What recent reviews say

Meetze responds quickly to emergencies and fielded calls on July 4th when competitors were unavailable, earning strong marks for speed and friendliness. Technicians (Mike, Julian, Dillon, Blake, Caden, and others) consistently draw praise for professionalism and knowledge, and the company has corrected past installations free of charge. However, customers report surprise bills when labor costs are not quoted upfront, and a $49 dispatch fee may not be disclosed during booking.

Common questions

How fast can Meetze respond to emergencies?
A customer called mid-morning and two technicians were on the way for a water heater replacement that afternoon. A July 4th call at 11:30 AM resulted in arrival by 12:10 PM, when other plumbers were unavailable.
Can I request a specific technician?
Yes. One customer specifically requested a technician by name for a future appointment after a positive experience.
Are there any hidden charges I should know about?
The company charges a $49 dispatch fee, and labor is not always quoted upfront. Ask for a written estimate before work begins to avoid surprises.

Most recent work shows technicians diagnosing problems accurately and treating customers with respect. One household reported pressure to replace working systems, then conflicting warranty claims cast doubt on whether replacements were needed. The bulk of feedback praises named staff like Pablo Bonilla, Jeffrey Pridgeon, and David Williams for patience and transparency, but the 1-star review raises a trust concern worth considering. Cassell handles plumbing, water heater, and HVAC work in Irmo with same-day or next-day response typical. Customers note clean jobsites, picture updates during work, and willingness to discuss options before committing to expensive repairs. The one serious complaint centred on a technician and supervisor recommending costly replacements without clear justification, then later suggesting to warranty companies that those same upgrades were unnecessary.

The business handles plumbing, fixture installation, railings, decks, and general home repair.
