He isn't super talkative or a glossy sales guy, he just gets it done. He explained that based on our old cast iron pipes there really is nothing else to do but run a cutter through them every one or two years and me running a tiny snake through is why I kept getting clogs, you need to run the big ol' cutter that is the diameter of the pipe.

I own apartments and when I discovered Valley Construction all of a sudden I noticed that I didn't need to keep calling the plumber back every few months. He has the equipment and expertise to solve issues that other plumbers just pretend to fix. He has to be "efficient" with phone time because he is so busy, but he's an honest, professional plumber who won't smile and coddle you while he's ripping you off. Forget the bedside manner - call a pro if you want results.

This is the worst experience with an electrician I have ever had! Emailed in March, asking if they…read morewould repair outdoor lighting at a rental, requesting they send me an estimate and contact the tenant before going. They did neither, but I received a bill for $450 and thought the work was done, so I paid it. Then I learned that the bill was just for assessment! Contacted them again, asking again for the work to be finished. They dropped by again (no notice) and looked around. Contacted them a third time, no response again. I have called, also with no response, and here it is July. This is the most unprofessional experience I have ever had with an electrician or any trade. Unreliable, DO NOT HIRE!

They assessed our particular situations and provided many useful suggestions, creative ideas, and tips. The work site was kept clean. The cost was kept within our budget, and everything is itemized so we are well informed. I had other professionals working on the house for a few projects and they have been given good feedback too. The whole process I'd describe as professional, reliable, painless, efficient, open communication and on time! I'd highly recommend them to friends and family.

He always does a first-rate job and is very efficient and professional.

I found Gould Electric on Yelp and thought, "Great, a local electrician."…read more I called Gould Electric to repair the wiring and dimmer on a chandelier that had fallen off its hook; the wire was ripped and the dimmer shorted. Adam, the son, fixed the wiring and installed a dimmer in about 10 minutes. The problem was he did not finish the job: he did not straighten out the chain and wire, and he installed a dimmer different from what I expected. On top of that he marked up his cost by 100% over retail, failed to give me an itemized invoice, and inserted "miscellaneous" as a charge. (When I asked him later what "miscellaneous" referred to, he couldn't tell me.) When I asked him to change out the dimmer to the style I originally had, he stated the local Ace Hardware did not carry the same dimmer. Then, he said he would charge for another service call and for another dimmer. When I asked him to take back the one he installed, he told me he couldn't because it was already faulty: he said it was overloaded and could not be returned. Why did he install it in the first place if it would be overloaded and dangerous?! This is his job, his integrity. I called him for his supposed expertise. He said I was "nitpicking" when I told him he did a poor job and left wires hanging. He's just a novice, and he obviously doesn't know how to, or care, to provide meaningful customer service. I called Bob, Adam's father, and complained; and he said he would make things right. "It's a family business after all: two generations!" He did nothing. Their family business claim means nothing at all. I talked to a neighbor afterwards who knows Bob Gould personally, and he told me, "They're nice people, but I would never trust them as electricians." Now, I have to fix what I paid Adam Gould to do. Hopefully, you'll avoid my mistake of calling Gould Electric. My neighbor suggested two other electricians in the area who are far superior. I wish I had asked him first. The one thing positive is, I can say that Gould was quick to do a shoddy job. I called at 930am and Adam Gould got the job done shoddily by 130pm. Now, I have to undo what he did.

Fortunately he handled it all seamlessly. He kept in touch with us and in about a week, he was back with the new part.

Definitely go to Jeff - he will work with you if there is a learning curve on a new technology, instills a sense of confidence that he knows what to do or where to go for the answers and showed up as planned. Professional and kind! We feel very fortunate to be able to call on him and recommend him wholeheartedly!
