After two visits from my home warranty company to diagnose a problem with a bathtub faucet, Melroy's Mr. Bent listened to my concerns, went the extra mile to work me into his day, leave work, pick up his truck and and fixed the problem in 15 minutes and discovered it was nothing more than a simple aerator clean out of the faucet. The two other contractors did not even touch the faucet and were recommending that the tile surround be torn apart before they could diagnose, at extra costs of over $600. THANK YOU MELROY FOR HONEST, EXCELLENT EXPERTISE AND SERVICE! Trust in a vendor is vital, and I would trust Melroy for any job, big or small.

Mlroy provided Excellent sevice on a Class A Coach AC and heating system. He was thorough in all aspects of the repairs. He spent as much time as was required to evaluate explain and cost the project. For the excellnt price quoted he not only did the repairs but went over the whole system tracing and cleaning all connections and equipment. When he was finished he totally explained the whole system and future maintenance that was required. Note the system was NOT a simple system which I could not figure out as a retired Engineer.

I was disappointed to find out several years after Melroy installed a wood burning stove and chimney system, that it was not built to code. We are now going to have to do the whole thing over again and probably wont be able to use our stove this year.

When we bought our home the only issue that needed to be repaired was the Central Air. The Seller brought in Melroy which did just over 4 figures worth of work to the system to repair a coolant leak and gave it a clean bill of health. Two weeks after closing we were not convinced the AC was working right. I called Melroy who sent a Tech out, they charged $96 for a service call and said everything was fine.

Two weeks after that the house would not cool below 85, so we called Melroy again. They said we were low on coolant but were adamant that the system was not leaking. $200 some dollars later we had more coolant and the system was working fine again. They said if it leaked again they would have to do more extensive and expensive leak tests. 2 weeks later, the AC is not cooling again. I am calling somebody else, 3 strikes and you are out in my book. I am tired of wasting time and Money on a company that cannot fix the problem. I cannot recommend the company.
