Our verdict
Excellent at the work itself and communicating during jobs, but two separate incidents of aggressive/unsafe driving behavior raise serious safety concerns for a company you'd call in a crisis.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Tech almost ran over my foot in a parking lot while backing out! Close call to a lawsuit!”
“Extremely unprofessional workers. I was following an ambiance with my six month old in it trying to go to the E.R. I tried to pass one of there vans. I had my hazards on and was trying to travel the speed limit. The worker driving wasn't allowing me to pass him. He sped up trying to stop me from passing. Making me miss my exit. They pasted back by me smirking thinking they were being cute.”
Positive
“Angel fixed my sump pump issue and is very kind and knowledgable. He cleaned up the area, wore shoe covers, explained everything to me as he worked, and answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend Sabre.”
“We really appreciate their professionalism. They fixed something on our new home that was out of warranty and did an excellent job.”
