Richards was very responsive in the fact he called me a few minutes after I requested service via the website and he was at my house by 7:00 am the next day. However, he replaced both my main pump and back-up pump, and check valve when only the main pump and check valve on the back-up pump line needed replacing. He should've replaced the check valve before replacing the back-up pump so I ended up paying $200.00 more than what was originally quoted.

Sticks to quoted price regardless of unseen problems encountered,and will not leave until the job is finished perfectly. Plan on calling him back soon when we remodel a bathroom. Tops in every regard.

Robert Richards was timely (before time). Thorough by conducting test before draining. Discovered draining was not necessary. I appreciate his honesty; promptness; and extra preventive tips he provided. Plus his customer service manner was welcomed. I have already told my friends about Richards and will call him in the future again.

Richard was very nice, worked hard, and very professional, and the best thing was he was fair in price.. Not to low to make you wonder and not to high to make you really wonder.. I later hired him to do another job the same week and got the exact same professionalism from him.

Mr.Richards was AWSOME!!! Fast, professional and experienced! I hate trying to find someone to try and fix anything in my home b/c they always try and rip you off. A local family owned buisiness is the only way to go! He fixed a badly clogged double kitchen sink and a leaky, running, broken toilet in less than an hour, and didnt charge me an arm and a leg to do it!Thank you Mr. Richards! Donna L.

Mr Richards is a one-man operation and highly trustworthy in my opinion. He was not able to unclog my sewer line because it is broken and he does not do replacements. But he did give solid advise on my problem. My only complaint is that his cleanup in the bathroom was not quite up to my expectation.
