Owens come out to see the tree the same day we called and gave us a very fair price to do the job. The team of 4 were on time, friendly and professional.

We plan to hire again and would definitely recommend!

Talked showed pictures of his work and also of he new building he was proud for about 15 min. He went on the roof took two min, looked up into the fireplace and then reported I didn't need any thing every looked great. He had two recommendations that could be done sometime or not at all. I was some what surprised that he said didn't need any as I thought he would be cleaning my ash pit , maybe I didn't explain what I wanted very well. He gave me my bill for just coming 22 miles and looking things over 20 min tops and charge 160.50 for the service call and had to do nothing ,but a lot of talking about himself and his business and ones he use to run. Would not call this service again , feel like I was taken advantage of.

We had our Rheem water heater repaired October 31, 2025. The water become lukewarm, no hot water…read more We called Crystal Heating & Plumbing to fix the problem. They replaced the lower heating element and the bill was 400 $. Two months later in January 2026 the water heater stopped heating water again. We called Crystal Heating & Plumbing to look at the problem. They told us that the lower heating element needs replacement and also the lower thermostat needs to be replaced. The cost was to be 350$ just for the parts. We could not believe that we need to replace the part that was already replaced 2 months ago and that their diagnosis of thermostat is truthful. Decided to call Rheem technician to help us diagnose the water heater problem. It shows that thermostats are good and the lower heating element needs to be replaced. We just had it replaced 2 months earlier by Crystal Heating & Plumbing and they again wanted to do the same job and have us pay 350$ for parts and unspecified amount for the work to be done !?! Because they lied to us about the thermostat and the lower element was just replaced by them we decided to have it fixed ourselves. The parts that supposed to be 350$ we bought for 70$. After draining the water heater we unscrewed the lower heating element and it was all covered by 1/4 inch calcium deposit. ????? That was not possible in case if the part was replaced 2 months ago. They did not do that, just charged for it. It is impossible for heating element to get so much sediment in 2 months !!!!!!!!!!! We screwed back the newly purchased part and the hot water was back. We write the review to let other people know how deceitful and untrustworthy people working for Crystal Heating & Plumbing are. They refused to acknowledge the scam and refused to refund the money for previous fictitious repair. Stay away from them unless you want to be cheated.

Full prior knowledge and prior work on property to have this all being avoided. Prior work on plumbing that could have avoided this entire pipeline fault in total. No accountability. 50% over estimated cost. No written documentation. No paper trail. Just continued dishonesty and lack of accountability by Andy Barber. Legal fees not worth fighting the over estimated cost. I have never been this disappointed with a local business in my entire life. My family has been dealing with this company for 4 generations and have provided them tens of thousands of dollars of business. It's incredibly discouraging that individuals do business this way.

Tom called me a few times, lastly saying, basically, "Let me try something," He ended up saving us thousands of dollars because he didn't give up; and, for that, I am very very thankful.

I contacted Rabe because a family member raved about them. I did not have a similar experience…read more I asked for an estimate to remove an old wood burning heater and then cap and seal the chimney (in a garage). They never came by. I called again, they were going to be in Vinton and could probably come by to check it out. Never heard from them. A few months later, I called and left a message. Nothing. I tried one more time and left a message as the person (not using the name on purpose) in charge of scheduling these types of appointments is always out, probably installing a fireplace. I removed the wood burner myself, it wasn't difficult. Now I need to get a cap on it to stop the rain from coming in. Needless to say, I will not patronize this business after this experience. Apparently, not returning phone calls is the norm around here; some other businesses I have contacted have done the same. Glad they have enough business.

When we returned the carpet had been thoroughly cleaned, and furniture was up on blocks. We were so grateful. It took some days to completely dry, but there was no odor. Now, 5 days later, the carpet is perfect. They called to follow up with us.
