Our agreement on the phone was for a flat fee of $375.00 and never indicated in any way there would be any additional charges. He charged an extra $100.00 for stripping the tub and didn't fill in any of the scratches. When the appointment was scheduled he made no indications that he needed any special prep for the tub. He complained about the tub being wet and he wanted the drain removed. He also had a really bad attitude.

Technicians arrived on time. Lead Tech found that my tank was plugged and wouldn't drain. He told me I needed to replace the plastic drain hatch and safety valve $260 ($195 safety $65 drain). After several comments about my lack of maintenance I asked him how much to replace the whole unit. He estimated $988. Later he told me $200 to replace the magnesium rod. In order to determine whether to repair or replace I asked him what I might expect in terms of remaining life on the unit if I repair it versus replacement. Again, he went on about me not draining the unit annually. I had to ask him at least 3 times to move beyond my past and just answer my question about the expected life of a repaired unit versus a new one. Finally, after him telling me that ALL his clients drained their units annually I started crying. I am on a fixed income so I was already stressed about this unexpected expense but to be repeatedly badgered about not draining the unit every year was just too much. I did not use them to make the repair because he made me feel awful about not draining my unit. If the company has sent someone who was more observant and respectful I probably would have hired them to make the repair or replace the unit. I called another plumber that I had used before who told me not to beat myself up over it. He offered to give me a 2nd opinion free, came out that afternoon, confirmed the need to replace the safety but not the magnesium rod. He told me he would replace the safety right now and since I had no leaks and was getting hot water I could set money aside to replace the unit. He would credit the labor from this job to the labor for the replacement job. So much nicer than React-Fast...and for far less. Bottom line...both times I purchased coupons off Angie's list I felt like they did not do what was described for the coupon but since I had to pay up front I had no way to know that all I was going to get for my money was an estimate. I am hesitant to purchase any more coupon offerings because I can get free estimates elsewhere.

We installed a roof over one small area of an upstairs porch and it needed to have a compound angle which Ralph (the owner of Kingsburg Roofing) was able to creatively help us to construct so that it would drain properly. Problems with his responsiveness started at the beginning of his working on the roof 4 YEARS BEFORE COMPLETION. We had hired him to repair/re-roof 2 areas of roof, one over the front porch and the other over the bathroom (both of these areas are single story, the remainder of the house is 2 story). When he gave us the estimate for these 2 areas we also had him give us an estimate for the entire house as well as our tank house. We agreed to the price for the first 2 roofing areas and when we saw the quality of his work agreed to have him do the entire house and tank house. Partial payment was required to pay for materials but early into the job (he had done only the 2 initial areas and the tank house) he requested an advance for a project he said he was doing on his home. My husband paid him nearly the full amount of the estimate. That is when the delays started. Long story short, he had one excuse after another for not coming back to complete the job - family deaths (2 different ones), illnesses, daughter wedding, grandbaby being born, crew gone to Mexico on vacation, etc. IT TOOK 4 YEARS TO HAVE HIM COMPLETE THE JOB!!!! Meanwhile we had water damage to our walls and ceilings inside the house from the old roof leaking, for which he took no responsibility. He also kept adding to the estimate so that in the end we had paid about $3000 more than originally quoted. I do think he did a good job but the frustration of waiting 4 years to have it completed was not worth it. Also we then had to deal with repairing all the water damage inside, something that we are still working on ourselves.

This is the third time we've used Pacific Plumbing and they get an A+. We called them and an hour later, four men were here. They had to flush out the entire water line from the street to the house. It took about 2.5 hours and then the toilets worked and the water had drained from the...
They were supposed to be here at 9, but were a little late. They said what we paid for would not cover the drain cleaning we needed and refused to honor the $99 deal and said it would be $250.

The main point; I was told by him that he wouldn't be able to fill in the deeper scratches but he could fill in the small scratches and smooth them out. And that it would look new but when rubbing my hand across the tub, I would still be able to feel the deeper scratches. When I got home...

FAQs for french drain service projects in Kingsburg, CA
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
