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
One 2-star review describes an initial quote of $386 for ~15 minutes of simple toilet work, reduced to $185 only after customer refusal — pricing transparency gap.
“They said it would be $386 for them to do the repairs. I said no thank you and told them to have a good day. The young man said they could put on the new seat, the new tower and their flapper for $185.”
Initial quote of $386 for toilet seat/tower/flapper came down to $185 only when customer declined — suggests opening bids can run high before negotiation.
“They said it would be $386 for them to do the repairs. I said no thank you and told them to have a good day. The young man said they could put on the new seat, the new tower and their flapper for $185.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I called j Henry for help because I couldn't get the internet to work for me. Two young men showed up. I showed them the new commode seat and new tower I had and they would furnish the new flapper. I also needed the sprayer head on the kitchen sink replaced and did not have one. They said it would be $386 for them to do the repairs. I said no thank you and told them to have a good day. The young man said they …”
Positive
“I cannot say enough about this company. I awoke early Friday morning to water in the floor and under my kitchen sink. I was so worried that the weekend would cause extra charges or it would not be fixed till Monday. I called Josh Henry at 7:15am and he had a worker, Jason, there by 10:15 and by noon a new garbage disposal was bought and installed! He fixed a toilet that was running with no charge. The bill was less …”
“Excellent service. I called in the morning for a kitchen sink issue and one of the techs was out to the house by 1:00pm. He quickly diagnosed the problem (loose pipe under the house). He quickly fixed the issue and explained the process. I would use this service again. John”
