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
Estimate fee charged upfront plus quote of $1,000+ for a job a competitor finished for $175 — reviewer specifically noted feeling "taken advantage of as a single female."
“They charge a fee to give an estimate, then quoted me over $1k, poor follow up, would not work with me on the price at all. I called another plumbing company down the street who quoted $750 over the phone, they came out - no fee for the estimate - completed the job & cleaned up for a total of $175.”
Pricing opacity flagged in 2 reviews: one reviewer paid an estimate fee then received a $1,000+ quote later completed by a competitor for $175; another found final bill higher than expected due to undisclosed travel charges.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“45 dollars to have their guy come out and wiggle my drain. Bathtub overflow drain is loose and water leaking through ceiling. The guy would not repair the seal or tighten screws he only offered to put silicone around it. Guess ill.be watching another youtube video and headed to home depot. I would like my money back!”
“Ha, the website states the hire professionals with clean driving records by their drivers go over 100mph on 75 without maintaining a lane. Runs off the road and throws rocks into windshields causing cracks. Absolutely pathetic for standards for company. Drug testing doesn't rid of alcoholics. Cheap and underqualified staff”
“Needed water heater replaced. I purchased the water heater, was natural gas so I decided to have a Pro do it. Mind you I bought the WH and a new expansion tank... to be replaced. My friend who owns the residence is a Senior who was recently widowed, the guy came, to do the job and the set price was 1248.84. She contacted me and told me the price... I was shocked, I told her I would call them and find out why so …”
Positive
“Brandon and coworker were amazing! We had a shower leak and needed a new toilet installed. The job was done quickly and effortlessly. They were also very pleasant and personable. We will definitely keep them as our plumber go tos!”
“Very professional and knowledgeable of the work that needed to be completed. Came in and knocked everything out that needed to be done for the 1st visit and I will be scheduling the follow up very soon.”
