Given the symptoms, we thought I might have to replace my blower fan. At noon today, I got notice that Mike was on the way to look at the problem. At 12:30, Mike arrives. At 12:35, we're both looking at the furnace while he takes the blower fan cover off. At 12:37, he has diagnosed that the fan isn't dying or dead, but that it has shifted in its mounting bracket, making the fan blades hit the enclosure. SUPERB AND FRIENDLY SERVICE! I COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE. Honest, responsive, hardworking and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I can't thank Sam & Mike enough. They showed up a bit after 8am to fix 1 leaky toilet and another…read morethat wasn't flushing well and flush the water heater. The water heater had a leaky valve, so they had to fix that first. Then the first toilet needed new gasket and seal in the tank. Then the 2nd one turned into a major project. It was clogged with calcium that they couldn't fully removed so we decide to go for a new toilet. When they took the old one out the seals in the floor were all rusted out. And the pipe in the floor was a mess so they had to replace that too. And once the toilets were done, they installed bidet attachments for us. They finished up around 2pm. I was so grateful that they were able to get everything done for us in 1 day. Highly recommend!

Ineffective Service, Exorbitant Charge for Nothing, and Management Ignores Customers…read more I regret calling Raptor Rooter & Plumbing LLC for a serious plumbing issue in mid-November 2025. Water was backing up from a basement floor drain in my South Hill Spokane home, creating a messy and urgent situation. Technician Brandon arrived and, after I described the recurring problem in detail, tested the drain by running water. He then briefly ran a cable snake only about 2 feet into the drain and stopped. He provided no diagnosis, no explanation for the backup, and admitted he didn't have a camera scope on hand--which likely would have revealed the root cause. After roughly 45 minutes, he left without resolving anything. I was shocked to be billed $462 for this unproductive visit. Hoping for some accountability, I left a message two days later for General Manager Chris, asking him to call me about Brandon's service. It's now January 7, 2026--nearly two months later--and Chris has never bothered to return my call, showing a complete lack of integrity or concern for customer satisfaction. Fortunately, I found a reputable plumbing company in the area. Their general manager and team were responsive, thorough, and fixed the problem permanently. Raptor Rooter's work was inadequate, their follow-through appalling, and their overall integrity horrendous. Save yourself the frustration and money--I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE for work beyond attaching a garden hose.

We contacted Max and he was able to come and help us on short notice. He was able to disconnect the old one and install the new one, which included hardwiring it as there was no outlet. The work was outstanding and completed very quickly. This is a rental home and I'm sure we would not hesitate to contact Max for any future work.

Or maybe upgrades you think you should be able to do, but may be just a little outside of your comfort zone or skill set? If so, I suggest you call Max of Greater Spokane Handyman sooner rather than later! Max took care of a tricky dimmer switch that I thought I should be able to install, two beautiful outdoor carriage lights that had been sitting in my garage for months waiting patiently to be installed, and a new programmable thermostat ( which would have left me freezing if I had attempted, which he even programmed for me!). So, if you want a talented, personable and reasonably priced handyman I wholeheartedly recommend you give Max a call!

Justin came out and did a fantastic job. It was difficult for him to access under the kitchen sink,…read morebut he managed to do it twice since his first snaking did not completely clear the line. He said it was a challenge and I was impressed with his persistence. I can tell he takes pride in his work. Before I contacted Action Drain, I called Gold Seal because they offered a promotional drain clearing for $89. This was a few days before for the same problem. The guy said it was clear, but right after he left it backed up immediately which was worse than before he started. The sink would at least drain. In addition, when he reassembled the drain pipes, he screwed one connector on crooked so it leaked! I called to ask if they would return without charge since he made it worse. They said no. The service manager was supposed to call me but did not. Definitely a second rate company. I went with Action Drain based on Yelp reviews. I definitely recommend them.
