James arrived. Spent first 30 minutes just walking back and forth. When I questioned him he said…read morehe was just trying to estimate how long it would take. All I needed was the old dishwasher taken out, and the new one installed, and a new sink faucet installed. When I asked him what he had come up with, he responded $600 or maybe $700. Might take him 4 or 5 hours. I called Joe ( I guess the boss) and said it was just a ballpark figure and they needed half down before the work was done. Joe talked 90 mph, talked over me, kept interrupting me even after I suggested he not interrupt me. I was about to tell him to cancel the job when Joe said he was going to tell James to move on..I told him that was a great idea. End of Walter Plumbing for me or any of mine. Online one can find clear instructions on installing a dishwasher---really relatively simple---should take less than an hour. From his behavior I would guess that he is not too sure on how to do the job, or it is possible that he was just running up the clock.

I own a property in LaGrande that had a pipe break and it is leaking everywhere. I'm personally out of town and can't take care of it. He said he will run right over there and get the water shut off so no further damage will happen until he can get in there to actually fix the issue in the morning. If things don't run as smooth tomorrow, I will update my post, but for now, I am very happy!

Honest and great service! Would recommend James to anyone in Eastern Oregon. Great hometown service.read more

Came out to give an estimate on switching 40A feed from one meter to another on the same pole…read more Quoted me $300-350- under 400 since had to add a breaker box also. I said $300 sounded reasonable and Steve said he could do that. Told him it was no hurry. Within a week received several calls from the installer. The information he was given was incorrect including was told to reconnect the abandoned well I repeatedly said not to during original estimate. Got it done quickly once we got it straight. Quoted for a 40 amp connection, billed $500 for a 60A and installed a 20A! Called Steve when I got the bill. Said he quoted me $400 not $300 and didn't think it was a big deal to add additional $100 because the idiot neighbor complained to him as he doesn't like that I have an easement. Dropped it to $400 and I still have to rewire it to get back the 40 amp feed.

Maybe one of his competitors hacked it, I wouldn't know about such things, but according to the "fake news" it happens eh? This fella can do it. Doesn't matter what the job is, large or small.

You feel like putt'in a broderick on em' when your cabbage is spent and the job is fall'in apart. Yeah, those palookas. I've not yet found a job he can't get done.

Call if you are even thinking about some project cause this dude is busy, busy, busy. Don't end up behind the eight-ball. I mean if you want it done right the first time. No con's here, an honest estimate for honest labor. Simple isn't it? You'se can read my reviews here on yelp. I never flim flam when I write. I says what happened to me. I'm not particularly easy to please. If you make me happy, do what you say you will, I try to pass that along. If you don't walk the talk, or "the force is weak in you" well you know the drill. Folks trust'in other folks, it takes a village someone said, and that's no bunk. Call ol' Grant and ask him how much, when, where and so on. Tell him Hammer sent cha', might cost a couple bucks more if yas do that and still worth it. Or do this, dial up someone else, do the same thing and when it's done shhhh ... hear that? It' me laugh'in.
