    Martin C.

    Zero stars for a response to an issue found. Work done in 2023 at our house resulted in a cut wire that required $132 fix and urine left in a bottle under the house. Still have not received the confirmed reimbursement form over a month ago or a response to several emails since then.

    This is the condition Elite left the job site, never to return back and complete the leveling, texturing and painting.

    3 stars - Meh...OK. The work was to fix the leaking shower head in the bathroom. I was offered 2 quotes. 1] To diagnose the problem and try to fix the showerhead. But I was told there was no guarantee it would work ($400). So the other option was 2] Replace the whole shower system for around $3500. The initial visiting fee of $189 would be adjusted into this amount if I went for the whole replacement. I fell for the upsell. The quote they provided was 15% higher than the 2nd quote I got. However, their promise was to also complete the drywall work as best as a plumber could. The hassle of having to find a handyman to do that work tempted me into accepting the higher-cost item. The work itself went at a very slow pace with the installer (Robert) taking a full day (around 8 hours) to replace the shower system. He took the brass/copper connecter with him (apparently they have good resale value). His promise was to return the following day to level the drywall. Surprise #1...I was supposed to buy the spray paint required to texture the wall...something they said they would take care of in the beginning. Surprise #2.....Robert demanded 100% payment even before the work was completed. This after I had paid 10% down. Surprise #3....The initial visiting fee of $189 was NOT part of the full amount. A phone call to Robert's supervisor, Alexander fixed that 3rd problem. It did not come as a surprise that the following day Robert never showed up and Elite rooter abandoned the drywall work. Ultimately, I ended up hiring a (good) handyman to get the drywall fixed. I contacted their service email and got a reply from Trisha. After providing her my home address, there has been total silence...no replies. Since 16th June 3 reminders later, it clear to me that this is an organization that is out to make a lot of money while offering mediocre service. Caveat emptor!

    I needed a drain cleaned out. Elite was on time and did the job swiftly for a reasonable price. I will call them again when needed.

However, Martin from Affordable Hydro Jetting was able to clear the obstruction from the drain opening, saving us from invasive and costly operations. He was very diligent and thorough throughout the whole process, explaining everything clearly in person and also via his completion report. We could not be more satisfied.

    The short review is this: Martin is a wizard! He sucked a 2 lb. Piece of metal out of my main line…read morewith a shop vac, saving me thousands of dollars in repair costs! The details: I called Martin after a clog removal by another company went sideways (probably the topic of a no star review in the future). The first company identified where the problem was, but also caused a spill of sewage inside the house, then quoted me $5k to dig up the pipe and really fix the problem. To no one's surprise, I wasn't happy. So I called AHJ for a second opinion, and Martin answered the call. He spent a good 20 minutes on the phone, asking me detailed questions about the problem, and explaining my options (the other company did none of that). He made no guarantees, but said he thought he could solve the problem, so I asked him to have a look. He was at my house within 3 hours. The line had two objects stuck inside, causing backups. Martin worked to jet out one of the objects out, then used a camera to inspect the entire 80 ft. length of the pipe. The second object was still there, though, and it looked like digging was the only option. However, this is where the real magic happened! The second object was about 12 ft from the clean out, and it was not budging. Martin, however, thinks outside the box. He got out a large shop vac and stuffed the hose down the line. With the help of his camera he aligned the end of the hose with the obstruction and started up the vacuum. It took a while and was not easy work, but Martin eventually pulled out a 8" long, 2 lb. solid steel spring! That's no exaggeration (How that got in there I'll never know). It was Amazing! He also documented everything with his camera and thoroughly explained everything that we could see. So, I now know all about the good, and the bad, of my main sewer line, should any future problem arise. Thank you, Martin, for the exceptional service!

I will never use another plumbing company again--Discount Plumbing has earned my business for life. Another plumbing company came to my home and told me I needed a $20,000 sewer line replacement that had to be done immediately. Thankfully, before making such a huge investment, I decided to get a second opinion. Jason came out, thoroughly inspected everything the previous company claimed was wrong, and discovered that none of it was true. He showed me that my sewer line had already been updated and was in great working condition. I didn't need the work at all. I still can't believe I was nearly scammed out of $20,000. As a younger single woman, I've always worried about being taken advantage of when it comes to home repairs. Jason and the entire Discount Plumbing team completely restored my faith. They were honest, professional, transparent, and put my best interests first instead of trying to sell me something I didn't need. If you're in a similar position and want a company you can truly trust, I cannot recommend Discount Plumbing enough. It's such a relief knowing there are still businesses that operate with integrity. I've already told my dad, his friends, and all of my friends about my experience, and we're all switching to Discount Plumbing going forward. Thank you, Jason, for your honesty and professionalism. You saved me $20,000, and you've gained a lifelong customer!

    Emilio and his service really lived up to the namesake of his company…read more I had a straightforward clogged shower drain. Long story short: The cost was $150. (Which is great, considering that when I hunting around for other plumbing companies, I was getting quoted for less than $350, of which the plumber first had to come for a consultation, then book a separate date to actually do the work). I made an appointment with Emilio and Awesome Rooter & Plumbing a few days in advance. Emilio arrived 10 minutes early. He had shoe covers and was very prepared. I thought I was only going to get a quote, but Emilio brought along his handheld drill-based drain snake. Emilio took a look at my clogged drain for 5 minutes, suggested we use his snake. He did it right on the spot, and it took less than 10 mins, and had my drain running smoothly again. 30 day warranty on his work. I would definitely recommend Emilio and Awesome Rooter & Plumbing for straightforward drain clogs.

    Contacted this company last night regarding a backup that was affecting both sinks in our kitchen…read moreusing the request quote form on Yelp. Sent a photo of our drain and pipe setup below our kitchen. Emiliano replied within minutes with availability and a range for an estimate. Provided a one hour scheduling window (AWESOME!) and showed up on time this morning. Cleared the clog and took a look at a faucet drip we were having in another room. Made recommendations on dealing with that issue. Was done within 45 minutes! Price was on target to original quote and communication was excellent. Thank you for going above and beyond.
