Overall went well. The only bad thing was the price.
Description of Work: My elec hot water heater started leaking on a Saturday evening. Joined Angie's List that day. Called or emailed several plumbers on Sunday and Hartlaub was the first to get back to me that day. Got the hot water heater the next day. Josh did the work and I would ask for him again. The owner came to my place to deliver a pan that needed to be replaced too. Josh also gave me some advice about my furnace.

Josh is always punctual, courteous and thorough. His behavior and conduct is always professional and respectful. He is periodically working his way through the electrical system in the home, at my request, upgrading electrical outlets,air returns, heating registers, or other miscellaneous electrical issues. He updates me throughout the process and informs me of any obstacles or issues surrounding an installation or update. He is also very mindful of codes and adheres to those standards. He is also very efficient and completed the tasks in less than 2 hours on this date. In addition, he is very knowledgeable and able to predict the possible costs and complications of various future projects. This makes it easier to plan ahead and stay within a budget. He is also very well groomed and super clean in completing indoor and outdoor tasks.
Description of Work: Update, test and ground 4 electrical outlets in the home. Install new wall register that I had purchased. Trim and affix outdoor wire that was dangling from roof connection. Advise and discuss several upcoming electrical projects in the home/basement.

Josh is always courteous, prompt, very professional and efficient. We had discussed the project in advance and I had purchased the recommended materials that would be needed in order to keep costs under control. We had also discussed the cost and his original quote was honored. He checked 5 different outlets, determined the status of each and completed the work in 1.5 hours. His work is always neat and he causes no damage, plus he wears shoe covers when indoors. Each plug had a different style/issue, but Josh standardized the lot and they look and work just great. We also discussed future outlet replacement in the other rooms and he examined some of the unusual cases and made a determination/recommendation of what could be done and what supplies would be needed. He is very knowledgeable and polite and if there is ever a problem with work done he will remedy it within the day if at all possible.
Description of Work: Survey/replacement of 5 electrical outlets in living room and bedroom. Check status of future outlets to be upgraded.

Josh is always courteous, professional, goal-oriented, and a problem solver (and very neat and quiet). He surveyed the situation and checked in after doing so to update me on the existing electrical in the garage. He installed the light, tested and reviewed it with me and described how adjustments could be made if necessary. He discussed the need for improvements on the electrical panel, wiring etc. in the garage. After completing the light installation he was able to survey the basement of the home and point out solutions to other projects that I had on the list. He is also able to give me rough estimates of costs on future projects so that I can plan my budget accordingly. It is always a joy to work with him as he is very enthusiastic and gladly tackles any challenges by providing a range of options. He really seems to enjoy his work and helping others on the job.
Description of Work: Installed new motion detector light in garage soffit, where no light had existed. Tested light and made adjustments. Surveyed garage electrical wiring, panel etc., various switches, outlets etc. Discussion of other heating/electrical future jobs in home: electrical outlets in home, cold air return installation in bedroom, metal dryer vent installation in basement, A/C replacement, upgrade of garage electrical panel etc.

Josh and Tom did a phenomenal job. They arrived 2 minutes early and were polite, efficient and quiet. Josh is the supervisor and is very knowledgeable, respectful and professional in appearance and demeanor. They spent the entire day on the installation and kept me updated on their progress. They were extremely neat and did not leave a trace of dust, dirt or debris. I noticed a slight vibrating noise a day later and contacted Josh. He was prepared to come out immediately to remedy the situation. I was not available at that time so we made an appointment for a few days later. Josh made the repair and then I noticed another rattling noise. He was quickly able to locate the source of the problem that was vibrating and creating a humming noise, which was a flimsy register cover in the hallway. He measured the register and recommended a smaller size and sturdier construction. He offered to obtain and install it if I was unable to find the appropriate kind. I am delighted with the service that this company provides. My only concern is the brand of furnace that they install which has some mixed reviews. However, even the highly recommended brands appear to have a number of dissatisfied customers. I was very impressed with Josh's knowledge, dedication and professionalism and I decided those factors were paramount to my decision. I look forward to a continued relationship with this company.
Description of Work: Installation of Everest (Goodman) gas furnace/filtering system and associated upgrade of piping and valves. Installation of chimney liner for orphaned gas water heater. Installation of rooftop chimney cap.

I was very pleased with the courteous and respectful manner of the plumber.
Description of Work: Brian examined the faucets I was concerned about and determined there wasn't a serious issue. I asked if he could locate the main shut off in the house, as I am a new home owner. He patiently toured the home with me pointing out the various plumbing features and describing their condition. It was very reassuring to gain knowledge of where everything was strategically located so that I could react effectively in an emergency. I would recommend this business for their courtesy and patience. I will be contacting them in the near future for further work. P.S. They also handle heating/cooling, so I can have my furnace tuned as well!

The job was very good. They're punctual. They're very neat. There's no mess when I leave. I have had some plumbers that ruined the floor. They're very professional and very thorough. I feel very comfortable with what he did. I feel that he's very honest. I had some basement work done 5 years ago, and the contractor recommended them for replacing a sump pump.

Went well, communication was outstanding via cell phone calls, emails, or a few text messages. Worked around my schedule even coming in before 6am to get some final work done by a specific date for me. Customer service and communication was great overall.
Description of Work: Had a lot of work done on a new rental property among other miscellaneous work. Replaced 2 rotted out drain pipes, snaked 1st and 2nd floor bathrooms, new vanity installed, new kitchen sink installed, new dishwasher installation (no DW previously), numerous old leaking basement pipes replaced as needed with quality copper lines, new water meeter put in, also water line run to fridge, repaired and secured basement washer sink, capped off old upstairs kitchen pipes into the wall and disconnected them in the basement. I am probably missing a few things but overall great to work with Mike and Brian, will hire again.

They arrived promptly -- on time. Very polite. First they verified with me the work to be done. They started work immediately. They explained and showed me each item as completed. They completed the work as stated on their estimate...no surprises on the final cost. Their original estimate was higher than other plumbers and lower than others. I choose them because of their local reputation for quality work.
Description of Work: Installed new rear frost-free hose bib at raised location in rear yard. Relocated existing concrete utility sink in basement and modified the piping for water and drain. Installed code compliant shock arrestors for wash machine. All passed city inspection. Collected well water sample and provided results along with DNR Form 3300-221.

The installation went very well. I had a cable that pumped water on the wall and he cut a little bit of the section of the cable so that you can run the pipe up. Then he had to do some fancy pipe work to get outside. He did a very good job overall.

The rep that came out was so nice and so informative. I thought I had found a great plumber. He walked through the house, we looked at my laundry list of plumbing issues (including simple faucet leaks to a more complicated shower rebuild) and he said he'd turn a quote around right away. Never heard from him again! Even after emailing him directly to inquire. Again, I was really encouraged when he came to the house, then disappointed by the lack of follow up (I guess they don't need the business??).

Brian came out twice, the first appointment I missed because I had written down the wrong time. He came out the next day, with no extra charge for my mistake. He gave me the estimate, and completed the work the same time. Very professional, courteous, and friendly (even to my two dogs). Also looked at some other plumbing issues I have upstairs, and is going to have the owner, Mark come and give me an estimate because it may involve more than he could see at the time. I will definitely use them as my plumbing company from now on.

Called in the morning and was able to get morning appointment that day. Received written estimate within one hour of arrival. All work was completed by end of business that day. Work area was left clean of debris. Staff very professional and knowledgeable of field. In hindsight, would have asked for a different discharge location, current in right under family room and is very noisy at discharge.
Description of Work: Supplied and installed one new sump pump in an existing location with one new check valve. Also installed one new sump pump in new location, discharge piping out of rear of home through block and ran piping per code.

It doesn't take long after I call them to have an appointment set up. They came out 2 months ago to do plumbing work for a tub. I was ready to put the plates that go against the wall for the faucets in, but the plumber that originally did it did not do it properly. I was unable to put the plates on because there was a big gap. To rectify what he did wrong he would have had to redo the entire job. I am totally unhappy with the, and I am now going to have to do it myself.

I CUT OUT A COUPON. THE SUPERVISOR WAS VERY DISHONEST, SAID THAT THERE IS NOT A PRICE LIST OVER THE PHONE. THERE IS A PRICE LIST, AND HE DID NOT MAKE A TRUE STATEMENT. THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE. THEY DID NOT LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS A TRIP CHARGE BUT SHOWED UP AND JUST EXPECTED IT. THE WORKER WAS GOOD AND LOYAL BUT HIS SUPERVISOR WAS THE ONE NOT BEING FORTHRIGHT. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
