What reviewers report — the concerns
Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.
Red flag
Salespeople sent as 'technicians': quoted $600 for minor repair, spent 2hrs pitching add-ons worth thousands, then offered the original repair 'free' if customer bought the upgrades — never disclosed he was a salesperson, not a repair tech (unprofessional=1)
“We called for a very minor plumbing issue. They basically sent salesmen out as a "technician" to quote us almost $600 for the repair but then spent almost two hours putting together quotes for some other services and said he could do the $600 repair "for free" if we choose to install other items which cost thousands of dollars. We said we just wanted the repair we called for and we were told he would have to have the "technician" dispatched because he didn't do the repairs himself. Not once did he mention he was solely there to sell us things.”
Red flag
No-showed twice on whole-house water filtration install: first blamed a missing part, second resulted in customer being told they had 'no appointment on file' — blamed a system migration after company acquisition (slow_response=2)
“This company has been terrible from the start. I decided to put a whole house water filtration system in back in March 2025. They were supposed to show up on a Monday and never showed and never called. When I called them they told me they were missing a part and it would be there the next day and they would install the next day. Guess what - they didn't show the next day. When I called and asked why I was told I didn't have an appointment.”
Estimates omit simple fixes deliberately — recommended $800+ rebuild or full toilet replacement instead of $15 flapper; confirmed flapper would work but claimed 'that service isn't offered by ABC'
Cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed.
Service documentation inaccurate — diagnostic-only visit recorded as 'cleaning' on official invoice; A/C filter left unchanged despite maintenance booking (slow_response=2)
“I scheduled an A/C maintenance appointment, but the technician only performed a diagnostic and did not complete the whole system maintenance or cleaning, the filter was not changed either. Before leaving, he stated that my A/C system would be down in two weeks to one month…… The service summary later stated, "customer use us diagnostic and cleaning," Which is inaccurate.”

Critical
“If I could give negative stars I would! We called for a very minor plumbing issue. They basically sent salesmen out as a “technician” to quote us almost $600 for the repair but then spent almost two hours putting together quotes for some other services and said he could do the $600 repair “for free” if we choose to install other items which cost thousands of dollars. We said we just wanted the repair we called for …”
“The company is professional but I’ve had an issue with communication and an issue with ridiculous estimates. Recommendations- I mentioned the toilet runs on occasion (but not problematic) and the plumber recommended 2 extreme options, 1) replace the entire toilet or 2) rebuild the interior for $800+….. I asked if they had considered replacing the flapper, a $15 part that I’ve replaced on my own numerous times. The …”
