Best Building Permits in Arlington TX
Plumber
I work in ac and heating and worked with Michael a few years back. At that time I believed he was an honest plumber. He recently contacted me and let me know he opened his own business. I wanted some work done and he came out the first time and found some issues, so he did the minor work that could be done, but he did find roots had gone through one of my sewer pipes when he was using his plumber cam. He showed me on his ipad when he was putting the cam through the sewer, so I could see what he was talking about. He was able to clear the roots, but then noticed someone had done a cheap repair at some point in the sewer line by replacing a piece of it with pvc by laying it down instead of properly fixing it. I called him again when I recently had water heater problems. I decided to go with a new water heater, so he started the process and it turned out there were a few other issues that could not be seen until putting in the new water heater. He absolutely went above and beyond what he had to do. Watching him and talking to him while he was working only proved what I believed earlier when I worked with him years ago. He has integrity, character, and wants to do a good job. Not only will I continue to use him as I have other jobs that need to get done and will be costly so I would like to get a little more out of debt first, but my mother and sister will also be using him too. If you need a good plumber, then Michelangelo plumbing is the right company to call.

I have used him for other jobs and while he is thorough and does a good job there is a lack of communication and promises to do stuff but does not follow through. I recently had a roof installed and had my water alarm go off in my water heater. He came out that night as I noticed there was water on the line, and he thought it might be a water leak on the water heater. It turned out the roofing company did not install the water heater flue pipe at all and heat from the flue pipe filled the closet causing the condensation on the cold water line. Michael had to turn the gas off to the water heater and after the roofers rectified the problem he came out a day later because it would have been too late for him to come out that day. He came out and made sure everything was ok. My mother had some pictures on her phone when the roof was getting installed. I told Michael I would get together with her, send him the pictures, and he could send the invoice Monday, so when the inspector would come out we could have the pictures, etc to get my money back. The inspector for the city was coming out Tuesday and, even though, Michael said he would have it ready Monday night, it still was not ready Tuesday morning. I had to contact them and told them I needed it that day. Finally, an hour later I received the invoice. I do not know how it is with others, but concerning me, it seemed like there was not a lot of urgency. I had him work on my sewer line under the house and that took about 2 months and I had a lot of dirt sitting on the grass that entire time, so that grass is dead. Some of it was not his fault and other issues came up, but it just seems like there is not a lot of urgency. He is a nice guy and great plumber, but it just a bit stressful until the job was done. I even asked him to give a quote for my mother's water heater. He asked for pictures which I sent, but a week after he promised to give her a quote, she still did not hear from him.
