1-star reviewer requested quote breakdown after receiving lump-sum estimate — company never responded to multiple follow-up emails (HJbtkq7gfkoHckadyhnF).
“Asked for a quote to replace water heater. They came over to check the site, very pleasant, professional person, quick and easy to work with. 2 days later the quote comes in.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“They charge way too much for replacing our garbage processor of our kitchen sink. The garbage processor price is around $170, but they tried to charge us $800 in total. We ended up finding another place which charges $200 + price of garbage processor ($370 in total) less than half of the cost of this place.”

Positive
“Jerry and Brayen were great - explained the issues clearly and compared short term vs long term options for the pipes in our home. It is also very convenient that you can book online and we were able to book an appointment for the very next morning. Will definitely use them again”
“I needed the gas line for my old dryer moved to accommodate a new electric dryer. I called to schedule on Thursday and Jany came to do an estimate of the project the following Monday. He was able to complete the job during the same visit. He was kind and professional, and put booties on without me asking. He clearly explained what needed to be done and the job was completed within 30 minutes. I highly recommend …”
