Had Bubs out to fix two small leaks and prime our well pump. My mistake was letting them start…read morewithout asking for their rate or an estimate. Getting water running again was our priority but he suggested starting on the leaks. Not long after beginning, Bub's father told me they couldn't attach their fitting to the well line because water was coming through; realizing my well line is gravity-fed after beginning. I had to pull the well line above the water level myself before they could install a shut-off valve. My well cover is about 300lbs and the line is 8ft down. I'm not sure what their plan would've been if I was not there. After saying the water was flowing again, they later told me my pump was done for and not to run it. They quoted $925 for a new pump, not including labor. With two hours of labor, the bill also came to $925 and my family was no closer to having running water. The materials installed were six feet of copper pipe, several compression fittings, a shut off valve, and a pipe hanger. I called another plumber afterward, who knew right away (just from a phone call) that my pump was fine. He had it running smoothly in minutes by clearing a port of sediment and then adjusting the pressure switch. Bub talked a lot about his experience and showed up with help but needed me to find a way to stop the water in order to address the first leak and then either missed or ignored the step that would've gotten my pump working. Their website claims they're transparent and budget-friendly, but I wasn't told his extreme rate upfront, the bill wasn't itemized (still waiting 9 days after he confirmed he would), and I nearly paid for an unnecessary pump replacement. Leaving 2 stars because the copper work itself was solid, but charging $250 per hour for six feet of easily accessible pipe work feels unreasonable. Being given the wrong diagnosis on the pump was unacceptable and raises concerns about their expertise or honesty.

I was looking for someone to do a variety of jobs around my home. The person I normally use was too…read morebusy to take on any additional work, so I went on Google and found Rob the Pro Handyman. His reviews looked fine, but there were not many, Taking a chance, I contacted The Pro to see if he had time to take on my jobs. He would. Since I had not worked with The Pro before, I gave him some very simple tasks to do before asking him to do any of my larger jobs. When he arrived at my house, I showed him a bathroom vanity door that needed to be replace, a bookcase that needed three shelves to be stained and attached to the frame of the bookcase, a leaded glass piece I wanted hung in a window and a place under the front porch where I wanted one piece of lattice attached. All basic jobs. To do the vanity door and bookcase, I permitted The Pro to take them to his workshop to do the work. The next time I saw The Pro, he returned with a finished bookcase and the vanity door. Before bringing the bookcase in the house, a screw used to attach a shelf to the frame fell out. The Pro screwed it back in. When the bookcase was brought inside the house and set on the floor, another screw fell out. I told The Pro I would tighten the screw myself after filling the hole with wood glue. Next The Pro went to attach the replacement vanity door (which I had furnished). Though he had taken it to his workshop, he had not bothered to pre-drill the hole used to attach the knob. So, he drilled the hole in the bathroom. Then he asked me for the knob so he could attach it and I had to remind him he took it with him. He had forgotten and realized he had left it at his workshop and would need to go get it. I told him to get the knob and drop it off the next day and I would attach it. Then he left without addressing any of the other jobs I wanted him to do. The following day, he left the knob and the stain I had proved to stain the shelves on my front porch. Shortly after I got a bill for $200 which I paid through PayPal. A day or two later, I turned the bookcase upside down to fill the screw hole with glue and then secure the shelf with the screw that had fallen out. As soon as I turned the bookcase upside down, all three shelves came crashing down on top of one another. None of the screws held. The Pro had purchased the wrong size screw. I then learned that he had only stained one side of the shelves, had written on the bottom of a shelf, and had mismeasured where to place the screws that multiple screw holes were on the bottom of the shelve. In addition, the bottom of the shelf had small globs of stain on them. It appeared that The Pro had stacked wet stained shelves on top of one another. I reached out to The Pro to see how he wanted to resolve the issue. No response. After a short period, I made a second attempt. Again, no response. Next, I reached out to PayPal, and I sent a message through their system to The Pro. Once again, no response. Finally, I filed a claim through PayPal, they investigated my claim and found The Pro negligent and refunded my $200.

I also specifically requested a boiler tune up since I was unsure when it had been done last - having moved into the house within a couple of years. I was impressed because he responded quickly. We set up an appt for 11/1 so he could come out and take a look. He came over 8 AM the morning of 11/1, tried to light the boiler, diagnosed it as needing a new thermocouple (which is usually done on a tune-up as I had requested), then had to "go get parts". Hu? Why would you not have a thermocouple with you? Okay, he goes to the local hardware store and calls me to say neither they nor tractor Supply have it. He will continue looking. at 1:30 PM I call to see if there is progress - nope, he went to another job (which I get, really I do). Later he left me a message that he would need to get ahold of the mfg to see if they could find parts. 11 days later, I hadn't heard from him, so I texted to see if he had any progress. Crickets, more crickets, and even more crickets. The sad part is that he is recommended by Peerless (the mfg of my boiler), and a home improvement website. But I had to call someone else out to fix my boiler (and that guy had a thermocouple on him, which was all it needed). I gave him 1 star for responding to my request and the second star because he actually did make it to my place and it was on time.
