Get matched with top water main install, replace or repairers in Regina, NM

"APH&C came originally to repair a leaking internal sewer pipe that had flooded a basement in an approximately 90-year-old downtown house. They were called out after hours, came promptly, and made arrangements to return next day. The water service had already been turned off at the street. Two men returned on time, fixed the leak, and began work on installing a replacement water heater. As is common with old houses, problems were soon encountered: the chase (vent) had been installed backward. They worked steadily on the job for several days. In the midst of this, the basement flooded again from a new leak; thereby, establishing the need for a full redo of the old interior sewer pipes (iron) and a modification to the exterior clean outs and connections. Despite APH&C's heavy existing workload, they continued on with this new work. Once again an old house problem turned up: the back bathroom had no vent. Fixing it required putting in two new clean outs/connections. In the process they also repaired a leaking hose bib installed in the back wall of the house. Despite the problems encountered, there was no change to the original estimates. Given the state of the sewer lines in front, they also checked (camera) the sewer line going to the back house and on to the alley. It's pipes proved to have several offset connections and some obstructions. That work will be done later. I was impressed by the willingness of the workers to answer questions and explain plumbing facts. The lead plumbers carefully instructed the apprentices on tips and problems. They treated both their fellow workers, myself, and the tenants with consideration. They took care to protect the interior surfaces of the house and to clean up after themselves. With a few exceptions, they were remarkably free of both a "smooth marketer" and bullying attitudes--more so than other large companies I've dealt with. They did all they could to keep the tenants comfortable. I was also impressed by their ability to fit this constantly expanding job into their existing workload and do it during the Xmas holiday season (the job ran from Dec. 10 to Dec. 26, 2019. They promptly supplied me with copies of all permits and maintained a good relationship with the city inspectors. Overall, at least ten men worked on the job, of whom JJ and MIck McG were especially outstanding--for their attitude toward the clients, their fellow workers, and their company. APH&C keeps in touch with its customers by phone and by e-mail. I did feel a little bombarded by the e-mails, wishing for instance, that they wouldn't mail me to say a technician was on the way even as I was called with the same message. I also was a bit confounded by the number of e-mails from the billing department. That problem was resolved by my requesting one e-mail listing all the final charges, which was cheerfully supplied. Yes, I got grouchy as the work multiplied, but they didn't, at least not with me. Their training system is good."

"Long story short our water heater was still working. Someone had left a trickle of hot water run all night and it drained the tank. Two hours later we found out that we had hot water and the repairman didn't change us for the visit."

"Adam was our A/C Tech. He preformed all of the tests and replaced the part in less than 45 minutes. The price was fair and the work is guaranteed for 1 year. 5 Stars! Strong built is on our call list now."

"Not so great. Although I had no obvious leak, my water meter was spinning like mad so I had the City turn it off on a Wednesday evening. On Thursday TLC said they'd come out with equipment to locate the leak. I waited all day and around 4pm someone came. Based on no house leaks, we assumed the problem was between the meter and the house in the back yard. After an hour and a half he had not located the leak but he thought he had the general area, just off the water meter. Turns out he didn't. At least I didn't get charged for this (at least I don't think I did - more about that). That Friday Manuel came in the morning to start digging. After a few hours he confirmed that the leak is nowhere near where TLC thought. This after I spent the evening before yanking out a big chunk of my winter jasmine to provide easier access for digging. Manuel found no break near the water meter and kept on digging. Finally he found that my galvanized iron water main had indeed rotted out. TLC couldn't get a crew on-site that afternoon which meant a weekend without water. I ended up asking for and paying for Manuel to put in a temporary water line so my water could be turned back on. That was about $525.00. The cost for the replacement line was to be another $3,800 and we discussed where the line would go. I was going to be out of town when they did the work, so I wanted to know what to expect. When I got home the following Tuesday evening, the work was done but the landscaping was a mess. It turns out that they used a completely different route for the trench, which involved tearing up a large section of my vegetation. The water turn off value was in a completely different location. I was not particularly happy but I did have water. Except, it turned out, in my drip irrigation system. I have a 2 zone system and 1 zone was working the other not. I called Manuel and told him the problem. After a day and a half and $570 more dollars, TLC replaced what they identified as a single bad solenoid. I think I paid $570 for them to drive around town to find the right kind. It's also possible that the charge for the sonar leak locator was wrapped into this cost. Then, I just realized today that TLC then managed to switch the two zones, which means I've been running the wrong water schedules for the last month. Advice: do not let them near your irrigation system."

"The job that was performed went exceptionally well. I didn't have a pick-up truck to retrieve the water heater from a local store, he went over to the store and picked it up for me. He removed the old one and installed the new one. He also cleaned up the water that leaked over when emptying the old one. I called Affordable Plumbing in the morning and he was right over with in the hour. He hooked up my water line for the evaporative cooler while he was here. The cost was much less than what I had anticipated, a whole lot less. I'm satisfied and thankful. He's upfront with cost and no hidden fees. I would definitely recommend Art Villalobos for plumbing  needs. I will use his services in the future.

"Contractor keep appointment (even though there were 2 or 3 calls expressing confusion about time and day); installed the drywall and cleaned the area.   The drywall installation was not smooth and when textured looked amateurish at best.  Before I could paint I had to sand several areas and apply canned texture-not the most professional look but time was a factor.  the next time the wall is painted will require extensive prep work to make it look professional.
Good things: appointment keep; work was done as explained; no extra charges.
Not so good: Technician was not a drywall guy.

"If there were six stars, this company would get it. The plumber came and replaced a part that another company told me could not be fixed. Daniel called before arriving, replaced the one part that was needed, cleaned up and helped with an unrelated problem. As a 70 year old female, I noticed his personal cleanliness and fine manners as well as his excellent service."

"Everything is working to perfection and we even received a phone call from the owner to asks us how his employees had done since we have had two groups over Within the past three weeks. We told him the shower was also working better than it has in the past 30 years and the swamp cooler had no leaks at all. But we did have one concern and it was about the estimate for replacement only being good for 3 days. He said you go ahead keep it they will honor it.

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."
