"I hired Long Roofing Products to replace my roof. From the beginning the sales man lied to me, telling me that they could take off my Gutter Helmets and put them back on correctly. This was lie #1. They have null and voided the warranty of my gutter helmets, because they were not supposed to touch them and according to Gutter Helmets all the roofers know this. lie #2 there were missing pieces on the ends of my gutter helmets to prevent the birds from getting into the gutters. The salesman told me they would order the piece from Gutter Helmets and replace it. This was never done. I have contacted them several times and they continue to tell me they will fix it and they never do. I would NEVER recommend them, I would only tell you NOT to use them. They talk a big game but never follow thru with their promise's."

"We hired Mike's crew to do a fairly good sized bit of work on our house that began in Dec of 2017 and was completed in May of 2018. -- SCOPE OF JOB -- - Building out an entirely new Full bathroom (with a large walk-in shower) - removing 3 dilapidated balconies, walling over (1) that was internal wall only (yes, it was a balcony INSIDE the house), walling over (1) that was an external wall, and replacing (1) with a large, new pair of double-hung windows - a complete and total renovation of the kitchen, installing all new cabinets and countertops, all new plumbing and electrical, all new tile floor and tile backsplash, new over-range hood vent, and new lighting, etc. - part of the kitchen reno included opening up a load-bearing wall to expand footprint of kitchen a bit, which, naturally, involved working with a structural engineer and dealing with requisite permitting - full demo and removal of an awkwardly installed fireplace and flue (not original to the house), which required patching of the roof above and the wood floor below - running plumbing and electrical necessary to place washer/dryer in the Den - nearly full renovation of 2 full and 1 half bathrooms: the 2 full bathtubs were left, but all had new vanity, sink, floor tiling, toilet, lighting - correcting water damage due to badly installed plumbing and exterior walls by previous owners - patching and completely reshingling part of the roof - putting up new cedar shingling along front and back of house where balconies were removed - fixing/patching damaged parque flooring by using extra "squares" picked up from area to be used for new bathroom - running new electrical circuits, as-needed - dealing with buliding, electrical, and plumbing permits and inspections with the town - a bunch of interior painting: all the bathrooms, all ceilings in the entire house, and a few of the larger rooms - installing 2 new ceiling fans, including one from a 16' ceiling - and probably a few other things I've missed. This was not a small job. -- QUALITY OF WORK -- Let's start with the end. The final product was GOOD QUALITY WORK. There's not a person who's walked into the house who hasn't said, "Wow, they did a great job!" -- and they did. The entire time I felt like they cared about how everything came out as if it was their own house. -- COST -- They charged a fair price. I never felt like they were nickel-and-dime-ing me. I'm sure you could probably find someone to do it a little cheaper, but they provide a really good bang for your buck. - THE INTANGIBLES - I live 250 miles away from the house, which presented a whole host of challenges on this project. I can't imagine having done this with anyone other than Mike's crew. For example, when crap hit the fan after a storm, they were on-site and taking care of things before I even had a chance to really freak out about it. They helped me with receiving items being shipped to the house -- appliances, materials, etc ... and not just taking the thing inside, but actually inspecting the item in question to make sure it wasn't damaged. More than once they caught a damaged item and saved my skin. It was like having someone I trusted on-site all the time. And you can't put a price tag on that. -- WHAT THEY ARE NOT -- They are not designers, so come with plans for what you want to do. I also get the sense that this project was on the larger end of projects that they deal with and, as such, I had to keep on top of the project, the progress, and the incoming invoices. I'm sure if you're just doing a bathroom or just a kitchen reno, or just putting in a new set of windows ... then this doesn't even pop up as an issue. -- AT THE END OF THE DAY -- I would use them again. In fact, I'll probably be reaching out to them soon for a quote on some roofing work ... because it's never done."

MP has a large in-house team of experts that work efficiently and adapt to the home owner’s needs and preferences. The employees worked 6 days a week and took great pride in their work.

The onsite foreman, Adriano, demonstrated expertise and kindness. Seichelle and Marco did an excellent job with operations, ordering materials and problem-solving. We have been back in our home for 10 months. Anytime I have an issue, Seichelle and the team have addressed it. They have gone above and beyond what is expected. We could not be more pleased with our project. We strongly recommend MP for your next project!"

"Our heater stopped functioning on Nov 27, 2023 and we called Petro who had done the maintenance on it before and replaced a motor two years ago. They were responsive and a technician came two days later. He worked for 3 hours without explaining what the problem was. Then said he needed to replace the motor. He fixed the problem and left without much explanation. Two days later a bill of $2500 came via email. No explanation, no break-down. I called 4 times over the last 20 days, spoke to 4 different reps and was promised that a supervisor will contact me with the bill details. Nothing happened. Irresponsible customer service and unprofessional behavior. They show all the symptoms of big, bureaucratic, and indifferent service company. I would not recommend Petro if you have options of more personalized services."

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Nantucket, MA

Snaking a simple clog near a tub, toilet, or sink often takes about five minutes. Deeper blockages along the main line can stretch the job to a few hours because the pro must feed extra cable and may need a camera to confirm the pipe is clear. Either way, specialized tools help pros work quickly and keep your drains running for the long haul.

Aggressive snaking can scratch pipes, push debris deeper, or even crack older lines. That risk is low with an experienced plumber who matches the cable size to the pipe and eases the snake through bends instead of forcing it. If you’re unsure of your technique—or your pipes are already fragile—calling a licensed pro is the safest, and often cheapest, move.

Start with simple barriers: mesh screens on every tub, shower, and sink keep hair, food bits, and jewelry out of the pipes. Skip harsh chemicals; a monthly flush with hot (not boiling) water clears light buildup without damaging plastic lines. Finally, practice smart disposal—no grease, wipes, or kitty litter down the drain—and schedule routine cleanings if you have older plumbing.

Roto‑Rooter typically charges a flat $160 to $450 for standard snaking, which may include a quick sewer inspection and basic clean‑out. Exact pricing depends on the clog’s location and complexity. Repairs or part replacements fall outside that flat fee, so ask for a line‑item estimate if your tech spots broken pipe sections or recommends additional work.

Most liquid cleaners rely on caustic chemicals that eat through hair and grime—but they also erode metal and even some plastics over time. Repeated use strips protective pipe coatings and can leave you with leaks or premature failures. If hot water or a plunger doesn’t help, call a plumber for mechanical removal instead of pouring more chemicals down the line.
