“This company made us wait over 2 weeks to come look at a leak we had in our shower that coming through the ceiling. Guys came out and only looked at the issue for about 10 minutes, charged us $180 for the service call, and said they would send over a quote. 5 days later and still no quote. Called to follow up and they don't have a quote in their system.”
