"On time, did the job quickly. Was not expecting the 'additional fees' they quoted after arriving. Especially when they asked 'did the office tell you about ...?, which they did not. So, quote of $535 turned into $880 after the 'tank opening fee $75', the 'filter cleaning fee $65', the 'wash tank fee $65' and 'extra water fee $140'. Pro tips 1) ask what the added charges will be 2) uncover the tanks yourself 3) spray down the solids tank (hose water) and 4) clean your own filter before contractors arrive, save yourself $345."

Hester Plumbing
Hester Plumbing
Hester Plumbing is a residential plumbing company. We specialize in all general plumbing repairs as well as bath and kitchen remodels. We are a licensed, bonded and insured plumbing company.
"I would not recommend Hester Plumbing for the elderly. Brian, the owner was arrogant and curt, always in a hurry, and spoke very rapidly. I believe he is driven by money, not customer service. He told us not to go through Angi and to cancel our install with Lowes after he found that there was no way to install a switch without getting an electrician involved. We also had a couple of other small jobs we needed done. He said to buy a starter and he left. We bought the starter at Lowes and cancelled the install. He said e would install the disposal and do the other small jobs when he returned. We waited a couple of day for him to call and set a new appointment. We the missed the appointment because of an emergency. I apologized. He called several days later and we set another appointment. He was fast and efficient during the time he was here and charged us for the missed call. That was fair, but he never disclosed that he would do that. I discovered it when I questioned the bill. Anther plumber told me up front that we would be responsible for a $90 service fee, for the visit plus labor and materials. The $90 would be applied to the final bill. Brian disclosed up front that by putting the hole in for the start button, there was a chance it could shatter the sink. I pictures our sink in pieces, but we gave him the go ahead. When he left, he did not point out that there was a small chip by the start button and I did not do a close inspection because it was obvious that the sink was not in shatters. When I thought Brian's install could have created another issue that arose after he left, I left a humorous VM message. He called and pointed out my error. I apologized. He did not accept my apology or get my sense of humor, nor give me time to explain. He was in a hurry to reinforce how wrong I was. I said goodbye in tears and then texted him saying that there was a chip in the surface of the sink where he installed the disposal start button. I was concerned that water might leek through into the cabinet. I asked if needed silicone caulking. He never replied. If he had given me a yes or now answer, I could have done the silicone my self. It he gave good customer service he would have returned do the caulking."

"I had a horrible experience with Temperature Control. My AC stopped working on July 3rd 2023, I hired Temperature Control to diagnose the issue. I already suspected it was the blower fan motor, and Tony the Tech from Temperature Control confirmed my suspicion. However, he made it sound like a nightmare, claiming it was a rare "legacy" part that would be extremely difficult and expensive to obtain. He even went so far as to say he couldn't provide an accurate estimate. After disappearing into his truck, Tony returned with what he called "4 options" for me, each with shockingly high prices ranging from $2,186.43 to a staggering $21,874. The fixed included a $701.55 charge to clean the blower wheel. As if that wasn't enough, he then tried to convince me to purchase a completely new AC system, persisting for about 30 minutes. Seeing through their tactics, I told them I needed time to think and sent them away. Refusing to be taken advantage of, I decided to call another company for a second opinion. They promptly examined my AC and fixed the issue for a mere $560, which included a simple cleaning of the blower wheel using a basic hose. I asked the other company if it was a hard blower motor to obtain and they stated that it was the most common motor. In my opinion, Temperature Control operates in bad faith, preying on people in vulnerable situations. Their attempt to exploit my urgent need for AC repair by proposing exorbitant prices and pushing unnecessary replacements is utterly despicable. I strongly advise others to steer clear of this company and seek more honest and reputable alternatives."
