Mike has been in Ames for years and knows his trade well. He's fair, overviews the project and gives approximations on how long the job will take.

In the end trust saves a lot of time and I am very happy with the end result. I got a great service at a fair price.

We used C & K Heating and Air Conditioning to replace the home furnace/AC when the 25 year old…read moreequipment began to fail.

We got better efficiency equipment and the quote was $1000 less than a competitor with less efficient equipment. Plus they provided a years worth of service 2 times/year) for free. The installers were very nice and cleaned up well. We also have used C and K's Plumbing service with good results. Had to put in a new shut off valve because the old one was leaking and very old, some fixture work in the bathroom, adding of a hand shower, and 16 fixing a wobbling toilet. Have found their people to all be professional, personable and reliable. The company communicates well via text to let you know when they are arriving with a picture of the service person which is a nice feature. I recommend C and K. We are two for two and I've just called them again today to fix a gas leak on a 1974 natural gas garage heater.

They told us they would be by in the morning on the day we scheduled them to come out. After much waiting and repeated calls from us, they didn't arrive until mid-afternoon. Their quotes for the thermostat were humorously overpriced (300-500% markup for the themostat itself, then additional charges for the labor) and their quote for the humidifier was similarly high. After we told them that we would not be interested in their services at this time, they still charged us an $80 "service fee" for receiving those quotes.

After shutting off the water, I called Doug with Gateway and he showed up 20 minutes later. Upon arrival, he walked in, diagnosed the problem, and did a full inspection to make sure nothing else was damaged. When done, he offered to fix any other minor plumbing issues we had since he was already at the house. A fixed leaky toilet and shower head later, he was done. The entire process, start to finish, was under $100. That price, which is WAY lower than Ben Franklin and their salesmen/plumbers, included emergency service, all the parts, and peace of mind knowing our house would not flood. Thanks, Gateway and Doug!
