Called them on a Monday for non working water heater. Technician came out within hours. He fixed thermocouple but discovered gas valve also needed to be replaced. Part not in stock so needed to be ordered. 2 days pass; I hear nothing. Call them to ask about a timeframe. Spoke with three different people and nobody knows what I’m talking about. What part??? Told they’d get back to me. Thursday I receive a text that a technician is on their way to my home. I’m at work but ask a friend to wait at my house for them. Friend contacts me after waiting 1 1/2 hours. No technician. Once again, I call

I have been using Jim & Dude's for 2 years. Call me a slow learner but it always been a 50-50 chance to have a smooth experience. I have had problems at all levels, scheduling, work done and invoicing.
Following my latest service call, I am done calling them, I will find someone else.
I called to have my sewer line cleared, run the camera in the line, a shut-off valve seal to be fixed (Jim and dude's installed it) and a second shut-off valve to be replaced. They gave me a week lead time which is fine.
A week later, I call back to have more info on when the technician will show up. They had no

Thank you for your quick response and continued effort to fix my central air. Extra rave to Dustin for going to extra mile and putting the wet towels that were soaking up the leak into the washer after he was done working. A small gesture like that showed great professionalism and care for the customer. Thank you!

Every person we dealt with from Jim & Dude's from estimating to install was so pleasant, courteous, and respectful. They patiently answered all our questions, and did a great job cleaning up when they were done. We will never use another company for our plumbing and heating needs. Oh, and the price was great!

We love Jim & Dude’s! We’ve used them since we moved into our home 5 years ago. We’ve never had to wait more than a day or 2 (usually 1) for an appt time. They’ve always installed or repaired effectively and efficiently. Plus, their representatives have always been SO helpful, friendly, and professional! I give them my highest recommendation.

After 30+ years of my family doing business with them, it was time for work on my home. A "2 day" project to replace my boiler took 7 working days to complete. The damage to my home and the mess left behind is so disappointing. Pictures being posted.
Also have a toilet that is leaking. The gentleman who came by twice is unable to figure it out. Rather than be straight forward about his unsuccessful attempt and bring someone to help him he proceeded to assure me, the home owner, that I must be seeing things wrong.
I have lived in this home for 8 months. When that toilet flushes, it drips. The
