Patrick actually was able to arrive earlier than planned, due to completing his previous job sooner than planned. He seemed so amicable when he arrived and got right to work. He even checked on a worry I had about a possible electrictal issue that turned out to be a burned out led light above my tub with no hesitation. Although I had called about a leak in the copper pipe to my water heater a problem had developed with my bathroom sink facuet pipe . He quickly dismantled the facuet and cleaned it as well as put in a new part, snaked the drain and took the pipe apart to clean it out. The faucet, drain and pipe are working fine. Then he took the elbow off the copper my to the hot water heater and welded a new one on to it. Not only that he took my kitchen faucet apart and showed me how to clean with vinegar. He kindly put up with me watching over his shoulder and answering questions to educate myself. All of his work was so quick and professional and I couldn't believe how truly affordable it was! I will be using A1 again for another job next week and for any future plumbing or electric service needs. Thank you Patrick and A1 Affordable Plumbing and Electric!!
We had an extremely disappointing experience with A1 Electric & Plumbing in Rockford, Illinois. They were responsible for installing electrical panels and running some home-run wires in our building, and the quality of their work was just awful.We've had multiple issues since: electric water heaters ended up being powered by the wrong panels, and even worse, we found electrical breaker terminals that were literally burned and melted because they hadn't been tightened down properly. Loose wires, careless mistakes, and a total lack of attention to detail made it a really bad experience overall. They were also not timely at all, which just added to the frustration.In short, we would not recommend them to anyone else.
I called that Jeff old man glasses with abeard I itook pictures he quoted me a price of $1,800 I had most of the material to upgrade my service but my main thing was I wanted was to have the ceiling fan outlet put in and stuff he didn't even do that he just wanted to do the service after already he started it which should have taken 6 to 8 hours he started it at 8am didn't leave until 11:00pm and still wasn't done had to come back the next day for another 3 hours. I have no problem paying the extra materials he needed to use he just wanted to come back and try and say well I charge $130 an hour no that was what the price was for you quoted me I wouldn't do business with that man again and I still have to call electrician now to do the other work
From my experience, do not go to them for plumbing. It seems like they just did everything very lazily and left stuff undone. I had them put in a new insert for the shower and they left spots exposed and did a terrible caulk job. They probably should have cut more around the window as well to have room to put the trim back on. They did an illegal cut in the basement for the plumbing and I believe the angle of the slope for the one pipe where they did the illegal cut is a bit too much. Highly do not recommend.
I have a 4 unit building that was fully gutted and pretty much turned out to be an all new construction site at the end. I hired A-1 for installing an all new electrical system in the entire building. They did an absolute phenomenal job. Jeff and his crew worked from dusk till dawn even during the winter months without no heat nor electricity as the building was at its bear bones when they started. Jeff with A-1 and his crew went above and beyond and I highly recommend using them for any job big or small. This job required alot of attention to detail which I don't believe a journeyman level company would have been able to handle. All the city inspections were passed with flying colors and even after A-1 passed their electrical inspection, they went through the building and cleaned up very well behind themselves. I live out of state and I was at peace as A-1 handled the job without me needing to be there babysitting them to complete the job. Thanks again Jeff with A-1!!
