Wish zero stars was an option. We bought our home on Cross Lake in 2020 just in time to winterize…read moreit as we are seasonal residents. Before heading south, we signed an agreement with Culligan for water treatment (2 tank rental system due to space issues). We were told to just let them know when we needed the system installed in the spring of 2021. We scheduled the installation for April, and everything seemed good. In 2022 we also were able to schedule an April installation to coincide with our return to the lake. That summer, and in 2022 we experienced major inconsistency from month-to-month with the clarity of our water. Whenever we contacted Culligan we were assured that the tanks were property regenerated and that it must be something at our end. We were led to believe that we were the only customers reporting this issue, but we did have technicians tell us during delivery that many complaints were received during certain months. This year we received a similar schedule in Mid-March. I contacted the office and asked if we could have our initial delivery/install on the week of April 17th, since we were returning home for a family funeral. The answer was an emphatic "NO". No delivery before May 26th. I asked what changed and was told that corporate made the decision in view of the heavy snow and cold this winter. I asked how that could impact operations in the 2nd half of April and received no response. I asked if they are delivering to year-round customers in April and was told "Of course". I asked why the truck that was going by our home to the year-round customers could not stop on the way by and was told again, "No seasonal customers will have deliveries before May". After the discussion with Culligan, I contacted a competitor who agreed to install their system at our home on the day we arrived at the lake. The water color and quality is much better, and the customer service is much, much, much better. While the up-front cost was not cheap, our long-term costs will be less than with Culligan. Evidently, Culligan feels it is acceptable for customers to live with hard, brown water that stains laundry and fixtures for their first month of the season. We had heard that they were planning to get out of the tank rental business, which is fine. You would think that if this was their goal, they would offer incentives for current customers to switch systems, but this is not the case. The staff shows zero empathy for their seasonal customers and basically says "too bad, so sad". Seasonal residents: Run away fast if Pine City Culligan is looking for your business.

He has replaced two water heaters for me and takes care of the annual maintenance on them. Today he rescued me again on short notice, this time from a broken toilet spigot. He took the time to show me the better quality valve compared to the one that was broken. It was noticeable. Then there is his personality that shows his dedication to old-fashioned customer service. That's hard to find these days. Jon showed me his estimate and we worked out the options we could pursue. He is worth every penny just knowing that he is here to stay in this community. Thanks Jon. I know if things go south you will be there quickly.

We…read morehad some home issues of prior owners cutting corners or incorrectly trying to do things on their own and unfortunately while replacing our water softener we ran into many issues and a few days later our water heater went out. American Eagle Plumbing to the rescue! We had an amazing experience working with them. They were able to help us right away, no waiting for weeks or up charge for immediacy. A true local, mom and pop company with human values. We're a younger couple with not a lot of emergency money to work with for when something big goes out and they were willing to work with us on payment and being able to pay in cash for a lower rate. We never felt like we were being taking advantage of or tricked into anything. I've seen a few reviews about the long time that they were at their residence, but that was reassuring to me! They made sure the job was completely done perfectly. My husband and I both still work from home and we barely heard a peep. The work was done a few months ago and we have had zero future issues with our new water heater and water softener they helped install. I'm so grateful to them! Having to do big repairs or replacements in your home can be daunting, stressful, and expensive and we will continue to call American Eagle Plumbing in the future for our home and have recommended to our neighbors in Hutto as well. A few days after their work they sent us cookies from the local Tiff Treats! We were completely surprised and it was so heartwarming. These days working with businesses can feel like a manipulative game; hire American Eagle Plumbing and you will get kindness and be made to feel like a family or friend. Highly recommend!

To put it succinctly, Darla gets shit done! In a world where customer service reps are often in part of an outsourced call center or worse, e.g., human-independent speech recognition voice-jail mazes, it is so refreshing to not only speak to an actual human being but also a person that is supremely cognizant of every aspect of the company's operation. I was inadvertently omitted from the delivery schedule my first month after initial installation, all it took was one call to Darla for this error to be corrected in a timely fashion without any drama.

The…read moretechnician gave so many reasons the lights might be flickering, he talked me into a 'whole house' electrical exam stating it would take 2 hours, I would say he spent half the time padding it out with conversation or going outside the house to talk on his phone. (I paid double the going rate for such services in the metro) I was given three plans to completely redo my electrical systems in a 'Cadillac' version. I was pressured to sign on the dotted line, when I said I had to think about it, was given incentives like the exam fee would be waived and I had to decide then and there or I'd not be able to get the work done for months. I never contacted the company to be pushed to do a whole house rewiring. For that work I'd always contact 3 companies and get bids. I've had traumatic experiences with contractors and just this meeting was enough to make me nauseous afterward.
