Best A/C Repair in Milwaukee WI
Usually when you need a plumber, you REALLY need a plumber. So you go on line and start searching hoping that the random one you pick turns out to be a good choice.
Well if you are looking, and are in the Milwaukee area, look no further than Taagen plumbing. I have been using them for years to service my rental properties in this area and they are great.
Trustworthy, honest, dependable and reasonably priced- I only wish I could find their equivalent in the Chicago area to work on my personal home.
They do the work that needs to be done and don't try to up sell you to things that you don't need. They clean up after themselves and are even willing to bill me for the work given I live out of state. And they run on time! (say that about your plumber!)
The woman that answers the phone is also great. She remembers me from job to job and works to prioritize my needs.
I hope you don't need a plumber as that usually means trouble. But if you do- call Taagen. They are tops in my book!

I read numerous positive reviews on Thumbtack regarding water softener repairs by this outfit, and I'm VERY pleased to say Waterfoul Plumbing did not disappoint! Corey was very professional, very courteous, and corrected our issue. Because our softener is 20+ years old, I figured we would have to purchase a new one, however, Corey indicated the unit was fine but just needed a new part. He corrected our issue within an hour. He's also very reasonable in terms of price. Waterfoul is now our go-to for all of our plumbing needs. Thanks, Corey!

Very professional, clean, and quick, no hidden charges, same day service, reasonable rates, honest opinion and offered suggestions on how to save costs. He had all necessary materials with him. I would highly recommend his service especially in an emergency.

Very affordable. Jon helped with lighting fixtures and changing out non-functional smoke alarms. He was knowledgeable, prompt, and communicated effectively. I will not hesitate to call again for future needs. Highly recommend.

I recently had my whole bathroom remodeled. A full tear out including electrical and plumbing issues. Jay was professional and did a fantastic job! He was busy re-routing and installing plumbing. Upgraded electricity and fixed unsafe electrical issues. A beast of a job. He was detailed oriented, very informative, valued my family's safety, and stayed as long as it was needed to complete the job. We are incredibly pleased with Jay and his work! Definitely calling him in the future.

Will not use these guys again. Tech was in and out of a rental property within 15 minutes, to snake a toilet. Got charged for 1 hour of labor, twice, for both a toilet adjustment and for the snake. Price was exorbitantly high. My fault for having gone through with it after they quoted it but even after escalating the matter the management stood by their pricing. Look elsewhere first.

The company phone number isn't right. seems they changed numbers and didn't fix it here.

I was disappointed that they seem to be too busy to pay attention to and service someone who calls with a smaller need. I called to get information about abandoning my well (since I don't use it much and the 5-year testing is annoying). Since I don't have the history on my well, he said he would look it up (I heard nothing back). Since I was nearing the renewal deadline, I called back to schedule a shock treatment. He seemed surprised and annoyed that I went directly to his cell (his answering service was off the hook, so it routed to him). He said he would call me right back (he never did). I know they are probably top of the line, but if he's too busy to service a well shock treatment I wish he'd just say so.

Derek Kuepper helped with our remodel and was great. Thorough and meticulous with everything he did! Would use again!

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY FOR ANYTHING, unless you actually like to be scammed. Our sink drain was clogged - we could run the water in small amounts, but if we left it on for a longer time, it would fill up the pipe from where the clog was and start backing up into the sink. Then it would slowly drain out.
Sunday night (7/21/13) I called B Bohmann Plumbing (without reading any reviews!) and scheduled an appointment for 4:30-5:00 on Monday. On Monday, Brian (the owner) and an apprentice showed up at 4:30 - so far so good. They took a look at the pipes and presented us with a couple of options: snake the pipe for $243 or snake and flush the pipes for $362. We asked what the flushing was for and were told by the apprentice that it was just to really clean out all the sedatives and flush them down from the pipes connecting to the sink. Since my husband had taken the pipes under the sink apart in an attempt to find the clog, we knew that there was nothing wrong with those and went with the cheaper option.
We had to sign the work order and pay before they started the work - a bit unusual for any contractor. Fine, we'd have to pay sooner or later.
After half an hour of snaking the drain we were told that it was not working and that we would have to get the flush (pay an additional $120) to try and take care of the problem (which still was not a guarantee to work and we would have to pay for whatever else might need to be done in addition to the $360, if the flush doesn't work). Apparently, the first option only covered the actual snaking for one half hour, regardless of the result.
I was frustrated and went to talk to Brian about these extortionist billing practices. Brian continued saying that we agreed to the first option and he did the work that we agreed to; if we don't want additional work done, he could just leave - with the clog still in the drain, absolutely no different than it was when they got here. What's more, he was not able to tell me whether this flush would even take care of the problem or if he would have to do something else an how much that might cost.
We ended up paying for the additional service and it cleared out the clog. After reading the reviews, I am certain that all of this could have been done for much cheaper.

I have used Milwaukee Plumbing for lots of work from sink & toilet installations to leaking pipes. They never disappoint. Always professional prompt service. All of their plumbers are super friendly and very knowledgable. I have a rental unit that they've serviced to my home and my business. Trust me if you want reliable service at a fair price call them! Best decision you'll ever make.

This company is Awesome! We have used them for numerous installs and repairs for the past couple of years and have never been disappointed. We have had them install two new toilets, grab bars in the shower, a new garbage disposer and a new water heater. We have also had them check to see why our basement drain kept backing up and they fixed that problem. This last time we had them back because the new water heater they installed in January 2015 stopped working last month. No hot water! They made four trips to our house to try to fix the problem and it would work for a day or two, or last time a week, but they finally decided to order us a new one from the manufacturer and installed it yesterday. All of this was at no charge to us, no labor, parts, nothing! The owner, Jeff, even came on a Friday afternoon to get a new part installed. He has been great, always available through text or phone. He also called today to make sure the install went OK and that we weren't having any problems. Can't blame Cox for the water heater problems, we apparently got a deficient heater from Rheem. Everyone there is pleasant and helpful and willing to do whatever they can to help. You can't go wrong with these guys!

We just purchased our first home and are so glad we found Dale to help us out. From the leaky faucet upstairs, to the downpour of a leak in the shower, to the garbage disposal he was so very helpful. Dale fixed the leaky faucet, gave us advice for how to re-caulk the tub, and he re-installed the garbage disposal the proper way with the proper configuration of the pipes.
So glad to have used their services and will do so again and again (though hopefully we do not need them!)

They misquoted the hourly rate, and I ended up doling out $350 for a simple garbage disposal replacement. The technician was late the the appointment and also didn't apply discounts until repeatedly reminded. I'll look elsewhere next time I need plumbing work done.

After a friend referred me to Ihn Company, I decided to give them a call. I felt the quote was very reasonable so I went with it. On the day of installing the beams on my basement walls, they were very quick to begin and finish the job. Also at the same time had a toilet installed in the basement. All went well and very fast. My basement no longer has the odor coming from it that it did. I am happy I finally had the work done and before it was too late. If I had waited much longer, I would have need excavation work done also. Thank you Ihn Company.

I called Ben to unclog my bathroom drain. He arrived around 9:30 a.m. He told me it was clogged in the sewer line and he would have to snake it. He started snaking the sewer drain. After a couple hours I asked him how it was going, and he said it was bad but he thought he could get it. I checked on him every couple hours after that and he said he thought he could clear the clog. At around 5 or 6 o'clock he told me he thought the sewer pipe was BROKEN outside the house and he wouldn't be able to fix it today. He gave me a 5 THOUSAND DOLLAR QUOTE!!!!! to fix the sewer pipe. So, I asked how much I owed him for the day, and he charged me $850 and didn't accomplish anything. He was also on his cellphone about 90% of the time. The next day I had Roto Rooter come in and they cleared my CLOGGED sewer pipe by the end of the day. The sewer pipe was never broken. I would never have or recommend flow rite do any plumbing in my house.

My wife and I built a home. The builder has used Wilkes Plumbing for many of his jobs. I talked with the owners wife who handles sales and pricing. We had things in the home that we wanted to upgrade. My wife and I set an appointment to meet with the owner. At that time we had questions as to what the itemized cost of things were and what the cost of the alternative option would be. Things seemed off because she could never give a straight answer. I had to ask multiple times because I want to be sure of things. She would never tell me the cost of the original options and would never tell me the actual cost of the alternative. She would only give me estimated additional cost over the estimate. (example: The larger tub would be an additional $300 on top of our initial bid). This made it very difficult to weigh our options. Our third option would have been to purchase things our own. We would not know if we had better pricing if we did not know the original price. I also wanted to know that if I wanted to purchase my own tub what would our credit be for them not providing the originally quoted item. She told me she did not know the prices which was understandable. She claimed she would email me the prices of everything the next day. She emailed me a list and once again the list was only composed of price differences and not an actual itemized pricing of their services or products. The price difference was reasonable and despite my frustration I was advised to just continue because going with anyone else at that time would delay our build. I agreed that we would pay the additional for the upgrades. They were scheduled to start working a week or two after. Upon a visit to the home I found all of their supplies in the house so they could start working the following day. Everything we requested looked to be correct. Up until this point they had been fairly professional even with my reservations with the pricing. They had also been on time and friendly. We were happy. The next day I received an email claiming that the total price had increase. It was substantially higher than previously communicated in emails. I immediately called the owners wife and questioned the email. I was not happy. She had told me that the prices was higher because the changes were based off of the building plans and not the estimate. The building plans were designed to have a walk in shower and a whirlpool tub. She said the price was based off the house having a modular shower/tub combo. The shower and tub would be extra. The home design never had a modular unit and always was designed to have a shower and tub. It appeared that she had based the allowance off of the generic price she regularly charges this builder and not specific to the building plans we had. I told her that this was not acceptable because when we had met with her we had a copy of our plans with us and had previously requested she had itemized costs ready when we meet. She did not have that and never took the time to recognize that my home was a different design than she had previously provided service to. As a business professional she should have had a way of handling this. None of this would have happened if she would have originally provided the information I had requested. I told her that the new price was simply not feasible. She said they had already started the install and that it was to late. I told her to stop working on the job because I do not approve the additional costs and I will not be liable for them. I was irate and spoke to her in such manner. I told her no further work is authorized until costs have been reviewed. I went to the house to check on the status of what was already done. The plumbers were still there working. As soon as I walked in an older man confronted me saying are you the owner I told him yes. He started yelling and got in my face saying if you ever talk to my wife like that again you'll regret it. I told him that his wife was trying to pull one over on me. It turned into a big fight. They would not leave and so I did because I was concerned about my safety. I had emailed them and told them to only do what was in the original estimate. I had to buy and install my own tub and build my own shower including laying a cement shower pan. I still was forced to pay them extra because they would not allow any other person to work on the job because they held the permit. If I wanted another person to work on it I would have had to have the city pull their permit and issue one to the new contractor. It would have delayed my build and Wilkes would not have finished the job they were over charging me for. I was stuck. I was lied to, over charged, screamed at, and threatened. In the end I still had to pay extra and did not get anything from them that I had wanted in my home. Worst experience ever and I would never recommend anyone to use them.
