I called over a week ago and they told the soonest will be today (Thursday). They did not show up. I call and the answering service tells me that we can't make it till next Monday afternoon. I thinkg that is very unprofessional!!!!

Carr & Langille is a reliable and honest company. I have dealt with them for many years in my own home and in the home of many of my clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them! They are the very best plumbing and heating company around Greater Portland!

The value just isn't there with this company. I had them replace a ceiling light/fan fixture in my bathroom. I bought the new fixture, I was charged $99.00 to come out which I knew about, and then I paid $169. to diagnose the problem, and then labor. The bill came to over $500 for less than an hour work. The fan still makes the same noise as the old one did, do clearly it wasn't diagnosed properly. I was also given the total cost of the job after they had the old ceiling fan out. It might have been good to know the price before they started. Live and learn. I will never use them again.

I was quoted an hourly rate,trip charge plus materials on the phone. We had a slight drip in our pipe in the bathroom ceiling. My husband had already removed the drywall. They used our old pipe and added a rubber grommet to fix the leak, the bill was over $500, not knowing what they quoted me my husband payed it. Upon arriving home he told me what they charged him, I immediately contacted the company. I spoke to a gentlemen (which was condescending and rude) on the phone thinking there was a mistake. He said there's a ""flat"" rate to fix a pipe no matter if it's 2 inches or 10 feet, so why wasn't I told this on the phone?? I explained to him what the lady from his company had told me about the hourly rate plus materials. He said there was no way anyone from the company would say that???? The repair man was at our home for less than an hour as well. Classical bate and switch preying on senior citizens!!! Watch out for this company!!!

Be forewarned, Pine State is an investor-owned company, and acts like it. I would never use them again for a project (mine was ~$12,500).
Well over $400 per hour for lead electrician and trainee; embedded in total cost estimate. Hour estimate calculated after subtracting supplies cost.
Pine State uses brief descriptions in contracts to reduce services actually provided (see below).
They did not do all the work discussed during the estimate. Rather, after electrician left job site, the company claimed that their brief description of work did not cover everything discussed during estimate visit. Also, Pine State office tacked on a diagnostic fee for the phone discussion of what was in the estimate.
We paid for estimate visit, then they did not reimburse (as promised) the cost of the estimate when Pine State electrician did the work.
They scheduled the work the same week that the electrician had a baby due. Then, replacement electrician refused to do work that was discussed during estimate visit, and only did what their office told them to do.

We had an awful experience with Pine State Services. We needed plumbing work done, moving a sink 7ft. The quote was high, but we needed it done immediately and they could do it the fastest. The hourly rate ended up being almost $400. Absurd! Then we had an inspection and there were two issues. The work was not up to code and they never pulled a permit. The supervisor blamed us for not asking for a permit and not telling them we wanted the work to code. Then he told us that to remedy the two issues, we would need to pay more for another visit. Never ever using this company again.

Pine State Services is a Service Experts company. After I posted my initial review, the customer service department of Service Experts connected me with the General Manager of Pine State Services who immediately credited me the full value of my expected rebate. I appreciate his follow up and willingness to honor the commitment made by his sales representative at the time of the initial sale.

The sales rep who visited told me my boiler ""hadn't been loved up enough"" and then tried to get me to LEASE a boiler for 20k.

I bought a new boiler from someone else for 8k.

When I see a Pines Services van on the road I snarl.

Not only did Pine State Services give me an astronomical price for 1/2 day of work (nearly $4,000 to install a bathtub), the guys who came to do the installation left BOTH bathrooms in my home absolutely disgusting. One guy used my downstairs bathroom (#2) and did not even have the courtesy to flush the toilet behind himself. There was also a ton of phlegm in my kids' bathroom sink that was just left there. I was just disgusted to find both messes and have to scrub them clean myself (yes, both required scrubbing). I really expect a higher level of respect for my home when hiring professionals to come in. Even my kids know better than this.

The guys also didn't even bother to hook up the bathtub train (which was explicitly included in the estimate's scope of work). But my husband finished the job because I will not be inviting Pine State Services back into my home ever again.

I could have overlooked being overcharged because in all fairness I did receive and agree to the estimate ahead of time. I just wanted the job done quickly and most other businesses are booked solid. Now I understand why Pine State Services' schedule was wide open. They've lost my business for good.
