It is difficult to find good service providers. Try doing it from 400 miles away when your elderly mother calls to complain about no hot water! I called Schwerman site unseen base don ratings from Home Advisor. Mike went to her home, and was able to relight the pilot light. And get this: NO CHARGE!! He also took the initiative to take a picture of the placard on the hot water tank so if there should be additional problems with the unit in the future, he can order parts without another visit. So even though I just wrote a mouthful, I am speechless at the level of good customer service.

The young man that came out was very proffessional and pleasant. He went out of his way to give me advice. He did not just want to take my money. I will be calling him in the future for all my plumbing needs.

We hired Schwerman Plumbing to rough-in some piping for a second sink and install a vanity. We ran into some complications with measurements from the cabinet manufacturer that required 3 extra trips from Schwerman. Bill was very flexible with the installation and followed up to make sure the project was complete. Overall it was a great experience.

It was a bit expensive for what it was, but they called me 10 minutes after I posted the project on Service Magic and came 15 minutes after our call, and got it solved in less than half an hour. The work was done very well.

Talked a good game initially, then became controlling and ran the project according to his schedule. His plumbers went to the store every day for extra parts because they stock nothing in their vans. My home was without water service for an additional day because he ordered a length of copper service line two feet too short to save a buck. Ended up delaying the project by a week, did not install a hot water recirculation pump which was in the written contract, then accused me of trying to sneak something in on him. I can live without this kind of attitude.
Response from Schwerman Plumbing Co.
"Unfortunately this customer ran his own project and even though we did our best he was not able to be pleased. The job went wrong when we were asked to hide additional work from the plumbing inspector. That is not how we do business, we run a honest shop. When we do a remodel like this we do our job and leave, we don't expect to be called back every day for a 1/2 hr extra or change order. I'm sorry this customer wasn't happy but the rest of our ratings speak for themselves."
