From the initial phone call with Nicole, she did everything she could to get the appointment scheduled as soon as possible and found something that worked with our schedule. She also provided a text option to confirm the appointment which was also very helpful. Cy was the technician who provided our inspection. He called to let us know he would be arriving a bit early. He was diligent in addressing our concerns and checking other portions of the house and foundation. His assessment was honest and fortunately, he did not find our foundation to be the issue (thankfully). He did not suggest any unnecessary services and told us to beware of other area foundation companies that may try this. We appreciated his help and honesty.

Cy came on time and checked each crack out, including a small one on our basement floor. He said that the cracks we had were cosmetic; they weren't large enough to indicate a problem. He even gave me his card and said if a home inspector says otherwise, to have him call. All this honestly and information, and there was no charge. I can't praise Lux Foundations enough!

Outrageous pricing!…read more If those two words are not enough to begin your search for plumbing services elsewhere, keep reading. I was called by Michael and Sons to see if I wished to schedule a plumbing inspection as part of our maintenance package. I said "no," that I would like to get a quote on installing a tankless hot water heater. The same model they recommended cost half that at a big box store. The gas permit charge is $400 through them. Madison County has a rather opaque system for determine plumbing permit charges which means if I get the permit myself, it will be between $75 and $310. I'm willing to pay a convenience fee to have a project done in one fell swoop and won't comment on this charge. What I will comment on is the price for labor alone -- approximately $4200 with our Gold Discount of $600-$800, meaning that a first time customer would be out approximately $5000 for the labor of one skilled plumber. I was told that M&S need to block out a time frame from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM -- nine hours assuming their man takes an hour for lunch. I told the scheduler that I don't think an admittedly-skilled person is going to take nine hours to install such a device and estimated out loud that that is around $500 per hour. After trying to deflect my assertion, I was somewhat-disingenuously told that there was no per hour rate and that such calculations cannot be made. But after a little back-and-forth, my numbers were generally-confirmed. You are welcome to do the math and try to get your mind around the actual number of man hours involved. A lot of you out there pay for such services after refinancing your houses and don't spend much time thinking about how much such projects cost because you are awash in cash and have projects that have been nagging you for years. Or the plumbing company can give you easy credit. Slow down! And one last point I wish to make is through an experience I had years ago when replacing a gas water heater. Can't remember the company, but I got an outrageous estimate, but from an honest plumber. He told me people in Woodbridge have more money than sense; that the job would take him two hours or so; and that after looking at my workshop, he advised me to do it myself. I did. It took around three hours and his quote was for around $1200.

He had worked with our insurance company before and suggested we file a claim to see if it was covered. He was here when the adjustor and her inspector were here and were in agreement with what he proposed to do. We decided to replace the gutters at the same time. We were so pleased that the claim was approved, materials ordered and appointment to have the work done. They were extremely professional and completed the work quickly. The gutters were done the following Monday. We were very pleased with the finished work and their price.
