable. Once he left, though, it was a different story. We never heard from him again, despite promises to get a quote to us within a week. I called the office a few days later, and the receptionist told me that the plumber for our job was on vacation. I called a few days after that and was promised a call by the end of the day. That was three weeks ago. As a result, many of our other remodeling projects (flooring, carpentry, etc.) have been pushed back or thrown out-of-whack while we looked for another plumber. What a mess! I will not be using this company again, nor do I feel comfortable recommending them!

To start I have an older home and have an old school drum trap on my tub. I could fix it myself but I just don't have the time to do right now. So, I called and made an appointment yesterday. I had moved things around so I could be here for the appointment and when the appointment time came no call no show. I waited and nothing then I got a call a half an hour later saying they were running approximately 2 hours behind. I told them I couldn't do that due to work and they said they couldn't come any sooner. I said if they could be here within an hour it would be ok. I get another phone call from a man I can barely understand saying he will be here in 20 minutes. Ten minutes later I get a call from a completely different man who I also can barely understand. This guy is talking about fixing a dishwasher when thats not what I need. When I try to tell him that I didn't call for a dishwasher he gets rude with me and tells me he would have to come by and look at it because he thinks its my dishwasher causing the problems. I then tell the guy I have had another plumber come in and quote me to have it replaced so I know what is wrong and the guy tells me it's going to cost at least three times what the other quote was. I called the main number and asked what was going on and was told that he just must have looked at a wrong work order and quoted me wrong. I will never call this company again!!!!
Description of Work: None. They didn't show up.

We woke up at 4:00 AM to find that our water heater was leaking from the top. I called AM/PM to come by and take a look at it. It needed to be replaced (which I suspected anyways). The two guys who came were quick, professional, courteous, engaging, friendly... and every other positive adjective I can think of. The price was less than I'd expected to pay. No one ever WANTS to use a plumber, but if I have to again - it's going to be these guys.

AM PM did a wonderful job in an older home fixing a leaking old claw-foot tub. They were quick, pleasant, professional, told us exactly what they were going to do. There were no surprises. I would use them again.

We called Am Pm this morning and they sent Dax out within a couple of hours. Did not take long for him to locate the problem area. Determined that the faucet was leaking behind the tub and running under the tub into the ceiling of the main floor. Decided to have the faucet set replaced, as well as the drain mechanism, which was very corroded and ugly. It took Dax and Tommie a reasonable amount of time to replace these parts. They kept the areas they were working in very clean, very conscientious about keeping the entire job neat and tidy, wore shoe covers as well. I feel they did a great job, were very responsive and responsible, and would definitely call them for future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Had a leak in the ceiling below a bathroom. Discovered that the faucet in the bathtub was leaking underneath and running into the ceiling below. Replaced the faucet set, as well as the corroded drain mechanism.

We purchased the water heater through someone else. I don't remember the price but I know it was reasonable. He is just very honest with you. He will come in as soon as he can and he will be as honest as possible. He will tell you exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it. He is great at communicating with us about what is going on and we feel comfortable using his services.

Excellent. It was late at night and the city didn't come in a timely matter. The company gave us a discount for the cities lateness, even though they had no control over it.
Description of Work: Replaced the main water valve and valves to washer.
