I contacted J.Mills Plumbing because the alert on my sump pump was going off. They were able to get to my house within 24 hours and diagnose the issue quickly. The new sump was installed same day. The entire experience was great and I will contact them in the future when something else inevitably fails.
Ejector grinder pump Repair. Let me tell you. For me to write a review, it had to be a really good experience or a really bad one. Joseph from J-Mills Plumbing was the guy the assigned to do our repair. He communicated with us via text on his arrival window and even let us know when he was in route to our home. From the moment he arrived I knew we were in good hands. HIGHLY respectful of our home. From asking if we wanted him to enter through the walkout or front door (we were in middle of remodeling). He wore booties & was very organized with the handling our removing a nasty, sewer smelling pump from our home. Not a drop of waste hit the floor. He came prepared with a garbage can lined with a heavy leak proof bag. Clearly he was 100% mindful of our home. Then, Joseph sealed the lid with silicone when he was done, something the prior installer did not do. And the cherry on top was when he noticed one of the PVC pipes was loose coming out of the pit, so he used pipe strapping to secure it to a stud. This attachment made all the difference in the world to quiet the cycle down as it used to bang against the wall when the pump shut off. It used to be so loud that I could not shower in the basement when my family was sleeping because it would wake them up. Joseph fixed that & didnt even have to. When he tested the unit after the repair I couldnt believe how quiet it was. So happy. Joseph was also the most professional, nicest guy you will ever meet. Just a great experience all around with him & J-Mills Plumbing.
Friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. We have used J Mills Plumbing a few times now and each call has been a great experience. Even the initial call to set up the appointment is followed up within 30 minutes providing a date and window, sometimes on the same day. Each plumber weve had is very efficient, friendly, and tidy. Its a good feeling knowing we know a plumbing service we can count on in the future. Highly recommended.
Probably the best company out there. Very responsive in all communication. The guy that performed the work (Luke) was friendly, kept me in the loop with everything that he was doing, and just overall a great person. Definitely found a plumbing company to do any work at the house.
We have been working with J.Mills and there team for around 3 years. I have sent them some tough jobs and they are always ready to help. We have worked together on New construction, Bath remodels, water treatment systems and water heaters. Im always impressed with there professional approach to the business. Nothing but good things to say!!Thanks for all your support and patience.Chris AllenConstruction DirectorLivingston Habitat for Humanity
The reason for my 4 star review is related to pricing. My research found that the tests themselves are not very expensive, I believe the cost of the panels I need for my refinance are about $100.Because a third-party party draw and drop-off is required I called several different well companies and J. Mills. J. Mills was the least expensive, but the up charge is considerable in my opinion based on the technical expertise required for this task.An itemized break down of what the panels cost and the amount paid in labor would have been helpful I think, but still not changed my review.Additionally as of today 1/5/2022 I have not received conformation that the lab received my samples drawn 1/3/2022. I do realize that there was a significant death that impacted the company so I understand the delay, but a refinance does have a time requirement imposed due to interest rate locks.I would also like to add that J.Mills replaced my water softener in October and I am 100% satisfied with the product and pricing.Edit: 3/22/2022There was an issue with the underwriter on the loan not liking the amount of testing that was done, J. Mills stepped up and created a new report limited to the scope that was requested by the underwriter. Additionally J. Mills offered to work with me if the underwriter demanded a new draw and test, thankfully that did not happen.Sometimes, paying a premium for a reputable company to provide a service has value that is not measured in $$.Thank you J. Mills for helping with this refinance!
I have used J. Mills plumbing for several projects in my home. The latest was a repair for a leaking fitting near my pressure tank. Luke was the technician that explained the problem very thoroughly. He was very knowledgeable and professional as was the other technicians I’ve worked with. Service was fast, professional, and prompt. I wouldn’t use anyone else for my plumbing needs.
Like a knight in shining armor, an after 5:00pm plumbing leak was discovered in my apartment building. It was flowing water, and since there were tenant families living there, shutting off the water and waiting for business hours wasn’t an option. No one else was available or willing to come out except J.Mills Plumbing. I called for a emergency service. Spoke with Jay who tried to find one of their plumbers to assist. They were all busy so Jay personally came out, basically immediately. I was so thankful because he saved us. The flooding was stopped and new pipe was installed. Come summer we will have them back out when it’s not an emergency and have them replace some of the older plumbing to ensure this never happens again! Great job and as my wife says, they are our permanent plumbers to call.
I always use J Mills for all my plumbing needs! They just put in a new well tank today. They are very informative, not pushy at all and very competitive pricing. They quoted the replacement yesterday and was out the next morning. Made sure I understood everything, checked for leaks, and was very friendly and quick! Love working with J Mill and highly recommend for any plumbing need. Very relieved to have a new tank!
My wife and I own a very busy beauty salon and spa in Brighton, we have 5 shampoo bowls and the busier we get, the more hot water we need. On some of our busiest days, we could run out of hot water in a few hours then have to wait for the water heater to catch up. Obviously, this doesnt lead to a very positive experience for our clients so we had a much larger tank installed by another plumber last April. It quickly became apparent that this new unit wasnt going to cut it either so instead of throwing more good money after bad, we called J. Mills Plumbing.Joe came out right away and had a quote for me that evening. They came highly recommended and now that Ive seen their work in person, I can understand why. These gentlemen are masters of their craft, they were very up-front about recommendations and pricing - very clear and responsive feedback which I appreciate as a business owner. Since were only closed on Sundays, Joe and John shifted their schedules to accommodate us that same week, coming in at 7am on a Sunday and staying until it was done!They removed the recently installed unit and installed a Rannai Sensei tankless water heater that cranks out 8 GPM - more than enough hot water for us. They also installed a circulation system so now we get our hot water much faster. Not only that, they cleaned up a bunch of shoddy work done by other contractors that we hired over 12 years in business - without us even asking - wow. I cant say enough good things about these guys - so many companies these days do the absolute bare minimum and it was VERY refreshing to be treated like our business mattered to them. Ill tell everyone I know who to call when they need a plumber. Thanks Joe and John!
Flynn was super professional and figured out the problem very quickly and made all the repairs and new installation of the outside water faucet with the new inside shut off valve for that faucet. Bright guy who knew what he was doing and took care of everything in a prompt timeframe that was much appreciated! Definitely recommend Flynn and J. Mills Plumbing to other people who need a good plumber!
Flynn came to check a sewage smell in our basement. He was able to detect and fix it right away .He was very kind and went above and beyond and even explained a few things with me in detail .I would recommend mills plumbing and will use them with any future issues we may have.
2022- Review update: I’ll never use them again!! I had an appointment for them to quote additional work at my home. However, today I waited for 5hrs and no one showed. I called the office and left a pleasant voicemail. Joe returned my call quickly stating he had called me multiple times. I had my phone in my hand literally the entire time. While on the phone I double check my incoming calls, text, and voicemails all showed nothing from them. When I suggested that they check their records. After a little back-and-forth he stated “do you want me to come out today or not”. The answer is NEVER the TRUST is broken. In addition, he later sent a break up text, calling me rude (which I was not) and an image of a call log which showed he did call three numbers (2 mine) ALL at the SAME time, 8:15am. None of which rang my line, No voicemail, no text arrival data as in the past. I sent my call log to him showing no incoming calls. Maybe technology failed us both but he could/should have handled this in a much more professional manner. This is why I’ve decided to change my review.2021-Previous service:The team at J. Mills Plumbing is great! This is our second time using their services. Both times they have been very professional, honest, great communication (love the text updates), respectful and they replaced our copper and cast iron drain pipe quickly!! We are very happy to have found a local reliable plumber! Thanks guys!
Be very careful when calling this company for a problem. Will charge 89.00 fee if used or not. Called for a small gas leak in basement. Last year same leak to fix was quoted at 150.00. Today the price was almost 900.00 to fix same leak for estimated 2 hours of work. Refused to have work done when felt being price gouged due to a gas leak that gas company said not an emergency. Always thought this company was reliable and honest, but now not certain. As a follow-up called Consumers Gas after plumber left to inquire about who could fix. They sent a tech out within 1 hour who fixed leak in about 45 minutes at no charge.As a follow up following further discussion thru email I was contacted by J. Mills who called and was sorry for the above. Refunded the 89.00 and wished us a Merry Christmas. I do believe this was all due to some misunderstanding as have used this company in past without issues.
Easily a 5 star experience with this company.My hot water heater died. I called and talked to Charles who was an absolute gentleman and and got me a quote before I committed. He even arranged same day service.The technicians who came to my house, Paul and Luke, were great people. On time, quick, efficient, and cleaned up the tiny mess created while they worked. The work looks excellent and they spent extra time getting the piping look right. Id have a beer with either of these guys.The invoice was exactly what was quoted. No attempts at upselling or nickel and diming.
Emergency call on a Saturday for water leak. Arrived within the time window given. Repair was done promptly.Lucas was professional, polite and answered all of my questions. He was very careful with cleanup before leaving.I will be using J Mills Plumbing in the near future to update my aging plumbing to avoid future emergencies.I highly recommend J Mills for your plumbing concerns !!Judy Dancer10/28/2021J Mills returned today to update aging plumbing, install new sink and faucet. During that time Luke thought he could smell gas and sure enough he found a leak and repaired that also (life saving!)As usual professional, polite and very neat.My sincere thanks to Luke, Brandon and Flynn.J Mill is the best.Highly recommend their services!Judy Dancer
I sent a message through the chat and they called immediately. It was a pleasant surprise when it turned out to be a familiar voice! They scheduled me ASAP. Luke from J. Mills Plumbing arrived today (professional, friendly, and skilled) promptly with texts & email notifications in advance. He was knowledgeable, super friendly, explained the issue(s) in an understandable manner, & let me know what the estimated costs were along the way. We are thankful for their service & their prices are reasonable. This is definitely who you need to call for any & all of your plumbing issues!
Excellent service! Contacted them & in 24 hours had a resolved problem.New water heater & everything brought up to code! No other company in the area I contacted could assist that quickly.From my initial call to inquire about the services to the team that arrived.Luke and the team were AMAZING! Friendly, skilled, respectful, knowledgeable, honest, and highly efficient. The work was performed on the same afternoon as the problem was diagnosed. Certainly eliminating my concerns for a potential bigger problem. I was able to successfully continue my work from home, during the time they were performing the work. J Mills team far exceeded my expectations! Highly recommend!
Edited to add:-The technician was at my home for just under 1.5 hours, NOT 2.5. This is evidenced by his arrival time of 8 am and electronic receipt of invoice at 9:29 am-NO parts/products were provided. Yes, general costs are always increasing, however, the amount your company charged are well beyond reasonable as reinforced by other reputable plumbing competitors in the area.-NO attempts were made by the company to discuss or address the concerns listed despite a previous phone call and direct email.Clearly, I am not the only one who has experienced this with regards to your company and my review was an effort to provide a warning to others to be prepared for a lack of transparency in invoicing and and to perhaps seek a second opinion on costs prior to agreeing to having ANYthing done by J. Mills.————————————I had used J.Mills in the past and was happy with my previous experience which is what led me to call on them with my most recent concern, however, it seems something has changed in the last couple of years and I no longer feel I can recommend them due to similar concerns mentioned in other reviews regarding vague and exorbitant billing concerns.Yesterday, I requested a service call to check my hot water heater—in particular, the T&P valve they replaced just under two years ago. Since I had this repair made before, I was not unfamiliar with it and was shocked when I was quoted $329 to replace it this time. When I inquired as to why it had jumped so significantly, I was given a generic explanation that it was due to “inflation and rising part costs”. I declined the service at this time and opted to monitor it (simultaneously deciding to get a second opinion).However, while he was here, I asked the technician if he could help get the pre-filter casing for my water softener system unscrewed as it was on pretty tight this last time and I was concerned about breaking it. I did not need the filter changed as I already had one on hand and was able to do it myself, I simply could not get the casing open. Despite mentioning upcharges if he broke it (or the surrounding pipes) in the course of trying, at no time did he share that I would be charged $119 for him attempting to unscrew it. He was able to get it unscrewed and then placed the filter (that I already had in my possession, purchased elsewhere) without my requesting him to do so. Fast forward to the end of the call and I was charged $119 and told that was standard for a “water filter replacement”. This, on top of the $89 service call and an over $20 charge to tighten a valve that he claimed was “a little loose”. While I anticipated more than the $89 service call fee when all was said and done, I was shocked when I was provided a vague invoice for well over $200, especially when no repairs were made or parts provided and the majority of the call involved him looking at my home’s plumbing with a flashlight (I have a simple set up-a ranch home with one bathroom, one kitchen sink and two exterior hose bibs, for reference).I followed up with another local plumber immediately following the service call and then a third later in the day to inquire about the services provided. For the T&P valve repair, both quoted similar amounts to each other with both ending up nearly $200 less than what I was quoted by J. Mills (both sharing that the part itself, the valve, was no more than $30 and that it was a quick repair for an experienced plumber). Also, regarding the water filter casing, both claimed it would have likely been no additional cost since I already had the filter on hand and given that their service calls include the first half hour of work.Therefore, while I am disappointed in this experience, I am grateful to have found two other resources in the area that come highly recommended from neighbors and seemingly more transparent with honest pricing. Had I not had this same repair made in the past, I would have had nothing with which to compare it to and perhaps less of a reason to seek either of the other area plumbers out for future plumbing needs.
We needed a professional to look at various plumbing concerns we had in our home to find out if they were in fact issues that needed to be addressed. He was extremely professional, detailed and informative. He took his time to educate us and was honest about what we did and did not need. Furthermore he did not perform or encourage unneeded services. I would highly recommend J.Mills Plumbing if you want a knowledgeable and honest company!
I had recently moved into my home and the sump pump failed after the strong rains. J Mills was responsive in coming out and replacing the pump. Brandon was very knowledgeable and efficient in getting it done in a confined space. He was very neat and left the area cleaner than when he arrived. He also educated me on the pump and the way it was configured so I was better informed of the process. As they are a full service plumbing company, I will call on them in the future for all my plumbing needs.
The gentlemen from J Mills plumbing were absolutely phenomenal! Huge shout out to Brandon who tackled my difficult project with ease! It was a huge project (updating my 30 year old water system, water heater, softener, iron removal, and a surprise replacement of my pressure tank after a rust spot the size of a quarter gave up and started gushing water!) and a small space to tackle it all in. He was polite, kind, upbeat even though he had a VERY long day, left my house so clean you would have never know he was there and still somehow managed to get it all done in 1 day. I can not recommend these guys enough, and they have certainly earned a customer for life!
Have used them for a few projects around my house. Overall they have done good work. Docking a star because on my latest project, a complete master bath renovation, there was a “miscommunication” that is being left for me to fix and I was hoping for some better customer service and a better attempt to try to make it right given the cost of the project. However I am trying to not let one bad thing outweigh the multiple good things they have done and am willing to give them another opportunity for my future business.
The guys that came out including the owner were extremely nice kind and kept me involved in every detail that they were working on. They had a large outdoor job to do never complained, need this so did a great job. I would recommend them to anyone. They also have referrals for other jobs as well. Thank you so much for coming to my house and doing such a great job
Had Brandon and his colleague out to install a water-powered sump-jet back-up device. They were every bit as professional, courteous, informative, and polite as the J. Mills reviews indicated. Im not usually compelled to author online reviews (who has the time?), but I feel that others who need plumbing service could very much benefit from knowing the superiority of the service J. Mills provides.
Investigated suspected sump pump failure and found the trip lever jammed. I told them to replace the sump pump it being close to 20 years old. Thier work was impeccable, fast and the service man was courteous and informative. Plus these people respect and love The Lord.
Old tank-style water heater finally died. We decided to have J. Mills install a new tankless, on-demand natural gas water heater. Joe quoted the system and made sure everything was done on time, on budget and exceeded our expectations. Brandon did an outstanding job with the install, now we have a modern, energy efficient system with unlimited hot water.Thank you J. Mills Plumbing!
We called J Mills to come out when our hot water tank started leaking. We wanted to upgrade to a tank less water heater, so when we called them, we made a appointment for the same day we called. Brandon was able to come out earlier to evaluate our request for a new tank less heater. Brandon and Joe where able to remove the old tank and prep the area for the new installation that same day. We did have to wait 1 day because they had a previous job scheduled for the next day. But they arrived on time, and completed the job by 4pm that same day. Brandon also had a fellow co-worker, a apprentice plumber, install a new faucet we needed to have installed. The price was about what we thought it was going to cost because they installed a Rinnai tank less water heater. Its 95% more efficient that our old water heater, and a 15 year warranty. Thank you guys for a job well done.
It’s hard to find a honest and reliable contractor, J. Mills plumbing is both of those things. I’ve been in commercial restaurant and construction for over 30 years and I know when a contractor is genuine and when they just want my money. These guys will get all of my business now. I wanted to have a service done at my home but once on site they determined it wasn’t needed saving me hundreds of dollars. THEY saved me hundreds of dollars just by being honest. Now I’ll give them the service work that I was going to farm out to other contractors later. If you need a company you can trust, call J. Mills.
Brandon & Flynn from J. Mills Plumbing were OUTSTANDING, professional & very courteous earlier today. They were patient as I explained what our situation was prior to their arrival; from there, Brandon laid out a few possible solutions to our issue with an extremely fair price. They did a beautiful job with the laundry room & my wife Julie is especially pleased with how the hoses are all aligned & how the room looks now. We thank you again, J. Mills- much appreciated from Fowlerville!
Our water heater went out on us and Charles was helpful right from the initial phone call. He was able to work me into their schedule and get me taken care of much faster then originally planned. Alex came for the install and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained features on our new water heater, and answered every question I had. He was very respectful and efficient. I highly recommend J. Mills Plumbing and will definitely use them again in the future.
This is the second time weve done business with J. Mills Plumbing and we couldnt be happier. Our water heater was definitely on the brink and needed to be replaced. Everything from quoting the price to scheduling the service to the completion of installation was seamless. I highly recommend J. Mills for any plumbing needs. Brandon and Luke were extremely efficient and friendly!
Charles and Joe were awesome in quoting and setting up my well pressure tank replacement. I appreciated the fact they were willing to give me an afternoon appointment. Alex and Luke were very professional, and got the tank replaced in a very timely manner. Everyone was polite and professional. I will definitely look to J. Mills Plumbing if I need future plumbing services. Thank you to the entire team!
We recommend J. Mills Plumbing 100%! Brandon and Luke were knowledgeable, professional, and polite. They arrived as scheduled and completed the installation of a new water softener quickly and efficiently. Because I sometimes dont remember every detail as I should, Luke allowed me to record the steps to change the filter so I dont have problems in the future. Thank you for amazing customer service!
These guys are just flat out GREAT! Brandon was out to check and service the sump pump unit. He diagnosed the problem, replaced and repaired the faulty parts and has the whole system working perfectly.This is a business that prides itself on customer service and Christian values. Ive been a customer for several years and will continue to be one. Every employee is professional, polite, courteous and efficient. So glad I was referred to them. I highly recommend J Mills Plumbing.
We used J. Milling to have our shower repaired. My husband was astonished about the excellent service and professionalism of this team. Brandon was outstanding in taking care of our needs and giving us recommendations for future maintenance of our home. Thank you so much!
My husband and I read reviews online for a reliable plumber and J. Mills did not disappoint. They were professional, very responsive, and they know their stuff! We used them three times already to cap gas lines, install a new water heater, and install a new well tank with new piping since we have moved into our new home. Alex was our technician all three times and was very professional, followed covid protocol and was very efficient! We know we are in good hands and happy that we called them!!
J.Mills was nothing short of incredible this morning when we were surprised by a broken sump pump in a newly purchased home. Luke and Flynn were so timely and helpful. Charles, their dispatcher even prayed over the health of a friend of ours. He moved us to tears. 20/10 recommend this company!
This companys customer service, work ethics, and staff are OUTSTANDING!! When I had questions regrading the project (while in process) they explained everything. They did an AMAZING job from startup to completion. I was thankful I found this company. I would highly recommend them to everyone!!
I’m sure it was an easy fix on their part, they were only in my house for 15 minutes. But they fixed my problem and couldn’t have been more professional. I never bring up my military service for a discount anywhere, but they noticed my military clothing in my house and gave me a discount. Great company, great people, will definitely do business with them again
All employees very respectful and professional. Show up on time ready to work. On the expensive side, invoices did not show all work performed and or why the final bill was almost 2 1/2 times the estimate. Make sure they get your approval prior to doing more work and let you know how much more it will cost.
They were prompt in getting me on the schedule, which I really needed and appreciated. Alex was quick and clean to resolve the issue (replace shut off valve under the kitchen sink so I could finish with a dishwasher install.) Price was a bit more than I expected for such a quick repair- BUT the fact that they squeezed us in was worth it. I would not hesitate to call them again in the future.
Very friendly and professional group. Provide thorough walkthrough of the job and preventative maintenance measures needed. Pricing seems very fair (in fairness, I’ve never had plumbing issues before so not sure what to comp the work to). Happy to recommend them to anyone
J. Mills Plumbing is an exceptional business. Even when they are extremely busy, they let you know, you are their first priority as a customer. Dependable, knowledgeable, courteous. Lines of communication are always open for any concerns. They are diligent in their work.
J. Mills Plumbing is a business that I would highly recommend. They were on time, where honest, installed my water heater and left the area clean and tidy. When I had a problem with what I thought was low water pressure, one of the owners said that he would come out and see what the problem was..........and that was on Christmas Day!! It turned out that it was simply the filter on my kitchen sink that was clogged and I was able to unscrew it and clean it out. They are a fine family business and I would recommend them with enthusiasm. It was a pleasure dealing with them.
Our place needed a whole new sewer line and all new pipes in the basement. It was a huge undertaking. They were amazing total masters of their craft it was kind of amazing watching them go at such a job! Through it all they kept me informed and their were no surprises which is always nice. Very professional. I will recommend them without a doubt to my family and friends.
My first encounter with this company was during the beginning of covid 19 when I found them online. I called them to get a second opinion on work I had recently done by another company. When Brandon left my home, I knew the information that was given to me was honest and straight forward with his findings. He wasn’t trying to tell me something he thought I wanted to hear in order to sell me his service. He was honest and that is something you don’t find in these types of companies now a days. So when it was time to make a decision I called J Mills to let them know I was giving them my business and purchased a water softener from them! The very next day Paul was here to install my water softener with a smile. After installation, he made sure to explain the functionality of the softener itself and the tests he ran. I recently had a gas line emergency and I automatically knew who I was calling J Mills Pluming!!! Alex, Luke, and Brandon to the rescue!! They took their time to try and figure out the best way to help my situation. Once a decision wasmade and we were set to roll, these 3 men got right down to business and got the job done! These men truly care and go above and beyond for their customers! I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Brandon, Paul, Alex, Luke, John and the rest of J Mills Pluming! God Bless!
Alex was fantastic! He was on time, professional and friendly, patient with my questions, and thorough with the (multiple) jobs done. He made some other helpful and cost-saving recommendations, which are always very much needed and appreciated. They have a customer for life:) Can’t thank you enough!
Everyone has been wonderful. I spoke with Charles on the phone, and John talked to me about the issue I was having. Today Paul came out, investigated the drain vent issue and recommended the action needed. Everyone has been courteous, kind, and patient. They were recommended to me, and I have recommended them to others. Im very happy to have them to call for my plumbing needs.
Very impressed with J. Mills Plumbing so Im taking the time to write my first ever review. Our 2003 Water heater developed a leak and was in need of replacement. Joe Mills was super responsive and had us scheduled but because they were very busy it would not be for two days. He advised if an opening developed they would call and come sooner, which is exactly what happened. Paul came out and did an excellent job. He was very professional, answered my questions and explained the changes made to piping and ventilation. I will definitely recommend J. Mills Plumbing to friends and family.
This was our best experience working with a local contractor. I will be recommending this company to all my friends, family and for all my future needs. Very very very professional and a outstanding plumber that showed up to do our work. He went beyond our expectations with the installation clean up and review of the scope of work with me and my wife. They know the meaning of Happy Wife Happy Life. Thank you
Alex was my technician every time out during the process of getting my water softener replaced and installed. He was always polite and professional and got the job done quickly. Everyone I spoke with at J Mills was great. Will be using them for all my future plumbing needs.
I had the BEST experience with John, Joe and the whole J. Mills Plumbing team. From beginning to end as the replaced my sewer they gave me step by step details to ease my fears. I couldn’t ask for a better crew to take care of my needs. Professional, punctual, caring, true to their word with pricing and everything they did. I HIGHLY recommend them and they will be my plumbers forever more. Thank you J. Mills team!
I had an issue with the recent power outage- using J Mills in the last, I called first thing in the morning and they were out within an hour. When he answered the phone “I was part of the family.” All I can say, is between Paul and Joe- they were both so kind and caring, when it was a stressful time for me. Thank you- I will recommend them anytime/anywhere.
Paul called before he came, and was a pleasure to have in our home from the start! He was kind and courteous, and explained everything he was going to do. He gave me an estimate, and then knocked $10 off! He was very quick and efficient, and fixed our problem in under 30 minutes. I had a couple of other plumbing questions, and he did not hesitate to answer them. I spoke with Joe on the phone when scheduling the appointment, and he was excellent as well. I will never go with anyone else! Trustworthy, honest... Choose J. Mills Plumbing! You wont be disappointed!
We have used J. Mills Plumbing three times in the past three years, and will never use ANYONE else! They replaced our hot water tank, replaced all our basement cast iron pipes and three toilets, and installed a RO drinking water system, and old bladder storage tank. I recommended them to four of our friends, and they were equally as happy as we are. Fast response, great work and pricing! Great family business, and very pleasant to deal with. Try them and you will be as thrilled.
J Mills was quick to get someone here. There was a hiccup sense I rent. They had just left and returned right away Paul explained everything before he started. He explained the charges right up front which I appreciate. Every one from the office till the end repair was very helpful. If you have a need for a plumber please give them a call. You want regret it.
We had (have) the sulfur smell from hot water heater…installed by others. Contacted Mills based on recommendation by friend. Sold me a pre filter, which helped, but certainly did not eliminate. I also had them install an expensive reverse osmosis at sink. Scheduled them to come back, because rotten egg smell was still bad. Showed up at completely different time than scheduled. Told me they would have to come back and flush hot water tank and that they would have scheduler contact me for appointment. Never contacted.
Had another great experience today with Lukas, very friendly and knowledgeable and came out immediately. If your in the area, j mills is the way to go for any plumbing needs.Cant thank you guys enough! Came out same day to install a new sump pump and Lukas did a fantastic job!Paul did an awesome job and was very friendly. I will definitely be going through j mills plumbing again for any future needs.
J Mills has done extensive work in a home I just bought. They are very professional and explain everything very clearly so you can make an informed decision. I have never felt pressured to have any work done. Being a single female, I am very comfortable with all the staff and never feel like they are taking advantage of me. The owners even stopped by to introduce themselves to me. The work has all been done top notch and they stand behind it all with warranty coverage. I will call them for all my plumbing needs!!!
Expensive and dishonest. They wanted to overcharge me for toilet repair, but thats their prerogative. What I didnt appreciate is the convoluted communication and the accusation that we yelled and swore at them and thats somehow why we misunderstood the quote. I promise you nobody even raised their voice. Now Im trying to replace the prefilter on my water softener, which they inspected while they were here, but he screwed it on so tight I might break the pipes trying to get it off. They say they didnt touch the filter, though they have record of inspecting the system and making recommendations about it. Too bad they dont want to take any responsibility. I wouldnt have bothered to review them just for overcharging.
Joe and John and their incredible team have done multiple jobs at our house and we are incredibly happy customers. We HIGHLY recommend them to anyone having water issues. They are professional, timely, accurate and they get the job done BEFORE they leave. They almost always have the parts in their van to keep them from leaving the job site and returning later. They keep our house clean while they work, they are very friendly around kids, they dont use poor language or leave my house smelling like smoke. I will continue to use J. Mills Plumbing and would absolutely put my name on their services.
Can’t say enough great things about this family owned company. They have my business for life. Came out next day to install new water heater. Excellent work and outstanding service.Hired one week later to install toilet that a big box sub contractor said couldn’t happen without major plumbing work. Brandon came and did the job no issues and remind you with no major plumbing rework. He new what to do.
Called J Mills plumbing in despair early Monday morning having no hot water, a wet basement floor, and a Cold showered wife. Alex returned my call promptly and listened to my situation and need of a timely solution. Tech Paul contacted me shortly afterward via text and phone call with ETA and showed up timely and ready to go. He was very pleasant to deal with and knowledgeable of the task at hand. After some prep work on removal of the old tank, he went and picked up a new tank to install. While he was installing it I had to leave for an appointment and left him in the hands of the now cooled down wife. He completed the install by time I returned and now have hot water and a happy wife. I highly recommend the J Mills team for work well done. Bill, Howell
J.Mills Plumbing is by far the BEST plumbing company I have ever worked with, and I be calling them for all of my future plumbing issues. J. Mills replaced my main sewer line and water line. It was a complicated job. John came up with a creative and cost effective solution. John, Joe and the team worked really hard from beginning to end to troubleshoot each complication and to also avoid additional costs (i.e., they took the difficult route for them to save us from having to replace concrete). They literally saved us thousands of dollars. I am beyond grateful. The communication throughout was also excellent. It was a stressful situation and John and Joe kept me (and my husband) updated and informed. I honestly cant say enough about the quality and service we received. Thank you, John, Joe and the rest of the J.Mills Plumbing team!
Our sewage ejector pump died on Mother’s Day of course!!! I called the office for service and they sent me Paul first Monday morning. Paul was excellent in diagnosing our issue, recommending the replacement of our pump and scheduling the installation. Top notch customer service and installation! I would highly recommend J.Mills Plumbing with 👍👍 up! Special thanks to Paul for doing an outstanding job!!
We had J Mills our to do some work on leaking pipes. Paul showed up within the time frame we were told and fixed our issue in literally a few minutes. We appreciate the professionalism and the price. Highly recommend J Mills to anyone who needs a quality and reasonable plumber! Thanks again!
We had an emergency where a pipe broke and our water was flooding our basement. I called J Mills and they sent someone out. Joe arrived very fast and got right to work. He stopped the flooding and replaced the broken pipe. Very quick service, very friendly and saved our home. Highly recommend.
Excellent customer service. I had an emergency plumbing issue come up about a year ago. I didnt end up doing service with J.Mills at that time, but the good discussion I had stuck with me. Fast forward to today, I had another plumbing issue in a house that is sold and has buyers inspection on Sunday. Other plumbers I called laughed when I requested fast service due to back-ups from COVID. J.Mills had someone at my house within 2 hours. Their friendly and effective service included showing a novice homeowner an easy fix instead of taking advantage and charging for unnecessary parts and labor. And I need to highlight their use of technology with text messages and emails to confirm appointment scheduling, technician en route, technician arrival, etc. Completely different than other plumbers in this area. They will be mine going forward!
First class, honest, professional, punctual, informative and excellent value and service! I recently had a new sewer and water line installed and was so impressed...I chose J.Mills plumbing to install a water conditioning system and other work within my residence.I commend Joe, John and Alex for their commitment to put the customers best interest first as well!Thank YOU!
Called Monday AM about a leaking water heater. Gentlemen was extremely polite and professional. Asked when I needed the work done and I said”yesterday!” He offered 12 noon until 4pm as a slot which was fine with me. Paul arrived at 230pm introduced himself,masked and put on gloves. All the time he explained what he was doing and clearly knows his trade. As he was finishing up, he asked if we needed anything else. I did not want to delay him but I did ask if he could look at them. Absolutely he saidNow the water heater and the toilets are all fixed. Will definitely use this service againHighest recommendation same day service when I really needed it.
These 2 guys are a breath of fresh air!! Love to see young men going out there and running their own company - providing quality products and services!! We had a leaky pipe close to where the main line comes into the house. It was a holiday and they still answered their phone!! They sincerely care about you as a customer. They guarantee and back up their work. I would highly recommend them. It is hard to find contractors that care about the customer, have good communication and do quality work. These guys are the REAL deal!! God bless you J Mills Plumbing! Thank you for your service and work today. You did an amazing job.
J Mills responded promptly to my inquiry after the weekend. Paul, the technician, was very courteous, calling to let me know he was on his way. He was very professional and personable. He was very efficient and prepared for the job at hand. We will be using J. Mills Plumbing for any future plumbing needs.
I have and will continue to highly recommend J. Mills Plumbing to anyone who is looking for honest and quality plumbing services. They have helped me and my family with several plumbing projects now and I could not be happier. They are honest, friendly and hard working people who complete the task quickly and correctly, while going above and beyond for for their customers. Not only is their work fantastic, but the customer service they provide during the process is of the highest quality! Give them an call and you won’t be disappointed!
Paul was very polite, nice , easy going, WE WOULD really appreciate and highly recommend him with your company to anymore work at our house next time, and would recommend your company for any plumbing needs. He was well mannered, friendly , and hes our plumber next time. Thanks also for supporting our veterans.
I recently had two had two plumbing issues resolved by Brandon at J.Mills. Leaky outside water faucets were replaced with requested frost-free ones. An 18 year old water heater was still functioning OK but was at the end of its life and needed renewing. In both instances, J.Mills delivered service that had all of the above attributes. One could argue value but high quality items were used and installation was very clean. It was definitely an upgrade. I would highly recommend this business.
We called to report that our dishwasher was not draining properly and were asked if the disposal was working and sink was draining, which we confirmed. A plumber was sent out and spent 30 seconds confirming that the disposal worked and the sink was draining. He told us to call an appliance repair person and charged us $69. Complete ripoff.
I have a smell in my laundry room and Paul suggested many solutions but none solved the problem. He suggested someone run water done the vent stack on the roof but he couldnt do it because of liability concerns.He did not know anything about my iron filter and couldnt tell me if it was working properly or not. He did cycle it but nothing more.After almost two hours, there was no solution. I paid $169 for a diagnostic fee with no real diagnosis. Of course I was disappointed but I agreed to the fee, although it was for nothing at all.I dont think I would use this company again. The effort was there but the experience in solving this problem was not.
J Mills Plumbing is a family owned company that truly puts their customers first. Even amidst these difficult times, you can trust J Mills will be there to service your needs for time sensitive matters,. Our technician, Paul, was not only knowledgeable, but also professional, respectful and honest. Paul installed a new water heater for us and then came back another time to diagnose an issue we had relating to water temperature (unrelated to the previous job) and was transparent throughout the process. Prior to Pauls visit, we were asked a series of questions relating to COVID-19, in respect for not only their customers but also their employees and during the visit, Paul wore a face mask. It speaks volumes when a company puts safety first. If youre looking for a company that is punctual, responsive, competitively priced and reliable, J Mills is it. I will continue to work with them for many years to come.
Our plumbing job was completed this morning, much to our satisfaction. Paul was efficient and did a great job on the various tasks presented him. He was courteous while in our home. His work was neat and he was good about cleaning up when needed. I will not hesitate to recommend J.Mills to neighbors or people I know. I truly believe they are an honest company that cares.
Paul came today and he was amazing!!! He explained everything I asked in detail even when I asked more than once. He was able to fix my tub in a timely manner. He wore a mask and shoe covers. Paul is very knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend J. Mills Plumbing.
The team was on time, responded to questions and made sure I knew what was going on throughout the day! I would recommend them to anyone that needs work done - very responsive and helpful!Updated 8/13/21 - after the recent storm, water found it’s way into my basement - they fit in time to help me out. Very prompt and helpful!
Service was great, John, Joe and crew were amazing. Worked 11 hours straight in the freezing cold to get my house back up and running for my family. Greatly appreciated! Definitely will not hesitate to call for any future needs and will recommend to anyone looking for plumbing and water treatment needs.
I really like this company! I received a callback the same day for an inconvenience, not an emergency, and a technition came that day. Joe was clear about diagnostic fees and who would come. The truck was marked with company name. Brandon was very polite, professional and answered my questions. He was prepared to wear booties in the house. I told him not necessary in our situation.(Alex?) came the next day to finish up and check out our other questions. He checked out our concerns, made one adjustment, talked through our questions and we all decided the other concerns were not needing to be repaired in any way.I very much appreciate the communications skills and that we were not pushed to spend money on unnecessary repairs or new equipment. We were texted when the tech was on the way.I will definitely use J Mills in the future!
We have been very satisfied, repeat, Jmills plumbing Customers. This time we had a corroded shut off valve that began leaking. We have a finished basement with drywall ceilings. Paul was able to replace the valve through the small opening without cutting a bigger hole which I did not think was possible. We appreciate the extra effort & time he took to do the job correctly & leave the ceiling intact. We are seniors with medical issues & he wore a mask, was respectful of social distancing during this time of Covid 19 uncertainty which we appreciate. Customer satisfaction is very important to them.
John Mills and his technicians were a pleasure to work with during our emergency situation involving our septic system. John is passionate about his business and quality focused with his work. Very reasonable with his pricing even in this emergency situation where some businesses will take advantage of the customer. I will always use J Mills Plumbing for all of my needs going forward.
For some reason I never had a plumber that was honest, fair and reliable. J. Mills Plumbing exceeds all expectations. I have used them twice and would not even consider anyone else, and I have tried quite a few plumbers. My only wish is that they expand their services to all aspects of home repair!--michael g
I was truly impressed by the service I received. They were up front on pricing and explained everything they needed to do to repair my tub area. I hope not to have plumbing problems but if I do, J Mills will be my first call. Truly genuine gentleman that care about their customers. Thanks again!
Honest and professional people here. Needed a second opinion regarding some issues with an existing water treatment system installed by another company a few years ago. Brandon didnt try to sell us something else, but explained the equipment we have is actually good equipment and pointed out its still under warranty and it would be cheaper to deal with the original company at this point. He was full of knowledge and very outgoing. I will be calling J.Mills again for future plumbing needs.
New to the area and had a plumbing emergency on a holiday of course. Remember seeing good reviews of J.Mills Plumbing on the Next Door site. Called and Brandon was out in less than an hour. Turned out to be a very simple fix, and being a holiday they could have easily taken advantage of me. They didn’t. Brandon fixed it, explained what happened, and educated me on water softeners. Also said if I need to change the settings to call him and he would be happy to walk me through it. Very professional organization! This may be a minor thing but totally impressed me. He wore shoe covers from the minute he walked in the door until he left. I will use them for any future plumbing needs.
John Mills answered my call on the second ring and worked with me over the phone to triage the situation and scheduled a visit right away. Joe Mills arrived 20 minutes later, explained what he was going to do and kept me posted as he worked. Got the job done efficiently with great professionalism. Wonderful experience!
Our water heater went out and I didnt know who to call, so I filled out a form on Home Advisor. I mentioned that it was an emergency due to not having any hot water and thought I would receive several emails/phone calls by the next day. To my surprise, I received a call from Joe Mills, J Mills Plumbing, within the hour. He was the only plumber that called that night and said he could be there the next morning to install a new water heater. I only received one other call the next afternoon and they said they could be there in two days...what a joke. J Mills Plumbing let us know what our options were and came up with a better and more reasonable cost solution. I knew what it was going to cost upfront and that is exactly what Joe charged us. Joe did an amazing and professional job and I would highly recommend them to anyone. J Mills Plumbing is our new go-to plumber. We will be calling them back, as we have several other plumbing issues we need to have resolved. Thank you Joe Mills, we are so thrilled to have found you!!!
With short notice Paul was out with a brand new water heater for us. He did a great job with the installation and had the utmost respect for our home while he was here. Gave us great information on also putting in a softener system at a later date. We would highly recommend this company and their amazing employees!! Thank you for the amazing service!
My husband and I needed some plumbing corrected in our laundry room and an additional water line run outside for a spigot. I called J. Mills Plumbing and within one hour, my call was returned and we had a date set for them to come out to give us a cost and timing estimate. They came out on the date they promised, and gave us a reasonable estimate for the work to be done. We hired them. The day the work was to be done, John and Joe arrived at our home on time, ready to work. All the work they had to do was done promptly, professionally and beautifully (can plumbing be beautiful? YES! - there were no drips of PVC glue on the pipes, everything was neat, even, organized, straight, square - it was beautiful). John and Joe are polite, prompt, and very professional. We will definitely use J. Mills Plumbing again for ALL of our future plumbing and water treatment needs and highly recommend them!
I had a problem with a gas line and J.Mills solved it!Brandon was sent out to my Home and was here right on time. He was very professional, personable and knowledgeable. He operated with the utmost respect for my Family and property. I try to do anything I can myself around the house but I would be more than pleased to have Brandon from J.Mills back again.I felt proud to support a local business, especially one that supports our country’s Veterans!!
Had to redo my pipes inside my house and out to the road, probably around 40 feet outside/ 25 feet inside of pipe. John and Joe came out and gave me the best rate of 3 plumbers before they left on first visit. Job took less than a day, in and out and almost a week later everything has been great. Very professional and I highly recommended. Fowlerville.
I had the pleasure of both John and Joe out to my house today to fix and emergency pipe burst in the basement. I can not thank them enough, not only were the able to arrange there schedule to get out to my house but they were only here for like 20 min, and I was back up and running. What a wonderful experience for a horrible situation. They were very kind and extremely professional! Highly recommend them to any one, and cant wait to have them help with my Kitchen Remodel project!
I have used J Mills Plumbing three times over the past few months for various projects - a broken toilet flange, install a oven gas line, and repair hot water tank. Paul was sent out each time and did an absolutely fabulous job for me. Pricing was fair, response time quick, and the service exceptional. I highly recommend them.
I had a pipe freeze and split. Called J.Mills, talked with Joe and he got Brandon on it within a couple of hours. The fix was not straightforward since the pipe had distorted with the freeze. Brandon didn’t give up until he had a solution and my water back on. This is a great company with a great team. I highly recommend them. Thanks J.Mills!
Excellent work by John and Joe! I had a 20 year old water heater that was leaking and needed to be replaced. I was impressed with the response time of phone calls as well as the service. They were really friendly and professional. They were also willing to help me out even though I was out of there normal service area. They fit me in to a busy schedule and got it done quickly. Highly recommend them! God bless these guys and the great work they do!
Joe and John were very professional to work with , they provided all the information for the work schedule and any question I asked and what I could expect when they were completed. I was very comfortable leaving a key with them to complete work while I was work. They were able to complete the work with in my budget. I would hight recommend them!
This is an awesome company to work with! They showed up on time, performed all the work that was quoted and cleaned up before leaving. I would recommend them to anyone who needs an honest plumber or for any of your water treatment needs. I cant speak highly enough of them. They went above and beyond in service for us! Thanks Joe and John!
Great company! Would recommend to everyone. John and Joe were out to my house for a well pipe leak. They had it fixed in 1 day saving me a lot of head ache of not having water. They were fast, efficient, reasonably priced and over all just great, personable guys. I will definitely be using them in the future for any plumbing needed in my home.
My water heater went out on a Sunday so I called J. Mills to leave a voicemail hoping to get call back the following day since it was a Sunday. I ended up getting a call back within 5 minutes which is unheard of. We determined that the best move was to just replace our 14 year old water heater. They came the next day and had it done within an hour. John & Joe were both very courteous and professional and showed up right on time. John has been doing plumbing work for my family since I was a little kid and now his two sons provide the same exceptional service years later.
John and his co-workers have helped us with two properties over the past 5 years. They have consistently been prompt, especially with emergencies, efficient, honest and very reasonably priced. And John has a great sense of humor, too.Our church highly recommends them!!
Absolutely horrible. A major rip-off. My water heater died and I wanted it fixed quickly. J Mills Plumbing, LLC was the first company to reply so I took their offer up. They charged me $1,700 for a $500 (retail) water heater. It took them less than two hours, more like an hour and a half and thats being generous to do. Thats $600 - $800 an hour for a plumber. Thats more than twice what I paid my lawyer. And then the next day I had a major leak due to the way that they installed the water heater. I had the main water line into my place break. Imagine the main water line into your place pouring into your bedroom. So I have a literal flood flowing into the closet in my bedroom and I have to run outside and climb under my mobile home to shut off the main line. Did I mention that Im disabled. This was not easy. I had water in the closet in the bedroom, in the laundry room, and in the kitchen. Now to their credit, they did get here rather quickly. But they made it seem like they were doing me a favor to not charge me for fixing it their mistake. Instead of any kind of apology, they gave excuses. Go somewhere else.Edit: according to Home Advisor, where I found them, the average price in Brighton for a hot water heater is $846. They charged me twice that. Also according to Home Advisor, average plumber cost could go up to $150 per hour. They charged me four times that amount. $600 an hour.Edir 2: I left them a message/review on their website. They obviously never read it I got an absolutely canned response. And I know this for a fact, because when I responded to that response I got the exact same response. They didnt even read what I said.

2022-05-07Excellent customer service! Service tech was running a little behind for arrival but let us know so we could adjust our schedule. Made sure to explain exactly what was going on with our water softener, replaced the filter, and showed us how it functioned. Also checked our reverse osmosis system to verify it was running properly. Highly recommend this company. Thank you so much J. Mills Plumbing!

2022-03-27Owning a hair salon for 14 years, plumbing has been problematic for us. Finding people who can work on our off hours and quickly so we can stay in business was always a challenge. We have currently been having issues with our brand new hot water tank not keeping up, and no one was able to help us figure out the solution. We were referred to J.Mills, and I called, and let me say what a relief. They were terrific, even on the phone. They got the project rolling right away!They came out the following Monday and had solutions for us by the next day. They not only gave us multiple choices so we could have some ranges on pricing and solutions for long-term use, but they booked us right away and worked on a Sunday to ensure they didnt interfere with my business. They even fixed the poor piping that was installed by previous landlord on my floor. It was a mess, and they just fixed it all!I finally have found reliable hard working individuals who truly care about my business. I will only be using them moving forward for anything both commercial or at home. I really can not say enough, I went from crying to jumping for joy. Thank you so much, you have our business for life!

2022-03-03Joseph provided excellent service in replacing our kitchen faucet. It was not an easy job, but he found work arounds to finish the job to our complete satisfaction. He was professional, on time, courteous and attentive to cleanliness. Another highly positive service experience for us from J Mills Plumbing.

2022-03-09Appreciate the honesty from Flynn & J Mills on what we needed. I had a different company come in a couple months earlier and they tried to sell me the moment they walked through my door. J Mills took the time to inspect the problem with my water heater (not ventilating properly) and give me several different options on what I should do to repair/replace it. Writing this before testing fully my hot water but we should be good. Thanks guys, I will be trusting them with future needs as well!

2022-03-26Our well tank failed and Joe came and installed a new tank with all new plumbing. Great job, timely and very professionally done and the clean up was excellent and we were super pleased! I would highly recommend J. Mills Plumbing!
Review №7
2022-06-15Joe and Flynn did a great job installing 2 hose bibs and prepping for a future install. They ok’d hose bib locations with me prior to starting work and had no issues working in my old farm house and with its unique construction. They also fixed a shower drain that had been leaking for years. After finishing they walked me through all the work they did and where shut off valves were. I’m glad I called them and have J. Mills scheduled for more work this summer. Also, Charles at the office is always a pleasure to talk with on the phone. Great guys and great work!

2022-02-15Amazing Company! They were incredibly attentive, cared about my family, and my house. Every team member was educated on how to complete their craft and they were considerate of my family being home while they worked and replaced my sewage line. Joe and Charles communication was above and beyond. I was never left in the dark and I appreciate their transparency when discussing price and solution for my broken sewage line. I will use them every time and have shared their names with my friends and family. They do business the way it should be done.

2022-01-14J.Mills Plumbing did a great job installing a new Hot water heater & a water softener system after a power surge. They arrived right on time and worked all day till everything was done and did a great job on clean up after! They took the time to show us how all the new stuff works and answered all of our many questions.
