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.
One reviewer notes timing isn't always predictable — 'They may not arrive to do your job at a time your expecting' — and pricing is above market with no negotiation room.
“They're very expensive. They'll get the job done but you will pay quite a bit (above market) for it. Attempting to negotiate the price down will be futile..”
Keep it in proportion: these concerns are cited in 1 of the 91 reviews we analyzed. Most reviewers report positive experiences — see the full rating picture below.
The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Positive
“We had our sink clog up in the kitchen, and the next day Travis came out and fixed it right up. He was very nice and professional and did a great job. Also, our dogs loved the attention and scratches that he gave them. Happy holidays and thank you for the awesome experience!”
“Drainworks Plumbing and Gas is awesome! Travis Perkins, the Owner/Operator is wonderful to work with. He is so friendly and listens to his customers to provide the best service possible. He has done lots of work for me and my family. From shower faucets to toilet plumbing, garbage disposals and gas lines, up to and including the kitchen sink! He is, and always will be, my 'go-to guy'. Thanks Travis!”
