I reached out to Randal for a replacement quote with a picture, and at 10pm at night, he promptly provided me a detailed description of the piping, and explained that he had in fact been the one to conduct the work on this piping years in the past (I assume he remembered the job simply from the picture??). The supply line is not a concern, and the fitting in question was actually a runoff drain line that was not under pressure. Randal, then explained that as the new owner, the 10 year parts and labor warranty transfers to me. Thanks for the honest and detailed response at no charge!

But a great plumber is only good if you can get a response from them. I've been dealing with him for several years now. Consistently I've had to message repeatedly, call repeatedly. On occasion - as the first time I contacted him probably in 2023 - he answers the phone himself, and provides info on what he thinks the problem is. And he does phenomenal work. After a few years of being a good customer, patient, paying on time, never objecting to pricing, I **STILL** cannot get a response from him. One issue is that he's a one man show. It's him, or no one. His wife is lovely and accompanies him at times. Very knowledgeable herself. About 4 weeks ago I initiated contact and he responded immediately via text. Great, I thought. Then nothing. After a few more messages checking in, he said there was a family medical situation. I gave him space, and here we are two weeks and yet another text message to him later, and nothing. Nada. And still a leaking well tank. C'mon. Do better. We are done, hope you sort yourself out with other customers - I've seen several other people have had the same experience.

I was told the plumber must be tied up and that she would check the status. At that point, I told her not to bother. We completely understand that unexpected issues can delay a plumber -- that's not the problem. The issue is the lack of basic courtesy. A simple phone call to reschedule would have been appreciated. Instead, I sat at home for four hours waiting on a no‑show. It was frustrating, inconvenient, and highly unprofessional. Based on this experience, I would not recommend calling them.

It was 19 degrees outside and didn't seem to be much warmer inside the house either. The owner of my house has a regular maintenance contract with Beck Cohen and they had just installed a brand-new HVAC system this past summer so I called them immediately. They were very busy with weather related issues for multiple HVAC customers but they told me that they would have a technician come out ASAP to try to fix the problem and to get some heat going in the house. Their technician, JUSTIN BAIN, was working at another location but arrived at my house in less than an hour from the time of my original call. He immediately found the problem with the HVAC system and quickly fixed it so the house began to warm up quickly. Ironically, the system here was scheduled for its semi-annual maintenance check on the very next day so JUSTIN stayed for nearly 3 hours completing that check while he was here so that he could check for and correct any other possible problems with the system. In the past 6 months, I have had two HVAC issues which were significant since both happened during periods of very inclement weather, both heat and cold. The first was this past summer when the old HVAC system totally crashed during a 95-degree heat wave and Beck Cohen expeditiously replaced the entire system within just a few days. And the second incident being the minor issue that occurred this past Monday which JUSTIN quickly fixed on that very cold day. Beck Cohen has both EXCELLENT Customer Service and technical HVAC expertise and service which I value because I've had some unpleasant experiences with other HVAC companies in the past so I'm very happy and relieved that I can always rely on Beck Cohen for quick and effective service!!
