Randal is an excellent Master Plumber. He knows what he is doing, explains things patiently, and…read morewhen on the phone or at your home, is respectful. But a great plumber is only good if you can get a response from them. I've been dealing with him for several years now. Consistently I've had to message repeatedly, call repeatedly. On occasion - as the first time I contacted him probably in 2023 - he answers the phone himself, and provides info on what he thinks the problem is. And he does phenomenal work. After a few years of being a good customer, patient, paying on time, never objecting to pricing, I **STILL** cannot get a response from him. One issue is that he's a one man show. It's him, or no one. His wife is lovely and accompanies him at times. Very knowledgeable herself. About 4 weeks ago I initiated contact and he responded immediately via text. Great, I thought. Then nothing. After a few more messages checking in, he said there was a family medical situation. I gave him space, and here we are two weeks and yet another text message to him later, and nothing. Nada. And still a leaking well tank. C'mon. Do better. We are done, hope you sort yourself out with other customers - I've seen several other people have had the same experience.

The garbage disposal in my sink stopped working, and I asked Sunwave to come out to look at it. They came out the same day. They also discovered that the disposal wasn't broken. It just needed an Allen wrench to turn the blades a little bit to loosen it up. The service took 5 minutes. SUNWAVE DID NOT CHARGE FOR THE SERVICE. I come from a big city where there is a minimum service fee just to come out to your house (usually running into several hundred dollars). So this gratuitous service really was quite a pleasant surprise. And to be clear, I would have been very happy to pay Sunwave Plumbing.

The guys that came for the repair were friendly, knowledgeable, and got right down to work. They found an additional problem which was easily rectified at the same visit.

I was told they would have to come back another day to complete the work, and we scheduled for the next day. 10 minutes after they were due to show up, the scheduler, Nola, called me and stated they would not be sending a tech until I agreed to their price of $861 to lay a foot of copper pipe to an existing line and replace an outside spigot. The work was supposed to be done hourly on a time and materials basis. I told her I thought the price ridiculous and shared my dissatisfaction with having to be pinned down waiting another day to have a tech come to do the job they were unprepared to do the day before. I was told I was being "rude" for having to explain to her how I had been inconvenienced (because she asked me that question). She said she would have to talk to her service manager to see if they could even send anyone and would call me. She never called and I called her back and let her know I had been a customer at Fitch for 23 years but will no longer be using their services ever again. John Fitch used to run a decent company, but now the customer service is horrible, the techs are unprepared, and they try to price gouge the customers to make up for time lost due to their own errors.
