Bruce answered my call on a Saturday night, gave me a quick rundown of the how/why of raccoons in chimneys, and reassured me that the raccoon wasn't stuck. He came out the following Sunday afternoon, installed a one-way door, and returned 2 days later to inspect the chimney and install metal screening over the flues. His prices were reasonable, and I felt comfortable dealing with him remotely. Job taken in care of in an efficient and professional manner, while I'm still waiting for call-backs from two other companies!

i would give Alan Fortes a 6 if i could! we arrived at our seasonal cabin last Saturday afternoon…read moreto find the hot water tank leaking. Alan showed up more or less immediately in response to messages, bringing a new tank and a friendly, helpful attitude with him. when it turned out a different tank was needed, he went back and got it. he spent Saturday evening doing the messy grunt work of getting the old tank out and the new one in and was unfailingly cheerful and enthusiastic the whole time. a lot of people would show up and do the job, but make sure you knew it was ruining their Saturday night. not Alan! the work was done flawlessly and he cleaned up after himself far better than necessary. at the very end he was still upbeat enough to show me the cool remote control spotlight on his truck :) thank you Alan!

A. P. Fortes Plumbing and Heating is a five star company. On a Monday, I walked into my utility…read moreroom to find a puddle under the hot water heater. Cups and buckets were helping the situation but it was clearly a losing battle. Calling Alan's office, they recognized the urgency of the situation and soon sent Derrick over to examine the problem. The leak was getting worse and Derrick shut down the water heater and took the pressure off it. The following day Eli showed up with a new water heater, removed the old one and installed the new one, and by late afternoon he and Alan had the new one working perfectly. Amazing response from start to finish! Alan and his company are extremely accommodating and congenial. I highly recommend A. P. Fortes for all your plumbing needs.

I understand the need to make money on the island but what some plumbers charge you JUST TO SHOW UP AT YOUR DOOR is insulting. And he answers his phone. We have had some plumbers that not only do not answer their phone, they never even return your call to say "we are too busy to handle your business at this time". Not Mike. AND he texts us pics of what he is doing or has done. Gotta appreciate that. Give him a call for your next plumbing needs, see for yourself.

Their problem is they change their work schedule on the date they are supposed to show up. That is beyond frustration. Then, they will call you again, to reschedule it for another several weeks later. It is highly unreliable doing the work with them. And, they do not explain or apologize, that is another issue I have with them. But, when they show up. their work is okay, but slightly more expensive than other contractors on the island. I almost think they abuse the clients-contractor relations, for those who have few options for the plumbers, they should really consider someone else off-island. Because of their very poor time-managing issues, they only get 2 star, otherwise 3.5.
