Over estimate of service
ERINN M.

"Had received a very overblown quote and was disappointed. It was 3x the amount of other providers. We were glad we had done our research." I have put back the review I originally posted due to the fact Yelp had told me I had tagged the wrong business. I was just notified yesterday so I'm reposting. My original review stands. Your estimate was 3 times the amount of the one we went with, honestly. I feel like people should know that. I'm not trying to be mean or rude or anything other than stating your estimate was astronomical. You have every right to quote whatever you want. Yelp gives me the right to review. That's how this works. I'm not trying to go after your company at all. I'm sure that the installation would have been great. We are happy we went with who we with. I'm sorry you are offended by my comment, I have not switched my Yelp account. I was notified I had posted wrong, I was reposting. I am sorry if I have offended you or your company. I have added your quote so people can see and judge themselves. I appreciate the comments on Yelp so people can see the different experiences and I am merely posting just my opinion.

Way over priced. Being charged $260 for split system repair which only took 20 minutes.

Today he helped quickly and accurately diagnosed a kitchen sink leaks. We highly recommend Paulie and S&J and are glad we are members with them!

Before I begin, I would like to say S and J is an honorable company…read more We are a retired couple, so the days of being handy and fixing things around the house are gone. We were experiencing a sewer smell every time we showered. Called S and J and they came out and diagnosed the problem as back up in our sewer line. The technician was very honest about the work that had to be performed. He had rodding equipment in his truck that would reach the street sewer. He could try it then or I could make an appointment to have the problem "hydro jetted". Because of the amount of backup, he couldn't guarantee that the work he would do could be done or if he would be just mixing the backup. I obviously opted for the hydro jetting. S and J came out and did the hydro jetting and cleared it out in about 4 hours. In doing so, they pulled out wipes that were in there from the previous owners. In the interim, I signed up for their maintenance plan. This cost was $19.99 month. It consists of 3 visits, one is making sure our sewer lines are clear, two is checking our hot water heater to make sure that its working properly and three is checking our sump pump. This is the honorable part...Paul came out to check our sewer line and was distressed to see that the original person did not clear out all the tree roots. He looked at the video that the original person did not do a good job. He told me to make an appointment for another hydro jetting and it would be on them. This is a professional company that takes care of their customers.

When it comes to messing with gas in my home I have a no hands policy. I called Green Tech to schedule an appointment and left a VM around 6:15. At 6:45 I got a call back. The tech was calling me from his mobile while driving into the office. He literally walked me through what I had to do. "Have you ever lit a gas BBQ? Same concept." Did as he instructed and BAM, we are back in business. Green Tech could have come out and charged me an hourly, which I was willing to pay for, but instead taught an old man a new skill. This is not the first time they have walked me through an issue, hence why I call them for anything plumbing related. Can't recommend Green Tech enough.

I've found it increasingly difficult to find service companies that are knowledgeable in their field, responsive, honest and provide excellent customer service. Not only did Green Tech Plumbing check all these boxes, but they also offer fair pricing. A unicorn of a business. After being overcharged and underwhelmed by our previous plumber, I was on the hunt for a capable plumber to install a whole house water filtration system. From the moment I reached out to Green Tech Plumbing, they were nothing but responsive and helpful. I purchased the filtration system from a vendor, yet Kevin willingly answered all my questions (promptly!) about the system. He even pointed out that one of the options had expensive filters that would need to be changed frequently saving me hundreds of dollars in filters. What a gem! Kevin came out to look at how the system could be installed in our space and talked to me through how the system would work and answered all my questions. He then provided a fair quote. Once our system was delivered, I emailed to set up the installation. His team came out the following week for the installation. The tech Kevin sent was just as helpful! He moved the 100-pound tank from the garage to the basement, which wasn't part of their scope. The tech had to make a run to the hardware store to buy connection pieces that weren't included with system, but he knew exactly what to buy and did so in a timely manner. The install was speedy and flawless. The tech was even willing to stay while I called the vendor's water filtration system customer service expert to walk us through the start up process. On top of this great experience, I wrote a check for the incorrect amount and Kevin responded right away saying he would swing by and drop a check in our mailbox for the overpayment. Unreal! This is how you run a company!

I asked SBJ Plumbing to install a vanity sink, drain and water connections. Brad did the install,…read moreand charged $1100 which I thought was high but I paid him right before he left. An hour or so after he left, I ran the water in the vanity sink and there was a noticeable leak. He said he would come back a few days later to take a look. He returned and tightened the connections. I again ran the water after he left, and again there was dripping under the drain so I asked him back again. He came back again and did some more tightening and said it should be ok now. I again ran the water after he left and there was still a drip. I then texted him saying that I would like a refund of $350 of the $1100 he charged because the pipes were still leaking and he had already claimed twice that the problem was fixed when it wasn't. He refused and then tried to gaslight me saying actually there was no leaking. So if you want a plumber who doesn't stand by his work, then this is the guy for you (My response to his comments): For the record, here is the text exchange between Brad and Me (and yes I did say "please consider giving me a refund because I don't want to give you bad reviews"--and that is a reasonable response on my part given that I received service that is below what the average person would expect [i.e. 3 visits by the plumber and the sink trap is still dripping]. (From Craig): Brad, The vanity is still leaking and I can't devote any more time to this project, therefore I am requesting a partial refund of the money you charged me. I think a $350 refund would be reasonable. Craig (From Brad): I disagree, the last 2 times I came over there wasn't even a leak. I have gone beyond being reasonable and in reality I should be paid for 2 service calls. (From Craig): Many would ask for a larger if not full refund under these circumstances. Obviously there was a very noticeable leak after the first visit and a much smaller but still noticeable leak after the next 2 visits. Please reconsider because I don't want to give you bad reviews

We had great experience coordinating with FUSE to repair the ice maker on our Viking refrigerator…read more They were very responsive to my initial request for a quote, including a call from a supervisor to hear more about the issue and try to issue a more informed estimate. (Ultimately unsuccessful, but I appreciated the effort.) The technician, Bek, was on time, courteous, and very open about explaining everything he inspected. In just under an hour, he was able to diagnose the problem and replace our ice maker, which he had on hand. One small critique-- it caught me a little off guard to see a tip option on screen when making my payment, but in this case I obliged, considering how well the whole appointment went. I guess that's just tipping culture these days! ‍

Vlad, the…read moretechnician, found out that he needed to order an additional part to fix it and would need to make an additional trip. I assumed he would charge for the follow-up visit, but there were no additional charges; I really appreciated his honesty. Recently, I had a text dialog with Russ and found out that Fuse service's HVAC systems as well. I agreed to an annual maintenance plan, but didn't plan on having them out until fall. A few weeks later, while I was out of town in July, I got a message from my Ecobee thermostat indicating that the A/C wasn't working. I texted Russ about this and he showed up after 6PM on a Saturday, the same day I texted him about the issue! He figured out what was wrong right away and just folded the service call into my annual service plan which was, as before with the dishwasher, very generous and much appreciated. I'm literally excited to have Fuse Service as my go to place for appliance repair and HVAC maintenance. I'm used to businesses asking me to write positive Yelp reviews and I don't mind that. But, Fuse did not ask me to write my review.
