Best Businesses in Indianapolis, IN

What a revelation!  When our water heater died over the weekend, I called Steve Morin Plumbing expecting to leave a message and hope for a response on Monday.  Much to my surprise, Mr. Morin answered and agreed to replace the water heater the next day by rearranging his calendar.  Later that Sunday evening, I exchanged photos of the existing installation and we discussed the process for the next day.  Steve's son Jesse arrived on time and completed the work efficiently including a full clean-up.  In this day and age when reliable contractors are all but impossible to find, these guys are awesome and will be our plumbers going forward.  HIGHLY recommended!

Winter's Plumbing was such an interesting mix of great and not-so-great.  I've contacted them twice; they are routinely more quickly available than most other plumbers, which is great as plumbing is always urgent.  The first time, another plumber was available same day (unusual). The second time in need, Winters was available the following morning, which was excellent.  It even made me look past Winters' $239 price for clearing a bathroom sink clog: perhaps it was that high because the work would be on a Saturday.  And when I called back and mentioned that I had Covid but would stay out of circulation, it didn't phase Winters.  Amazing. They promised arrival 9 AM, called at 8 AM to tell us they'd be there promptly at 9:00, and they were. Superb.  Wore booties, checked everything out, and went to work. UNFORTUNATELY: they couldn't clear the clog.  (Yes, we have an old house but I don't believe we've ever had a plumber who couldn't clear the line.
Can't say they didn't try:  Vacuum hose: no. Small snake: no.  Large snake: oops, too large  Small Snake: machine locked up, started smoking. 1+ hour and a few calls to HQ, no success.  Leaving our front door open multiple times wasn't good (very active cats).  A request that I pay  1/2 now and  1/2 when they fixed it on Tuesday: I had to firmly pass.  An explanation of what they would do on Tuesday: didn't give me confidence.  Final outcome: I proposed paying their entire service charge (a much lower-than-market $39, nice) and letting them spend Tuesday on other customers: accepted.  Again, a real mix of very good and not very good, from very nice people.

I called Coopers after the contractor my home warranty company sent missed two appointments.  Mr Cooper (I'm guessing) arrived on time for the initial appointment and carried his briefcase like an OG salesman - I actually appreciate a simple old school approach!  I purchased the softener for about the same amount my warranty company had paid me for - and knowing warranty companies, they nickel and dime, so the price from Cooper's was great.  The guy came to install a few days later - I had to schedule a time when I could work from home, otherwise, they could have done it the next day - setup was quick and easy and the tech was polite and explained everything I needed to know!  Highly recommend!

hope plumbing was called to fix 2 outdoor faucets--connecting one to the main water line and one needed a thread adapter changed.  the estimate the work was 1400  dollars.  my social security  income could not cover the cost, so I just had Thomas connect the line to the one faucet.  Thomas  was very courteous and went right to work. I assume the work was completed well (I'm 72 yrs old and can't get into the crawl space very easily)  The faucet  works fine.   Was a little disappointed that he did not close the crawl space  panel and left the old pipe laying in the yard.

Called them at 730 and someone was at the house by 915. They diagnosed the problem and fixed our water heater! Very polite, knowledgeable, and FAST!

Always prompt, quotes reasonable, no surprises and no waiting. Adam has replaced 3 toilets, several faucets , and an outdoor water valve through the years.
Quality of work and materials are both excellent.

Excellent company to work with! We had 3 different companies come out to check our broken air conditioner and provide us with a quote on a new unit, and Chapman surpassed the other companies in every way. They were knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. I'd recommend them to anyone!

I have used Big Frog Plumbing for two jobs. They where fantastic! Quick and clean. Very affordable. They even told me I didn't need some things to save me money! I highly recommend using them for you next plumbing job!!

Mike's is fantastic! He's done a number of things at our place, from spa repairs to fixing some faucets and locks. He's a great communicator, timely, and charges a fair price. Highest recommendation.

Quick and nice but Super expensive. Charged $275 for a simple toilet re-seating.

Called them out to put a drain in for my clothes washer. The guy looks everything over then goes over the plan and gives me a price. He also notices my hose spigot could use changing, shows me why pointing out issues with it. Gives me a price of $294 for just the spigot and can be done later. So I agree to the drain install price and he comes back out a few days later but tells me he's not sure if it can be done! He calls his manager who comes out and tells him how to do it, which was the way he told me HE was going to do it. It gets done and works fine. I call them a month later and ask to get the spigot changed now and how much was that again I asked? $294. I said go for it. They send the exact same guy out that showed me the problem with the old one. He tells me it should be $394 because of how difficult it is to get to! He was the one that looked at it in the first place! Felt like he was trying to shake me down for $100 more. Nice guy good work but not exactly trust worthy. Probably wouldn't use them again.

Howald came highly recommended by people in my neighborhood. Some had used Howald for years and years. My experience with them mirrors my neighbors' for the most part; I like this place because they were fast to come to my home (they fixed my AC unit the same day).

I don't know what other places charge to do things, but I'm a little miffed to have to pay almost $100 for a diagnostic fee. This could just be my ignorance of the HVAC trade, but that is a lotta dough just to have someone look in your unit and go, Yep, the whatsit needs to be replaced. Anywho, I'm not complaining too much because now I'm a lot cooler and less grumpy now that I have air. Thanks, Howald!

To update, gave 5 stars b/4 & continue to feel same way. I've had yearly contract for years & continue to recommend highly. These folks NEVER let you down. Excellent service, knowledge & reliability!

After ARS tried to screw me with a $2000. Quote for unstoppable my kitchen drain...I called Maxwell Plumbing and got the job done quickly for only $475. WOW!
Maxwell Plumbing is now my go-to Plumbing company!

I came here and found these guys well reviewed. I've had low water pressure and poor hot water in my house so I called these guys.

Response was eerily fast, as someone showed up within the hour. When they arrived they immediately set to work.

They replaced piping and tubing leading into and out of my water heater. It had degraded over time. But when they were done they didn't actually fix my issue. My master bath shower, which they saw, was barely usable. It was mentioned We need to replace the cartridge in the shower faucet.

Do you know what a cartridge is? Did you know there was anything even behind your shower faucet? Because I didn't and I don't care to. That's why I called professionals. But they left on an emergency call and three days later everything is as it was.

They also said I need a new water heater, which is probably right. But there was no guidance on what to get, how to get it, or if they could install it. I was told if it's not fixed in three days give us a call. Well, it wasn't fixed when they left so one wonders how it'd magically fix itself.

But hot water water isn't so much my problem. I have decently hot water. But I don't get to use it because it barely comes out my shower head.

Three days later and we're still Googling and ordering parts, drills, wrenches, and other supplies so we can replace our own shower faucet cartridge. Something that should have already been done and something I don't care to do on account I'm not a plumber.

To add to it, they left two ridiculously large and obnoxiously yellow WEILHAMMER PLUMBING stickers on my water heater and furnace. They measure about 5 or 6 inches wide and 2 inches tall. I don't mind leaving a card, or a magnet, but these were stickers half a foot wide. My house is not a billboard. 10 minutes of scrubbing with Goo Gone, magic erasers, and a wall scraper it came off.

My goal was clear: If I can't take a decent shower this evening, then it's not fixed. $195 later, after 20 minutes of their time, it's not fixed.

I've never had a better experience than with John, Will, and the whole crew!!  They stayed late to finish a two day job on a Friday. So cool. We are the kings of hot water. Or better yet, the ladies in the house say we are the queens of hot water. Get the tankless and recirculating pump. You won't regret it.

We had our AC go out at O Dark thirty this summer. Action Air was the only company in the area that could come out that night. Gave us 5 star treatment. So when our furnace went out (it was old), they were the first company we called. They weren't the lowest quote and not the highest quote, but along with their customer service, I wouldn't pick another company.

I forgot one of the first rules of supply and demand. The one that says once you pay for something in advance... like a maintenance agreement... you become the LAST priority for service. Over a 6 week wait just to have routine maintenance. It is clear this company is preying on consumers who initiate these kinds of contracts. Keep control of the situation and don't sign these agreements. Make Summers compete for your business. With service agreements... you lose the ability to force them to compete.

Peterman snaked our main for less than the cost of a rental.  Prompt, courteous, and competent.  Would recommend.
