| - Got gas? Hope so ...
My wife and I recently moved and bought a home in McKenzie Towne. The home we bought had an undeveloped basement - our plan was to develop it right away.
Our previous home had a NG (natural gas) hookup for our NG BBQ... this house did not.
I have a number of friends who work in the trades industry so I asked my friend and framing contractor (Dave Bates - Timberstone Contracting) for a Gas Fitter referral.
Dave introduced me to Rick Kirkland - the owner of Protech Plumbing.
After a brief call with Rick and confident he understood our needs, I agreed to his his service. Rick sent one of his crew (Jesse) to see our home and estimate the job.
* instal a natural gas line to the back of the home for our BBQ
* instal a NG line into the kitchen for future use of a gas range
* re-run a couple existing gas lines which hadn't been ran through the floor joists
Jesse quoted the work needed and Rick arranged for the city gas inspector. Rick really made it easy to work with him.
Jesse was great. Not only did he do great work but he also saved us a massive headache & expense. During the installation of the NG BBQ line, Jesse noticed some condensation in the home's rim-joists.
After closer review and a call the to builder, we all realized the rim-joist vapour barrier had been improperly installed! Had this gone unnoticed the condensation would have inevitably caused serious damage to our home - long after the reno - and resulting in a lot of money to correct the problem. Thanks to Jesse, this giant headache was avoided.
As for the work Jesse did - fantastic. Clean, on time, and professional and as per the price quoted.
Lastly, a couple weeks after the install of the NG BBQ line, I noticed the smell gas around the BBQing area. I was convinced the smell was coming from the newly installed NG hookup.
I called Rick to inquire... Rick sent one of his crew the next day... and we discovered the NG hookup was just fine. The gas smell was coming from a hole in the BBQ gas hose itself (I must have damaged it during the move).
Oops... my fault. Rick said "no worries"... it happens. He didn't even charge me for the service call. He should have... and would have happily paid for it.
I was extremely impressed with the work and professionalism of Rick and his crew. More so, I will be forever grateful for Jesse's discovery of the condensation found in the home's rim-joists as well as the money saved from it's immediate repair (covered by my home warranty).
I've since recommended Rick and the services of Protech Plumbing. They've loved Rick and his services as much as we did.
I continue to confidently refer the services of Rick and Protech Plumbing. If you need a plumbing or gas fitting service, do not hesitate to give Rick a call - I guarantee you, you wont regret it.
