I called this company to have work done on a property in Delphos. They informed me they weren't taking new customers and haven't taken new customers for over a year. Don't waste your time calling them. They were very rude on the phone. If I could give them zero stars I would.

Great service called them on the weekend and the called right back and was able to walk me thru some troubleshooting things over the phone so they could better diagnose the problem without having to make two service calls. In the end they were able to walk me thru how to fix the problem without having to send anyone out. Great company.

We had an amazing experience with their HVAC team, getting the project done in a time-friendly manner and everyone was very nice. However, we did not get the same experience from the plumbing team. We not only got charged for them to drive out here, which they were suppose to come with the HVAC team, had to call 3 times to get someone out here and then they were only here for 45 minutes. After all this we still do not have the original problem fixed, and the lady I have spoke with in the office was no help telling me "it's just how we bill", I have never been charged for drive time from any business especially one that I had to repeatedly call just to get them out to my house. I am supposedly waiting on a call from a manager but it has been a week and still nothing. Sad to say will not be using them again in the future!
