W S Pickering & Son

Daniel M.

Doris Day and Rock Hudson appeared in several movies together. Pillow Talk is the movie that is the aspirational model for every romcom since. Doris Day sang Que Sera Sera in at least 3 movies. Did she ever sing this song in a movie in which Rock Hudson also appeared?

Question 2 Can anyone help me rewrite Que Sera Sera into an Italian aria for a baritone voice?

I'm way ahead of myself here. I called Pickering Plumbers everyday for the last 10 days. Day 3 I started humming QSS while waiting for them to return my call. Day 5 I sang it aloud. Day 7 I sang it through gritted teeth. Day 9 I went outside and faced the approximate direction of their shop on Main Street in Amherst. I believe more could be done. I would like to transpose QSS into an Italian aria for a baritone. Perhaps this will get their notice because 10 days of phone calls ain't done shit.

We had a very unique emergency situation with a leak from the incoming water main, so you could not shut it down. We called Pickering at the reccomendation of our electrician. At first their status was an appointment in 5 days, but when the electrician WDI called to explain the issue, Mr Pickering managed to get the town of Amherst out to locate and shut off the water from the street, and made the complete repair by 3pm. It was truly a tradesman miracle, at one point WDI Electric, Pickering and two great guys from the Town of Amherst all in the tiny basement working together. Can't say enough to thank Pickering Plumbing!

Honestly, we've used Pickering for decades -- always pleasant, prompt, and professional. Sorry someone else has had issues but everyone we know calls them.

They idle around trying to kill time so that they can overcharge you. I would never recommend them. They work by time and charge every 15 minutes after basic 30 minutes. They spend lots of time in the drive way and go back and forth to get the parts and waste time in order to go over one or two minutes to charge you for another 15 minutes.

They told me their main plumber was too busy to take my job, so they referred me to an associate plumber, Robert Fydenkevitz, who came out to my home and reviewed my project, saying he'd follow up with the Amherst town inspector, but never did, and now is not returning my calls. I called Pickering back, to inquire as to the status of either their referral plumber or to their taking my job when their main plumber has time, and I was told they no longer cared to help me with my project. Be wary of working with these people, or believing what they first tell you.

Terrific plumbing company; expert, pleasant and communicative staff. It is a pleasure to work with them

I've used them for 30 years and I have never been disappointed. If something is urgent they come quickly. It's a family-run business, absolutely reliable and honest. I have learned that I can trust them with big jobs and small ones. And when I'm out of the country and have visiting linguists living in my house, I have great peace of mind knowing that Pickering will take care of things perfectly. I'm now in Moscow, and they just did - that's why it has occurred to me to write a review just now. I didn't think the current problem (""whistling water pipes"") was urgent, but they came immediately and fixed it perfectly by changing something inside a toilet tank.

A solid operation. I've had them over twice and they've been prompt, knowledgable and reasonably priced. Picked them out of the yellow pages with no word-of-mouth recommendation and they turned out to be great.
