Red flag
Potential over-diagnosis on water heater: foreman recommended full replacement on visual look only — second company found a low-cost repair instead (1-star, Dec 2023).
“their foreman that came out to do an estimate for an issue with my water heater took one look without doing any kind of inspection and told me I had to do an entire replacement which was barely 5 years old.
