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
Threatening debt collection behavior: Manager threatened to place a lien on customer's home after service dispute, which is an aggressive and unusual response to a pricing complaint
“He reduced the price to $250 in 10 seconds. I needed it done.”
Red flag
Pricing significantly above market rate: Customer noted other plumbers charge $49 for drain snaking versus the $250 charged here; high variance in dimension scores (40) reflects inconsistent customer experience
“He reduced the price to $250 in 10 seconds. I needed it done.”
Pricing opacity and aggressive negotiation tactics: No phone quotes provided; initial estimate of $350 was reduced to $250 only when customer objected, suggesting pricing lacks consistency
“He reduced the price to $250 in 10 seconds. I needed it done.”
Poor administrative follow-through: Customer requested receipt 4 times and never received one
“He reduced the price to $250 in 10 seconds. I needed it done.”
