the work was done in a timely fashion however when I contacted Howell Services regarding an electrical problem the reply was rude, the contractor refused to come out an look at the electrical problem. The contractor had an electrician on staff and/or retainer so this was unexpected and I was extremely upset and will never hire Howell Services again nor will I refer anyone.

They used basic white caulk to seal around the toilet base instead of using the proper clear sealant. There are spots where the toilet has not been sealed at all. The screws for the toilet are also missing their white caps. I have looked for the old ones and they are no where to be found. Personality wise the company was great to work with, the workers were complete sweethearts. I just with they had done the job right.
Description of Work: My sewer line was clogged and we found out the toilet wasn't properly sealed.

Ron Howell came to my home to replace two bathtub and kitchen items that another plumbing company in Sugar Land had just replaced about 2 years ago. Howell Services charged about the same as the last plumber, but Howell gave me a 2 year warranty on the bath items and a lifetime warranty on the kitchen item. I liked the fact that you know before he even arrives that there is a diagnostic service charge of $39.00. After looking over the jobs, he then gives you an itemized invoice for the work that needs to be done. Then you can decide if you want him to do the work or not. There is no pressure and he is patient about answering any questions you might have. Also, there is a detailed price list right on his invoice, so you know he is giving you his standard charge. I will definitely phone him again for any plumbing problems.
Description of Work: (1) Installed new basket strainer on kitchen sink; (2) Installed new waste and overflow for bathtub; (3) Cleaned out drain in Master Bath sink

They were great! The communication was good. They called ahead of time to make sure they brought the right supplies with them. They did have to re-schedule due to an emergency, but gave us plenty of lead time. The people who came out to do the job were professional and did quality work.
Description of Work: They installed a new cut-off valve for the dishwasher and two additional water supply valves for the toilets. They also took out one toilet, re-sealed it, and re-installed it.

I called Howell in a bit of a panic on a late Friday afternoon. I started to change out a kitchen faucet in an older home and quickly ran into problems. I called them and they were able to get someone out quickly to fix the problem. They are a bit pricey but they provide reliable, quality service. I have used them many times and have never been disappointed.

They had to dig through several feet of wet muck just to find the leak. Explained everything they were doing throughout the process. Responded to my call within an hour, and I did not even tell them it was an emergency. When work was completed, they cleaned up all of the mess and took some time explaining all the charges to me.

plumbing, water heater repair

We had a new 50-gallon gas water heater installed in our garage. The house is 15-years old and the original water heater was a 40-gallon in the attic. The crew took the old one out of the attic and disposed of it, built a stand for the new one in the garage, built a new vent through the roof, and hooked up new water lines and a new gas line to power it. They were professional and personable through every step of the process, and I was told at the end that the price I was quoted was about $700 less than what I should have been charged. I offered to pay the correct price and he said there was no way he'd let me do it because "any reputable business always honors their quote". I'll definitely use them in the future and you should, too.

I had used them before to repair a toilet and had good results which is why I called them for an estimate. They were very responsive, provided a detailed estimate of the costs, and arrived on time for the appointment. Unfortunately, their price was a bit too high, and I chose another company for the work.

I hired them because their ad stated that the drain cleaning service would cost only $69, but I ended up paying nearly $400. Ultimately, they were professional and did a good job, but I disliked the final price and felt as though the ad was misleading.

Howell Services has never advertised a drain cleaning service for $69. Our air conditioning diagnostic charge is the only thing I can think of that is $69. I think there must have been some confusing. I would love to see that ad that may have caused this misunderstanding so we can make sure it is more clear.

This was my fourth time using the company, and it was a good experience just like the rest. They were very professional, did quality work, and had a reasonable price. Furthermore, I appreciated that they clearly defined the work and the price so that there were no surprises at the end of the project. I also find that they are very responsive as they are more than happy to accommodate my schedule and return calls within the hour.
