Paul's web presence and Angie's List rating is what brought me to him.
I emailed Paul regarding some prompt and thorough work I needed to prep my Condo for sale. He was able to fit me in - Coming by late on a Friday evening to do a walkthrough of the job and even brought in extra help to make sure the job was done on time in the 3 days I had available. It was great working with Paul, who was very thorough in making sure everything met my desires, and was sure to redo work if it didn't come out just right.
Our place looks fantastic, and I actually was prepared for the total cost to be more: Paul worked very hard and fast, and I look forward to working with him again in the future!

These guys are awesome. Just wanted to put that out there. I first called 128 because of a radiator leak. They arrived when they said they would. He went through what the problem was and what had to be done. It was a bit pricey but worth it. I have called them several times since that job. There is someone always available. They don't keep you waiting and they always do an excellent job. I highly recommend them for all of your plumbing issues.

When I called Gem Plumbing and Heating, I thought I would be getting someone that could do plumbing and heating as the business name implies. They could do neither. They were very honest about it though. I'll give them that.
Our electric water heater kept tripping the breaker. I called Gem. They were very nice on the phone. They told me it would be a $99 service call fee. I could test to see if it was just a faulty breaker myself but, $99 so I don't have to mess around with electric and water? A very fair price.
They came out the next day. Very courteous. They spent 12 minutes verifying that the circuit to the water heater was good. That was it. Their conclusion as worded on the receipt found possible faulty hot water tank. Is it faulty or not? I asked if I needed a new water heater. The response I got was We're just electricians. We can have a plumber come out. Roughly how much would a new tank cost?, We're just electricians. They couldn't even tell me how much it would be to send out a plumber.
Since the furnace also produces hot water and the water was still coming out fairly hot I asked, Is there a way to turn up the temp on the furnace?. You guessed it, We're just electricians but, we can send a furnace person.
TOTAL CHARGE FOR 12 MINUTES OF WORK? $325
That's right, the $99 is just to drive the truck to your house. It doesn't include any work. That's about $27 per minute. It took them longer to fill out the paper work. I even had to put them on MY wifi so they could do it. Maybe I should charge them for that. I'll only charge them $25 a minute so, about $500.
So I guess I would have been charged another $99 plus whatever else for a furnace person to come out and turn up the heat then, if the water still wasn't hot enough, another $99 plus whatever else to have a plumber come out to replace the water heater.
The invoice I got doesn't even have a breakdown of what was done. Just one line that says they cashed my check. Is that even legal? They couldn't even tell me how much it would be to send out a plumber to tell me if I needed a new water heater or not.
I should have put this on my charge and disputed the charge.
