Their plumber refused to guarantee that it would stay unplugged for more than a few days. Basically he told me he had cleared it and they can't guarantee drains for more than a few days as they don't know what people will try to put down their drain. If he had actually pulled something back I would have been ok with this but because he didn't I was unhappy that he wouldn't guarantee it. I understand their position but from my perspective the guarantee should still have been longer than just a few days. As a result, I will not use these guys in the future.

At 7:20 am, I was called and told that my service person was headed out and would be there in about 45 minutes. Ninety minutes later, no one had arrived, so I called the dispatch center. They repeated that the service person was on his way. My service provider, John Cronin, arrived between 9:30 and 9:45. I showed him the poorly draining shower and mentioned one toilet had been getting stopped up recently, and asked him about a shower head that seemed to be leaking. He was happy to do the shower and toilet, but he indicated the leaky shower would probably be more involved (and more expensive). He quoted me a price for the shower drain, and took $50 for the coupon I had received by email. For a secondary service (the toilet), he was able to give me a 10% discount. I decided not to do anything about the leaky shower. I mentioned that I needed to be out of the house by 11:30, and he reassured me that he should be done within 90 minutes. He wore booties while inside the house. He did the shower first, and nicely requested a paper bag rather than dumping the drain mess into the wastebasket in the bathroom. Then he offered to do all 3 toilets in the house for the price of one additional service, which was great.

Not sure what happened this time if they hired a new person or something to do the install. You would think that since this time we purchased better quality windows/doors that they would install them properly, but we've had to call them to come out and fix the french doors already a couple times since early October, but for some reason still didn't resolve the issue. The locks were missing on the screen and they had to order the parts and both French doors and screen doors were installed tilted and was causing the doors to scrape against each other. They came back to fix it and the wood piece at the bottom was cracked. But it was still tilted a bit and both french doors and screen doors have one side a bit higher then the other. My mom called out the Anderson window company and they examined what the issues were. Basically, they were NOT installed properly and said that they need to replace the french doors that is most likely has an issue due to the install. Anderson was going to work it out with Alexander Windows. Not sure what happened, but now Alexander most likely isjust going to fix it and not replace which was originally suggested by the Anderson company. Last night as I was washing the dishes, I saw the sealing on the inside of the kitchen window is not straight and you can see that it wasn't sealed completely in certain areas which makes it look like it's not straight around the windows. In addition, we found small holes throughout the wood windows & doors. There's chips as well & a huge crack at the bottom of the french doors that I have pictures of if I can post. I have Anderson wood doors & windows in my own place and none of them have little nail looking holes & wood chips, think standard is they should be patching those holes up. We're hoping that they will resolve these issues soon since my mom is extremely disappointed this time around.

Since it didn't take too long, I asked if they had time to fix my dripping tub faucet, which I assumed was a fairly straight-forward repair. Well, they went to the hardware store 2 times for washers and still couldn't fix the drip after a couple hours. I was told that they don't make washers anymore that will fit my 1950s plumbing. Jacob did not charge for the unfixed tub drip but I offered a generous tip. I later regretted this because: After they leave, I discover that though the drip wasn't fixed, my shower had suddenly lost half its previous water pressure. They actually made things worse! I had to go out of town the next day and also felt embarrassed to call them back since I was already made to feel guilty about how much time they'd spent on the drip.

"We were looking to remodel our kitchen or bath for a few years. We kept getting estimates from different companies and always felt the price was off or the person was not a good fit. Then, finally, we met Shai with Cal Green Remodeling. What a great guy! He is very upfront and honest about what we can expect in terms of cost and work flow. Because of his honest approach, we hired him. We felt he gave us the good and bad and how to resolve the bad as well. In the end, the process was fairly smooth, and the few hick-ups we had, for example, the city and their permit process, were well explained to us at the beginning, so we were ready. Our kitchen or bath looks amazing, and I plan to work with Cal Green Remodeling again. Thanks Shai!"

FAQs for french drain service projects in San Mateo, 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.
