“9 of 10 Mainers remember the name Laplante Electric.”
“Love 'em or hate 'em, you have to admire the persistence and simplicity of the Laplante Electric ads.”
The communication about appointments, the ease of making an appointment, and the reliability and professionalism of the technicians has made me one very happy client. Highly recommend LaPlante!
Connor was wonderful! He did high quality work, kept safety in mind, and was very courteous and respectful. We would call in them again for future jobs.
Excellent service. Connor was knowledgeable and meticulous about the quality of his work, and also caught a problem that had gone unnoticed.
They charge a $90 fee just to send out the plumber and then the normal costs of having a plumber fix something. It's not that I can't afford it, I'm just not going to be ripped off and this is a rip off.edit: after this review, the company contacted me to see if they could do anything to make me happy but the dispatch fee would still be there and that money would not be added to the overall cost if I decided to go with them. That just means it's $90 more expensive. The fee stands and so does my review. They're nice, I just don't like the policy and a lot of others won't either.
Couldn't be happier with the service and work done! Will definitely use again for all my heating and electric needs!
