The plumbers that came out was very attentive about the issues. The question at hand was that, there was an odd smell beneath the sink in our bathroom and he put a good amount of time to look around. He went up in the attic to look there, made a small hole in the back of the cabinet underneath the sink then he put it back and closed it back up as well. I was very impressed with his professionalism. They were very clear about the things we could do to address this. We took one step then decided we wait and see how it evolves from there. He was okay with that. They also have a membership plan. If you are somebody that needs a plumber very often, I suppose you could save some money through that. They came out quickly, they were very clear on they could do and how much everything would cost and I appreciate that.

They did a great job re-piping our house. They were prompt, professional and their estimate was what they charged. We have recommended them to other friends and the result has been the same with all some within the past 2 weeks. Pat did all the work in the house and also installed all of our new fixtures in the master bathroom remodel. We would use and recommend them again!

We were very happy with the services provided. Appointment scheduling was a breeze, and they were able to come out right away. The plumber showed up on time (a little early, actually!), listened to all of our questions and concerns, and was upfront about options and pricing. We didn't intend to get a new garbage disposal, but after discussing prices, we agreed to it and are very happy that we did. We will definitely be using Milton Frank Plumbing again!

We discovered a water leak over a bedroom about 6:30am. Water was running down the ceiling and wall. I called one plumbing company and left a message. Did not hear back by 8am, so we called Milton Frank. They had a cancellation and sent a plumber to our house. Soon after, the 1st plumbing company responded, but I told them we had a company responding. Milton Frank arrived, accessed the situation and gave me a price quote of $556.00. Technician replaced about a 12" section of water pipe and was complete with the job in one hour. Work was completed in a very timely and professional manner and guaranteed. My issue is the cost. I strongly believe they took advantage of the situation that our water was off and we needed it back on quickly. Our insurance adjuster agreed and stated the cost should have been no more than $350.00.

What was a damp spot on Friday night was a wet spot on Saturday morning. We had used Milton Frank before and thought they were a bit expensive, but liked their work. My brother and my neighbors have also used them before. The plumber and I, working together, determined it was not the shower drain pan but a cracked nut/coupler on the jacuzzi bathtub motor. His rate was so reasonable I forgot to ask about my Angie's list coupon. Glad to write the check.

I called Milton Frank because they are a local company and I see their trucks all over pur area so i figured they were good. Wrong!!! They were able to dispatch someone to come out the same day so that was nice with a 48.50 trip charge. Thats fine even though i know there are others with free estimates. Again, i thought they were reputable. Anyhow, they technician comes out and he says "God, we should all be off for two weeks during the holiday" so i think he was a little bitter. So he walks out to the water heater looks at it without touching it and kind of look dumbfounded. He hits the Start button snd it lights. He says "well if this doesnt work then you need a new water heater which will run you about $900". I had to go handle something else so my partner wrote him a check. After he left i found out it was $112. WHAT?? Apparently he charged us $60 to hit the start button!! Are you joking?!? We did that ten times before he got to our house...we knew it would light. Jeez! So i called and asked to talk to the Service Manager who wasnt available until the next day. Well shockingly he didnt call immediately the next day which is what i expected. So, i called him. He was NOT very nice and very impatient. He kept saying "well thats how much we charge" and i kept saying "you charge 60 bucks to hit a start button?!?" He finally agreed to refund the 60 but i will be shocked if i ever get it back. Oh, but trust me when i say that i WILL get it back, even if it means i have to sit in their showroom! Its the principle of the matter. Needless to say, i will never use them again and that really stinks because i like supprting local companies. By the way, this statement is being written by Keri Ford.

Response from Milton Frank Plumbing & Cooling
Please Note: Work was not done at this residents home. Work was done for a non-member using this account to post a review. First off, we apologize that you feel you did not receive the best service possible from us when servicing your water heater on the afternoon of January the 2nd. Believe me that we take negative reviews quite seriously. Secondly, I can promise you a refund check has not only been issued, but should be showing up in your mailbox today. You should actually be receiving it today as it was postmarked January 9th. After meeting with both the Technician who was out there, and our Service Manager who spoke to you afterwards, I believe I might have a better view on the happenings that afternoon. Our technician simply asked about the sticker on the water heater because he was curious if that company had originally installed that brand of water heater. The owner of that particular company is a friend of our technician and he didn't think that he had ever installed that certain brand. His curiosity just got the better of him, and unfortunately the question was misunderstood. Apparently, upon viewing the water heater he confirmed it was leaking from both the top and bottom of the heater. He offered to re-light the heater, which he confirmed that he was not told that you had already done several times, and waited to make sure it stayed lit and continued to cycle. But informed that if it did not, then a replacement would be needed. He went to his truck, filled out his invoice, waited additional time to check and all stayed working throughout his 30 minute visit. Yes, our standard Trip Charge is $48.50, unless you are an MVP Member, which then it is free. He explained that relighting a water heater is $63.71, which was initialed on our Work Order, by someone who was explained these charges at the home, as the option and pricing that they would like to go with at this time. As far our Service Manager being rude, I sincerely apologize if it seemed that way over the phone, he normally is the nicest and most helpful to our customers both in person and over the phone. However, on Jan 8th, when you called our offices, we were overbooked with too many frozen pipe bursts to get too, so we may have ALL been a little short and frazzled from the long hours! Please accept our refund as an offer of apology. This is not a complaint that we receive very often. And if you have not already had someone back out to re-check the leaking water heater I would be glad to re-send someone out free of charge to take a second look.

As usual, our plumber arrived on time. Also as usual, he was professional and courteous. He told us that the roots of the trees in our front yard were the cause of the back up, and that the stretch of pipe there needs replacing. We found the price quoted for that short stretch of pipe very high, so we've not decided whether or not to have them do that work as well.

Excellent and professional as usual. Sink drain was cracked underneath. Replaced and fixed in less than an hour.
Description of Work: This time around I had a leak under the kitchen sink. It was a quick and inexpensive fix, so I was happy. I also had them install a new water softener and filter system earlier in the year. I will only use them in the future. They've been in business a long time, and they do good work. I'm tired of going "cheap" with a different company, then have to pay extra because the work wasn't done correctly. I will only use Milton Frank from now on.

We called the company on a Friday when we discovered the problem. We expected to get a return call on Monday, but they called us back promptly and sent someone out to look at the situation that afternoon. The repairman needed some additional parts and his colleague brought them less than an hour later. By late Friday afternoon, all repairs were made and things were working properly again. We were very pleased with the prompt response and the quality of the work. Both repairmen were friendly and knowledgeable.

I have been doing business with Milton Frank plumbing for a few years now. We always sign up for their value program which gives the discount on any plumbing work they do. Most recently had them in to clear the clog in my kitchen sink. At first I was told it would be two days before they could come out. But a few hours later they called me back and they were on their way. Showed up quickly, gave me a quote, I approved the work, he fixed the clog in minutes. Cost me about $250.00.

I called in the morning and they sent Stephen out that afternoon. They called to tell me they were running a little later than the window they had initially provided and called again when they were on their way. Before entering the house, Stephen slipped on little surgical booties to keep my carpet and floors clean. (What a thoughtful gesture of this provider!).. Work was done quickly and professionally for a reasonable price. I will continue to use this company.

I was not home when the tech came, my sister handled the details. All went well, very professional and got the job done and have had no problems since. She said the tech was extremely nice and friendly. No problems with anything that was done. He did use the coupon provided by Angies List so the price came down to about $180.00. The thing that I didn't like was the service call fee. This is charged no matter what they do. If they do nothing you are charged. If they do the job, that is charged on top of the cost of the repairs. Most places would include that in the total price. Then they try to offer a deal with no service charges if you pay them $99.00 up front and then you never pay another service call fee. That means you can only use them if you want no service charge. Why was that not on the Angies List page??. I will not use them again. The choice was mine to make to have them do the work so paying the service charge is on me. I will not use them again. Sad cause I really liked the work they did and the people were great.

I am sorry that you had a bad experience regarding our MVP Plan. However, I think that a few key points may have not been explained to your sister thoroughly. For $99, only charged the first year, our MVP customers receive waived $48.50 Trip Charges anytime you want us to come out and look at something PLUS 15% off all Plumbing Labor Charges on each visit, Priority Scheduling, a Yearly Home Inspection, and monthly email specials and discounts that only MVP customers can use. The renewal fee for this plan is $69.00 a year, after the first year. I sincerely apologize for the miscommunication regarding our MVP Program and would like to make this right for you if I can. We have issued a one year MVP Plan for your home address, free of charge. You will be receiving the packet in the mail in the next few days and in that explains all the features and benefits of this plan. We only ask that you please give us another chance to service your home in the future, should the need arise. We appreciate your business and your feedback.

Although the technician was pleasant, he recommended a new tankless water heater before we even reviewed why I called for service. Apparently, the builder routed the water pipes in an unusual way. So much time was needed to figure out the issue. The technician continued to recommend tankless or simply removing the second water heater and just going with one. That doesn't seem like the best course if the home was built with two to accommodate the number of bedrooms and anticipated usage. He did reroute water and gas to the working water heater, but before writing up the ticket he pulled out a water testing kit and proceeded to test our water and recommend a filtration system. By this point, I knew a second opinion was in order. Two days later, a technician from another company gave me the bad news that the Milton Frank technician broke the on/off gas valve on one of the water heaters. Although quotes were fairly comparable, I'm going with A+ Castle Plumbing.

Milton Frank Plumbing has hired James, a true professional at his craft. James was the lead plumber in all the work performed at our our home. He was most efficient and friendly. He was on time and courteous. He was able to quickly diagnose and solve our plumbing needs. My husband and I would not hesitate to call Milton Frank Plumbing again for any plumbing concerns. James has set the standard high!

The technician arrived on time performed the work prescribed with good result. There was one issue with the installation in that the on/off knob does not go up and down like it used to. The off switch is now in the 165 degree position rather than the 180 degrees. My understanding is that this is something that cannot be fixed but we would have appreciated a comment from the technician. Otherwise, we were happy with end result. The lack of water pressure is effectively resolved. Updated Comments: No issues with the updated work. It works perfectly and the water pressure is much better than before. If you want a good plumbing job, these are the folks to call.
Description of Work: Changed Valve in Shower. Updated Comments: Somebody else came out and reassessed our issue and ended up staying here for 4 hours to replace the complete housing unit of the shower at their expense. This was unexpected but appreciated. The shower now works perfectly and I would recommend Milton Frank to anybody because they treat the customer with respect.

WOW! Talk about Customer Service...... I called Milton Frank Plumbing this morning, as my toilet has been clogging for 3 days. The Receptionist was professional and courteous, and she had a Tech at my house by 2:00. He was such a nice guy and even caulked around the toilet to make sure that it didn't continue to move and cause problems in the future. I was so impressed that I purchased the Yearly Maintenance Plan. It's not often that you encounter a Company that is able to encompass all of the aspects needed to provide great Customer Service, but they have done it! Ask for Daniel....he's awesome!

Milton Frank was quick to respond to our call, gave us a fair estimate of cost and length of time to complete the job. The technician was friendly, experienced and on time. He completed the job earlier than estimated and cleaned up after. We joined their value plan and received a $130.00 discount. We were very pleased with their service and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
