Elite Mechanical Contractor LLC is a plumbing and heating shop whose own website lists jobs from water heater installations to clogged drains. The company says it has been in business 20 years, and it names a service area that includes Hartford, New Haven, Bristol, West Hartford and Southington. One customer had a hot water heater and expansion tank installed and said the price for both jobs was very fair. A customer who collected four estimates said Paul had the best price and was pleased with new outdoor spigots. A customer who called for an appointment the night before said Paul was available, arrived first thing in the morning and did a full walk-through to check that there were no additional issues. A customer wrote that Paul never tried to upsell services they did not need and explained everything clearly. After a water filter was installed, a customer said water quality improved a lot and that Paul was responsive to calls and text messages. On Google the business holds 4.9 stars from 36 ratings, and its Better Business Bureau page shows an A+ grade and accreditation. Its Connecticut plumbing licence, PLM.0277920-P1, is active, held by Paul C Hammell Jr.
Paul was prompt and very customer focused. Our hot water heater and expansion tank were installed in no time. His price for doing both jobs was very fair. We can highly recommend his services. We have his number now!!
Paul is great to work with. He got the job completed quickly and efficiently! Super personable and explains all processes to make sure you understand what is going on. Called for an appt the night before and he was available and arrived first thing in the morning. He also did a full thorough walk through to ensure everything else is good shape and there were no additional issues that needed addressing. HIGHLY recommend!
I had a great experience with Paul. He was easy to work with, honest, and never tried to upsell me on services I didn’t need. He explained everything clearly, completed the job quickly, and the quality of the work was excellent. It’s refreshing to find someone who is professional, reliable, and fair. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy plumber!
Paul had the best price, I got 4 estimates plus he was a friendly and jolly fellow. Service was great and I am really pleased with my new outdoor spigots. He is even going to stop by next week for an extra job I thought up for him. Also he was wonderful with my dog.
It’s been great working with Paul. He explains the complete process so well. Very detailed and made sure we are happy with the product. Water quality improved a lot after the filter installed. Paul is very professional, responsive to our calls and text messages. Always available to provide answers for any questions we had. It’s been great experience working with Elite Mechanical (Paul). Thank you
