I used Big State previously for repair of a sewer line and was quite pleased with the work and price. Based on that when my old water heater started acting funny I decided to replace it with a new one, and since it was in the attic, it was too much for me to do by myself. Going with Bid State was the obvious choice based on Nextdoor comments as well as previous experience. My initial contact was not exactly perfect, but after contacting the owner all the issues were resolved immediately and to my satisfaction. The new heater was installed promptly and efficiently and has worked just as expected.
Description of Work: Replaced 13 year old 40 gal gas water heater in attic with a new 50 gallon gas unit.

It went only fair. Installers could have recommended dog eared fittings to connect the PEX to a short brass/copper alloy pipe to the valve on the outside of the wall under kitchen/bathroom sinks and the toilets/washing machine. It would have made the final result better and I would have paid the additional cost. Response to a problem, quite excellent. After holes are poked in walls and ceilings to do the plumbing work they do not repair them but should be able to recommend a good contractor to do so.

No video, but attempted to clear the drain with high pressure water. Didn't work, so received a nebulous "invoice" (I am assuming that this was a quote) with statements such as "System restoration service, Performance, safety and service calibrations, Thorough system enhancements", and "Installation performance and connection service" for almost $7,000. This is for about 25 feet of 4 inch PVC pipe and trenching to the area where the blockage is known to be. Yeah...... no.....
Description of Work: Angies List deal to service and check out a drain in our yard - specifically stated that they would video the drain to determine what was wrong and clear it.

Thanks for your review. Unfortunately our cameras can't see thru dirty water. We attempted to clear your line with the $79 special you purchased and were unable to do so. The special included clearing a line with a cable machine and a camera. We went above and beyond and tried to jet your line at no additional cost. Your job needed even work and wasn't covered under the special. We gave you way more work than the $79 special. I apologize that we wouldn't run the camera and would be happy to run it on any other drain line for you.

The work was done very well by Jason. However, I did have some problems in getting the work scheduled. I purchased the services in early December and chose three appointment times the first week of January, i.e., after the holidays. I became busy in January and when I was able to catch my breath in the third week of January I realized that I had requested those three early January appointments and I realized that the company had not replied. I made a call and they scheduled me the same week. Jason came out as scheduled and did a fine job. Overall, I think this is a good company and will use them again.

I couldn't have asked for better service. Fast, efficient, and as reasonable as can be expected for excavation under the slab.
Description of Work: Sewer pipes were split a few feet under the slab. It tuned out to be too big a job for a different plumbing company which tried to fix and failed. Big state came in, assessed the situation, provided an estimate, and proceeded to fix the problem; and provide a 25 year warranty!

The technician was late, but still within his arrival window. He was nice enough and fairly knowledgeable about water heaters. However, Big State as a whole seems to be more interested in fooling a few customers into buying overpriced products/services. The technician informed me my unit was old, had a few issues, and needed to be replaced. I expected this, since I invited a salesman into the house and didn't know enough about my water heater. However, what I did not expect was the price tag. They wanted $2,100 for a new tank or $8,800 for a tank-less system. I'm all about companies making a profit, but these prices are more than double what most customers can expect to pay for a new water heater. I appreciate the prompt and effective communication I received form Big State and the kindness of the technician to go over the quote with me right there on the spot...but needless to say, I will be looking for a better company at a better price.

Technician arrived at my home to do a water heater drain and flush. Arrived with water hose to do the draining of water in water heater. Showed technician where the water heater was, and he proceeded to hookup and drain water heater. During the draining process, the technician came in the main area of the home, and ran the faucets in the guest bathroom, and master bathroom. After a few sceonds of this, returned outside to garage to monitor water hose, draining water tank. I came out to the garage to see how things were going. There was small chit-chat, and then the technician gave me his recommendation of future services of installing a new water heater. I inquiried about tankless water heaters, and PEX plumbing. He was very responsive with that info, and began to wrap the flushing up. Had a couple of questions about the items not tested, but I slowly began to see the reality of my inspection, which turned into a 49.00 water heater inspection and price quote. The days of free job quotes are long gone. You have to pay for job bids upfront now. Its a gamble for home-owners, and companies looking to have potential work/service done. In the end, I should have questioned more, but I didn't. Lesson learned.

The service provider was great. The people responsible for sending out the quotes - not so much.
Description of Work: I scheduled the appt. but the company got busy and came out the following day. That happens in plumbing and I was home so it wasn't a big deal. He drained the water heater for me and showed me the little bit of sediment that came from the drained water. He said it was in great condition and should last a long time. He also looked at some other plumbing issues I had and mentioned that the company would later send me quotes on resolving those issues. They did not send the quotes, so I called for them. After a second call and no quotes came, I called another plumbing company to fix the issues.
