Dwayne worked for us for nearly 20 years, well he actually worked for 14 of those years. His new pictures with the yelp web-site include pictures of equipment that Bob installed and that Dwayne is not qualified or licensed to install. His work has suffered drastically over the years. I would not recommend him to anyone.
He is not reliable nor continuing the wonderful, consistent, honest quality of work that Bob built our reputation on and which Bob taught him from start to finish (when he came to us with no skills whatsoever). He is not RHEEM or RUUD qualified or trained and his installation skills which he did not participate much while with us are sadly lacking. He has no installation know how, doesn't understand the technical aspects and his guesses have been disastrous. After he was sent out to find his own way he came back to ask Bob to teach him how to do an installation.
He has neglected many of the legal aspects such as getting the necessary licenses, electrical, plumbing, boiler or continuing education necessary to complete any even simple installation.
He has built his business on our reputation and sweat without doing the work necessary to guarantee that what he does is right and legal and to treat the customers he took from us with the respect that they deserve. When you care more about making money than about doing the job that the customers deserve for calling you in the first place, you are doing everyone a great disservice. We have been here for 42 years because Bob cares more about his reputation than about how much money he can make. Dwayne unfortunately has forgotten what made the business he tells people he bought and didn't, so successful with such faithful customers that we have.
While we wished him well in his endeavors upon his leaving, we also are hoping that he takes some classes and takes his business seriously with more than taking money for retirement in mind. We still wish him well and hope that he takes stock to remember what Bob taught him. read more
