I wish I could leave zero stars for their work because it took them a day and a half to show up and the plumber did no work. I called for non-emergency service on a Thursday morning and was happy to get scheduled for later that day at 4:00 PM. They stayed in touch(thank you) as they kept pushing my time back, and by 8:30 PM I told them to reschedule me. I was scheduled for 2:00PM the next day and finally at 7:00 PM a plumber arrived. I had a decent idea of what was wrong, explained the symptoms, and it was confirmed I needed a new pressure regulator valve. I had checked the price; $59.99 at The Big Tool Box, not bad. The plumber opened his thick book of various services and prices and gave me a price over $1,200.00!!! I asked him to leave. I can close two water supply valves, unscrew two nuts, apply thread putty, and put in the new $60 part. I did that with trips to the store in under two hours. I would have been happy to have a professional do the work for a reasonable price, but Applewood Plumbing tried to rob my family.
