"Well pump shut down w/ reading of "No contact." Called Saturday night @ 9:00 PM. Owner responded (while in hot tub on vacation!) Technician arrived Sunday morning w/ 8-yr. old helper (son). 1 1/2 hours later shorted wires fixed, pump working fine. Premium labor time/charge but worth it. No problems since."

"Shawn did very well. He fixed a moen shower faucet without having to replace it. He was reasonably priced which made the repair an even better value Most plumbers charge a lot more. We appreciate his work and would use him again."

"Valpo Services provided a great service from start to finish. Our house was built in 1925 and did not have air duct only window air conditioning units.
After we made the necessary research and requested several quotes, we decided
to use Valpo Services for the installation of a Central Air Unit. Walter came
to our home and provided us with several different options for a Central Air
Unit that would fit our home and needs. For the first time we did not feel pressured
to buy a specific Unit. At the end of the day Walter provided us with a really
competitive quote and showed us a timeline for the installation. Our questions
were always answered on a timely manner. Walter, Hector, Alex and the rest of
the team were always on time, worked hard to make sure the unit was installed on
time and always made sure we were satisfied with the work. We are very pleased with the quality of work,
service and professionalism the company provided us with. We will highly
recommend Valpo Services to colleagues and friends and we will certainly continue
to use their services.

"Summary: Great service. Felt really confident in the knowledge and skills of the plumber. Work was quick and well done. Yet...paid out the nose, what seems in retrospect like a crazy high price that we're still trying to understand. Details; We moved into a house with a weird basement toilet-- an above-ground macerator (grinder) in a closet next to a Saniflo toilet, instead of a pipe to the sewer line. The grinder stopped working while renters were staying here, and we needed it fixed ASAP. Non-functioning toilet = non-functioning rental! Jiffy was super responsive on a Saturday morning. They're available 24/7 we're told! We got someone on the phone right away, which was not the case with other places we called. They had a guy out to the house in less than 3 hours to do an estimate. The plumber, Scott, had 8+ years of experience and suggested several options. My partner suggested a less-labor-intensive (and less expensive) option -- running pipe above ground to the sewer line instead of jackhammering into the concrete slab to lay pipe -- and Scott was happy to roll with that and make sure it would work well for us. He also assured us he could get it done same-day, which was great. No pressure. He quoted us $2k, flat fee. He left and we researched our options. In the meantime, the macerator spontaneously started working and cleared the clog, which meant it would not require anyone to pump out the toilet bowl or the pipe, which we expected would save him considerable labor and mess. We called the main number and asked about any change to the price and were politely rebuffed. A $2K quote was a $2k quote. We couldn't get anyone else to come give us an estimate in a timely manner and Jiffy has great reviews here, so we called Jiffy back and said we'd like to work with them. Scott came within an hour or two, after finishing a plumbing job at Lowe's. (We felt re-assured that even Lowe's trusts Jiffy with their plumbing!). Scott came in, removed the macerator, cut the metal sewer pipe, and connected the toilet to the sewer line with some PVC pipe and joints. He tested it with us, explained his work, and disposed of the used materials for us. All appreciated. In total, he was in and out in less than 4 hours. It was a great experience work-wise, and we don't mind at all to pay more for a very skilled, high-quality job that avoids sewage in our basement!! Still....we can't for the life of us figure out how that adds up to $2K, and felt a bit like we were easy marks as first-time home owners who clearly needed the service day-of. We didn't realize when he said he could "get it done today" that he meant it would only take 3-4 hours. That's $500/hr. Even if we doubled it to 8 hours of labor if we round up generously on the commute and time to buy materials, that's $250/hour. We're told $175/hr is standard, or up to $210 on the very high end. We also know from other DIY projects that the materials (PVC and joints) were inexpensive. I don't know if we paid for special expertise, or "emergency rates" or what. Again, we don't mind at all paying for quality, but we're stumped. Live and learn, but next time we'll be sure to ask how many hours it will probably take, and start our negotiations about price from there. Note: If anyone has information about pricing methods that would make sense out of this for us, we'd be open to that too, and I'd change the review to Yes, Would Hire Again. We'd want to hire again, for all the reasons above, but would hesitate because I don't feel great about a pricing strategy of "see what the customer will be willing to pay unwittingly, and go with that." :P p.s. Given the price, the 11% Angie's List membership discount was much appreciated!"

"The installation of these items went very well. Kelly was punctual and very efficient. A malfunctioning toilet in a powder room needed to be removed, and a different toilet installed. Also, a new toilet had to be installed in the master bedroom and a new faucet needed to be installed in the kitchen. He was cordial and very willing to explain the approach he was taking with the work. This increased my comfort level a great deal. I consulted with him on the ordering of the toilets and faucet from a design showroom and he passed along the plumber's discount that he received to me. The installation of the faucet also went well. The space that he needed to work in was very tight and the faucet was not easy to install, due to the placement of the faucet hole and its proximity to the kitchen windowsill. However, he was able to complete the installation without any issues. What I really appreciated is that he is very meticulous, takes a great deal of pride in his workmanship, and is very careful to make sure that the work is done correctly. He also cleans away any debris from any areas that he works on. He is respectful of a person's home, which I appreciate. The quality of the work was terrific. He also offered advice on work that I might need to undertake in the future, which I appreciated. I would definitely hire him again (and I have)."

"I needed what I thought was a "simple" float valve replacement to silence a running toilet. (In lieu of a new toilet.) The 4-point toilet tune-up announced December 2011 was perfectly timed. Finally made the appointment in late March and even had a replacement float in hand ahead of time.
Unfortunately, the pipes were so old that the water shutoff didn't even work properly.
The plumber (Al, I think) explained where the difficulty lay, toilet types, toilet bases (i.e., impact on the existing tile). He even answered my questions about buying a toilet myself (contracting the installation alone) and applying my special deal to the larger job.
He was prompt, tidy, and courteous (despite a brief misunderstanding about the entry to my building--my error).
I am saving up for the new toilet that I plan to have JH Peterson install. Definitely recommending them to my friends.
(Long delay in posting this in NO way reflects the service they provided or my appreciation for their work.)
