Best Businesses in Indianapolis, IN

I called this company after having assurance plumbing out and they didn't know what they were doing.  Ryan and Gage responded quickly and reassured me that they would come out and give a price and get the work done immediately to get hot water back in my house.  They came gave a good price l, when and picked up the tankless hot water heater and installed the next day.  They were not pushy on what to do and made recommendations to get a water softener but again not pushy.  They will be coming out to install my water softener here in the next week.

My bathtub stopper has been not fully keeping water in the bathtub for quite some time. Mac's plumbing responded within 12 hours and had the issue fixed within 48 hours. Incredibly responsive and very fair with pricing.

Called Blake after I noticed my slide room got wet during a rainstorm.  Was in a panic because we are full time, and my husband was out of town working.  Blake got Brittany out right away the same day.  She was very courteous and pleasant.  Blake followed up to make sure I was happy with the repairs.  Very honest people, highly recommend.

Quentin did a hot water replacement in a rental I own, and replaced a couple toilets. The floor under one was rotten from leaks and he did a good job of repair, re-floor (vinyl sheet flooring) and replacing toilets.  All done quickly and coordinated from out of state.  Highly recommend.

King's employees were professional and addressed my concerns and questions.  I've used them before for a bathroom issue and water heater installation.  These guys are fair and know what they are doing.  Quite satisfied with the work they have done for me.

Called for Mark Plecker, at the advice of a friend, at 9:30 am on Monday morning to address an emergency (self induced) bathroom shower leak (Folks, be careful trying to change your leaking shower cartridges if you have calcium build up - you may just damage your copper pipes, as we did).  Monday AM our water had been off for 12 hours, and I was desperate.  I had called a 24/7 plumbing company late Sunday night, which gave me an estimate of $1700!   Mr. Plecker rearranged his schedule Monday and was at our home promptly for our 1pm appt.  He had estimated between 1.5 to 3 hours of labor and was done, woohoo!, in 1.5 hours (which included his drive time).  At the end of the job he took time to discuss next steps and gave great advice on other plumbing concerns we have.  I could not recommend him more, especially give the unscrupulous competition he has and his amazingly fair price, which was about 90% less than $1700.  I guess when you are honest, your name is over the door, and you do a GREAT job, you don't have to advertise everywhere like the other plumbing companies...  Thanks Mark!

Probably one of the most disappointing contractor services I have ever experienced. In theory, this idea is actually quite novel. Unfortunately Indiana residential has not mastered the process, the execution, or the customer service.  So, this is how it works. Most of the time Indy residential is contracted out by realtors who have work that needs to be done prior to closing on a home for their buyers. Indy residential comes out, gives them a quote and completes the work before closing. They also do contract work based on your needs if you call them and they will come out and give you a quote for the work. I've had a chance to experience both. First,my realtor told me how great the service was, so we contracted them to do some work before the closing on my new home. About 80% of the work was done correctly, the other 20% was either left undone, even though I paid for it, or done incorrectly.   Fast forward to this year, and only a few months later, that the caulk and seal on my shingles that they were supposed to take care of are now falling apart again.   I called Chris at Indy residential to come out and take a look, and they basically said that they could see on the work order that caulk was used, but have no record of what was actually done so basically I have no proof that it wasn't done correctly, and that they can't warrantee the work after the winter time. So, now I am out not only my money (they did refund a small portion-but not enough to cover the inadequate repair) and lucky me, I have to pay to have it redone The right way. Next, we had some issues with a broken pipe. We have them come out a couple of times to give us an estimate. They came out and then  sent us a quote that didn't encompass the work I needed and was totally different than when I ask for, so I asked him to come back out again. This finally happened to weeks later, and then I never ended up getting another estimate. Apparently my job wasn't big enough, or they are too busy. In this day and age, this process should not be so hard, workmanship should be right, and customer service should be a priority. I found none of these things through with Indiana residential. Unfortunately I will not be using their services, and if your realtor asks you to use the service, I would think hard and long before you do. Getting the work completed quickly is not always the best thing. Unfortunately I learned that the hard way.

Called Sam for a garbage disposal replacement. Cost was reasonable. On time, professional and outstanding job. Will definitely call again when the need arises.

On a Sunday our sewer backed up into the basement. I called one of the other plumbing companies that couldn't make it to help until Monday evening.  When they arrived it was a disaster!  After 2 days the other company decided our mainline was clogged and we needed a clean out.  They dug up the entire front yard only to find that the mainline was in the rear of the house!!!  Then didn't call, and wouldn't answer our calls for 2 full days.  They were so fired!  Called Peterman and they corrected the work done by the other guys and in a very short time we had our sewer up and running.  So, lesson learned.  Peterman was not the cheapest but they are the best.  Will be doing business with them again.  Thank you for great service.

Summers came out to do a tune up on our furnace. Story of our lives, it needed to be replaced. We knew that would be the answer, but we just didn't need it just yet. However, the Summers employee offered us the best furnace in our price range, and showed us others. He was excellent, kind, and knew what he was talking about. We scheduled our replacement a few days later and they were on time, quick, and respectful of our time and home. I will ask Summers to continue to come do our tune ups.

We had a brand new HVAC system installed in December by Comfort Air. They didn't install it properly and we were told they would be back in a few days due to the holidays. Lets just say that didnt happen. I received my new IPL for 12/22/17-1/22/18 & it's almost $700!! Mind you I live in a ranch style home. They came out yesterday and stated the installers did not install my thermostat correctly so we have been running on emergency heat this whole time. Called Comfort Air today and they basically said oh well not their fault. I asked them to pay my electric bill because they did not do the job correctly. The guy rudely told me its not their fault!!! Have you heard this about them?! Absolutely ridiculous!!! They should be responsible!! Should be ZERO stars!!!

Benjamin Franklin worked on my family's hot water heater on Friday July 3. That day we had smelled gas in the laundry room (where the hot water heater is located) but assumed it was because of the work done just hours before. We had people over Friday night and we kept most windows and doors open and we didn't seem to have a problem. Flash forward to the next day, the 4th, my family and I were gone most of the day for festivities while we left our dog home. When we got home, a gas odor had taken over the whole house and my dog was acting lethargic and even fell off the back of our couch. At that point we decided to hook up a portable carbon monoxide detector and about 10 minutes later, it was reading carbon monoxide levels of over 200. When we called Benjamin Franklin they expressed that they couldn't do anything until TUESDAY. That's 4 days. We had to have the gas company shut off all of our gas and we had to stay at hotel for the night, with the chance of having to do it again tonight. I am appalled by the lack of concern Benjamin Franklin has for the health of my family and I would suggest not doing business with them. We had no gas odor and no problems (except the hot water heater being out) before Benjamin Franklin got involved. And when they risked the health of my family and I, the best they could do was wait 4 days. 0/5 stars for almost killing my dog and risking mine and my family's health.

In July we found water dripping (not pouring) out the bottom of our water heater which was 12 years old.  Completely functional, not an emergency.  We called Jim Russell Plumbing.  They got us on their schedule within a couple of days.  Two plumbers showed up, assessed the situation and recommended a new water heater.  No surprise.  They drained the old and brought a new one.  They never offered a sales order or quote.  Shame on me for not asking!  They were professional and swift.  Whole thing took 4 hours or so including them picking up the new one.  When they were done, I asked them for an invoice.  They said that they would send one from the office.  When I finally got the invoice is was $3,633.  I was stunned.  I did the research.  The new water heater they installed could be purchased for $1,788 ($1,913 including sales tax and delivery).  If you follow the math, that means they charged me $1,720 for other materials and labor.  Other materials would be rather insignificant which means they charged me $215/hour for each of the individuals.  Not $215 total, $215 for each individual for each hour.  That's ridiculous.  When I called Jim Russell Plumbing to complain, they made it worse.  They told me that they charged me for an extended warranty, that again, they never told me about or gave me an option to not purchase.  For those of you who don't know, one of the biggest money makers for a manufacturer of any kind is their extended warranty.  Huge profit margins!  I politely made my case as to what I thought was a fair price.  After much back and forth, they refused to acknowledge any responsibility for poor communication and lack of transparency.  I will never use Jim Russell Plumbing again.
