From start to finish I was pleasantly surprised of the great communication, fair price, quality work and fast service I received. He left my bathroom spotless after two messy repairs and I was so impressed. I have not always had good luck with contractors or repair people. More often than not, I have ended up feeling cheated, frustrated and disappointed, But not with Shaw. I believe this is the second fantastic experience I have had with this company. What really made my day was hearing from an employee what a great place Shaw is to work and how much they love their job. Now, you don't hear that every day! That right there is how you run a successful business. I highly recommend Shaw to all my family and Friends. The owner Hank Shaw, is a honest to goodness stand up guy.

Last August/September I called Shaw Plumbing for a water heater estimate. The technician told me my…read moreunit was 30 years old, unsafe to keep using, and needed immediate replacement -- then quoted $5,000 for a 50-gallon tank plus labor, despite the fact that I live alone and have no need for that size. I got a second opinion today (took me a while) before agreeing to anything. My new plumber found the unit was actually 13 years old and functioning fine -- no replacement necessary. In other words, everything I was told to justify a $5,000 job was false. I'll let readers draw their own conclusions about what happened here. What I do know is: get a second opinion before you sign anything with this company, especially if you're being told something needs to be replaced "ASAP." Feels like elder abuse and / or gender discrimination to me.

Ineffective Service, Exorbitant Charge for Nothing, and Management Ignores Customers…read more I regret calling Raptor Rooter & Plumbing LLC for a serious plumbing issue in mid-November 2025. Water was backing up from a basement floor drain in my South Hill Spokane home, creating a messy and urgent situation. Technician Brandon arrived and, after I described the recurring problem in detail, tested the drain by running water. He then briefly ran a cable snake only about 2 feet into the drain and stopped. He provided no diagnosis, no explanation for the backup, and admitted he didn't have a camera scope on hand--which likely would have revealed the root cause. After roughly 45 minutes, he left without resolving anything. I was shocked to be billed $462 for this unproductive visit. Hoping for some accountability, I left a message two days later for General Manager Chris, asking him to call me about Brandon's service. It's now January 7, 2026--nearly two months later--and Chris has never bothered to return my call, showing a complete lack of integrity or concern for customer satisfaction. Fortunately, I found a reputable plumbing company in the area. Their general manager and team were responsive, thorough, and fixed the problem permanently. Raptor Rooter's work was inadequate, their follow-through appalling, and their overall integrity horrendous. Save yourself the frustration and money--I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE for work beyond attaching a garden hose.

They sent a super young man, and we were billed and paid the almost 200 dollars. Sturm was going to have a tech come out and tell us how much a complete repair would be (I ass u med) we paid for that and we also asked the tech to have sales contact us for bids to replace HP with another heat pump or A/C unit. After over a month of no contact, I finally got the poor receptionist to explain that it would be over 800 dollars MORE before they could tell us how much it would be to fix it. And, she politely said she would ask sales to contact us to follow up on repair or replace. OVER A MONTH OF NOTHING and now over 800 to do something we paid for in May. They threw away a long relationship with us and we are telling our friends, colleagues and neighbors.

That was ridiculous, toilets seldom go "bad", it is the fill and dump valves that need to be replaced. I fixed the flapper valve assembly myself for about $12. I hate to say this but it appears that there is something going on in the plumbing repair business where they are charging extremely high prices. You can call a few of them and they will all quote the same ridiculous price for a repair.

We had used Air Control on Christmas Eve in 2016 when the furnace failed & were impressed with them then too. Got a call back per my request first thing Monday a.m. Person that returned my call (eek, can't remember her name!) was absolutely wonderful. Friendly, helpful, & understanding of working with elderly customers. Technician Jerry arrived at my mother's house within 30 minutes & we could not have had a better technician. Jerry was friendly, efficient, did not try to hard sell or up sell us on anything (as happens with so many businesses), gave us factual options & quotes, and was even pleasant about working with a furnace that was in a very inconvenient location (a crawlspace!) I highly recommend this business & its technicians for everyone and especially for elderly customers. All to often elderly people are taken advantage of by technicians and businesses because they may not see, hear or understand things very well. Air Control is an honest and reliable business and I would not hesitate to have my mother deal with them directly.

My husband & father in law were able to figure out the Capacitor was bad. Since we already had the appointment scheduled, we called Air Control again to cancel the appointment and asked if they had a Capacitor we could purchase from them. They advised they do not sell parts. My mother in law spoke with a few different people and they agreed to let us just buy the Capacitor we needed to fix the issue ourselves. Air Control went way above and beyond, going against their normal protocol so we could save money on a service call that would have ended up costing a few hundred dollars. We're so appreciative they were willing to work with us and will definitely go through them again for any of our servicing needs! We will for sure be recommending them to family & friends!
