"I am a repeat customer of Mr. Plumber. Called and scheduled a visit for replacement of rear hose bib."

"I am extremely upset and disappointed with the service provided by Alec, who initially contacted me through Angi List regarding a tree removal project at my residential property. On Monday, April 7, 2025, Alec visited my home and quoted me $2,000 for the removal of three trees, complete stump grinding, debris removal, and area cleanup. We agreed on a scheduled service date of Wednesday, April 9, 2025. On Tuesday, April 8, Alec called and asked to come early due to a cancellation. I declined because I needed to notify my neighbor. He came on the originally scheduled date, cut down the two trees, but only hauled away half the debris and did absolutely nothing to the stumps. He claimed to have applied a chemical that would decompose the stumps in three days and promised to return with help to complete the work. Alec then changed the total price to $1,800 because only two trees were cut. Despite my reservations, I paid the full $1,800 based on his promise to return on Friday, April 11, to: • Remove the remaining debris that was pushed into the woods, • Properly grind and remove the stumps, • Clean the area, • Repair the lawn with grass seed damaged by his equipment. Since then, Alec has been unreliable and unresponsive. I reached out multiple times via calls and text. He responded briefly, saying he was under a truck and would call back, he never did. On Saturday, April 12, I followed up again. He replied via text that he was dealing with truck issues and would return late Monday with help. That also did not happen. I had my son contact Alec from a different number, and he answered. Once Alec realized it was about the unfinished work, he quickly rushed off the phone and he said he would come on April 17. That date also passed without any response or action from him. Despite repeated calls and texts, I have been completely ignored. As of today, the job remains half-done. The stumps are untouched, debris is still scattered, and the lawn is damaged. It will now cost me an additional $1,200 to complete this time-sensitive project properly. This experience has been extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I am requesting a full refund of the $1,800 due to failure to deliver the agreed-upon services and for the stress, inconvenience, and additional financial burden this has caused."

"Didn't ever hear from then. Called and messaged."

"(TL/DR: We are happy with the work Cory did, and I would recommend him for your landscaping needs.) The theme here is "all's well that ends well." Cory is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, and he's very agreeable to work with. He and his crew work remarkably quickly, too, and the quality of work is very good. The job was not without its hiccups, though. Cory is not a proactive communicator, and that caused us some grief along the way. Without boring you with every detail, Cory and his crew got to work on Day 1, and by the end of Day 2, they had built an entire retaining wall on a line different from the one we'd talked about. He told me he had lain the foundation on Day 1 and, when he didn't hear from me, assumed it was correct and moved on to building the wall on Day 2. Problem is, he didn't inform me that I needed to review his Day 1 work (I never imagined that he would do the work differently than what we talked about when he met me for the initial estimate), or that he would interpret no word from me as acceptance of his work. The result was that he had to deconstruct the wall and then rebuild it along the correct line, which I'm sure was a lot of work, but he did it and did so cheerfully. This kerfuffle was unfortunately repeated, in essence, with the landscape stairs--building, followed by no word from him, followed by silence from me, followed by a discrepancy between what he built and what I wanted. This was especially frustrating, because, after the wall incident, he said he would take photos of the unfinished stairs and send them to me for approval before completing them. But, all's well that ends well: he and I met to discuss the issue, and then he and his crew redid the stairs to my satisfaction. To sum up, my experience with Cory is that he will make judgment calls, build, and hope it works out right rather than consulting you to see what you want and doing it that way (or telling you it can't be done that way for a particular reason). If you have a drawn plan that Cory can refer to, you may not have these issues, and perhaps I should have insisted on drawing him a plan when he didn't insist on having one before beginning work. Or, if you don't work during the day, you could oversee the work and give feedback as it's happening to prevent any issues from arising. But don't expect Cory to be proactive about communication. So, after all that, do I regret getting Cory to do the work? Absolutely not. He got it done quickly, did it well, did it for an excellent price, and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. And we are. We are very excited about the way things turned out, and we can't wait to use the back yard space that Cory helped us create. I would absolutely recommend him."
