If you're considering Mission Plumbing for a major plumbing project, my advice is simple: don't…read moreexpect communication, scheduling, or project management to be their strong suit. Our project involved replacing deteriorated cast iron drain piping beneath our kitchen and basement. The plumbing work appears to have been completed correctly, but getting there was one of the most frustrating contractor experiences we've had. The problems started on day one. I took a day off work because our project was scheduled to begin that morning. Instead, we were told the necessary equipment wasn't available, so the work had to be postponed. While disappointing, I understood that things happen and agreed to reschedule. Unfortunately, that set the tone for the rest of the project. Appointments were repeatedly delayed or rescheduled. Crews arrived hours after their scheduled arrival window without anyone calling to let us know. Several times we had to contact Mission ourselves just to find out if anyone was actually coming. We received different explanations from different people, and there never seemed to be clear communication between the office, management, and the field crews. The estimate created another major source of frustration. The original proposal left us with a different understanding of what work would actually be performed. Once excavation began, additional problems were discovered, and we completely understood that additional work and additional cost might be necessary. That wasn't our concern. Our concern was that the revised estimate was so vague that we still couldn't get a clear explanation of exactly what work we were paying for. When you're approving thousands of dollars in additional work, the scope should be clearly documented and easy to understand. Throughout the project, it felt like we were managing the job instead of the company. My husband and I found ourselves coordinating between the office, management, and the field crew just to understand the schedule, clarify the scope of work, and keep the project moving. That should never be the customer's responsibility. The repeated scheduling issues also caused significant disruption to our daily lives. We repeatedly adjusted our schedules and prepared our home for crews that either arrived hours late or didn't arrive when expected. The uncertainty made an already stressful plumbing project much more frustrating than it needed to be. To the company's credit, management eventually became involved, apologized for the experience, and made a significant adjustment to our final bill after determining that part of the originally proposed work was no longer necessary. We appreciated that because it was the right thing to do. I also want to point out that every employee who came to our home was courteous and respectful. My criticism is not directed at the technicians themselves. It is directed at the company's communication, scheduling, estimating process, and project management. No customer should have to repeatedly call to find out where the crew is, receive conflicting information from different employees, or involve multiple people just to get a project completed. The plumbing work appears to have been completed correctly, and the efforts made at the end of the project to resolve our concerns are the reason this is a three-star review instead of two. Mission Plumbing has good employees. The company simply needs better communication, better scheduling, clearer estimates, and better coordination. If those areas improve, I believe the overall customer experience would improve dramatically.

I say "nearly impossible" because I am about to report one of those rare instances.

My most sincere appreciation and thanks to Steve and Kelly!

I had…read moretried installing and it didn't want to power up with the normal wiring scheme, but would with the included power adapter that came with the thermostat. We had also called to have our A/C checked out as well and they told us that had to be 2 DIFFERENT technicians, EACH with a $150 service charge. Don't really understand how someone who is qualified to work on the electrical components of an A/C condensor is not qualified to connect a thermostat, but... The apparent "special" Technician for the thermostat arrived when I was not at home, but I spoke with him over the phone and described the issue where the thermostat would not power up with the standard 5-wire configuration, but would when using the 4-wire adapter. He looked into it and called me back a short time later that said that they Anthony PHCE charges $500 to install a smart thermostat. I just wanted it done so agreed. Once I arrived home I found out from my wife that they technician claimed the smart Thermostat was broken and that he couldn't install it and put the old thermostat back on. He said it shouldn't need the adapter and because it didn't work with the normal wiring it must be broken. Never mind that I told him exactly what he found over the phone before he began. Despite not completing the job we called them for, that didn't stop him from charging us the $500! Fast Forward a couple of months I decided to give it another shot myself and just to start from a clean slate I spend $15 to replace the wire from the furnace to the thermostat. AMAZING, that made it work. Turns out the "5th" wire must have been damaged so it wasn't getting power. Very sad that a special technician for performing this specific type of work didn't even know how to check for a broken wire. When I called them to request a refund for at least the Thermostat installation (I was fine with paying for the service call since they did come out), I explained the situation to 2 different people. They told me the Service Manager would review it and get back to me. Once I did receive the call, they told me that they would not refund any portion. I explained the whole situation again and the gentleman commented that is not what the people I had previously spoken too wrote down. They took it back to the Service Manager who again refused the refund on the basis that I did not let them come out again to fix it. Why in the world would I call back incompetent people who could not diagnose something as simple as a broken wire? Furthermore, I didn't know what the problem was myself until I fixed it, so there is nothing to call them back for. Based on Anthony PHCE's obsurdly high prices, duping people into paying multiple service calls and still charging people for work their "professionals" could not complete, I am amazed anyone uses their services.

Not dirt cheap, but having already gotten other free estimates nearly double his, I was very pleased to get both needs done in one visit at a price I could afford. They also did a very good cleanup, so I didn't have to.

Nothing worse than getting ready for bed, to find all the drains in the house are backing up. Time to call around... I first called one of the well-known plumbers you hear on the radio, and was surprised to learn there was a $99 +$265 emergency call out charge (a total of $364 before any repairs are even made!), and a 2-hour response tj. I came here to Yelp, and found Mike with Ace's Plumbing... most 5-Star reviews in the area. I called just before 9PM and Mike answered, said he'd be right over (though he was getting ready for bead as well when I called!). He was at my house within 15 minutes, diagnosed the issue within 5 minutes, and was soon running a snake down the main line! Was a total of 30 minutes and the job was done! So glad we searched Yelp and found Ace's! In the end, it cost us LESS THAN HALF of what the other guy wanted just to show up (not to mention a 2-hour response time). Thanks again Mike, you saved the day and saved us a ton of money!!!

The clogged drain was backing up in my basement about 3 feet diameter. It was a 15-20 foot line that ran toward the main line. The water went down the next day when Mike arrived. Mike said if he has to clean out the main line that would be 575, but he would clean out the small line for free. Mike put the camera down the small line which had a handful of small fingerlie type branches in there which shouldn't be. Mike said the pipe was bad and really needed to be replaced. He checked the mainline while I was upstairs turning on water for him. When i came back down stairs he said he already ran the camera down the main line and it was fine. I asked him to show me with his camera because I had just bought the house a few years ago and the house inspector showed me where there were a few branches at the end of the line that would need to be cleaned out eventually. Mike ran the camera again and there was sitting water at the end. He said he could clean out the lines but that would be 575+220 after he just told me he would do the small line for free. I then asked him for a rough estimate on replacing the small line. He got on the phone with his concrete buddy and was whispering in the corner on the phone. Comes back and gives me a quote of 9700.00. I ended up only having him clear out the small line and he ended up charging me 575.00. This guy does a bait and switch on his pricing, so I would get everything in writing on how much it costs before he does any work. I won't be using him again. He gets a 3 for his quick response and that's all. His pricing a 1. His integrity a 0.

I was convinced it was broken and called Bright Side once I had the flooding under control in the basement. I can't understate how impressed I was with them from the phone call to the plumber showing up later that afternoon. First of all the person on the phone was so kind, told me I was still under warranty, and assured me that they'd have someone out that day to take a look and fix it. The plumber arrived on time, listed to my whole sad story about the basement and the pump, and figured out the issue within a few minutes. He fixed the pump, assured me it should last a long time with the fix, took a look at our other pump, talked me through what had happened, sent me some estimates on things we could do to improve our set up, and was out the door within a reasonable amount of time. The things I loved was how low pressure it all was and how friendly he was. Other plumbers would have upsold me and likely made me feel pressure to purchase something else. I really appreciated that they came out day of, stood by their warranty with no questions, fixed it, and was honest about the situation, giving us options but no hard sell. This is the kind of service that will keep us as customers. It's always hard to know if a company is good after one visit, but this being our second, and on a call when something bad had happened I would not hesitate to recommend them to others. This appears to be a very good locally run business, and they'll have us as customers for the foreseeable future.
