Mighty Mike's Plumbing, Electrical & HVAC

Good company. Did good work. Electrician that showed up was very knowledgeable and personable. Could tell he was being pushed to sell the service contract. I would use them again. Good work, but very expensive.

The exhaust fans quit working. It was extremely hot in South Texas during the summer and even now in November AC is needed. I contacted Angie's List and selected Mike's Plumbing and Electrical. The repairman came and replaced the motors on the 2 fans and the fan on one. The other fan replacement was not bad so later they sent a repairman to replace that fan. Everything is now working well. The last visit was on November 15, 2012.

The gentleman, came to look and see what was going on to give us an estimate. I related to him what we had been told, he went to check it out and didn't find the problems we had been informed we had. He asked to come inside to check the thermostat and it turns out that, because we have an older air conditioner unit, we can't use the filters. By checking something sosimple, he saved us hundreds of dollars. Very professional and helpful. We are very happy!

Came when they said they would. Worked steadily through completion. major changes requested by me stretched out process and increased final cost.

I called Mike's because I had heard their ads on the radio and I needed both a plumbing and an electrical job done so I thought I could kill two birds with one stone. Well, it turned out that they have to send a plumber and an electrician separately so you have to pay two trip charges. However, the trip charge was reasonable ($19.99) so I decided to go ahead and give them a try. The plumber arrived first. I personally was not at home when he arrived but he called me as soon as he had assessed the situation. His initial price to replace the cartridge was about $320!! I gasped and said that was much too high, that the whole faucet had not cost that much! To which he immediately said that the lowest price he could give me was $210 plus 15% off for being a new customer. I thought about it but then told him that was still too high. He pointed out that they would give me a one year warranty. I said that Moen guarantees the cartridge for life, so that was no big deal. I also told him that I had previously replaced the cartridge on the shower and had paid somewhere around $100 for the job, not $200 or $300. I told him I would just pay the trip charge but did not want him to do the job. After we hung up, I called Allstar Plumbing, who have done numerous plumbing jobs for me in the past and I have always found them to do excellent work at a fair price. They told me over the phone that they would not charge me for the cartridge because that was guaranteed by Moen and that I would just pay the labor at $85/hour. I calculated that it would not take more than an hour for that job and therefore the job would likely cost around $100 with Allstar, confirming what I remembered from past experience. After hanging up with Allstar, I got a call from Mike's plumber who, as it turned out, was still at my house. He had made a call to Alex, his superior, and told me he had been authorized to do the job for me for $129, including the trip charge and the 15% discount. I told him that I really did not like this way of doing business where they start out ridiculously high on the price just to see how much they can get out of you. The fact that they could come down 60% on the price and still want to do the job shows how inflated the first price was and that it was designed to take advantage of any consumer who doesn't know what a fair price is. Well, I decided to let him go ahead and do the job since he was already there. The faucet is fixed but I came home to find that he did not take care to remove the towels which were in the cabinet underneath while he was working. Consequently, about four of my towels were dirtied and wet and there was still a small puddle of water in the cabinet when I got home. Sloppy. I won't call them again. P.S. The electrician didn't show up at the appointment time (nor did he call to say he was running late). I waited an extra hour and then cancelled.

Sal explained why breaker did not work and showed us how dangerous it was. He ordered a new breaker and came a few days later to install it. Explained how to use the breaker if we have trouble. Has a life time warranty.

I wasn't happy. Not just because the repairs were going to be expensive, but because I had to beg them to provide a report of the estimate to provide the seller of the home for our negotiations and the plumbers were blowing me off. I ended up buying the house any way. The plumbing was absolutely horrible. I found a different plumber to redo the entire home for around 3,000 including work Mike's didn't consider. I think they are over priced and not really concerned with customer service.

They accepted the Angie's List discount with pleasure then charged me $153.69 to replace a 220 plug. I was thinking it would be $50 since he was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The service call charge is $19.99 and the part (220 plug) and labor was $160.87. Why? My neighbor had a 220 compressor hooked up directly to a 220 and they charged him $150, so I guess that is the minimum rate no matter how small the job.

I enjoyed talking with the electrician while he was working! He was very friendly and had lot of good advice for future projects!

Sal arrived in the time scheduled and did the work asked. We added GCFI outlets in the kitchen of a house we have on the market. In and out, done in about 30 minutes.

They did a great job. I would highly recommend them. They are a little high but it is worth it.

They were honest and reliable. They do their job. I would recommend them to my family and friends.

It was a waste of time dealing with these people. The office staff seems accommodating but in reality they just relay messages and don't necessarily follow through. I have an old T12 flourescent fixture where the ballast needed replacing which is in an awkward position in the attic. On Friday, the electrician told me that as of July 2012 they will no longer make bulbs for this fixture. The question was do I fix this or just get new lighting. The electrician quoted me a price of $187 to fix but said he did not have the ballast and would have to come back. He charged me $20.00 for the visit. I asked him to quote me on some newer fixtures, ones that would not be obsolete since he did not have the ballast. Then we could decide what would be more cost efficient based on the four quotes he was going to provide me with. He knew that was my only light in the bathroom and said he would have the quotes on Monday. Monday came and went, I called the office on Tuesday. The office was accommodating and said he would get back to me that day. Tuesday came and went. I called again and was told he was working on the quotes and I asked if I could have them via email so I could make a quick decision and get the job done since I was without lighting in that bathroom. I called again on Friday and was told the electrician would call when he was done with his last job. He called around 6pm a week later with some info. He gave me a verbal quote of $187 to fix the obsolete fixture and gave me a verbal quote of $340 for a T8 which is about to become obsolete in a year and the newer fixtures which are energy efficient he said he could not quote because he could not find my size but would continue looking. At this point, he should have declined the job since he knew he did not want it. Two weeks later, I have heard nothing and no call back. I called another electrical contractor who asked me what kind of fixture, said he would find the ballast and be here the next morning to fix so that I would at least have lights in that bathroom. And he came the next morining and in twenty minutes I had light and at 1/3 of the quoted price by Mike's! I am across the valley from McAllen , near SPI, maybe Mike's is better at serving the McAllen area. I don't think they wanted the job and should not have taken my $20.00 knowing they weren't going to do the job. The $20.00 fee is for people who waste their time. In this instance I paid them to waste my time. Shame on you.

I called about the problem on a Sunday and received a call back from Sal, who was on duty, within a few minutes. After discussing, we decided that they'd send someone the next morning to look at it and discuss options.Their dispatcher called early on Monday to let me know that someone would be there and a short while later Sal arrived. He examined the damaged area and provided a range of options for repairs and we decided to repair the damaged meter box and also the load center to bring it up to current code. At completion, their work looked much better than what was originally installed in the house. I'd use them again for electrical work and would ask for Sal if he was available.

Everything in the house flooded. It was awful. I thought I was going to drown. It was actually one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me.

I have nothing negative to say except their prices are pretty high.

We were pleased with the service. There wasn't anything major; it didn't require running any new plumbing lines. I used Angie's List to choose from my area and they were listed in there. There were some good comments about them from other customers as well. I was really happy that it included a coupon if we mentioned that we had found them through Angie's List. That helped us save on the cost and just having had a good experience with them for that purpose. It was nice and we were very grateful for that. They ran the plumbing from our laundry room into the kitchen area. They checked the electrical part and connected the machine. With a dishwasher you can either hard wire it or use a plug and plug it into an outlet. There was an existing outlet underneath the sink so they made sure that the outlet was in good shape and if it was GFCI protected because the water was so close to it. They were very neat, came in and out without any problems. It was a good experience working with them. It sounds like they did a lot of work for $300. I do know that we were able use the coupon so that really helped. I don't remember what the discount was on it but they happily accepted it and didn't give us any trouble about it when we mentioned it to them. I think the price was very reasonable for the work that they did.

They were listed on Angie’s List. I was very pleased with their work. I had a problem with electrical shorts; it was an ongoing problem. I had a past diagnosis done by them, but the problem continued. I called the same serviceman back and he did a very good job of diagnosing the problem. Several electricians had tried to diagnose the problem, but they were not successful. It so happened that there was a problem with the voltage; the voltage was not to the level it was supposed to be. Initially, I paid $284, a month ago. The return service call cost me $65. Totally, I paid $320 on the service. I thought the price was high. I am happy with their service because I do not have the problem now. They were able to finally diagnose the problem. The serviceman spoke to the person from the electrical company directly, which was really helpful. I would use this company again in the future.

They were expensive, but they charged the going rate.

The work was quick and efficient. The cost was very inexpensive and they did a good job. He was very nice and professional.

I have not had any problems with them. They are excellent and fast. They are efficient and they don't charge an arm and a leg. The price included parts and labor. They have been in business for a long time. One time I was desperate and needed a plumber quickly. They were the first one I called that could come quickly. I didn't know in the beginning if they would be good or not. They really helped me out of a situation and they were super nice. The owner is very hands-on. He will return calls. He watches his guys and makes sure they are trained to do the work. They do good work. I used them every time I turn around.

They came out and gave me an estimate. So far I like that everything is very professional, they offer reasonable prices, and don't pressure you to go through with anything. They also claim that everyone is certified.

The company responded to my call quickly and called the morning of the appointment. The tech showed up within the time frame expected. He was professional and efficient. I think they are a bit expensive, but probably worth it if you want someone who will come when they say they will, etc.

On Wed. July 13th, I called Mike's Plumbing and Electrical to get an estimate of cost to replace a power pole. On the 14th, Sergio Garcia, their sales manager, came out. We spent about 15-20 minutes going over the details of the job,(taking out the old pole,digging the hole deeper, putting in a new pole, and the disconecting and reconnecting of everything attached to the pole). He entered information on an electronic pad of some sort and gave me a price quote of $450.00. I called my wife to check on what day we could schedule the work to be done and gave those dates to Sergio before he left. He said he would check with his office and call me as to which day the work could be done. About 3 hours later, Sergio returned to our facility. I was unavailable and he spoke with my wife. He said the office had made a mistake on the price quote and the actual price for the job we needed done would be $1475.00. He apologized for their mistake and he offered to subtract $200.00. We said we would get back to him. It was actually at this point that we went to Angie's list and Joined. We looked at the other electrical companies listed, read the information and we ended up calling Hetrick & Barber, Inc. They came out, we gave them the same information regarding the job we needed done that we had given to Mike's. They told us they needed to go back to the office to calculate the estimate. It took a couple of days, but they sent us a bid on July 18th for $400.00. We scheduled the work, they came out and completed the job very satisfactorily and we paid them the $400.00. If someone wants an electrical job done we highly recommend they call Hetrick & Barber and not Mike"s

I commend their professionalism and excellent job.
