We were trying to work out a time for him to come out. I was available after 2:45 on Thursday and all day Friday. He told me after 3 pm he would go into the premium cost per hr, which it said nothing about on the deal details. He tried to have me make the appointment at 1 pm but I was not able to get off earlier. I decided to cancel and I sent him text to cancel and he never text me back to acknowledge he got my message. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Response from Building Waters
The customer said she wanted work completed after hrs, I explained it would be additional for that, yes I tried to schedule her work for 1:00 because the amount of work she was requesting. She told me she couldn't get of of work any earlier than 2:30. I scheduled her for 2:30 and planned on accommodating her. I recieved a text saying she has canceled her appointment. I thought she was going to reschedule at her convenience. Next thing I know, I have a f review and she canceled the agreed upon time and we never had the opportunity to service her. Why she expected a response from me for a statement made in a text is beyond me. If it was a question I would have responded however, she made a statement, that she had to cancel, with nothing else attached like, will next week be better? Whatever. Everyone loves to text but, so much gets lost in the translation of a text. It would be nice to talk to people via telephone.

During our annual furnace checkup, the repair man told us the water heater needed replacing; it was starting to rust through the bottom. (It was also 24 years old.) A few days later, we saw an Angie's List deal for Building Waters. I called, scheduled the appointment for the following week, and the work was done with no complaints.

Plumber arrived and as we were looking at the system we both noticed at the same time the pipes was broken in two putting co2. Into the basement. He went to the store to get the pipe needed and fixed the system as well as flushing the water heater. He basically saved our lives. Very satisfied.

He was awesome! He was very quick and efficient. He installed a new bathroom faucet, fixed some loose and loud pipes in the basement, and installed a check valve on our sump pump. He also showed us the best way to use our emergency back-up sump pump. We would definitely call Building Waters again.

Purchased the deal before finding out we'd have to pay overtime for a 4P appointment because we work. Didn't get the deal that was advertised. The deal was to replace an outside faucet with a type that would drain itself. Gentleman replaced the faucet with same type. I could have done it myself. Took approximately 20 minutes for the job but we had to pay overtime and were charged more than the original deal. The serviceman did not recommend putting in advertised faucet replacement because it would take even more time/money to install. They should state in their ad that they will charge overtime for appointments after 3P and then do less than the advertised service.

Spoke with building waters to obtain estimate and set up date/time for work to be preformed. When the day came for the job to be done, The workman was an hour late, and his quote was 3 times the amount that I was originally quoted, I informed him of the quote I had gotten and he stated some lame excuses. He was also extremely rude and argumentative. I will say his work was excellent. With the exception of failure to clean up after the job, He left fittings, and material on the floor, and solder in the deep sink. Also was running up and down the stairs every five minutes to get a tool or part from his truck. He wasted over a half hour doing this, then another 5 minutes calling on the cellphone, I was also billed for this time. When he presented the bill it was a few dollars more then originally quoted. After I sat down and figured out the cost I realized that he overcharged me 1 hour for labor. I purchased the 79,00 service call plus the first hour of labor free, from Angies list. I was charged for that hour on my bill. I call Building waters and they explained that I was being charged an extra hour labor because they had to go to the store and get the parts they needed to do the job. I was shocked, never before has anyone charged me an hour labor to get parts. Lastly there was no mention of this charge during the first quote. Buyer beware of this business.

This customers bill came out $10.00 lower than the original quote. The calls that the customer is referring to, were calls from my employee, to me, as he was looking for direction on how to deal with a confrontational customer. What disturbs me is that he is attacking the company's integrity and we try very hard to give good service at a fair price. We are in business to make money.

We cannot say enough good things about Wesley Rosenberg and his crew. We have experience in building and rehabbing our previous two homes. On this kitchen remodel we were functioning as the general contractor, hiring only the plumber and electrician. We know good work when we see it. Wesley and his employees were extremely professional, responsive, willing to work within our budget, creative at solving some challenging problems posed by our old, old house, and patient with us as we redesigned aspects of the project.

Although the problem with the toilet noise seemed to be corrected, it returned as soon as he left. He never made the inspection of the household plumbing. He was a very nice man and very easy to work with, but I was dissappointed in the work.

We had Worked with two different people on this call. The inspection was offered with the first person on the first call and he declined. On the second call we had to sell customer a part. The original call was tune up toilet. We had came to resolve the customers toilet issue in a reasonable time frame on the second call. I'm disappointed the customer did not express her dissatisfaction at the time of service.

Paid for hour service at the price on angles list wich turned to 600.00 real fast. Promised to replace values and leave a professional cover plate on wall . I was left with gaudy hole in wall and a mess everywhere and the cover plate now covers power outlet and looks terrible. Then called to complain and owner met with me and told me I didn't pay for the hole in wall and he refused to make it look professional. This hole is right in everyone's view and is terrible . The owner was rude and disrespectful and refused to fix unless of course I paid more. Would never recommend or rehire there services..terribly unprofessional

Customer tried repairing his own shower valve and ruined it. We installed new shower valve and a 8x8 hole needed to be made in the wall on the back side of shower. There was a electrical switch mirroring the valve on the other side of the wall which complicated everything. Hole was made valve installed . This customer wanted a site unseen price Failing to tell us about the outlet or that to save money on electric bill, they had power shut off by the electric company and the wanted all work (surgery in wall and house) completed via flash lights in the dark. Met with customer on their schedule, after hours to resolve their issues with the request to bring flashlights to inspect hole they didn't like. Upon arrival boy friend was there to bully me and his form of communication was yelling at me. The resolutions I had to offer were not acceptable to them. They expected me to hire a electrician to relocate the switch and outlet and hire someone to re drywall. I told them that could be accomplished with a additional cost to them. They felt I should pay for that. They hired us to change the valve, not remodel in the dark. Angie, please do not send anymore people like these people to me.

I saw the Deal offered by Building Waters plumbing for $79 (1-hour) of plumbing services, which I purchased. Within 24-hrs of purchasing the Deal, I received a call from Wesley (the plumber) and he wanted to scheduled his service within the next 24-72 hours. I wasn't quite ready (needed to purchase the faucet); so I called him about a week later and we scheduled the work for early the week following my call back to him. We were having trouble with our very old toilet running frequently and Wesley made a minor correction and its working great. He also told us where we could purchase parts for our very old toilet! He also installed a new bathroom sink faucet, which I had already purchased. He did a beautiful job and was punctual and very pleasant. I will definitely hire him again! Great find!! RE: Do's and Don'ts: When I originally spoke with Wesley I asked for his phone number to call him back, because it wasn't supplied to me on the Deal paperwork I received following my online purchase through Angie's list. He gave it to me and I misplaced it. So, when I was ready to call him back I had to call Angie's list to get his phone number. (My particular membership did not include this type of "call-in for info" service but they gave me the phone number this one time free of charge - suggesting that I upgrade my membership.) I feel STRONGLY that the Deal Paperwork from Angie's list should automatically provide the service provider's phone number and contact information, including the business owner's name and mailing address.

I agree with the customer, the customer should receive my contact information, as well as the service provider should receive the customers contact number. This will give the service provider the opportunity to reach out to the customer and schedule a time to resolve the work, rather than the customer calling all hrs of the day and usually when I'm in front of another customer. This is not fair to either customer and very unprofessional.

Bought the Big Deal $79 from them which included one hour of plumbing service. We were charged an equipment charge just to use his equipment as well as charged for travel time for him to go get the equipment. Expected it might be more than $79 but seems inflated.

When the customer called me to schedule, she told me that her kitchen sink was plugged. I informed her that the one hour labor is just what it is , 1 hour labor. I also told her that we have to charge a equipment charge due to the cost of the equipment and if it gets broken in her drain, someone ( me) has to replace it . She thought it shouldn't take more than a hour because it was just her kitchen sink. I had brought the proper equipment for the job. Upon arrival, I realized that her kitchen sink wasn't plugged but, her sewer was plugged, which requires bigger and more extensive equipment. I had to go back to the shop and get the correct equipment for the job at hand and resolved the plugged sewer. I had 4 hrs on her job after everything was said and done and I felt charges were fair. I would also say that they had hired handymen in the past to install their plumbing and their plumbing now is not installed correctly and installed in a manner which is not maintenance friendly and plumbing installed in that manner breaks sewer machines all day long. (THE REASON WE CHARGE A EQUIPMENT CHARGE.)

He made two trips. The first adjustment didn't fix the problem, which I noticed next day. He returned in a day and installed the new handle, which fixed it.
