This is my go-to plumbing company. A couple of years ago my sump pump was alerting me that the…read morewater level was getting dangerously high and about to overflow into my basement. Panicked, I called every local plumber I could find and left messages with all of them. Next Gen was the only one to return my call quickly and came to my house right away and averted flooding in my basement. Since then, I've called them for any plumbing needs that have come up, and they've come to my home right away every time. I almost hate to give this review for fear that they will become too busy to come when I call. They are prompt and do great work and seem to be reasonable with their prices.

I can if you want me to..." in a tone that clearly said, I don't want to be bothered. After he said that a few more times, when it was obvious that, yes! I want it fixed, I just said, "I'll call someone else." I get that it's not fun to be on call or work on a weekend. I worked nearly every weekend for 28 years and spent many nights on call. But Dude...either do it or don't. Don't practically beg me to let you off the hook. This and a previous long episode of poor service has made me decide to permanently let Whitehead and Hancock off the hook.

They were here earlier than I would have expected. The service call solved all of my problems very quickly, and at a price that was expected. No complaints. The man who made the repairs said he guarantees all his work and would come back if I wasn't happy. I would use this company again.

This all started in April, 2025…read more I had a membership with Tom Drexler and when my HVAC quit working I contacted Tom Drexler and someone was at my door shortly (they do respond quickly). * 1st Visit from Tom Drexler: The HVAC fellow (don't remember his name) checked things out, discovered the breaker was flipped off, flipped it back on and the HVAC started cooling again. He explained that if the breaker trips again, then I would need to call Tom Drexler back and request an electrician come to the house. He leaves and everything is all good, right? House is cooling. Breaker trips again so I call and report it to Tom Drexler's office as instructed by the HVAC fellow. * 2nd Visit from Tom Drexler: Electrician comes to the house this time (very timely I might add), replaces the breaker in the panel, and I pay 287+. Air is back on again. Lo and behold the breaker trips AGAIN. For two weeks the breaker would flip on and off randomly. So, I report this once again to Tom Drexler's office. Soon the HVAC fellow (same one) calls and said, "Remember when I told you that if the breaker tripped again you would need to call an electrician? I said sure enough and he's been here, replaced the breaker but it has tripped again. * 3rd Visit from Tom Drexler: HVAC fellow comes back (responded quickly again). He spent time out at the unit, messing with this, messing with that. Apologized to me. Said he was sorry he missed the problem with the compressor the first time he came. He was very apologetic, and I was HIGHLY impressed with his humility and his ability to take responsibility. He went on to say he would see to it that I got a refund for the new Breaker since I did not need one. He explained after he completed his inspection, and I am paraphrasing, but "the compressor is going out. Said he'd turn off the compressor, then turn it back on, and every time he got different readings on the AMP draw on start-up. He was very kind and spent time explaining everything which I appreciated. He went on to say, and I am paraphrasing again, "The way the compressor is right now, it's going to limp along until one day, it's simply not going to come back on. You can replace the compressor but it's expensive to replace and given the age of your current HVAC you are gambling as to whether any of the other parts of the HVAC quit working so you could be nickel and dimed to death. Would you like for me to send someone over to give you some prices for a new HVAC?" I said sure. * 4th Visit from Tom Drexler: A salesman comes timely as well and proceeds to show me 3 different prices for a new HVAC. The prices were valued at 1/7th of the value of my entire home. So yeah, I needed to think about it. I asked him about the refund I was owed and he said, verbatim "we'll get that back to you." As a prudent money manager, I called two other companies and requested estimates. I also called Tom Drexler about a week after the salesman was here and asked about my refund as I had not received it. The person on the phone put me on hold, came back and said she spoke with the salesman and he said they would deduct the amount from the cost of the new HVAC. If I did not purchase a $23,000 HVAC from Tom Drexler, then they intended to keep the 287+. $23,000 is a very expensive ransom for 287.00 One of the fellows from another HVAC company that came to do the estimate was uncomfortable giving me an estimate on a new HVAC that was "tripping breakers every couple days". He politely asked if he could check out the HVAC himself. He found I had a bad Sump Pump Heater or in some circles it's called a "Crank Case Heater". My HVAC has been working flawlessly with no issues whatsoever since May 12, when he found the problem. The part cost 170.00. Here it is December, 2025 and my heat is working flawlessly and it did not cost me 23,000 + 287 (amt they failed to refund meI). Don't get me wrong, I used to be a big Tom Drexler Fan but I had to let them go. They do great on jobs YOU initiate, it's on the repair side, you get ripped off. Their repairmen lack the knowledge to properly diagnose problems and/or they have been coaxed to guide the consumer toward buying new equipment because it has become clear that SELLING new equipment vs. accurately diagnosing/fixing problems is a clear priority to this company. After much observation, I find this company preys on widows, the elderly, single women, and the young and naive. Bet if I was a fly on the wall at their sales meetings, I would hear these types are their targeted populations. Find someone else to help you with your home maintenance, Drexler will do nothing but rip you off.

Please use caution with Drexler. Surely seems like a plumber that knows how to hose customers.

Early Saturday morning I discovered water flooding the laundry room of my significant other's…read moretownhouse and realized the water heater was leaking. I turned off the water supply rendering the condo with no water. Now what? Who do I call in Lexington, a town I'm not that familiar with much. She called her sister in Versailles but her recommendation of a past plumber she had used previously was closed for the weekend. So I did a search on Yelp first, skipping over a couple of plumbers with some not so good reviews and found Bluegrass advertised as being 24/7 and Shonda C.'s review listed first. She is in my friends list and I trust her reviews. I also saw photo's of the business owner and his family, plus some of his past work, indicating to me I was looking at an honest man. But to be sure, I utilized BBB for a background check and found zero complaints in the past year, an A+ rating and that they were BBB Accredited. So I gave them a call. Ron answered the phone at 7:52 am on a Saturday. This was a huge indicator to me I was going to be doing business with a good company. He told me he had one customer ahead of me but that he would be over between 11:30-12:30 and that he would call thirty minutes ahead of time to let me know he was on his way. He called me back at 10:26 am and arrived in 15 minutes. He assessed the work to be done, quoted a price, then left to pick up a new water heater and associated parts & pieces and arrived back around an hour later. I doubled checked with my sister, who owns five houses, on his quoted price and found he came in little bit less than her prediction. Ron and his son, who was helping him, installed a new water heater, and upgraded the water pipes and gas line, along with new valves on both, to meet today's codes. He completed the work in two and a half hours. We were completely 100% satisfied with the work, his timeliness, consideration of cleanliness and knowledge of his trade. Would not hesitate to call him again for any plumbing needs.

Ron came out and cleared the pipe in no time, left no mess, and charged a fair price. He was super friendly, nice guy. Glad we could hire a locally owned small business that cares.
