I admit I hated having to wait a couple of weeks for the appointment. Smelly hot water is not fun to live with, but they did say they would come out sooner if someone cancelled, but.. no one did. They came out at the scheduled evening, and fixed it! I did speak to the plumber that installed the water heater, and he quoted me $200 for the project, which, according to YouTube, would take less than 10 minutes, and only needed a 1 1/16 heavy duty socket and a bucket.. and some strength. After the discount from the coupon from Angie's list, and the fact that we bought the new Anode Rod already.. we still had to pay $110 out of pocket.. guess it's better than $200 total. Norman's also mentioned the 'usual fee' of $200.
Description of Work: We had a new water heater put in just under a year ago, and our water ever since then, had changed! Smelly.. black sediment.. it was GROSS! After contacting our Home Warranty, they told us they don't cover the Anode Rod, which stops the problem. We watched videos on YouTube, cause we were told it's easy to do, and we can save some money. We couldn't get the old rod out, so we turned to Angie's List for a discount plumber. We went with Norman's

As far as I am concerned, Norman's handyman service is a rip-off shop. The handyman wanted $100 to make a hole in the drywall to see the leak. Then another $150 to fix it... most like by tightening a fitting and applying pvc glue. It seems that they believe money grows on trees.
Description of Work: Norman's was hired for a service call to fix a vanity drain leak.

Response from Norman's Home Improvements LLC
First and foremost, you're entitled to your opinion and I will take this opportunity to address some concerns that you brought up in your review. As it relates to your "handy-man" comment, I am a general contractor with the following credentials: 1) I am certified through the state of WI to repair or replace existing plumbing, electrical, and carpentry work throughout WI. 2) I've passed all my tests(which are up to date), received all state licensing, all work is done according to the state of WI code, and I'm bonded plus insured. Now moving on, you seemed confused about the price quote so let me clarify some things for you. You have "a lot" of water damage (water and bacteria= mold) due to prior modifications to the upstairs. I located the issue in 45min and the average charge for locating a leak in a drain is anywhere between $140 to $170 for 1.5hr. So now we're at (keeping it low) $140 that price doesn't include repairing walls. We located the issue, if its a simple tightening down a washer no charge, but to reconnect PVC piping thats another cost depending on how bad it was installed. The average cost to repair a leaky drain $154 to $186 for 1.8hrs, again it doesn't include repairing the wall. Just that alone with no wall repair keeping everything low and not including parts is about $290 plus tax. Now most plumbers will leave the holes in the wall, I give you the option to repair it. Your issue could had been corrected for $225 plus tax, your total price including the Angies List purchase, but you felt I was ripping you off. Just a breakdown of the price, purchase deal $49 estimate repair $250 discount $75= $175+$49=$224+tax with wall repaired (rough finish). I attempted to explain this breakdown to you but you didn't seem to comprehend my explanation for the price quote. To avoid confusion, I encourage all prospective customers to do their own research to determine what a reasonable price for a repair will be, so that you are in a position to make an educated decision about a price without automatically assuming you're being ripped off.

We used the coupon for their electric inspection service from Angie's list. Jason called twice to scheduled and rescheduled the appointment as he had to rearrange it for personal reasons. He was very polite and helpful with our questions. Our problem was solved when he found the right switch for the outlet. The coupon that included $75 for the work covered this inspection trip.
Description of Work: One of our wall outlet seemed out of order.

I bought a deal through them and they said they could come out on Palm Sunday from between 12 to 2PM. I missed a family dinner over this and they never showed up. I called him at 2:30 and it went into a forwarding message. He never called me back and gave no reason why he could not make it.

Hello, I do apologize for the error on my part in scheduling, and this issue has been corrected. I've read your review and your refund was granted by Angie's List. The next day, I offered via email and phone to do your electrical install for free, but to date I've received no response.

i purchased an Angie's List deal toward an electrical service call and credit toward repair work. Based on the time spent troubleshooting, I had to pay an additional amount over the cost of the credit. Unfortunately, our final electrical solution will be a larger, more expensive project, so we have to wait until it is in the budget. Was very friendly and helpful during the troubleshooting, and provided several options. He worked very clean and was respectful of the vintage furniture in our home. (He was also very patient when my 2-year old daughter kept interrupting our conversations.) :) We look forward to using his talents for future projects in our home!

Response from Norman's Home Improvements LLC
Hello, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to service your plumbing needs and I just want to take a moment to address your concern. The reconnection of pipes was a pre-existing setup, in which I brought to your attention and I gave you some direction on how to correct it. Someone previously cut your drain pipes too short and that put your pipes on a 1/4 inch slant and that left less than 1/4" beyond the washer. To correct the issue, you need a 1 1/4" tailpiece extension tube. I recommend a new P-trap because the existing P-trap is cut too short. This is all just a suggestion and thanks for taking out the time to write a review. If you need any further assistance, please give me a call. Jay

It didn't because they weren't really interested in doing business.
Description of Work: I purchased the toilet tune up and he call me right away to tell me they are so busy they can't do anything for 2 weeks and then said he would only come at night and that this was just to "look" at toilets and if anything needed to be done it wasn't included. This doesn't include any repairs and he wanted me to know that before he came. I appreciate his preface but the whole time I felt like he was trying to talk me out of the service so now I am doing just that and getting a refund. If you want my business you don't need to beg me but you do need to act like you are remotely interested in performing the service you are selling!

I declined Jason Norman's verbal estimate because I thought it was high for a licensed plumber and extremely high for a handyman. In the future I will check out contractors not only by their reviews but their website and state licensing. Below are abbreviated comments from Angie's List Representatives. "Thank you for reaching Angie's List. We do have a strict measure for our service provider qualifications. ... Angie's List Representative" "Thanks for reaching out to us! Keep in mind that each provider listed is responsible for reporting their licensing, bond and insurance information. It is not a requirement to be licensed, bonded, and insured to appear on the List, as members may report on any provider they’ve had an experience with. I hope this helps clarify! ... Angie’s List"

For starters, let's establish the facts. I am state licensed for existing plumbing, electrical and carpentry work and I'm bonded and insured. You had TWO VERY OLD SINKS, in need of an upgrade. I gave you a quote on replacing your shut off valves and water lines. Yes, both water lines and valves were very corroded, but! You only wanted valves. You didn't understand your water lines were the old metal lines which were leaking from the connection points. So, no! You don't reuse them just replace them. I still gave you a really good deal for everything, but you declined it and that's okay. In turn, I said sorry that you feel my price is still too high and I granted you the refund. I believe and encourage feedback and reviews from customers but it is important that accurate facts are given so those reading the review can better understand the chain of events. Angieslist is awesome to their customers and contractors but, you still need to do your homework. Not only should you check licensing etc., but call BEFORE your purchase and ask for an estimate and contractor's availability. Just don't be surprised when you find out that most contractors won't work for pennies.

Mr [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry that you felt cheated out of the deal, but! What you don't understand is that WORK was done and the leak was stopped. I felt I was very honest at not trying to take you for more money. The deal was to replace your outside water faucet. I showed you where the the actual problem was at and how to fix it in the future. You had a GATE VALVE, on a gate valves a lot of plumbers will past on trying to reopen them up because it takes physical work. Yours just needed a little cleaning and a little movement to work out the grit or settlement in the pipe. Now I could of easily charge you an extra 225 to cutout/replace a shutoff valve and then replace your (non issue) faucet per the deal. Maybe you would've felt better about me and my work, but! I don't work like that, most plumbers charge 160 just to reopen a gate valve whether it takes them 2mins or 1hr. I've just called the work that I did performed even for your purchase deal.
