Nothing was obviously broken but it need a checkout and some duct work. Mission accomplished! Jeremy (one of the J's in J&J) was friendly, outgoing, on time (or called/texted with updated arrival times), and knowledgeable. His prices were competitive. An interesting tidbit of information about him is that he is a certified chimney sweep as well! Who knew that was a thing? I will definitely call J&J again should I need help with my furnace or AC.

Based on the existing 5-star reviews, I called J & J Heating to give me a quote for closing off a…read moreheating duct before my kitchen remodel, and for an opinion on my gas fireplace insert. Jeremy came out and cleaned my fireplace insert, so it now looks almost new. He told me what I could do to make it work better for me, and he also checked out my heating system, including inserting a new filter. Jeremy is one of the nicest service providers that I've ever had at my house! Given that I am in the process of collecting bids for my kitchen and bath remodel, Jeremy also provided me with the names of contractors whom he recommends and has worked with. He will be following up with a quote for the additional heating system and fireplace insert work. If you need anything done to do with HVAC or a gas fireplace insert, look no further and call J & J now!

The receptionist was very pleasant when I called to make an appointment; I had never had my ducts cleaned (sadly) and she quickly had Guillermo call me with a quote.

This company will make you bankrupt! I called them for a tune up of our AC unit in March and they…read moresent a technician who made the system work after changing numerous parts. The total bill was nearly $900. We did not use the system until June and discovered that it did not start. I suspected a failure of one of the numerous parts that were replaced and anticipated that the warranty for the parts would cover the service call. Their technician came in the morning and started to replace some of the same parts that were installed three months earlier. He also replaced a motherboard, contactor, coil (both were brand new), and took apart the unit covers and the thermostat. After four hours, the technician declared that he had to stop as he was to miss his lunch time. As he was leaving, he mentioned that the problem was a short in two wires ... and that the blower motor fried during his testing procedure. He never bothered to reinstall the covers or the thermostat. The bill for his "service" is $1,000. When the technician left, the AC was in worse shape than when he arrived, and Crocker expects me to pay to make my system inoperable. If you want to have Crocker come to destroy your system, bill you for unneeded parts in the hope that you will install a new system, then Crocker is who to call. Otherwise, save your money and call an HVAC business that is not a crook.

I called Lewis Plumbing for a drainage issue in my kitchen sink. When the Lewis Plumbing technician…read moreIsaac came in, the water was passing through, just slowly. The sink was still usable. When he left. after 3 hours, snaking kitchen line, and then, the tub and the shower line (which was fine to begin with), the kitchen line was blocked completely. I payed $900, and the problem was not resolved but worsened. I now cannot use the kitchen sink (and dishwasher) and have major repairement project on my laps. The Lewis plumber seemes to not know what he was doing. He forgot the equipment (large drain cleaner) in my shower, when I call them to take this out of my house he returned to get it, and after he left I had to srew in the drain opening myself. They charge $165 per hour, and he charged me for 4 hours work while he was only there for little over 3 hours. He lied on the invoice claiming the kitchen drain was blocked from the beginning. Shame on you, Lewis Plumbing. It's the most overpriced plumbing company in my area, and I came to them because my HOA recommended it. Now reading the reviews I see many people had bad experiences with them. I wish I researched them before choosing this company. An update: the company manager called and offered to send a technician at no cost to try to correct the issue. A senior technician came in and fixed the problem within an hour. He also brought back the check I gave them, and issued a new invoice, for $390, which seems very fair. The technician was super nice, and clearly very experienced. The bottom line: the company clearly stands up to its reputation, and makes ammends if anything goes wrong. Frankly, I did not expect this, and am more than happy with the resolution of the situation.

He quoted me the cost to replace but didn't include labor. When we asked for a fixed fee for the whole job he took a while then quoted me $1,000 over the first bid that was a fixed fee from a reputable plumbing contractor. Given this high price we are going with the first bid. He then charged me $330.00 for the labor which he didn't initially tell us about. Being an architect we refer subs often to clients. We will not be referring Lewis Plumbing. I understand if there is a labor cost, but should have been told that initially.

Do not make the same mistake I did and call Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance. They did a lousy installation--very slanted tank (which will likely hold more residue and shorten its useful life), a gas hose that stuck out so far that it prevented use of lower cabinets, they didn't replace the cap and left a mess from their work. Plus, they damaged one of my cabinets, so that it was unusable. I sent an email with images laying out the lousy job and damage, suggesting that they should have done a great job after damaging my cabinet, asking them to return to resolve the installation issues. Note that I did not ask them to repair the cabinet. The office manager asked that I call, and when I did, she proceeded to blame my painters for the cabinet damage--painters who helped remove the cabinet and get the new not water heater in place, PRIOR to pointing out the cabinet damage. She suggested that I was lying when I clarified that the painters had not done the damage. She informed me that my custom Columbia cabinets from Hayward were "cheap" and that I should have replaced them anyway, so she should not take any responsibility for their damage, even though I had not asked them to pay for the repair. She also said they never wanted my business in the first place (apparently, they don't like Rheem hot water heaters, which I had to use as my failed unit was still under warranty), so I should pay them immediately, upon them fixing their poor installation. Wow!!! A bully, poor integrity, a total lack of professionalism and a really lousy work ethic with the installer.
