I put out a Yelp request to get estimates on some work for my home. As Yelp does, it contacted…read moremultiple companies. Mr. Rooter was the first to call me, and schedule for an estimate. I mentioned that we are selling the house and we were looking to repair an issue with the water pressure for the new owners. The plumber that came by called me and told me his recommendations. Two days later, I received an estimate for much more than what was recommended on the phone, and an invoice for the estimate itself. I responded questioning that estimate charge, because it wasn't mentioned in advance, and why there was work on the estimate that we were told we wouldn't need. The woman that responded was nice with her explanations, but it still doesn't sit right with me to charge for an estimate, or to not say that ahead of time. A week later, she called to follow up, and I told her because it was a Yelp thing, someone else was taking a look for us and I would be in touch if we wanted to continue with them; or I would pay the invoice for the estimate online. The other company that came told us everything Mr. Rooter had added to their estimate was not needed. If those things were a problem, we would have no water. So it would have been a waste of money. Two weeks later, after not reaching out to me again to follow up, she called my realtor and threatened to put a lien on our house, and interfere with the sale, if we don't pay the $200 estimate fee! That is extremely unprofessional! and $200 is very high, considering it cost your company nothing in parts, etc, and your employee was only at my home for 16 minutes. I am far from happy with my experience. Tyler, their plumber, was great! He seemed to know exactly what it was talking about, he was very nice on the phone and professional. But their office is a disaster and the customer service is a 1/10. To respond.. I never spoke tot Tyler over the phone regarding the bill, nor was I ever rude to him in any manner. I was never told in advance about any fees for estimates, so I would love to hear the recorded call you claim you have. I also responded to the email with the invoice for the estimate that I was unaware of a charge for it, and the response I received was "yes, that was our failure to communicate." I also did not say I would be using the estimate in negotiations for my sale, so it was not a "real estate estimate." It was a homeowner trying to get work done on their home. And the work is the home needs IS being done, by someone else. You are simply unhappy that I got multiple estimates done, and chose someone else, which I have every right to do, whether I am selling the home or not. Good luck to you and your corporate business.

Did not know the problem, but my toilet would not flush anymore. Yet my tub and kitchen sink were…read moredraining all right too. They came down to check it out and see what needed to be done. I had allready used a plunger and an auger to free it, but it appeared to be further down than just the toilet. So they took the toilet off the base and checked that out, which I also checked out, and the line was frozen. That could be very possible that had something in the line that was blocking it from going out. They said they could try to work on that but it would be very expensive, so I declined in knowing Spring would be here eventually and possible get and opportunity to free it then. Beside the fact, that since winter will be here for a while it would probably freeze up again and the cost would not be worth it in this time period. In the meantime I am using a potty seat for the disabled and have a portable septic tank to empty the pail into which is working out fine now in the meantime until spring comes. But my kitchen and bath water are going down freely, so of no major concern right now.

As a heating professional who has had the "pleasure" of following this company to fix what the…read morecouldn't, I feel I would be remiss if I didn't share this experience. The customer called for a leak in a steam condensate return line. This company showed up and hit them for $1800! (With a $200 courtesy discount!) the repair applied was not only wrong, WAY over expensed, and it leaked a short time later. The customer was then told the additional repair would be an additional $1000! The invoice for the steam boiler repair quotes line items for a circulation hot water boiler NOT a steam system. The work quoted was totally inappropriate for the system. The quote also stated 23' of copper piping would be installed, instead it was 15' of PEX and some galvanized compression couplings. (They did use about 2 feet of copper to make the transition to PEX easier). They also totally missed the plugged steam control pigtail, and gauge class port clogged. The main boiler drain (they left it completely open) was so plugged full of sludge it wouldn't drain. They charged this elderly couple $1800 for 3 hours labor and $100 worth of parts. I just redid the line in mailable iron (proper for steam systems) for 1/3 rd the cost. I will definitely be assisting this customer with a complaint through the NYS attorney General as this is clearly an attack on the elderly. Please find a reputable company and pass up on calling this one!

I called him on a Saturday and left a voicemail not expecting a call back until Monday, but I was pleasantly surprised that he called me back just a few hours later and apologized that he didn't call back sooner.

While he was not cheap, it would have saved money if we called him first instead of calling and paying the two other plumbers for their attempts. He's our first call going forward for any plumbing issues

I'm a distance from Revenge's office so I told the dispatcher that it wasn't an emergency and they could help me the next time they're in the area. They were here the next day! I saw this in other reviews but scoffed. Boy was my negativity off the mark. Amazing. Why amazing? A year ago I called every local plumber for another small project. First, each said that as a new customer, I was a low priority and they would schedule me 2 or 3 weeks out. Give me a break. I hired a plumber from Glens Falls area who was here in a few days. I gladly paid travel costs because of the prompt service. In the end I thought the total bill might be high but I'm really not up to date on plumbing charges. Still, they responded quickly, they didn't complain about being a new customer, and they did good work. I'll call them again if I need help again.
