Best in Indianapolis IN

This is the second time I have reviewed Paul Henderson Plumbing. Recently they replaced a garbage disposal. After looking at the bill and researching I found that they charged me twice what the disposal cost at all the local hardware stores. I complained but they said it was because the local stores get a better deal than they do. Why wouldnt they go to lowes? BI asked to have the owner call me to discuss this and I haven't heard  a word. I am very concerned that they are overcharging customers. And disappointed in Paul Henderson Plumbing.

The very best plumber available anywhere! We have called for help, estimates. and advice for a number of issues and plumbing projects for years and Hunter is the best. They are the only plumber we call.

Tech was fast and knowledgeable.. Definitely recommend Cornwell. They did the job for only $125 where another plumber (Hope) wanted $750.

Nate and the team at Mishler are top notch. I had an issue in the winter of 2011 when a water pipe was frozen and cracked causing water to leak all over my home. Within a few hours they had a licensed plumber out, who quickly identified the issue area and made the repair for a very fair price. The owner, Nate Mishler, is very trusthworthy and honest, which is sadly lacking in home services.

Thank you to Indy Water Heater and Softener LLC!!! They were responsive, thorough, and incredibly easy to work with. I thought I would be without hot water for much of the week and in four hours the slab leak we had was found, repaired, and covered back up. Thank you for the great work!

This review is for both Commercial Service HVAC service AND their partner company, R & S Plumbing.

Two years ago, when we bought our home in Bloomington, the HVAC system needed to be upgraded. The estimate we received from Commercial Service was the most reasonable we received and they had the quality HVAC equipment we wanted. The installation was not easy (very tight space in our cellar) but they did a great job. We have them come back every year for seasonal maintenance and they are friendly and efficient.

Regarding R & S Plumbing, we had them install a sump pump in our cellar when we first moved in. Another difficult installation that they made look easy.

Yesterday I discovered a leak under the kitchen sink. It was 3:30PM but the dispatcher from R & S was able to get a plumber over to our house within 30 minutes. The plumber who arrived was awesome. He found the leak right away and not only repaired it, but showed me why it was leaking. He also tested his repair several times to ensure that all was well.

The charge for the plumbing repair was just over $100 which I thought was very reasonable. Highly recommend both Commercial Service and their partner company, R & S Plumbing.

The technician was very polite and thorough. He arrived in the timeline the company quoted. The work I had done was reasonably priced.

We had these guys replace our water heater. They left a gas leak! When I called to see if they could come out to fix it I had to leave a message and didn't hear back from anyone until 8:30 at night (4 hours later). I talked to the man who installed it and he made a gas leak seem like no big deal stating, Unless the smell is so bad you can barely breathe, it isn't really harmful. What?! He said the could come out the next day to check it since I had a one year warranty on the labor. We called FOUR times and no one retuned out calls. We were forced to have another plumber come out to fix the leak. We are now having our credit card company dispute the charges. What a mess! Do not use these guys!!!!

Way overpriced. The tech did not explain their cost of the water softener installation and they charged almost $500. All they had to do was hook it up since I provided the softener. I will never use this company again.

Have always had excellent service and response time from Roto Rooter.  Our most recent issue was a clogged drain line, which backed up our toilets and showers.  Our shower and tub were still draining slowly and Khuma came out for follow up service free of charge and cleared both drains.  He was both courteous and professional.

We needed to have our (very old) sewer line replaced. We'd received a quote from another company but wanted to bid out such a large project. Carlisle was less expensive and did a very good job. They gave us multiple options and quotes as well as their recommendations on how to proceed. The sewer was a tight squeeze between houses, trees, and our gas line. They dug it up and replaced it, as well as some additional plumbing inside to reroute a pipe without any incidents. They were very good at explaining to me what they were doing and were courteous and professional when asking me to run water to test the line. I would recommend them for future plumbing projects.

I've used these guys several times for various home remodel and repair work. They arrive on time and work all day getting your job done. They are sometimes a bit expensive in how they price things, but if you talk to the owner, Chad Christian, he will work with you for the best deal that fair for all and affordable for you. Estimates are normally not fee, trip charge is about $85 and will count towards any repair work you may have done. They have done AC, plumbing, wiring / electrical, rood, gutter, and construction work for me. The crew does good work and tries their best to not make messes and cleans up as much as they can at the end of each day, but messes are expected in any type remodel. So they do a good job. I will use them again as needed. I recommend them for your home repair needs.

Donny from Benjamin Franklin plumping came out for a routine maintenance call. He checked out the water heater and even consulted on an issue I was having the the kitchen sink.

No pressure to do more work outside what he was there for however he did ask if I needed him to look at anything else.

Professional and on time as scheduled. Donny was great!

Contracted theses people to install a walk in tub for my Mother. Due to her decline in her health we had to cancel installation, Indy renovation refunded her money...

Beware - can't even troubleshoot and unplug a toilet - Plumbing 101.  Had 2 plugged toilets, 1st tech came out (late), threw a wad of toilet paper down each toilet, tried to auger one, said they were fine and left.  Both still plugged.  I went to Lowes and bought a small auger and tried unplugging it myself.  I got a bill for $180 - tech was only there 5 min and did not unplug either toilet.  I called Gordon and they lowered my bill to $90 and I said I would only pay if they came out and fixed it properly.   2nd tech showed up (late), flushed the two toilets and said the flapper valve was closing too quickly and left.  Did not event try to auger either toilet and coerced my wife into paying the $90.  Now I am out $90 and still have two plugged toilets.  I am going to Lowes to get a longer auger (was using the 3.5 ft one in between plumber visits) and fix it myself.  My advice, fix it yourself or call someone other than Gordon.

DON'T CALL THEM!!!

McNeely Owned came out to my 92 year old mother's home to service her Air Conditioner Unit and basically charged her nearly 3hrs labor ($180) for approximately 45min Worth of work. This was this year  (June 2013)  and what makes it so bad is they had done the exact same work  in July the previous year which indicates that they are not fixing the problem, just bandaging it in order to come back and repair again.

Air conditioners are only used a good 3 to 4 months out of the year and for it to be fixed in the middle of summer and then need the same repair in the beginning of the next summer says allot about the quality of work at McNeely.

The service guy Kirk is a really nice Iraq war Veteran that is very pleasant and professional, but the so called owner Kim is a real BIT%H to deal with. Very nasty and snippy attitude. I tried to be reasonable and offered to pay 2hrs of labor and she said NO! The Bill Stands!!! and immediately threatened to place a Mechanic's lean on the property.  She then went on to inform me that I had to pay for kirk the service guy's drive time from when he leaves his previous call till he gets to my house, while he works on the unit, while he sits in his truck to cool off, while he calls the dispatcher for his next job etc... Basically I have to pay 3hrs. of labor for 45min of work.

Not Good People To Do Business With At ALL!!!!

I have heard that they actually use to do business as ARS (Air Conditioning Ripoff Service) but then they changed the name for obvious reasons, never the less ARS as well as McNeely are banned from working on this home and we will never call them again!!!

Larry Plumbing did some work in my house about a year ago, He was found by the contractor I hired back then and never had to deal with him personaly. Recently, I had a situation where my basement flooded due to a clogged outside drainage, although it took us some time to find, my first person to reach was Larry... here's where it gets fun, he picks up the phone and tells me that he has no interest to help out due to a bad past experience with the contractor I had when I was remodeling the house .. he then tells me to find someone else to fix my problems! This level of unprofessional customer dealing leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth and thought I would share so no one has to deal with this kind of issues in the future. I don't have anything negative to say about his job which has held fine, but definitely on his customer treatment and more on emergencies such as the one I just went through.

He was the only plumber who come come within 4 hours for a leak in my garage.  I should have waited.   He did find the leak in an outside faucet and repair it.  He then takes me into cutting a vent in my furnace stack to heat my garage, then drive to a hardware store 5 minutes away to buy a vent.  He was gone almost 2 hours.  When he came back he looked at another leaking outdoor faucet and told me it was not urgent, and that he wasn't available again for 3 weeks.  He charged me almost $800, most of that labor for time he wasn't even at my home.  I called someone else a few weeks later.  The second leak caused a mold problem that had to be remediated, and the furnace vent is not to code and has to be removed.  By the way, the faucet he did repair no longer works.  What a crook!
