"After trying several home remedies towards the end of a week we decided to secure professional help on a Saturday. Charlie returned our call within minutes and arranged to come towards the end of the day on Saturday. He explained what he was doing, was efficient, discovered and replaced an unrelated rusted pipe and cleaned up the inevitable unrestrained water from nearby surfaces."

"For $190, he added a new spout that enabled the shower/spout water transfer but it's still leaking. He said it would be around $500 to replace the faucet itself. Tub still drips. They were quick to schedule the appointment, got in the same day."

"on time, and knowledgeable the technician did the job well. Also, I had a problem changing the furnace filter. The filter was getting stuck when taking it out or installing. He repaired that too."

"We had a blockage in our main sewer pipe under the basement floor. It turns out we had an old flood control gate that had collapsed. It was about 80% closed, so water was not able to get out of the house appropriately. I called several companies and not only was Robert's price reasonable, he was the most knowledgable and willing to talk through the issue and the solution. Robert, Phillip, and his crew were able to break up the concrete floor and replace the pipe despite the fact that it was encased in several feet of concrete and was located right near our fireplace. It was a bigger job than we anticipated due to the original pipe being encased in much more concrete than is typically used, but they were able to take care of everything without destroying the walls or fireplace. The new pipe was put in, and the hole was patched with cement. I can't say enough good things about the planning and work that Robert and his crew did. They were skilled and professional and a pleasure to do business with. Despite the large hole in the floor, the clean up was impressive. Half way through the process when we saw just how big and difficult the job was, I felt confident that we chose the right company. This problem could have been a lot worse, and I am glad we trusted Lincoln Sewer and Drainage to take care of it. They also noticed that our catch basin needed minor cement repair, and took care of that while they were here. I highly recommend Lincoln Sewer and Drainage, and I won't hesitate to use them again in the future."

"I can no longer recommend John.  
He helped us in 2009 when we bought a condo from the first owner.  He fixed some leaking facets and installed some water filtration units.  We were very satisfied with his work and promptness at the time.  We felt the yelp 5 stars he had at the time were justified.
The trouble started when it was time for him to come and replenish the filtration compound on one of the units he had installed.  We spent a couple of weeks trying to fix an appointment.  He simply forgot about one of the appointments and rescheduled us twice (once for a family emergency.)  When we finally got him to come, he apologize and said that he was not going to charge us for the refill and that he would be back soon with our canister.  He left a temporary replacement.  John also noticed that our kitchen sink was falling down because the developer had not mounted it to the granite without enough supports and offered to re-install it correctly for a reasonable cost.  We accepted the offer, so when we returned with the filter canister, we had him to the re-install (which took several phone calls and text to arrange.  
John failed to mention that he was going to use PVC pipe to prop up the sagging sink instead fixing it to the granite with more metal supports.  John did a bad job of putting in the silicone barrier between the granite and sink, so water splashes started to leak into the cabinet below the sink.  The worst part of this is that the biggest silicone hole was directly on top of the PVC at the front of the cabinet, so the water was leaking down the middle of the pipe invisibly and causing damage to the wood bottom.  When I contact John about this issue, he said in a text back that he would have to see it for himself and that is the last correspondence we have had from.  Tired of wasting our time trying to get his attention and fix appointments we spent this morning removing all of his moldy, dirty, half complete silicone and are redoing the job correctly ourselves.  
My personal opinion is that he is too busy and can't manage his thriving business (he has more than one work crew) while doing the work himself.  He tries to rely on text messages, but often forgets to update his schedule or contact book, so asks for the same message again and again... and still manages to miss appointments.

"Joe impressed me from the start by returning my call from his vacation to set up time to come give estimate when he returned. He was not only on time, but early on the day of estimate. The estimate was a range of cost based on the fact we didn't know what damage we would find in terms of whether the mold spread behind tub surround. Thankfully when the wall was open we could see it hadn't spread so it was at the low end of the estimate even with us adding an extra job on there that I forgot to inquire about. The work was done in two stages. Joe and his plumber came out the first day to do all plumbing related work. They switched out all the bathroom trim from builders grade that came with house to a nice satin nickle that we provided. It looks great. The shut off valves under sink were locked up from age/corrosion so they needed replaced so the sink was a little more involved than initially thought. The reverse osmosis we provided to replace our old one was quite different and the fittings and lines were different so it was a little tricky but they got it up and running for a fraction of previous quotes we had gotten from other plumbers. The drywall repair was done by his drywall guy the next day. Did a good job repairing the bathroom in a tricky spot that left little room for working. The drywall repair plan for my son's room was to cut out the wall my husband destroyed trying to hang a floating desk, put a cross support in and then put up the new drywall. Once the wall was open and we could see what was behind it, it proved to be more labor intensive to put in the cross support because of the odd things running through the wall and made the desk trickier to hang. But it's up and secure which puts us mikes ahead of where we were. My only real complaint was having to scrub some drywall mud out of the carpet that spattered outside of where the dropcloth was but it's not a big deal. All in all I'm happy and will gladly hire Carlson Contracting again and have already inquired on a quote for a different job. The Angie's list coupon was a bonus and helped us save money."
