Those of you who know me are aware that I am a contractor's worst nightmare. I rarely find anything good about the class of builders and contractors that exist in the Atlanta area. Because the work that they do basically sucks, I now buy books and do all of my own repairs and building projects. Given that, the last thing in the world that I would do is recommend to any of my friends any contractor that has worked for me in the past several years.
In the past couple of months, however, we became victims of the gray polybutylene water pipe failure syndrome that is prevalent in our area. There are not enough books available to become proficient in repiping a two-story house, so, it was with considerable trepidation that I searched out a repipe specialist in the area. I talked with three locals listed in the Home Services Review and rejected them all for one reason or another (cost; guarantee; references; timeframe; etc.)
Then I found Greenlee Plumbing out of Braselton online. They quoted me a price that was less than half of any of the locals and gave me a list of references to call. When I called the references, I couldn't believe that any company was as good as they claimed Greenlee to be. I was especially concerned about their finish work because that has always been a problem in the past, but all the references said that the refinishers were true artists. On the basis of 6 outstanding references we contracted with Greenlee.
The long and the short of it is this: the workers were on time; they worked under a master plumber with a lot of repipe jobs under his belt; they completed all their work in one day; they stuck to their price; my walls and ceilings looked better after they were refinished than they had before the work (they do not do wallpaper--that was on me); and they returned to repair a couple of minor problems within 24 hours.
So, I heartily recommend Greenlee Plumbing to any of you who may require poly pipe replacement.
