The first plumber we called took one look and quoted a $4k replacement... we decided to contact Evo for a second opinion and we're so glad we did!

Evo was able to repair our water softener at a small fraction of the cost and was very transparent and reasonable with pricing.

Eduardo and his team at Soft Patagonian made the entire process easy. From the start, Eduardo was responsive and patient with my many questions -- and I had a lot of them.

I'm done with this and will not engage further. Thank you all for reading! *UPDATE*: Tim's response to my review speaks for itself. Defensive and guilt-tripping! If I were the biz owner, I'd just apologize for the miscommunication. I'd have totally updated the review to 4 or 5 stars. I'm not even lowering my rating after his response; I'd rather stay fair than reactive. *ORIGINAL REVIEW*: I'm giving three stars because Tim, the plumber, was very nice, professional and helpful when we spoke on the phone. Unfortunately, the administrative side handled by Jade was a different story. I had booked an appointment for a drain clog and disposal repair but managed to resolve the issues myself. I messaged Jade to cancel with over 24 hours' notice to be respectful of their time and even followed up the next morning to ensure they saw the message so they wouldn't waste a trip. Instead of a professional acknowledgment, I received a lecture about how they "don't double-book" and that my 24-hour notice was "last minute." Not double-booking is standard for any plumber, and it shouldn't be used as a reason to guilt-trip a client for providing a full day's notice, especially when no specific cancellation policy was ever disclosed at booking. The response was dismissive, ending with a "wish you luck in the future." It's unfortunate because I actually had a second, larger project (a shower leak) I was planning to hire them for, but the unprofessional attitude from the office makes it impossible to do business here. If you hire them, just be aware that being respectful of their time might still result in a lecture if your plans change.

I…read morereached out to Jade twice for my water heater issues, first time because I felt the hot water isn't warm enough (my husband felt it is warm), Tim came to my house very quickly and he taught us how to flush the water heater so it will be more efficient. My water heater is about 20 years old so I prone to replace it at that moment but Tim said old water heater quality is better than current water heaters, and the old water heater is still working, I shall keep it until I have to replace it. Today I reached to them again as my water heater didn't work suddenly. Jade and Tim are really responsive and efficient: we had a call after I send several pictures to them, Tim identified the problem right away and guided me to check and fixed the problem in 7 mins! I swear I have no knowledge/experience in handling water heater issues but with Tim's expertise, the problem was solved in minutes. I asked how to pay to them but they refused. I want to say they are not only operating a business but also very kindhearted and always willing to help. They are running businesses sincerely and I hope their business runs longer and longer as I am pretty sure I will reach out to them for my old (already 22 years) water heater someday.

They brought a new water heater and replaced it, and took our old one out. Super efficient. In regards to the price, it was what it was, but I looked up the water heater and it wasn't a super crazy markup to what they charged us plus labor, so I'm not complaining.

He then asked my wife the same thing before ever even looking at the furnace. Once he looked at the furnace he said he would fix it temporarily but get me the quote for the new unit. I was originally told $5246 then when I called the company the owner/GM told me oh you wanted us to run it through your insurance? Well I'll let them know we went out twice so they understand it needs replacement. I was confused at first so I was finally able to get a hold of a friend to come look at it that does HVAC and he said this unit is very clean internally and it's a capacitor and a small clog in the vacuum pump. It ended up being a $250 fix and told me I shouldn't have an issue with it for 5-7 yrs. I then receive an amended quote letting me know the replacement would be $3700. I have of course canceled them and requested a refund. If you are in the market stay clear of this company and their sub contractor. MS Services INC. DBA Same day air conditioning.

He found (what he thought at the time) was the issue, got the parts, and repaired it in 4 hours. We thought everything was good and paid $375 for the repair. We ran the washer later that night and found there was still an issue. We reached back out and he said he'd come back the next day after his other jobs. Communication started lagging here. He initially told us he'd come between 4-6, but didn't say anything til 6:30. Came ~7pm and worked on the washer again. About 1.5 hours later, found another issue and said he'd come back Monday. On Monday, I reached back out and he wasn't super responsive. Heard back that he was at the store getting the part and that's the last we heard from him. We've reached out several times via text, Yelp, and phone call. We've left multiple messages and he's completely ghosted us. I should've done more digging into his past bad reviews, because this is consistent with those. I recommend finding someone else. It's not worth the chance of not getting your appliance fixed AND being out money. We could've just bought a new washer at this point.

He mentioned I need to change a part and he was going to submit the order invoice with my home warranty for them to approve. Upon approval, he went ahead and ordered the part beginning of Sep. Since then, the company has not given me an update although initially before ordering the part, they mentioned it should be delivered in less than a week. I have tried calling and reaching out to them over messages, the phone number listed is always switched off and they never reply back. The last thing as a customer you would want is pay these guys and wait for a part and they vanish completely. It's been over 3 weeks and I still have no communication from them. Very unprofessional. Would proceed with a diff service technician at this point as the job could be easily done in 3-4 days turn around time. Sorry ! Update 2: Based on the review feedback from Mark, if there is any delay in parts order, I think it is basic sense to inform the Home warranty company (who gave the service technician vendor the job) as well as the customer with a more accurate timeline. During the time of charging the service fee for diagnostics, it was mentioned the part should be delivered in less than a week. If this was completely off, an immediate timely update would be appreciated. Last, I am not sure how a business runs when they are not reachable on the phone ever, nor any correspondence through messages. Sorry! That's not at all an average customer experience, let aside a good experience.
