UPDATE:
First and foremost, I wrote working my finance up in the mindset that he was up-selling her on a service that we did not feel was needed by scaring her with an issue we were both upset about - the handyman was very respectful of my fiancé and kind while speaking with her, just overly pushy on the sale. I am sorry for those this may have concerned, and will do better to push my point across in the future.
I am changing my review score due to the incredible customer service, care to attention, and immediate response I received from the executive team and owner of Plumb Doctor. They called with their concerns, regarding my previous review, and wished to discuss the differences between the two stories received from their handyman and myself. To be honest, Plumb Doctor explained that their prices were considered fair to what they offered as a company, and that even thought the employee had stated that it could reach a ridiculous price, they would do their best to work out the most affordable option. They asked for photos of the mess, which is fair as we had started cleaning immediately after he left, but the photos we did have they explained it was their policy to remain tidy and that they would take more care in the future to ensure that trucks and employees were stocked with necessary cleaning materials.
My remaining concern is the vagueness of the associate that did write down a total between $3500 and $6500, but off record stated it could be more; and the untidiness and lack of cleanliness.. However, I stand by, that you will get what you paid for and in conclusion, it may be the best of the best, but our experience this time turned our services toward another company.
Thank you Plumb Doctor for immediate response and great customer service.

Seriously disgusted with the experience we had. We called the plumbing company on Sunday to get a quote and have someone come out, to assess a pretty serious plumbing issue, and they said they would make it out Tuesday. Well, they squeezed us in on Monday while I was at work and found out the guy was here working my fiance up, who works from home. He pulled up our toilet, put his filthy hands all over our clean walls, and made a complete mess of our bathroom. As if that isn't bad enough, he went down to the basement after snaking our now toilet-less hole in the floor, knowing our pipes were full of water, and opened an access valve letting all of the water drain on our floor and hitting the inside of our unfinished basement and insulation. Upon putting everything back he described we were looking at, at worse an $8000 job for them to dig up our front yard to just see if there were roots going into our pipes. Clearly. we declined the job offer in which he let us know we would still owe him $600! We called 3 companies following him leaving and they all told us the guy was out of his mind! That he did not have to remove the toilet, that he should have cleaned up after himself or been better prepared for the job he was doing, and that they could look for roots in our pipes without it costing $8000.
I am seriously pissed off and overly disgusted with the job that was performed in our house and believe that you should definitely call around to other places, ask plenty and plenty of questions, and do not let anyone who needs to see what they are handling first do any job in your house without actually looking at the problem first.
