he did the work fine, but never pulled permits. When the city called him
on it, he got angry with us and said we had ruined his good reputation.
He charged a fortune for just two hours of work, then said that he
would be back to finish some other items we needed done and never came
back at the appointment time. We tried to call him several times since
then and he won't return our calls. Very disappointed and has wasted
valuable time that we needed to have these issues fixed so our business could open.
"The member was supposed to remove this review due to leaving the post for the wrong company."
It took about an hour, went without a hitch and now the plumbing works again. Very punctual, very professional,
In less than 30 minutes they were finished and cleaning up. They clean the drain four times and ran the washing machine once through a cycle to ensure everything was working properly. They cleaned up nicely to the point you couldn't tell they had been there. They walked me through the billing and the details in a nice manner, and presented a couple programs for future use that would eliminate any after-hours calls and discount future billing.
I've had to call a plumber two times this year at two different houses in two different cities. Both times I have selected companies with good ratings from Angie's list and both times I've been blown away by the service.
I signed up for a service program for Mr. Rooter. I will recommend them and use them again.
We contact Mr. Rooter for a bid for the work above. They sent out a very nice young man to see what we wanted done and then told us we'd have a bid in a couple of days. Didn't hear back from them for over a week so I contacted them by phone. Said they'd get the bid right to us and I gave them my e-mail address. Still did not get a bid back so contacted them through their web site and finally got a bid with the excuse they didn't have the correct e-mail address. Bid was for $1800 to complete all work unless something unforeseen was found and came from Johnson Plumbing. I checked the address on the estimate and it was the same as Mr. Rooter so I assumed it was Mr. Rooter. We had used them before and were impressed. Needless to say, we were extremely disappointed this time.
Finally scheduled. Plumbers were to arrive first thing on September 11th. Finally arrived about 9:30 a.m. Two guys came, one stayed about 1 hour and then left to meet Bill Johnson. The other worked for a while longer and then sat in our front yard from over an hour waiting for the other plumber. Finally both got back to work about 1 p.m. but left about 3:30 p.m. because they did not have the necessary plumbing parts to keep working.
Came back next day arriving about 9:30. Both worked until 3:30 p.m. but had to leave to go pick up paychecks. One plumber came back for a few hours later in the day. Said job was done. We had decided not to have them set the toilet or the vanity in the master bathroom as we still had drywall work to do. Had to call them back a few days later when we went to put the shower head on the main bath as they had left out washers and water would not stop running even with water handle shut off.
Received invoice for $2400. $1200 in labor for original bid and additional $280 in labor for "unforeseen" items.
Materials from original bid were $600 with additional $320 for unforeseen items.
I requested an itemized list of materials which Bill Johnson refused to provide. Asked for the hourly rate which he provided to me at $40 per hour. The plumbers were here for a total of 22.5 hours which would amount to $900 in labor but he's charging me $1480 in labor. Have no idea how they might have used $920 in materials to run water and sewer lines for a bathroom that was immediately next to our current bathroom. In addition when we went to install our master bath vanity, they had installed the water lines backwards - the hot is on the right and the cold is on the left.
I am extremely disappointed with Mr. Rooter and Johnson Plumbing. Beware!
He was pleasant and informative about what he was going to do and then cleaned up after his service was complete.
Friendly
Gave price before e did work
A bit pricy
Overall, I was very happy with their work.
Can't remember exact date or price. Above are from the best of my memory
