Seventeen years, one honest owner

When you call Janssen, the owner picks up. The same person who answers the phone is the one in your basement, and he has been doing this work for 17 years.

  • A real person answers. No call center, no phone tree, no rotating crew of subcontractors.
  • He explains it in plain English. Steve sits down and walks you through the problem before he touches anything.
  • One number for four trades. Furnace, AC, plumbing, and insulation, all from someone you already trust.
  • Fair, owner-quoted pricing. No big-name markup. Ask about payment options on bigger jobs.
“$1,200 under two big-name bids.”

Tracey had two bids from well-known Wood River and Alton companies. Steve came in about twelve hundred dollars under both and fixed her gas line in two hours.

Good questions

Answers before you call

Yes. When your heat, AC, or hot water quits, call Steve and he will get to you fast, often the same day. He handles emergency calls himself, so you are talking to the person who will be in your home.

Yes. Steve handles heating, cooling, plumbing, and insulation, so one trusted local person does your furnace, your water heater, your gas line, and your attic. You stop keeping five contractors’ cards.

It depends on the size of your home and the efficiency of the system, so a new furnace usually runs a few thousand dollars. Steve quotes it himself, in plain English, with no call-center markup. Call (618) 541-2415 for a real number for your home.

Steve will tell you straight. A common rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than about half of a replacement and the unit is over ten years old, replacing usually makes more sense. He explains the trade-off before you decide, and he will not push you toward the most expensive option.

Ask Steve about payment options on bigger jobs like a full system replacement. He quotes fair and works with you where he can.

East Alton is home base. Steve also serves Alton, Wood River, Edwardsville, Godfrey, and out into the St. Louis metro. Call to confirm service in your neighborhood: (618) 541-2415.
