After another 20 minutes I received a second call, to let me know the technician would not be able to make it this evening, but they could have someone come out the next morning. At this point it was too late to find, research and call another service. Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Services claim of 24 hour operation should not be taken seriously. I did speak to a supervisor who offered 20% off service the next day. Based on this experience, I would not rely on Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Services for any emergency service.

They arrived on time. The work was okay, but they left a fair bit of mess on the ground. The charge was $180. I had already cleaned the low gutters (about a third of the job), but they said they would inspect the condition of the gutters, so it would save me no money that those ones had been cleaned. In addition, I asked for a quote for a small repair where a low gutter was holding water because it wasn't angled towards the downward drain pipe. I was told that the "position" of the gutter relative to the house was incorrect, which sounds like a grand way of explaining what I had already described to them what I thought the problem was. That was going to be $75 to rectify. I declined the additional work, got a ladder out of the garage, bent a couple of brackets (using no tools) and fixed it myself. It took me 5 minutes. Their work WAS acceptable and I liked the way they efficiently set up the appointment. But I was a little disappointed overall. You can probably get that level of service from anywhere halfway reputable. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ct/stamford/gutter-guys-llc-reviews-230601.htm"},"position":10}]}

I paid over $1,100 for what was supposed to be a deep cleaning and I am beyond disappointed. From the very beginning, I explained in detail what I needed and I was reassured multiple times that the job would be done properly. Instead, what I received was the opposite of professional cleaning....

Michael Wallace was able to come out on a Sat morning to fix a broken drain in our dishwasher & get our restaurant up and running by opening time. Thank you Wallace Handyman.
I hired this company to fix my baseboard radiator. They came out and quoted $1000. They took a $500 cash payment upfront. The next Saturday, they showed up, replaced the steam valve and shut off valve, and took the remaining $500. I requested that they adjust the radiator at an angle so that...
I see that my previous review for a boiler cleaning is still up; I think they are very good at what they do so I have used them for plumbing issues since that time. They installed a baseboard gas heating unit connected to my main boiler and it works quite well. Because it is on a separate...

FAQs for french drain service projects in Long Island City, NY
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.
