My overall experience with 'The Plumbing Company' was terrible. Chris and Cindy, a husband and wife team, sub-contract all aspects of their work. This makes timely resolution difficult at best. Additionally, these two do everything possible not do any work whatsoever themselves and do not come on site to confirm, verify, or inspect any work that is done by their sub-contractors or other entities.
Cindy and Chris will go out of her way to provide every scenario possible but aren't actually capable of accomplishing any of the work. The one time during our 9-day emergency sewer line repair when Chris actually came to my home, he had his helper digging in my yard, during excessive heat and humidity, while he hid out front by his truck and texted on his phone; that he didn't grab a shovel and help his own man, tells you everything you need to know about how these two operate.
Additionally, Cindy was initially disparaging about every other plumber out there to ensure that they got the job. Because we were working through our insurance/warranty company, to whom I have recommended they no longer use 'The Plumbing Company', Cindy and Chris were quick to push the work off to the city utility company, their subcontractors, and were constantly asking for updates and pictures because they didn't spend any time here on the job site. They were quick to blame delays and difficulties on everyone else and finger-pointed to the city and even their own sub-contractors when tasks could be completed or updates provided in a timely manner.
Finally, after the 9-day emergency was partially resolved and when it came time for next steps, their estimators (more sub-contractors) didn't show up and Cindy indicated that she was going on vacation and work would have to continue the following week.
Cindy, Chris, and the 'The Plumbing Company' should be avoided at all cost. If you are using a reputable insurance/warranty that chooses to continue to use them, request anybody else! These two will take a difficult job and make it worse by kicking the can down the road and avoiding the actual work at all costs.
