    Zero stars for a response to an issue found. Work done in 2023 at our house resulted in a cut wire that required $132 fix and urine left in a bottle under the house. Still have not received the confirmed reimbursement form over a month ago or a response to several emails since then.

    This is the condition Elite left the job site, never to return back and complete the leveling, texturing and painting.

    3 stars - Meh...OK. The work was to fix the leaking shower head in the bathroom. I was offered 2 quotes. 1] To diagnose the problem and try to fix the showerhead. But I was told there was no guarantee it would work ($400). So the other option was 2] Replace the whole shower system for around $3500. The initial visiting fee of $189 would be adjusted into this amount if I went for the whole replacement. I fell for the upsell. The quote they provided was 15% higher than the 2nd quote I got. However, their promise was to also complete the drywall work as best as a plumber could. The hassle of having to find a handyman to do that work tempted me into accepting the higher-cost item. The work itself went at a very slow pace with the installer (Robert) taking a full day (around 8 hours) to replace the shower system. He took the brass/copper connecter with him (apparently they have good resale value). His promise was to return the following day to level the drywall. Surprise #1...I was supposed to buy the spray paint required to texture the wall...something they said they would take care of in the beginning. Surprise #2.....Robert demanded 100% payment even before the work was completed. This after I had paid 10% down. Surprise #3....The initial visiting fee of $189 was NOT part of the full amount. A phone call to Robert's supervisor, Alexander fixed that 3rd problem. It did not come as a surprise that the following day Robert never showed up and Elite rooter abandoned the drywall work. Ultimately, I ended up hiring a (good) handyman to get the drywall fixed. I contacted their service email and got a reply from Trisha. After providing her my home address, there has been total silence...no replies. Since 16th June 3 reminders later, it clear to me that this is an organization that is out to make a lot of money while offering mediocre service. Caveat emptor!

    Adhemar came out and did a great job with a drain issue we had. He was timely and professional. We highly recommend.

    Oscar was great, cleaned out a clog in my sink and educated me about what can cause clogs, and some maintenance I could do on my own.

    Today we had a service call from Handy Plumbing Man. The technicians were Patricio Lozano and…read moreBrayen Duenas. They were both very professional, courteous and honest. I have used this company in the past for my plumbing needs and would highly recommend them

    Had a camera inspection to check my aging sewer lines which revealed root incursion. I decided that…read moreit was time to replace the cast iron pipes to ABS. The initial sales, pricing, scheduling, and first part of work were all fine. They came on-time and finished the job on-time pending final city inspection. They asked for payment and I provided and then things unfortunately became very unpredictable. I had to keep calling the office to find out when the inspection was going to be. Then the inspector came but the Handy team did not show up. Also after they finished work I discovered I was missing a set of extension cord! Nothing else was amiss so I think they probably just used it and took it by mistake? The whole billing process was also weird where they never provided me the signed copy of the contract. Now I have 2 large holes and debris piles in my front yard with caution tapes for 2 weeks and counting. I should not have trusted these guys as much I guess, so be forewarned before you go through with these guys. 2 stars so far because I believe the crew's initial job is decent, but the sales and office coordination give me an uneasy feeling. It's too bad because I really wanted to like these guys and thought they did a good job initially. I will have to update this review whenever the inspection occurs.
