Bob Laudette, owner of James Carboni Plumbing and Heating…read morefor over 33 years, was negligent in fulfilling his contract upon the installation of the furnace on December 3, 2019.  "ALL WORK WILL BE PERFORMED IN A NEAT AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER AND WILL MEET OR EXCEED ALL STATE AND LOCAL CODES."   Obviously he did not inspect the installation of the project on December 3 or he was not up to date on building codes.  The building inspector gave him 3 citations for code violations.The chimney clean out door was cemented ..a potential fire hazard. Contrary to Bob Laudette's explanation, the chimney was serviced prior to installation and given a stamp of approval!  The oil line was not protected properly and would cause a major oil leak if someone tripped over it and dislodged it; the duct work/ bonnet was installed with major gaps heating the basement to over 90 degrees. Besides the citations for code violations, Bob Laudette has ignored issues with the furnace and units: combustion issues with small explosions, malfunctioning humidifier, blower so powerful it rattles doors, oil leaks, filters to keep the blower working properly and to insure quality of inside air malfunctioning, extensive dust, uniform distribution of heat is deplorable with the basement heated at 90 degrees and the upstairs rooms are cold. All this for $7500? Now Bob Laudette wants to come and service the new furnace three months later after he ignored numerous calls in January and in fact cancelled a service call. At that point, I had to call reputable and licensed contractors to check out the furnace but the problems still persist. I contacted other agencies for help.  Consumer Protection who has limited authority suggested I pursue legal representation.  My mother, Amelia Wakely, expected and paid for what she thought was an up to date working oil furnace. Why would anyone keep a lemon; deal with a company who fails to treat a client in a professional manner or not at all; who does substandard work and delivers a defective product and writes they have a great business ethic!  Could Bob Laudette possibly service the furnace in the future if he can't deliver an up to date American Standard working furnace now? My mother wants her money returned, the furnace and so forth removed, and the mess they left cleaned up. Bob Laudette did not install a system free of charge out of the goodness of his heart. Lastly, my mother's health living under these conditions has deteriorated since the furnace was installed December 3,2019 . With the pandemic, the directive now is to shelter in the safety and comfort of your home. The safety of her home is a health hazard. How insensitive Bob Laudette is to suggest this is a frivolous matter! Hopefully our experience will save someone from grief in the future! Photos supplied upon request!

Our first experience with Plumbums was excellent - we had an emergency issue, Jim was able to come…read moreout within an hour or two and get it fixed, and he was on his way. When our pipes froze during the big storm this January (thankfully, without water in them), we decided to hire Plumbums again. That didn't go as well. Quality of work: The fixes Jim suggested (a series of individual junction fixes) seemed reasonable for the repairs needed, but in some cases replacing whole sections would have been more time- and cost-efficient (according to other plumbers we've had in our home who have seen the work done). And we needed four return visits within our first three days living in the house to address issues that had not been resolved or that popped up as soon as we turned systems on. One problem (heat running constantly on our first floor, making the house over 80 degrees in the winter) was unresolved until I researched possible causes myself and communicated that to Jim, who sent out one of his guys to implement the fix. Professionalism: We were frustrated by the lack of care shown toward our property. Jim's guys left plumbing debris (not just the stuff our homeowner's insurance requested, but just straight-up trash), food trash, and drywall dust in our basement and living areas. This means that the first thing we had to do after driving 3,200 miles to move in was clean up after them. Drywall was removed roughly in several locations, and although patching was not included in the estimate, the cuts themselves appeared unnecessarily sloppy (and our new plumber neatly cuts and replaces drywall as a matter of course, leaving the mudding to us, which is fine). Plumbums did work well with our insurance company to get our claim handled, and ultimately we have working plumbing. But our experience wasn't great.

Called again over two weeks after that and spoke with a man who said he was (either) an owner or manager. I explained that I had two of his employees come out to my house but hadn't received an estimate. Well, he was not really rude, but he went off on how they were working and working "every day of the week " and he had seen the guy who came out to the house working on estimate and again they never had a day off all they did was work.. and etc. Since I was a potential customer (for a very expensive job) I was just taken aback at complaints about too much work when there are millions out of work. I remember thinking that he should hire more people! Also to bitch to a potential customer?? Bad business practice. I decided to wait until they called me as I had called back twice. After all, I then said (to myself) that I'm not going to chase someone so I can give you tons of money. I never got a quote or was contacted.

Today, All Things Sewer and Drain Care came out to scope, jet, and record the condition of my clay…read morepipe sewer lateral. Turns out, it's in excellent condition!!! There are no bellies in the line to be concerned about and the joints are holding together correctly. I was even told how deep my lateral is in the ground. It runs 16' deep by the time it reaches the edge of my front lawn. No way frost can cause any issues with that pipe. He just saved me $20k, based on a quote from another company. Here's what you need to know when you call All Things Sewer and Drain Care. First, you'll reach Paul, the owner, who is incredibly professional with his pricing and the work he does. When we spoke on the phone he let me know what the cost would be for the first hour and then additional costs after that. During the whole process of scoping and jetting the lateral he kept me informed. I now have a video showing the condition of my sewer lateral on my laptop as a reference. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is in need of having their sewer lateral cleaned and inspected.

Lessard's was recommended to me by a an electrician that I respect. For that reason, I overlooked…read moreit when I had to leave multiple messages to get an initial call back. An appointment was eventuallyset up to diagnosis. Brad diagnosed the problem and charged $325. I had been told that a portion of this ($150-the cost of the initial visit/diagnose) could be applied to the extensive work that needed to be done. Brad told my husband that he would be in touch with an estimate, and we could then determine whether we wanted to go forward; given that we had already sunk $325 into it, we had pretty much determined that we would. I have not been able to reach Brad since and that was over 3.5 weeks ago, despite leaving multiple messages. I did speak with his secretary and was told he "has half the estimate done. I'll give him a nudge to get going on it." I waited another 4 business days and still did not hear back. My husband tried the following week and was told (verbatim) "has half the estimate done. I'll give him a nudge to get going on it." My husband expressed frustration and his secretary was equally frustrated with being questioned. We both tried again- and still have not received any calls back. The most frustrating part of this is that we will now have to pay another HVAC repair person the SAME AMOUNT to due the SAME THING, since I'd imagine most repair people would want to determine the source of the issue, and not rely on another man's work. Ultimately, a waste of money (that should have been put to repairing our AC) and time. Stay far away!!!!
