Enormous cost to fix a non-flushing toilet, only interested in upselling

What we thought was a 'family-oriented' company turned out to be something else. Priced ridiculously high, no acceptable quote. Only interested in up-selling! Insisted on going over everything in our home to 'suggest' upgrades and/or replacements. Nice tech, though. Fixed a non-flushing toilet for $500. Wow.

Awesome

Very professional, and very respectful with everything going on with Covid19. They came when they said they would, they found the issue, and gave us the solution. I would highly recommending using them.

Expensive and fail to fully disclose costs

Had a to call them out when my boiler failed on New Year's eve day...called in the morning and was told plumber would come out when he was done his first job. Was told labor rate on holiday was $220/hr for first hour plus $110/hr thereafter. Plumber spent 1 hour, diagnosed problem, billed me $220 PLUS a $140 CALLOUT fee...when I questioned the callout fee he said, "call head office". 3 days later, new plumber arrives with replacement part and a spare. He installs the part, breaks it, so he uses the spare up. Tells me it was not his problem that the part broke and that I would have to get it replaced myself. I said his job was to repair my boiler and leave me with a spare part. I told him he failed to leave me a working spare. I get a bill from him for $110 for one hour labor PLUS a $70 callout fee plus I paid for 2 parts although I only have one. I then questioned the callout fee...he said call the office. I spoke with Scott at Lilllie Family plumbing office and asked why I had to pay a $70 callout fee for scheduled work. He said, "our guy needs time to get the parts"..I said, I paid $110 for 15 minutes of work...the parts store is a 5 minute detour on the way to my house...surely it could have been included in the 1 hour. He said the GPS in the truck showed the plumber was at my house for nearly the full hour....I said, "your plumber told me his breaking the part was my problem so I went out and replaced the part myself. In the 19 minutes it took me to go from my house, replace the part and return, I found the plumber texting on his phone in front of my house while I was out replacing the part he broke so he could run up the billing on the repair. If these guys were honest, reputable and had one ounce of integrity, they would have billed me 1 hour for the last day of work...15 minutes to install part, allow 15 minutes of travel time from previous job and and 20 minutes to get the part..not $180. Additionally, when Lillie supplies parts, the cost is 20% higher than you can buy yourself as a retail buyer at a plumbing store...Lillie made an additional $56 on inflating the price of the parts they installed (you would think that markup would over travel time) notwithstanding they broke one of the parts and washed their hands of it. I have 3 calls in to Scott at Lillie Family plumbing and heating...all I get is, I need to look into it, I will call you back. Take your business elsewhere people.

Boiler repairs

1st repair - no heat - came 3 times & charged us for 3 "cleanings" but could not find the problem. On the 4th visit, after refusing to pay for more "cleaning" & a call to the boss, the problem was found & fixed.
2nd repair - only ones available to come for Emergency repair for no heat. Diagnosed, parts ordered & installed & heat on. BUT...Now it won't turn off!! And they want to charge us again for another call! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME or MONEY using them. We're now looking for someone to fix Lillie Family's "repair"!

Heating system service

The heating system worked fine. I asked them to do a regular annual service. Unfortunately after the service the boiler stoped working. I had to call the the second time. They charged me the same rate for the second visit. I ended up with the double cost for a regular service.

boiler repairing

This company is old, old not mean experience. New technics requires smart technician. My repair last almost 2 weeks, changed 3 very expensive parts, total costs about $5000(exactly as my replace the boiler cost) but the boiler still no working. At last, I have to ask other company to replace with a new SAME BRAND name Viessmann Boiler. I got a good lesson.

Boiler

Delay after delay, excuse after excuse. Manager would not return calls. Multiple technicians.
They charged me for a 3rd site visit to fix their mistake. Had to dispute portion of charges with credit card company. Would not use again.

Leaking heating system

Called to have our heating system checked as it was leaking and the domestic water temp was fluctuating. Called Friday and Jessie was sent out on Monday he was professional and on time fixed everything suggested that we have some one in to service it more regularly. We were very pleased with the service we received from Jessie and would not hesitate to recommend Lillie plumbing to our friends.

Hot water boiler system servicing and replacement of zone solenoids.

Zone solenoids needed replacing as well as a servicing and air bleed for the entire system. Darren not only did a great job but cleaned up some unneeded connections and piping.
looks much better and works just fine.
He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the system.
Answered all my questions with a enthusiastic attitude.
Even came back on a separate call and replaced a main water inlet valve that was leaking. Very tricky install but was done smart and clean.
Highly recommend these guys.
