"In response to this complaint we would first like to state the fact that the person making this complaint is not our customer nor was ever a customer of ours in the past. We have never been hired to do any work for this person at any time and have never made any representations of warranty or guarantees implied or in writing. In fact until we received an email complaint to our general information email box, we had never had any contact with this person. When we responded to the email complaint we stated that we would investigate the complaint and asked if there was any additional information that could be provided to assist us in our investigation and response…there was no reply whatsoever. In a second email when we needed additional time to look into these allegations we again asked if there was any additional information that could be added to help assist us in our reply, again no reply, no additional information. Upon uncovering additional facts during our one-sided investigation it became clear that the general claims and allegations were false, misleading and an attempt to coerce our company into paying for a new furnace under threat of postings of bad reviews. The furnace in question was at least 20+ years old. From the very first email and demand of compensation for a new furnace, this person was making threats that were based on false information. We have more than ample facts and proof that the allegations and innuendo made are not truthful as to our involvement or actions and responsibilities. The persons that are alleged to have looked at and denied warranty claims for the furnace that this person writes about are subcontractors for American Home Shield, a home warranty insurance provider which has had 4435 complaints filed with the BBB in the last 3 years! Our company has had 0 complaints with the BBB in the last 8 years…this is the first complaint and it is from a person that was never a customer of ours. In addition to the limited information we have provided in this response we have several pages of additional facts and information that we cannot provide in this forum that support our position of no responsibility and/or involvement with the allegations made regarding this complaint. We hope that the facts speak loud and clear in this complaint. We hope the person making these allegations come to their senses and retract the false and misleading complaints posted on this forum and all other postings. We have never had to take legal action against any customer in the history of our company and hope not to in this instance, but we cannot stand idly by while our hard earned stellar reputation is defamed. It is important to us as a company when we have not done anything wrong to stand for what is right and fair, we will not be bullied or coerced into any compromise because of unwarranted threats or actions using the internet and review websites to compensate someone for something we are not responsible for. Shame on you Angie’s List for allowing unverified reviews to alter our customer’s perception, par for the course as the ratings of Angie's List have plummeted in the past few years. Honest, clear, objective and factual information is welcome, but vindictive, misleading, untruthful trash talk should not be allowed"
It was not an emergency situation but I was pleasantly surprised to have them on site within about 3 hours of my initial call. I was given an assessment of the problem and although the garbage disposal we currently have is an inferior plastic model, I was not pressured to replace the unit. (Replacing the unit would have resulted in a bill of over $700 because apart from replacing the unit, some pipes would have to be changed)
The repairs were done fast and cleanly and we are very happy with the result.
Their pricing is probably not the least nor most expensive. They charge and give estimates based on the work being performed rather than the amount of time spent. The work seems worth the value. They did not rush through the work. They do give a 5% discount to Angie's List members and repeat customers.
Responsiveness could have been better. I had to leave a message on their voicemail initially to try to schedule, and no one ever returned my call. I was sent directly to voicemail with another attempt to call. After we got a hold of them in person by calling again, they were very helpful. I spoke to Konstantine on the phone, and he spent probably 15 or 20 minutes patiently answering my questions and providing helpful suggestions and information. Although it was harder to get a hold of someone, it was nice to speak directly to one of the plumbing professionals rather than a phone service or someone who just schedules and takes messages.
Follow up could be more responsive. Over 2 weeks later, they have yet to provide the DVD or write-up from the sewer inspection, which we paid extra to receive.
