I had them come out just for inspection. Advertised ***** inspection. Tech came out stated he could not do anything. Charged my elderly mother ******. And stated he would do work after electrician came out. We only wanted inspection. They accepted check from my 80 year old mother. Electrician came out stated electrical needed to be updated. Quoted ******. My mother 80 years old does not have money to get electrical updated. Took check for ****** did nothing. I made over 10 calls to manager. He was so rude to me. He didn't realize I had people listening while he was cussing at me and calling me inappropriate names. Also he stated he called me ..guess what i have cell phone records no calls. ******** has no calls from Beacon plumbing. I have worked with many companies, this is the worst...Marshawn advertises for you...my 80 year old mom loves the ******** has been fan for 20 years. She wanted to go with Beacon because of Marshawn. Left 10 plus vmails...no call backs...Talked to manager he always had excuse. Last conversation was we cannot get money back, we have a credit now. Credit for what?? my 80 year old mother has no way to do laundry, no money back. They said they were going to get shocked due to old electrical. Ok....why charge her? When will she ever use credit. Manager suggested to use generator or neighbor power... we accommodated had set up for him. Suddenly he said it was not safe. Ok give this lady back her money clearly you cannot help her. Bottom line worst case of elder abuse ever seen.....................My mom went to Beacon because of Marshawn.....Manager does not care. We have no recourse. No calls no Texts.. remember its all easy to get records....If you want a company to rip of old ladies ....Choose Beacon plumbing....they should be ashamed of themselves. SHAME ON BEACON PLUMBING.............ELDER ABUSEReview from Sheryl W

Definitely not recommending it. We asked them to help install two water filter systems and asked them to get a quote before we decide to start the work. They asked me to pay before starting the work, which was very weird, and insisted that they always do it in that way. Then they found that they can only install one as the other one didnt have an outlet to plug the water system in. They should have informed me during the quote, if they did it I wouldn't approve the quote! The plumber told me he would call their office to charge me back but I still saw my card charged for 2 installation! So I called them to get my charge back, the guy was arrogant and asked me to send him an email to kick off the process. Isnt this their problem? If they didnt charge me before starting the work I didnt need a charge back, plus its their job to do thorough estimate and inform me the 2nd one wouldnt work without outlets. Now they are asking me as the customer to send them copy of my email to get my money back! What a good service!Beacon Plumbing & Mechanical Inc Response

The customer supplied parts. ********************** bid that work per the customer's request.
The scope of work and the price of that work was discussed and approved in advance as shown on the contract with multiple signatures and initials.
The customer bought two units and did not have an electrical outlet to support the 2nd unit, so an option to add that 2nd unit was extended, and the customer decided not to proceed.
The customer called the office and was very combative when she was asked to send an email as required under the terms of the contract. The customer became hostile and refused to follow the contract terms.
Iy is nice that the customer is proud that they live in ****** what that has to do with anything is a little disturbing.
The customers husband called back, and the situation was addressed with no issues.

Beacon plumbing installed a new PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve)BACKWARDS. This caused me to have multiple water issues over the weekend to the point where most of my water fixtures were near unusable. Furthermore, I had to call for support more than FIVE separate occasions, because my appointments to fix the issues kept getting scheduled incorrectly, or seemingly outrightly ignored.It also took THREE separate visits to eventually fix the issue.Beacon Plumbing & Mechanical Inc Response

There were scheduling issues being the *** was put in on a Friday night.
Our Sr **** spoke with the customer Monday evening and a proper brand new *** was installed correctly and stated the issue had been addressed.

The guys (**** and ****) were great. They were quick to respond (even called to let me know they were on the way) and very attentive. They were professional and friendly. I will definitely use Beacon Plumbing in the future when I have a need.Beacon Plumbing & Mechanical Inc Response

Beacon Plumbing is a company you can rely on in an emergency! They relieve the stress of the problem & rectify it. I've called them out twice, and both times they were 100% professional, knowledgeable and timely. Beacon has an amazing team!! Don't hesitate to make them your first call. You'll be satisfied with their work.Beacon Plumbing & Mechanical Inc Response

I had them come out to fix a copper tuning for my ice maker. Two people arrived and after looking at my problem they had to go to their van for 10 minutes to provide an estimate. They came back with a $1400 solution and a $475 solution so I chose the least expensive because I had a rental house. I was shocked by the $475 but I was desperate because I had to be out of my rental by end of the day. They finished the job in 20 minutes and wanted me to pay the $475 (did not include the service fee). I expressed my disbelief that they were going to charge me that much for 20 minutes of work. e plumber explained that they have a lot of overhead in the truck and insurance.....blah blah. I told him it was robbery and so he said "what price should it be" I said more like $250 for such a simple job. He cut the price which was great but made me furious that you're not will to stand up to them they take advantage of you. Imagine the elderly who have been fleeced by this company. After sharing my experience with friends, I was told that this company is famous for this approach and that the plumbers get a commission which incentivizes them to charge ridiculous prices. I am lucky enough to have to means to pay for high prices but imagine those that do not. I cannot believe this business can stay in business with such unscrupulous business practices. I wish I would have had time to read all these similar bad reviews prior to calling them. There is a reason why they have a 1.95 out of 5.0 customer rating.Review from Lance B

I had a sewer line that needed to be cleared out (roots) which I discovered when water backed up. Beacon gave me a quote of $12,000 dollars which I initially agreed to in a panic. Later that same day (they had to schedule the work for a week later) I cancelled the job. THEY NEVER CAME OUT TO DO THE WORK AND YET THEY STILL CHARGED ME. Listen to everyone who writes a bad review about Beacon -- they are all true. Beacon is a rip off company that uses flashy ads to sell their dishonest work.Review from Br H

Start Freakin its Beacon. $1,464 to replace two outdoor faucets!! They will ***** you on pricing. They were on time and work was good. However just two hours to do the work, and prices for 2 faucets at the hardware store would have been $170. Expect labor to be over $600 per hour.Beacon Plumbing & Mechanical Inc Response

We are sorry that the customer is not happy with the work.
The customer was shown the price and scope of work in advance. Both were agreed to, and work commenced.
At the completion of the job the customer signed off that they were aware of the price they agreed to that price and the work was completed to their satisfaction.
Rating a 1 star for work that the customer stated was good and arrived on time seems a little unreasonable.
