We needed new bathroom fixtures each time I had them come in. I used to be able to do most of the work myself but because my wife and I wanted it done right I decided to try Michael & Son. I am glad I did, they came in looked at what was needed and completed the work very quickly. The only complaint I have is when I called to set up the service I asked for an estimate and was told they could not give an estimate until they came to my house, not what I wanted to hear but I understand. If they could at least give a range of the type of work requested it would help. I have bypassed companies before because I have a certain amount I want to spend and it doesn't help when they won't give out any information that you can go off of. But I am glad I selected Michael & Son and will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: I have used Michael & Sons a couple of times for plumbing issues and I have to say each time when the work is done it is very professional and exceeds my expectations. I looked for other companies because of cost but I must say you get what you pay for and I have not been disappointed. Unfortunately I have another issue and will more than likely call them again. I would definitely tell a friend or neighbor to use them if asked for a dependable plumbing service.

The spigots were replaced, as well as a length of pipe running from from the spigots. He also replaced our rubber supply hoses with the stainless steel braided ones I had purchased earlier. It took a little bit longer than I thought it would, but that was because of the unexpected welding.
Description of Work: The hot and cold water spigots that supply water to our washing machine were so badly corroded that they were leaking. I called Michael and Sons on Friday and had an appointment scheduled for the following Tuesday. The technician who arrived was great. He was very nice and didn't leave a trace of dust behind. My only complaint would be that the price was steeper than other companies that I called - but the work and labor comes with a guarantee and the plumber was licensed and insured. This piece of mind was worth a few extra bucks. I'll definitely call them again.

Five years ago, we had a short in the main electrical panel for our house. We called Michael & Son to repair the problem. At that time, they replaced the entire panel and upgraded the circuits where necessary. We are now selling our house, and the home inspector saw the work and had some minor objections; wrong screws to hold the panel in place, a connector not wrapped completely, etc. Anyway, I called Michael & Son and they sent someone out to correct the problems listed at NO CHARGE! They even arranged for the county electrical inspector to come. They have been very accomodating, prompt, understanding and thorough. Everyone I've dealt with at the company has been great. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them. We have over the years used them for other problems we've had with plumbing, and that has gone well also.

They're good on small jobs but I wouldn't recommend them for any bigger projects. They were messy, and not very thorough. They claimed to know how to do things that they actually had no idea about. Once the job was done the quality of their work was almost decent aside from a leak in the tile that leaks water to the unit below me.
Description of Work: I've used them before to do some major remodeling on 2 condos to combine them into one big unit.

Mr. Money, the plumber from Michael and Son, arrived on time, fully explained the work that needed to be done, and the cost of that work. Once I signed off, he went to work. He identified a few other areas that I am going to keep an eye one in the future, because they are near the end of their life. When I went up to inspect his work, I realized that the toilet was incorrect. In no way his fault--we had ordered the wrong toilet. Although I was disappointed, he gave me some ideas on where I might be able to find the correct toilet. He gave me his number and said he'd come back and switch out the toilets when it arrived. Luckily, we were in need of new toilet in our hall bath, so he switched the "wrong" toilet with the 1970s model in the hall bathroom and put the "correct" toilet in the master bath. Everything has worked perfectly since he left. I now have him on my phone under "Good Plumber." I will be calling him back in the future for other jobs.
Description of Work: Called and was able to arrange service the next day. Initially, I had two things that needed a plumber's attention. 1. Needed to replace a toilet. 2. Had an outside water spigot that was incorrectly connected to our hot water line.

it went very well. Both service professionals were courteous and respectful, and wore booties in the house. They also cleaned up after their work. The only glitch was that our permit application for the new circuit panel was delayed, so I had to follow up to track that down. But other than that, I was very pleased.
Description of Work: We had electrical and plumbing issues at the same time so I called Michael and Sons because I had heard they could handle different services quickly. Sure enough we had an electrician and plumber out the same day as I called. Both were very professional, prompt and diligent on their work. When it appeared that we needed to replace the whole circuit panel and move it to a different location, the electrician came back on New Years Eve day and worked very hard into the evening until he completed his work, despite the holiday. With our clogged drains, the plumber used a high tech high pressure system that made the 80 year old pipes clean as a whistle.

I had waterproofing done on a finished basement, so the drywall had to be repaired. The waterproofing removed the lower 2 ft of drywall along two walls, approximately 13' and 10'. I needed the work done quickly which is why I called Michael & Sons. I think they are a bit more expensive but they met my expectations, which was to do a quote quickly, schedule quickly, and perform quality work that was guaranteed. Once they finished the drywall work they painted the walls. I got paint to match the existing color and they painted and patched nicely. I would use them again in a pinch, but if I have more time and flexibility I prefer to find smaller companies and save a little money.

Description of Work: An electrical outlet melted two cord plugs and was smoking and smelling. This was on a Sunday morning and after calling the Fire Department who came for inspection and told us to get an electrician quickly, we called Michael and sons, among others. They responded quickly and were the only one among several on Angie's List who did. Guilmer arrived, took off his shoes at the front door, prepared the work site and did the job quickly, rewiring and replacing the outlet. He was courteous and efficient. The cost for an emergency call, we thought, was a bit much. However, we were desperate to be put at ease that no hidden sparks or smoldering was behind our 107-year-old wooden walls. Plus, beggars can't be choosers. The following day, other services we had phoned on Sunday returned our calls but Guilmer had beaten them to the task. We would use the group again.

Very happy with Michael & Son Services Inc.
Description of Work: Our house settled over the past 60 years and crushed the “clay” main sewer pipe that ran from the house to the street. Michael & Son Services Inc. had to jack hammer our bathroom floor and use a sub-contractor to run a special machine that pushed a pipe under our house to the front yard. Then Michael & Son Services Inc. dug up our yard and finished the connection to the street sewer pipe. While the yard was dug up they also replacing the 60 year old main water supply line. The work was done well, quickly, and surprisingly clean. John C. Flood wanted to do an exploratory dig from our bathroom all the way to the front yard for $3600, and then what? They refused to give an estimate. No way!

This was the second time I used this company. They recommended replacing the circuit box. I have restructured garage that we turned into turn into a family room. They thought the room was not up to code. I had another service provider come in and recommended a price of $100. The price that Michael & Son gave us was over $3000. They kept trying to find things that weren't actually problems, and if I wasn't aware and did my due diligence, I would have been in trouble. All that needed to be done was to replace a fuse, and we used a different company for this. Everything has been working fine ever since.

I requested an estimate for installing a gas line to my cooktop. The technician from Michael & Son was very professional and punctual. He gave me the estimate for installing the gas line (a little on the pricey side) but then he walked around and gave me estimates on things I had no idea were going bad or were in need of replacement. He explained what was wrong and why I needed to get it replaced or serviced. I'm probably going to go with a less expensive company but I would recommend this company to anyone because of the excellent professionalism displayed by their technician.

They left so much damage that I will never use them again. There was a leak between the floors and they kept banging out holes in the floor until they found it. The leak was rite where it was leaking, but they checked that part last. They did fix the damage some what. The price was exspensive. I used them because my normal guys could not be here for a few days.

The air conditioner failed. My wife called Michael and son to perform a diagnostic. They arrived when scheduled and determined the compressor had failed. They determined it was still under warranty and provided a quote to do the work including $1900 labor and an additional $800 charge to reclaim, evacuate, and recharge the freon. I had the work performed by Shaw Services for less than 1/3 the price Michael and Son quoted.

I returned from ten days in Hawaii to have my housekeeper tell me that she smelled something in the basement I explained to her that it was natural gas and had to be related to the furnace or hot water heater. I could not smell where the leak was coming from directly. I called Michael and Sons thinking it was the hot water tank and when they checked the line, it was the main line and the connector that went to the new furnace installed by a company that specializes in heating and cooling. Immediately, Michael and Sons dispatched a technician whom immediately corrected the problem. I am glad that the problem was corrected early during a time when I am not using the furnace. Thank you God!
Description of Work: I had two gas leaks that were most likely the result of a competitor that installed a new furnace a few months ago. The other company may have been cheaper than Michael and Sons but when I discovered the problem, I returned to Michael and Sons for the repair since the problems were guaranteed to be fixed correctly and I trust Michael and Sons for the repair. The technician whom came out was Ryan and he was a seasoned plumber and someone whom had many years of experience and he knew exactly where to look for correcting the problem. I had two moderate leaks and one went to a brand new furnace that was installed by a competitor. You can probably guess who/what was the cause there and the other was to the other end of the line which did not experience a problem until now and only one thing changed in the space and that was the removal and installation of new furnaces. I am so glad that Michael and Sons was there to correct these two important issues and they overshadowed the small expansion tank problem that lead me into the basement to fix the problem. If you are in doubt, I recommend that all major repairs be done by Michael and Sons. I know whom I plan to call in the future and I recommend Michael and Sons for plumbing and for gasline related issues. Their prices may be higher than the competitors but it is because the technicians are excellent and are paid higher which is an indication that the person doing the repair like Ryan are OUTSTANDING. Ask for Ryan if you plan on having any gas/plumbing line work done to your home. Thanks-Gary

They showed up on time and were professional but were so overpriced. We requested a quote from Michaels and son to run another water line for an outside spigot. We have an unfinished basement so there were no walls or ceiling in the way. It was simply run a line and poke through the outside wall and install spigot. They quoted $1600 for this job. When we did not sign up right away they dropped the price to $1200. We went with some one else and they charged $400. Needless to say we won't ever ask them for a quote again.

They are excellent and I like them a lot. I give them an excellent rating and the price is reasonable. I would use them again for plumbing because i like the guy.
Description of Work: I used Michael & Son and they do everything. They have handymen, electricians and plumbers. We are using a difference technician we found off Angie's List because you have to pay for a certified technician with them because the handy men do not to electric. That is a draw back for them. They were last here for plumbing back in February or April.

We needed a routine maintenance check-up for both our heating and air-conditioning units and Michael and Sons was running a great deal compared to 4 other places I called. They also had technicians available on the day that worked for me and provided a 4 hour window when they would arrive. The technician called me in the first hour to make sure I was home and to say he would arrive shortly . . . and he did. The technician was very nice and professional and quickly got to work. At one point, I asked about cleaning the discharge/drain line and he said that if he cleaned it, there would be an additional $150 fee but he explained to me exactly how I could clean it so that I could save the money. At the end of the job, the technician talked to me about the condition of the units and left me with brochures explaining the other services they performed (plumbing, electrical, etc). Overall, I was very impressed and will consider signing up for their HVAC warranty service program. When I first called them, they mentioned their "100% satisfaction guarantee" and given how nice everyone was, I believe that they are interested in doing a good job and making sure their customers are happy. I also received a hand written "thank you" note from the technician today and while it doesn't mean a lot in the big scheme of things, it indicates their attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Michael and Son Services for regular HVAC service!

What a total scam. They charge $90 to come out and look at my broken air conditioner, which I already knew had a busted compressor. But they took 15 minutes to confirm this, then charged me $90. That $90, by the way, is not applicable to any work you do with them. Then they tried to tell me that my compressor was out of warranty, and that it would be very difficult to get a new one. A phone call to my A/C manufacturer showed that not to be true. Finally, they wanted to charge $1800 for a job that the next highest quote was $1100 for. Don't bother with these people.
