Estimator was 2 hours late. Looked over project and said would get back to me in a couple of days with an estimate. 5 days later I called the office and was told that someone would call me the next day. Here it is going on a week later. I had told the estimator that if they could not install the tankless that was not a problem just let me know so we could go with a plan B. Going with a different company for plan B.

Response from Colonial Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc.
Good morning Mr. [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry you didn't get your estimate for the tankless water heater. I looked at it this morning and it looks like we sent the proposal last week. I can't see if it was mailed or emailed but I'd be happy to send it again or bring it by your house after church today. The email address I have is mftcmagicATgmailDOTcom. I certainly understand if you have decided to go to plan B. By the way, great choice to go with tankless. If you would me to get you the proposal just call or text me at 804-640-2169. Sorry again. James Kester My email to you just got returned so I assume we have the wrong email address. I will get Frank to call you this morning.

I have been working with Colonial Plumbing and heating for over a year; both personal and professional capacity. I have dealt with many difference administrative and technical staff. Each person has always been helpful, courteous and professional. They arrive on time, if not earlier, and provide accurate written estimates. The technicians are knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely professional. I really appreciate this company and all of their staff. It doesn't matter if its a small job like lighting a gas fire place or a large job-installing gas lines or repairing units, they are always professional, courteous and within the estimate.

The serviceman Joe was polite, respectful, knowledgeable, and personable. I appreciated how he explained what he was doing along with his findings as he went along. Because of him, I purchased a service agreement and now look forward to a long and mutually beneficial working relationship with Colonial Plumbing and Heating! EVERYTHING is expensive nowadays, but I do feel that I got my money's worth! It was a very positive experience.

Tony was prompt and fixed my frozen/leaking outdoor spigot the day that Richmond received the January snow. The price was highly reasonable and he fixed the problem within an hour. He was kind and professional. And was even willing to look at my toilet quickly when the main job was completed. If I have any plumbing problems in the future I would certainly call Colonial Plumbing and Heating again.
Description of Work: Outdoor spigot was frozen and leaking. Replaced outdoor spigot and installed a cutout valve on the PEX pipe in the crawl space.

Very well! Jacob was very prompt, efficient and professional. He had done some work several months before that, replacing bath tub faucet and had given me an estimate on the other work I needed done. Everything that has been worked on works very well! The estimate of time/cost was spot on! Would definitely recommend their services.

Actually, when I had the house inspection it failed. What happened was apparently the supervisor didn’t come out to review the installation. I had all kinds of leaking going on. They had removed the vapor barrier from underneath the air handler and that was the first time I had mold and mildew growing. They’ve been servicing me a while, but for years we’ve had some issues where I’ve had to call them back. They did repair and there was no cost to everything after I showed them what the inspector had indicated. I thought the price was good. I thought it was competitive. They need to follow up. They should have installed that right in the first place. I would use them again, but they need to be followed up.
Description of Work: It was the initial installation. They put a new air conditioner in and a new air handler.

Excellent they are very good and on time. I thought their rates were a bit little high, but given the nature of my emergency need on a Sunday for when one of my water pipes burst back in January when we had a really, really, really cold snap here in Virginia. They came out and capped it, because the water was coming in my house. They were good, and professional, and courteous. I wasn't expecting to pay out as much as I did but it was well worth it. A day later another pipe burst and they had to come back and fix that one. They were very good. They were very prompt and courteous. They took the time to explain everything they were doing and everything else. They had to do a third visit because they had to come out and reconnect the line that they capped. I would give them an A because they came they were very responsive. Another company I called said they couldn't get anybody out for 24-48 hours. I said that isn't going to work because I have a 2 year old grandson living in the house. Not knowing the prices I would still give them an A because the most important thing was that they were here when we needed them. Price would be a B+ because I thought they were a little high in the first place. Quality is an A on that because they fixed it they checked it and they fixed it. They also came out and did the piping insulation for me. When I called them at 3 they had someone out here by 5 on a Sunday. They were here when they said they would be so I would give them and A too. If I could give them an A+ I would give them an A+. The office was very professional. When I questioned something on the bill they actually made an adjustment because of my question. They were real top notch. They even let my grandson hold the flashlight for them so he could see. The hallway lighting was also out because of the water damage. They were in my phone until I erased my contacts so I need to go back and put there in there.
Description of Work: They repaired some burst pipes.

The company helped us with the emergency situation a few years back when the entire house was not draining at all. A few years later, we ran into a similar situation, and they assisted in helping the house drain again, identifying the source of the new problem. They have since installed a work-around / back up drain clean out. The employees that have come out have been thorough and made sure we were back to draining sewer wise normally. They also gave us valuable advice with regards to the plumbing concerns we had. While we heard of the company through another friend at work, they are deserving of being on Angie's List as a reputable contractor. I will be contacting them shortly for another maintenance call.
Description of Work: We have contacted Colonial on several occasions with regards to sewer back up issues on a City of Richmond line/our house.

They were excellent. They checked it so I could sell the house with a clean slate. They did tell me the HVAC system had some age on it, but nothing was wrong with it. It was in good working order. They were able to talk with me and communicate with me in such a way that I felt comfortable with the person and I felt like the person was knowledgeable and could communicate with me the customer.

Serious lack of detail in their quote, mysteriously went down $500 after asking for an itemized quote. That quote still showed no actual detail (anticipated labor, rate, parts...). Agreed to using them for cutting and rerouting because of friend's referral, but not for fixture installation. Showed up 2 1/2 hours late, they went to Lowe's, then left early (3 total hours later) while away for lunch. They rescheduled 3 days later, cancelled the morning of. After adjusting my schedule twice already. Attempted to reschedule two days later and during that period developed overwhelming septic smell in the house. Turns out that one of the fittings for the newly routed drain had come loose. Asked for current bill so that I could introduce a new plumber, and was charged $350 for 2.5 hours of work. The new 34 year master plumber suggested that they did about an hour's worth of work.$140/hr labor rate... Overpriced, zero punctuality and lack of detail in their estimates. Would not recommend in any way.

Hi Ms [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry you weren't pleased with the service we provided at your home and I'm concerned about some of your review. According to an email from your husband we were asked to postpone the work on the day we cancelled the appointment due to the snow on your street that hadn't been plowed yet. If we caused the cancellation and it wasn't weather related I'm sorry that it happened. Regarding the septic system, we were under the understanding that you had major issues with the septic system that would cost $6,000 to repair and you needed to postpone the project until that was taken care of. I reference this because we strive to meet or exceed our customers expectations. If we don't know we have disappointed someone we can't make it right. If there is something I can do to salvage our relationship please let me know. Just as important to me is the fact that a friend of yours recommended us and now it looks like we have put him/her in an uncomfortable situation. Again I want to apologize for not meeting your expectations and would like to know if there's something I can do that would help the situation. James Kester [Removed Hyperlink]
