Critical
“Does ok work but try to nickel and dime everything We've used about 4x they do get it done but at expense... As of your response to my review I never indicated that there was any misunderstanding regarding my review. Everything said is as it should be...”
“Plumbing work was great but they destroyed my front yard my husband is on a walker and we can not get off the ramp when it rains water stands at the end of the ramp”
Positive
“UPDATE: We love 1-Tom-Plumber so much, we had to review them twice. After our bad leak earlier this year, we asked 1-Tom to come back and do a full-house inspection. This time, Louis came out, and we all determined that it was time to replace the shower valves to avoid a future issue. Louis was kind, honest, fair, communicative, and wildly funny! He came back at a later date to cut access panels for our showers, …”
“Heath & Jason came by looked to find the problem and solved it within an 1hr and 30 mins! Gave great details on how to avoid this problem so it wouldn't happen again! Nice and friendly attitude, definitely would recommend.”
