Independent gas pipe installer in the north end of Seattle

Have you tried Energy Works? Small team, great craftsmanship. Rich & Kaleb do all the work. We've done a few projects together now and I'm quite happy.

Hi Robert Crimmins! May I ask why you're specifically looking for an independent contractor? I used All Climate Heating and Air Conditioning and had a great experience. I would highly recommend them, but they don't quite fit what you're looking for.

Hi Ryan, thanks for asking. There are a couple reasons. In general, I enjoy working with folks who are nearer to the ownership of the company, i.e., the entrepreneur. I seldom just hire someone, open the door, let them do their work and leave. I like to talk with them, ask them about their business, how they got started at it, about the technicalities of the work they do. I always learn something. Of course, I'm careful not to be a nuisance; but usually they love the conversation as much as I do. These folks also typically have less marketing savvy and budget compared to their larger competitors; so I try to seek them out when I can. That said, there are projects that might call for a higher-level of specialized skill or equipment or that require multiple disciplines. In those cases, I don't hesitate to go with a bigger firm.

Thanks, Adam, I'll give them a call!

Hey Adam Doppelt, I just called and Blue Flame answered the phone. I suppose maybe they got acquired?

Hi Robert, I am not sure what phone number we had for Energy Works, but I have corrected it in our system. Try this number- 425.409.5661. I apologize for the confusion. Thanks for the call out!

Thanks, Meredith Fife , I called the new number. Found out that the guy who founded Blue Flame sold it and started a new company, Energy Works. I set up an site visit for next week.
