Get matched with top gas piping pros in Pittston, PA

"I had an emergency with a leaking pipe that was turned off for many days. When I called Candan he came the same day. He was curtisous and did the job with professionalism. I definitely would recommend him to anyone that needs a job done. He has knowledge with various jobs that comes in handy."

"Everything went very well. He's very busy but committed his time and completed the job in two days. Kevin is exceptionally neat and very professional. I highly recommend him."

"The radiators and several pipes in my home burst during the "Polar Vortex" in January 2014.  I had three contractors come to give estimates, and although W.F. Naugle and Sons' estimate was more than the other contractor (the third never got back to me), I told the insurance company that I wanted to work with them because Rich Naugle was the only contractor who calculated the BTUs needed for the radiators for each room, taking into consideration the location of the room, door opening sizes, and the square footage of all windows, and the direction each window was facing. I had done some research ahead of time and knew that this was necessary to get the correct size radiator. One can't just measure the depth, height, and width of an old radiator to get the correct size. The new radiators are much smaller, but put out the same BTUs.)   <br />      The insurance company balked at the price difference, but let me use Naugle after their adjuster walked through the house with Rich (the owner), who explained everything that had to be done, including why they couldn't use parts from (old) radiators to fix the radiators or just weld the broken pieces back on. <br />      I'm so glad the insurance company let me use Naugle. I wasn't living in the house at the time, just using it on weekends, with the intention of moving in when I retired in mid-2014.  So I had to trust the contractors to do what they needed to do without me watching over them all the time.  Naugle didn't disappoint -- they were very professional and it was obvious when I'd come up for a weekend that good progress was being made. The workmen were always, always, always polite, professional, and personable, and it was obvious they knew what they were doing and did it well. They also treated my house with respect and were very patient when answering my questions. I really cannot say enough good things about them. <br />      By the way, this really is a family-owned business - Rich is the son of the founder, and his son is one of the plumbers who worked on my house.These guys are really old-school when it comes to work ethics and knowing what they're doing. <br />      For more specifics, read on... <br />      The kitchen radiator that burst was a different type of radiator - it fit into a recess in the wall, but no one makes that type any more (it was impossible to clean behind it, as it was literally framed into the wall, so I'm glad they stopped making them!). But I didn't want the new radiator sticking out into the kitchen (it would have made it impossible to open a lower cabinet), so Rich called in the rep from the radiator manufacturer to consult on the best way to address the problem.  The radiator they ended up putting in that spot fits just perfectly into the space left by the old radiator.  <br />      Unfortunately, as they removed sections of the walls to get to the broken pipes, they found that the stack (main sewage pipe for the house) had cracked, and  -- and I really appreciate this -- they told the insurance adjuster that they felt that it was age, not freezing, that had cracked the stack (the house is 80+ years old). I think this is a great example of the ethical nature of this company. <br />      The stack (cast iron,about 6" in diameter, running from the second floor all the way to the basement) must have been incredibly difficult to remove, but they did it without making huge holes in the walls or damaging anything when they took it out. And speaking of holes, they were very careful not to make the holes in the walls any bigger than absolutely necessary, even tho' it made it more difficult for them to remove the busted pipes and risers.   <br />      And when they removed the old radiators, they didn't scratch the floors or ding the walls, even while bringing three of them down from the second floor. And trust me, these things are incredibly heavy and awkward. Notably, the other contractor who gave me an estimate said they would be as careful as possible when they removed the radiators, but said "it's inevitable that the floors will be scratched and dinged" and they wouldn't take responsibility for fixing them.  Mmmmm.  <br />      I was so pleased with (and frankly, amazed by) the work they did, I have recommended W.F. Naugle and Sons to my neighbors and friends, and even if the price is a bit higher than other contractors out there, if you want the job done right, it's definitely worth it to hire them. <br />"

"Took the employees a little while to locate exact location of leak in garage and repair.  Hacked at two portions of our drywall to get to pipe in living room.  But repaired problem and haven't had any problems since.  <br /> <br />"

"APS' proposal was competitively priced relative to the complex nature of the project. This was my first oil tank removal and remediation job, so I needed a contractor with solid experience in the field. Sal and Maria were always professional, knowledgeable, patient, and extremely responsive. No call or email from me went without a prompt reply. Little did I know that I would need their help, beyond completion of the work, to navigate the confusing process of getting appropriate documents and approvals from the NJ DEP. I was under a hard timeline to close the sale of my property. Without Sal and Maria's help, I would have been behind the proverbial 8 ball. Their guidance was invaluable. I recommend them without reservation."

"Ed of UGI was prompt, professional, proficient, polite, and friendly. He diagnosed the problem, and replaced the defective meter quickly. Soon it was warm and comfy again in our home."

"The roofing repair went well, and then I asked Mr. Evans to come to another city where I owned another home that we were remodeling and needed to sell soon. We needed some electrical ,and plumbing work done . I asked if he was licensed to do that. He replied that " he was". I inquired about city permits, and was told that "I did NOT need any- as this was a minor repair, not a complete rewiring job". Having dealt with the city before, I KNEW that was not right, as permits ARE required for ALL work done by contractors in the city. I then asked him if he was registered with our state. He replied that he was. I checked online, and found nothing under the company name of American Contracting. I DID find his name under another company name- J.E. Improvements. However, this registration did NOT list electrical, or plumbing. When I told him what I had learned- he said that he would simply call the state and ask them to add the two categories to his listing ! I was amazed that they would do such a thing over the phone, and called them myself. I was told that "anyone who is registered can call and add anything without submitting any proof of additional licenses". They told me I needed to check with my local city for licensing. I called the Scranton office of licensing and permits, and was told that " Mr. Evans is NOT licensed as either a plumber or electrican in Scranton". He had also told me that he installs and maintains furnaces and heating systems. He is not licensed to do that either in Scranton. He CAN do roofing and siding as that only requires a contractor to pull a permit, and he can get one since he is already registered with the state of PA. There were a couple other things that bothered me. First, he kept saying that he "preferred to be left alone when he worked" and that "we could just leave a key to the house and did not need to be there while the work was being done". Also, I had asked for estimates on painting and a new roof and possibly siding and was told that he "did not write estimates until the customer agreed verbally to a price, because it was a waste of time because some people didn't call him back". Upon checking, I found that he registered his company name as J.E. Improvements with the state on 7/23/2009, yet he did a job for someone on Angie's list in SEPT. 2009 under the name American Contracting. Under Pa. law , doing jobs under two or more company names MUST be reported to the state. I asked the state if they had any listing for American Contracting- they said "NO". Bottom line is this : Mr. Evans is a nice man, did a good job on our roof repair, but if you want him to work in Scranton, be aware that he is NOT licensed for electrical, plumbing or heating, and can NOT pull permits for that work. He CAN do roofing, siding and painting as I am told. permits can be obtained for those jobs as long as he can show his PA registration card and current insurance of $50,000 or more."
