"**Unprofessional and Unreliable Service – Avoid Rooter Ranger** We had an extremely disappointing experience with Rooter Ranger. From start to finish, the job was plagued by poor communication, unprofessional behavior, and a lack of accountability. We feel misled, overcharged, and left with incomplete and subpar work. **Key Issues:** 1. **Invoice Inaccuracies** - The initial invoice labeled as an estimate was never updated to reflect the actual scope of work. We were charged for tasks, like concrete removal, that weren’t even performed. - Despite the work remaining unfinished, Rooter Ranger pushed to collect payment prematurely, making us question their commitment to completing the job. 2. **False Promises** - The company assured us they’d assist with the insurance process and provide a non-invasive solution for pipe repairs. Both claims turned out to be false. We had to seek external help for insurance, and despite promises, they wanted to damage our kitchen floor and we had to come up with a solution that came with additional cost unaccounted for. 3. **Dishwasher Oversight** - A critical error involving the dishwasher line was ignored until we identified it. This required additional, costly fixes that Rooter Ranger failed to cover or manage professionally. 4. **Workmanship Issues** - Structural mistakes, uneven concrete, and poorly installed plumbing were common throughout the job. For instance, toilets were installed improperly, and the master bathroom plumbing still leaks. 5. **Permit and Inspection Failures** - The permit process was mismanaged, leading to failed inspections. Rooter Ranger failed to communicate inspection results and left us to manage issues with city inspectors. At this point I still don't know if we passed inspection 6. **Unprofessional Conduct** - The revolving door of inexperienced workers made it feel like we were relying on unqualified friends rather than professionals. - We have called leaders, supervisors and directors about issues and everyone we have talked with has since dropped the ball and communicated property or taken any sense of accountability. In summary, our experience with Rooter Ranger was unacceptable. Their poor communication, unprofessionalism, and lack of quality control left us frustrated and forced to handle their oversights ourselves. We still have leaks, we feel we have been ripped off and still no idea we have passed city inspection. We would not recommend this company to anyone seeking reliable or professional plumbing services."

"They replied quickly. Arrived within an hour and was there for about an hour. They cleared the drain and replaced a part."

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

"Think of Mr. Fix-It personnel as jacks of all trades and possible masters of some. Recommend you check on/ask about the background of the person set to estimate your job and on the experience of the personnel that will be sent to do your job. You also need to be there when they start a job to ensure the personnel know what needs to be done, and at least when they supposedly complete it to ensure the job was properly completed. I had multiple jobs done and I discovered the estimator for all of the jobs was a painter. He provided knowledgeable answers to my paint related job but could not do that for the other types of jobs (e.g., stuccoing over wood, new flat roof covering, facia replacement). The estimates were not as detailed as they should have been, and I wonder how the estimator came up with the cost for the job. When the personnel doing the job arrived, I had to explain what to do due to the lack of detail – the estimator was not there, so no oversight continuity. In one case, a stuccoing job, the person sent to do the job said it could not be done the way I wanted, so we had to negotiate what he would do. There was no mention of adjusting the amount I paid at any time even though the actual work done was easier. As for the personnel sent to do the various jobs, I discovered most of them had no or limited experience doing the type of job they were sent to complete – in fairness, the painting related personnel were professional. In the case of my flat roof, part of it had to be subsequently redone properly by a qualified roofing contractor once I discovered water had seeped under the new roofing material applied. I learned the Mr. Fix-it personnel that did the roofing job had worked elsewhere for a year or two with no or little formal training. Would you want personnel that did not know what they were doing try to fix a job they did wrong? I asked for a partial reimbursement for the roofing job and the Mr. Fix-It owner did not agree to this compromise. Other examples of personnel issues showing a lack of experience and/or training involve improperly hanging ornamental shutters and not properly completing and cleaning up after a facia replacement job. In both cases I had to point out the issues, as no one in Mr. Fit-It management checked their personnel’s work. Someone did come out and address the issues I raised, but why should this have been done in the first case? Again, I recommend you think of Mr. Fix-It personnel as jacks of all trades and possible masters of some, then take all the precautions I suggested."
