I have used McKinney Plumbing numerous times. Several times I have had to have them come back to…read morerepair what they fixed because it was already leaking on the same day they fixed what ever I needed fixed. (I have owned many homes at the same time here for years) What really burned me was the last bill I got from them. They charged me over $450 for a small (less than an hour) job they did for me. How did they get the bill that high you may ask? They itemized every thing in lieu of their hourly rate. Mind you that I had everything they needed to complete the work on site. I have had numerous rental homes in the Joplin area for over 10 years, so I am not exactly a novice. I had never had them bill me in this fashion before. My husband and I were obviously not happy. My husband tried to call Gary to no avail. I agree with AJ that Gary avoids discussions about his billing practices. I paid the bill on the same day the work was done, as I always do. That was the last job they will ever do for me. They lost our business because of GARY MCKINNEY'S unwillingness to have a conversation about his apparently new billing practice. Had I known that he was going to Itemize everything on that visit there were several things (nearly all) I would have done myself. HOMEOWNER BEWARE if you choose to use their services you may encounter the following: Repeated calls to fix the same issue that they just fixed. Billing practices that are inconsistent. They may bill you one way one time and then a totally different way another time. Stonewalling when you have a problem that you would like addressed. Gary will not talk to you if you have a problem. Now, obviously my experiences with them have not been all negative. I'm just saying beware. Good Luck!

What started as a 5-star experience has sadly become a 1-star (zero star?) experience and a…read morerecommendation to not do business with this company. It has to do with communication and honesty and follow-up. We had a great experience with Gary's crew when fixing some plumbing issues at a rental property we invested in about a year and 1/2 ago. They were timely, they did solid work, the price was reasonable, and the quote, invoicing and payment process was easy. Cut to 3 months later and we had gone out of town for work for 5 months. Our adult daughter was house sitting. The temperature dial on our shower broke and we told her to call Gary. He sent someone out who wanted to take the part away to do some research, but we had already done the research and knew that the thermostat needed to be replaced. It would've been (was, ultimately by another plumber) about a 1-hour job. Even though our daughter asked the plumber on-site to not go do any research, he took off and started making calls and visits to figure out how to do what we'd already said needed to be done. We never heard back, so we had another plumber come and do the job... that was until we received a bill for $170 for the plumber's time to do research we didn't need performed. Originally the bill was coming to our daughter's boyfriend (who signed for the quote visit), and when the first one arrived, I called long-distance to talk to them to explain the bill amount was bogus and we'd pay for the house-call. I left 2 messages and never got a reply. When we got back, I got another bill, finally in my name, and called them twice before speaking to a gal in their office and re-explained what had happened. She said she would have Gary call me back to discuss and we left it at that. He never called back... I don't know why, I was nothing but courteous and professional, and felt it was totally fair to pay for the house-call. We planned on doing years of business with this man and his company. Now it's months later and I've had to leave town again to care for an elderly family member out of state, and now my daughter sends me a picture of a bill... the bill that I never got the call back on has been turned over to a collection agency. Unbelievable! No calls back and instead of facing me and discussing what happened, he just writes off our family and our business and sends the bill to collections. I run my own small business, and I would never do this to a customer, so I'm sad to be writing this review. This guy is willing to lose lifetime customers - not only me, but my family and friends born, raised and still living in Joplin over what amounts to $110. It's petty, incredibly rude, and bad business. I don't recommend hiring Gary McKinney plumbing even though their work is solid, because their backbone is not.

And listen... best decision I've ever made besides coming out and getting a Dyson. The plumber showed up ON TIME (which in gay time is basically early), smelled like cedarwood and confidence, and fixed my sink like he was auditioning for HGTV. He even complimented my houseplants?? Like sir, do you want a tip or a date? The job? Flawless. My pipes haven't been this tight since Beyoncé dropped "Homecoming." Water pressure? Giving power top. Clean-up? He left the place neater than when he came in. I almost cried. So yeah. Call it fate, call it branding genius, but this gay went with GayLen and I will NEVER go back.

I had recently had a number of bad contractor experiences, and talked frankly with Tim about what I expected. His work proposal was open and complete with costs for each function by room, in case I decided to not do the whole thing. I paid 50% of the cost up front, which is standard, but Tim wouldn't take payment until a week before the work was to start, since I booked it about a month in advance. The two painters assigned to do the work are professional, personable, skilled, and have wonderful work ethic and pride in what they do. Ethan and Isaiah never missed a work day, and allowed us to direct which part of the house would be painted each day. They are a joy to have around. They moved heavy objects and put back everything that they moved. ABE Paint Team is the best contractor I have worked with in the 2 1/2 years since I moved to Missouri. If you hire them, you will get honest, hard working people, and reasonably priced quality work.
