Sorry Fred. I just can't recommend you. Not after you cost me over $600 down my basement. I guess a flooded basement isn't emergency enough for you.
This company is not reliable in anyway manner at all. I understand that people get busy as we all do. But really be upfront and let your customers know what's up that way they don't walk and run around your schedule all day.
First, I had called Fred to come in and look at the damage I had in my basement.. so we schedule an appointment and he never made it, rescheduling it to next week. No communication either for anuthing, whatsoever. He still never came until my pipes started cooperating again. Sad to report that it came back and the problem came back worse this time. My basement was completely flooded. Fred was called again, Since he was the closest plumber approved by the insurance that we have. This was an emergency situation. Fred said hell be around 11. Never came. Then it changed to noon, then it changed to one. At that point, my worrying was increasing since my furnace is sitting in the basement with the damn water. So now I called my heating and cooling man. Sadly there was nothing he could do since the stuff he needs to work on are under the water. He advised me that the water needs to come down and out before it completely fries the circuit board. In my worry I call Fred again and he says he's on his way. It's already 4 pm. So I call to make sure he knows where we're at, since we have a schedule to run around as well. This is when I find out that he's not the one coming around and he'll have one of his workers come around and Fred gave me his workers direct phone number. So, I call the guy, (nice guy by the way, seemed to have no problem coming out and running to my house) he explained that he was just now getting out from a previous work he had to deal with. this is when I realize that my house is most likely the last stop of the day.
All of a sudden I get a phone call from Fred screaming to stop calling him. I had been patient with this guy all day waiting for him to come around and this is what I get.
Fred, I've never met you and I'm sure you're a decent man. But for real, you lack professionalism. And I don't know how you run a business with an attitude like yours and how you still have customers. I did recently looked at some reviews from your previous customers and it looks like I wasn't the first to have to deal with a situation like this. To the young man I had talked to the phone working for Fred, more power to you.
While on the phone with Fred, I explained to him the damage and because he was very unreliable I had paid my heating and cooling guy to fix whatever he could fix to stop from making it an even more of a bigger damage from my furnace. I told him, him not being around on time that he's cost me 6 hundred and something dollars. He told me to stop, to just stop because he said what I had wasn't a big emergency. And I told him I was getting angry Cuz he's made me wait for him all day. ALL DAY! I was getting mad. My husband was getting mad. Fred was mad. He told me to apologize. Apologize for WHAT? I guess I had to apologize for calling. For calling where he's at and when he's coming. He kept giving me times and never did he came or showed up ones. And all of a sudden the said, We are not a scam! Who said you were a scam. I just wanted you to show up. Never did I said that he was a scam. And then he goes, you either apologize right now and I'll send my guy to your house if not I'll tell my guy to come home. I was so frustrated I told him not to show up in my house and never come to my house. Then I hanged up. I was so mad, I was actually crying when I got off the phone.
Sorry, after wasting my whole day waiting for you. I've ran out of patience of play with your game.
I called the insurance and told them what had happend. Luckily, they recommended an excellent company who came in right the next day to fix the problem.
No, please find someone else do fix your plumbing problems.
