    My basement. After Empire Plumbing left n I cleaned
    Sovy M.

    Well $600.00 later my main blockage was cleared. My folks were flushing baby wipes down the drain. Shaking my head emoji ‍right, I don't know why. Anyhow got a call on a holiday. Googled them, these guys link came up, called them. They took my call, they came in right an hour later. Cleared up the main house backed up hole right away. I cleaned the rest of the **** myself. Desanitized the whole basement myself. Yeah the best cleaning woman ME.

    Leak from garage ceiling
    splash D.

    I was out of state when water was dripping from the garage ceiling at the house in Loudonville, so I called Empire State pluming because of all the good reviews. They sent Victor to the property. Victor was fast and courteous. He communicated clearly on the phone and sent me pictures. However, the whole experience was like getting trapped and sinking as the charges mounted. I couldn't shake the feeling that I had been severely over charged. I will state what happened with pictures. Tell me what you think. 1) $89 dispatch fee, not sure if all plumbers charge that 2) Upon inspection the leak (photo 1), Victor said the leak was from the first floor bathroom water pipe and he needs to open the wall. $158 just to open the wall, I thought that wasn't too bad so I agreed. 3) before opening the wall, Victor said he smelled gas in the garage and it will be $99.99 to perform gas leak diagnose. Even though nobody had smelled gas in the garage, I thought it'd be serious and agreed to go ahead. Then he told me he used soap water found gas leak on an old gas pipe (see photo 2). Fear the severity of a gas, I asked him to fix it. In a couple of minutes, he was done and that was another $113.75. Do you think that gas leak was legit? 3) then Victor opened a small piece of wall in the first floor bedroom. He sent me picture (photo 3), then said that the leak was actually from the second floor bathroom 4) he went to second floor and opened another hole on the wall, then he said he needed to open the third hole (photo 4) just to reach the leaking pipe (photo 5) 5) the pipe joints are new as the bathroom was newly remodeled. Victor explained why the joints could have been leaking if not done correctly then he said fixing the joints would be $318.75. I kept ask him why it would be so expensive, he said he already gave my discount, normally would be more than $400. I complained that it sounded very high, he said that it would take an hour to replace that, labor is high. I thought of getting someone else there, or at least get a price comparison, but since I need to get the leak (water was dripping) fixed ASAP, I reluctantly agreed. In about 20 minutes, he was done (see photo 6). I said this didn't take as much time as he stated and he shouldn't have charged me over three hundred dollars. He said he also needed time to clean up. I didn't know cleaning up can be so expensive. I was charged total of $841.85 (photo 7) for a water leak, left with three holes in the walls. What do you think?

    Finished our basement:…read more Caleb and Brian did an amazing job consulting on and finishing our basement in Mechanicville. We love the final product. When we started the project and were shopping around getting quotes, Caleb did a few things to stand out from the rest. 1) He was cuteous and on time (super easy to do, but not everyone we met checked this simple box) 2) He offered ideas and suggestions that we never would have come up with ourselves 3) He made it clear all his work would be up to code and that they don't skip steps 4) They did 90% of the work themselves (a team came for the carpets) 5) He quickly followed up with a clear digital quote with everthing spelled out so we could make adjustments where needed. We ended up paying slightly over estimate after learning we needed an extension for our electrical box. We didn't encounter many delays, I think the biggest was the first coat of paint. It didn't dry overnight, so that slowed down the next day. Throughout the build, they went above and beyond in a number of ways: - Seeding (and re-seeing), watering and even weeding the lawn - Caleb took us out to shop for slabs giving lots of great input and advice (and the kids got to play with some chickens at the site!). - They gave us detailed breakdowns of pros/cons when choosing all materials / vanitey / outlets / vents / etc (I would assume something like this was common, but after showing family the basement, we have heard how their contractors never gave any input or advice on any decisions). - They have their own dumpster for the materials but it was also extremely helpful to get rid of junk from our basement We have a list of things we plan to do in the future both inside and outside, and we are 100% going to Caleb. If he isn't available, we will wait until he is.

He is not only rude, he is less than honest in his dealing with people. He moved the tank to in front of the gate to my backyard, so I couldn't even use it, and when I told him not to put gas in it because I wanted it moved, he took the tank away. He gave me a snotty little face and wave as he left. Then his wife called me and told me I had $900 on account with them. I told her he took the tank, but he brought it back and put it in the same place, so I told him to move it or not put gas in it. I never got my $900 worth of gas. At first when I called about it, they said, "No, it was only $300 (something)." But that changed to nothing by the next time I called. He is rude and dishonest.

I called Appolo, since I bought it from them, realizing it was under warranty for 5 years.I was told by the repairman that there was no coolant in the system and I would be charged to diagnose where the leak was. He informed me the pin hole was in the evaporator coil and would need to be replaced. I was told I had to pay for today's charge and would be notified with the total amount for repairs. My charge for the technician to come and diagnose the issue was around $500 (no repairs included).y I shared the price with some friends only to discover how ridiculous the price was.

It turns out a lot of pipes froze that night, because no one had any techs available. The best I could get from mist was a promise to have someone call me in the morning. Josh from Holmes, though, called me back immediately. He helped me stop the water that was flowing out of the burst valve, made sure I had some emergency heat, then scheduled me for first thing in the morning after he finished with his next client. He fixed the problem and even made some improvements to make my system a bit more resilient going forward. He was there all day, so I was expecting an astronomical bill since I had called in an emergency basis. I was pleasantly surprised to see the price was very reasonable. I had actually made that exact repair myself 5 years earlier (Josh said it was a quality issue with the valve and not my handiwork that lead to this failure, and I choose to believe him), so I know the going rate for the valves he used, and I know what the labor was like to install it. They charged a fair markup for the parts and a competitive hourly rate for the labor. And of course, Josh did the work a heck of a lot faster than I did back in 2021. I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of work. I'll definitely be calling Holmes the next time I need any HVAC work done.
