Best Air Duct Repair in Detroit MI
We had a major blockage in our basement drain that prevented the use of our washer and the Kitchen sink. I could NOT believe it when they said they could fix it in 2 days. They came exactly when the appointment started and were very respectful of our home. They did the work very efficiently. I expected more cement removal but was happy they kept it to only what was needed. The pipes were replaced the first day in less than 6 hours. They then returned the next day to refill and repour concrete. They were out by about noon on a Saturday. We got our laundry room back and our sink. Support local businesses that care. Call these guys with any Heating, Cooling or Plumbing issue. We won't use anyone else.

I initially contacted Warkentin as I wanted to install a sump pump. They came out and quoted a price and although they weren't the cheapest, they came highly recommended. After I gave them the go ahead to do the job, I decided to waterproof my entire basement. As this is out of their realm, they recommended a few places to me and also advised me to ask if they still installed the sump pump afterwards would it affect the waterproofing warranty...which it would. Thanks to this piece of advice from Dawn.
Dawn recommended that I have the same company install the sump pump, which I ended up doing.
Flash forward a couple of months and I had decided to remove a tub and replace it with a shower. This would require changing the plumbing and setting a shower base. I contacted Warkentin specifically based on Dawns integrity with my previous issue. Her team came out and ran pipes and move the floor drain. As the shower walls were not yet installed, their plumber said he'd come back to set everything to the proper depth and ensure they were aligned properly. Once the walls and tiling were up, I contacted Dawn and she sent someone the following day.
Very happy with their professionalism, integrity and efficiency.
Would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Commercial grade disposal stopped working and I called Birmingham plumbing. They came recommended. What a joke!
Basically, a 30 minute diagnostic check cost $205 and the thing still isn't working. He quoted me $450-500 if he had to work on it. The service guy didn't even remove the unit to check it....in fact, he never took a tool out. Sat and watched it from above. Blamed the issue on something so ridiculous, it made no sense. That's what $205 got me. What would $450 get me?
Oh boy!
He did quote me $5,000 on a new unit. Really? No closer to resolving the issue, wasted my time, money and he had no intentions of doing anything further than come up with an excuse so he could leave.
I guess Birmingham Plumbing charges Birmingham prices. Hey guys, what about customer service and doing what your supposed to do....WORK!

It saddens me to be giving this company a 2-star rating. This was my experience.
I needed an electrician to remove a wall fan, venting my kitchen to the outside. I yelped an electrician, and got 5 added quotes from Yelp. Darin, the owner of Burton HVAC, was the very first response, and he gave me a low-ball quote of $85 fixed rate.
Well, they weren't rated on yelp, and had zero reviews. Their page said they had been in business for 19 years, and had electricians on staff, among others, so I decided to try googling the company to see if I could find anything else out about them. They had 5 5-star ratings on google. This being said, I assumed they were trying to increase their presence on yelp, by taking a loss on a few projects in order to get some 5-star reviews here. So, I decided to give them a try.
I called the number given in Darin's response, only to be met with Hello. It took me aback, and I had to ask twice if I was reaching Burton HVAC. I was, and Darin said he could come straight over! Unfortunately, it was a Wednesday or Thursday when I called, and I told him I would not be available until the following week. He could choose his date and time to visit, but it couldn't be Monday. Darin told me Tuesday at 1pm would work for him, so I put his visit on my calendar. He also asked me to text him my name, address, and the time and date of the appointment so he could add it to his calendar later.
On Monday, I received an invoice via text for the services he was going to provide. I've never been billed before meeting the service provider before. And on Tuesday at 11:47am, I received a text message saying that my appointment at 1pm was 'coming up'.
At 1pm, my son took our dog and left the house for an hour trying to get him out of the way during the service call. No one had arrived at that point. At 2pm, my son came home from lunch with our dog, and was surprised to see the fan still in the wall. I had not received a phone call or any communication from Burton HVAC at this point.
I texted Darin and said Weren't you supposed to be at my house at 1pm today? His response was Yes I was sending a technician your way and he should have been there at 1:00, let me see what's going on.
Darin called me 10 minutes later to tell me his technician was working on a job that was running over, and he still needed to do another job after that before he could see me! He then stated that he would just come over himself to do the work. I said that would be fine, and then he told me that it would be another 2 to 4 hours before he could make it to my house. I clarified with him that it meant he would be arriving at my house sometime between 4pm and 6pm. Darin then asked if I would like to be kept in the loop, and I told him Yes! Please let me know what is going on.
Well, 4pm came and went, 5pm came and went, and 6pm came and went, and STILL no contact from Darin or anyone at Burton HVAC.
At 6:24pm Darin texted. It read Okay if it's not too late I'll be heading your way. That will put me there at about 7:30
My husband was home, and was definitely not happy with the way things were going, but at that point I just wanted the work done. I was not confident that the guy would be able to be on time on any other day, and I didn't want to waste another 7 or 8 hours waiting again, so I told him We'll be here. And he responded with On my way!
Well, as you can guess, 7:30pm came and went without word from Darin. At 8:04pm, Darin texted I'm about 5 minutes away. He arrived by about 8:15pm... for a 1pm appointment.
Darin and his co-worker were very nice. They were obviously having a long day, but still trying to do the best job they could. I realized after they arrived that (I'm 99.9% sure) neither one of them were electricians.
They worked really hard to remove the fan from the wall of my house. It was in there good. Then, they just cut and capped the live electrical wires and dropped them in the wall of my house! An electrician would have known that doing that is a violation of building codes. My husband knew it, but at the time, I did not.
Anyway, the two gentlemen both worked hard while at my house. The fan is removed. They even put a towel in the hole and taped a bag over the opening to keep bugs, etc. out until we can have the gap sealed properly.
After they left, I returned a microwave cart to the area below the fan, and plugged it into the electrical receptacle there. After their visit, there is now no power to that receptacle. We now need to have another electrician come out to properly remove the electrical wires in the wall and fix the outlet for our microwave.
I feel Darin bit off more than he could chew with my job. He needed to send an electrician & if one wasn't available, he should have rescheduled. Or perhaps he should have never quoted my job in the first place.

Oak Electric installed external generator and the whole process went extremely smooth-From the first meeting with Jeremy to the final installation, they were extremely helpful, courteous, and went out of their way to answer all my questions.
They came on time, did their work, and left on time-the process involved much traffic through the house, and they were careful not to track dirt amd closed screen door. They cleaned up afterward.
I highly recomment them

They only service certain zip codes in Detroit, which are selected based on proximity to where their technicians live. I asked for examples of the zip codes they deign to serve, and the zip codes they shared just happen to be the wealthier and predominantly white zip codes in Detroit.

I guess they didn't want to do the work. They just left, no answer from the company office. Unprofessional to be mild about it. Hot water heating issue, leaking water. Thank you

The Search For Heat The Saga Continues.
This is a true story and is my opinion.
On Friday December 20th our furnace broke down. We called Reliance to have a technician come out to fix it. A technician came out and told us that it was a circuit board and that he would order the part but that it would not arrive until December 24th. The box did arrive on the 24th and we called to have the technician come out. He arrived that day and spent some time attempting to fix the furnace after making a lot of noise. He came upstairs and informed us that the part they had sent was the wrong part it was a blower motor and not a circuit board and that he had damaged our blower trying to put in the new one after realized it was the wrong blower motor. My thought was, you didn't realize the difference. He said he would have to order another circuit board and that we would get a free blower motor because of the damage to the original, which was in good condition to start, but that he could not order them until Friday Dec 27th and that they would arrive on
Dec 30th. So more days of cold without a furnace. On Dec 30th the circuit board arrived but guess what, no blower motor, so now the motor has to be ordered and it will most likely not arrive until Jan 3rd. That means we will have been without a furnace for 2 weeks. We called
reliance to speak to a supervisor and was told by the supervisor to call again tomorrow because the parts depot is closed, sorry for the inconvenience. Inconvenience are you kidding, being without heat for two weeks is more than just an inconvenience. We have had to purchase electric heaters and run them constantly. My wife has a medical condition that is adverse to cold and my 12 year old granddaughter lives with us as well. This whole situation is unacceptable and should never have happened. I think Reliance needs to change their name.
