When scheduling the return visit to patch the wall, he told me he was booked for the next two weeks, so we agreed on a Monday two weeks out. During that time, I learned I would be out of town and needed to reschedule. He suggested coming the day before but did not specify a time. Since I was leaving Sunday afternoon, I asked what time he would be by. He then changed his mind and said he didn't need to be bothered rescheduling and would not be returning to finish the job. Based on my experience, you cannot rely on him to complete the work.

Drain Man did solid plumbing work for me initially. On December 23, they resolved a slow toilet…read moreseepage issue efficiently, and I was happy with the quality of the repair. Follow-up work (faucet replacement and shutoff valve replacements) had to wait for a building-wide water shutoff. When I learned on Jan 23 that a shutoff had been scheduled for Jan 31 (a limited, 3-hour window that happens maybe a few times a year), I contacted Drain Man immediately--speaking with the office manager and following up the same day by both text and email with full details. (These communications had concluded by 1:15 p.m.) By 11:30 a.m. Monday morning I hadn't heard back. When I called again, (the call rolled over from the office directly to the plumber, who said he was on his back underneath someone's sink), I was told nothing was scheduled and was asked for the work details again, despite having already provided them. When I expressed concern about the multiple provisions of the details--given the tight timing--the conversation was ended abruptly by the plumber ("I'm busy"). This experience suggested organizational and communication issues. That impression was reinforced by the fact that my landlord had also been waiting on an electronic invoice from the December visit and still hadn't received it by Jan. 12. Bottom line: if you're judging purely on workmanship, I have no complaints. But if timely communication, clear scheduling, and not having to repeat yourself matter to you, this may not be the right fit.

In less than a day I got a quote. I accepted the quote. We scheduled an early morning appointment, a workman came out (ON TIME I might add). And 2 hours later I had two 220v lines in the house to run an electric hot water heater and electric stove. Very neat, professional workmanship. Reliable and courteous company and management. Thank God there are still places like this that take pride in what they do. A++++++

In December 2024, after waiting 9 months for permits, the house was framed. The plumber quickly did his part. Scott and I walked the house, I told him what I needed, and on January 20, 2025, sent him the plans. Initially, he said he had them; then I heard nothing more. He did not respond to texts or phone calls, I even taped a written request to contact me. I finally found him at his business, he said he would send me an estimate I then heard nothing for 3 weeks. In many texts, I asked him just to tell me if he was too busy. Today, I went to his business at 6:30 am, and asked him if wanted to do it. He told me I could "get in line" but it would be a long, long time If he had just responded to my texts, I could have found a new electrician and not have my house sit u touched since January. This is causing me to lose thousands on prolonged rent; fortunately my landlord is kind and won't evict me
