    Estimate from Vincent for the SAME EXACT work/pictures from today
    Ajay V.

    Short & Skinny: If you want to deal with someone that follows unethical and dubious business practices, feel free to go with Vincent/Sewer Master. Vincent quoted me 3x+ the estimate for the SAME EXACT work, which he/his company provided an estimate for 4 months prior. See attached photos. Save your $ and get your work done with someone who'll be honest and transparent. I'm in the process of purchasing my first home, which needs sidewalk repair work. Since city requires homeowners to repair the sidewalk, I was looking for folks who can help to fix along with certification. As part of the seller's disclosures, one of the documents was the sidewalk repair estimate from Vincent/Sewer Master from March 2020, which the seller's agent at the time had requested. So, I looked up Sewer Master and saw good reviews, and decided to reach out for a quote. Mind you, I did not mention about his estimate from March intentionally to see what Vincent will come back with. To my disbelief, Vincent's estimate for the SAME EXACT WORK with the same exact pictures from the previous estimate was 3X+ more! See attached photos. Thanks to having the old estimate, I was able to call Vincent out on his bluff. I sent Vincent the old estimate asking why such a huge discrepancy and he claimed the old estimate from March was a "mistake," which he'd just caught yesterday. Really?! For a business that's been around since 2012 and does this type of work day-in-day-out as listed on his Yelp profile, how can someone make such a mistake? He then offers to "rebid the job" as if that's going to miraculously change the estimate, right? Purchasing a home in itself is a tedious, stressful, and expensive process. As buyers, you'd hope to come across folks who'd be honest and transparent yet when you encounter such experiences, it's disheartening, frustrating, and infuriating. My hope for Vincent is to not cheat his potential customers and be honest and forthcoming. My hope for future customers is to decide what type of businesses you choose to deal with in the future. Get multiple quotes! Vincent/Sewer Master will certainly NOT be getting my business.

    Sewer Master has a masterful individual as its leader. Vincent may appear a bit rough on the edges but make no mistake in doubting his work ethics and commitment to executing your job. He gave me an estimate to perform sewer lateral but mind you, the work that was predicted by him was less than what his crew ended up doing. Work scope became bigger but there was only $100 increase from the original estimate. Not only this, but he executed the work in a very short notice including getting the certificate of compliance from the city, all within 2 days! He was also very accommodating in getting paid late, directly from Escrow which was closed a week later. Look no further for your sewer needs.

    We had a sewer plug left in our sewer lateral and concreted over by the plumbers that built it. The plug was periodically wedging and occluding the whole sewer lateral backing up all of the drains in our house and resulting in multiple wastewater overflows into our back and side yard. I communicated once with Vincent on the phone, sent him a few details and pictures via text and Sewer Master (SM) gave me easily the most competitive quote for what was a straightforward, if bizarre problem. SM was able to get a team out earlier than expected and fixed the problem in an afternoon. If we have future issues I will reach out to Vincent again and I would definitely recommend Sewer Master to others.

Both were done with permits, and he passed every inspection with flying colors, even receiving props from an inspector. On Joel's first day beginning the toilet project in a vacant apartment, a tenant from a neighboring apartment confronted him about the construction noise, complaining loudly and threatening to get a restraining order and/or take legal action. I called a civil standby officer to keep the tenant at bay, but his threats continued. Other contractors might have been intimidated. But Joel remained steadfast and finished the job by my deadline. When restoring the bathroom, he even threw in a couple of new water shutoff valves under the bathroom sink. Highly recommended!

Service request was prompt and communication was great. Joel was very thorough, and even gave many pros and cons of the smart water shutoff valve during the onsite inspection and quoting. Quote was spot on and a great value as quote and billing was a breeze. No mystery line items, or service fees.

Salvador called me to Let me know the work was finished, sent me pictures via email of before and after the Job.

Although the timeliness and service I received was good, it was expensive and the "process" left a bad taste in my mouth. My Carrier system started sending me warning messages about a motor issue for the furnace in the afternoon. Albert Nahman was able to send someone first thing in the AM. Within 30mins they were able to confirm that I needed a new motor. This is where the "upsell" started. First, they noted that I don't have a "membership". membership would give me a 15% discount on the needed fix (the fix was ~$3.5M so the discount was chunky). Second, they noted that if I don't have a membership, I may not get the last of the motor that's in inventory nor get the fix scheduled within the day (fix might not happen this week) . which is a lot of words for "pay to play" .... in other words, if I didn't pay for the membership I wasn't going to get my furnace fixed today. This felt sooooooooo icky. why make the poor service guy act like a friggin scam artist instead of letting them do what they're best at, install and fix things! What does the membership do? it gives you an annual maintenance checkup and 15% discount on services/purchases. The checkup doesn't cover actual service, just checking to make sure that things are working (which of course translate to a potential service call!). So if they're marking up all their services/purchases by 15% to sell membership, then "membership" is just free money for AN to extort out of potential clients who are very likely in a difficult situation (unlikely to call unless it's an emergency like the heater is not working when it's cold!). While AN got my system fixed today.... I'm not going to trust AN going forward but will start looking for alternatives to support our annual checkup/maintenance of our heater/cooling systems

Her patience, thoroughness and care helped make what originally felt like a daunting process, exciting. Jac took time to understand my vision and executed on practical steps to realize that vision. Beyond her plumbing mastery and expertise, it was Jac's kindness and thoughtfulness that left a lasting impression. I've witnessed a real generosity of spirit in her interactions with people: Whether providing resources like water & housing connections to houseless folks we happened across during walks, or helping a local business owner with her store toilet during lunch, Jac reminds me that there's no better time to be a better person than right now.
