Bottom line? $500/hour(!!!) - taking advantage of people in distress ?The good: dispatchment were responsive, they were able to dispatch their plumber within a day, they asked for a trip charge of $49 which was more than fair (in retrospect: that's the bait), the plumber was nice and knowledgeable.The bad: they charge $500 per hour. This is FAR from fair market value, it's also far from expensive value, it's quite simply taking advantage of a person who's in distress (a leak situation is scary, and requires immediate attention). I made the judgement call of allowing them to inspect, figured $500 is extremely expensive but starting the schedule process from scratch is also time consuming and if they charge that much they might be worth it(?). Unfortunately, the plumber was not able to track down anything, and advised he can come back in 2 days. The next day a master plumber came by, found the leak, and was utterly shocked (disgusted, really) by the price point I got.The ugly: Taking a 10m break when charging a person $500 per hour, during just 1h of a very easy-going, non-intensive work. If I had the audacity of charging someone this amount, I'd make damn sure I'm getting them value.Conclusion: Some businesses thrive on the client's distress and knowledge gap, this is precisely what happened here, and what's so wrong and twisted in this industry. This time around, it was my turn to get butchered, I sincerely hope that you dear reader will be smarter than me. I got tons of experience with real estate, I manage over 100 properties, so if it happened to me I can't imagine what they're doing to less informed individuals. ?And to Daniel's - while you get an A on responsiveness and nice demeanor, you get a big F on taking advantage of people. That's too bad (morally) and also extremely shortsighted, you could've landed this project and others and make significantly stronger revenue. Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I worked with 1st Home & Commercial Services to do inspections on my home prior to purchasing it, and it was a no brainer that I wanted to hire them to fully replace my HVAC and disposal. Communication with Axel has been seamless throughout the whole process, and the HVAC install was yesterday—everything went smoothly! Darius, Michael, Branden, Olen and Westin came out for install of the HVAC and disposal yesterday, and they were super courteous, efficient, and knowledgeable. I will call 1st Home & Commercial from here on out for anything I need in the future!

Tyler and Tyler of Garrison Plumbing are straight up professional dudes. Good dispositions and always helpful in explaining what they are doing. Had several plumbing projects that they fixed/replaced with attention to detail. Each time they did something new they would check to make sure the previous project was working as expected. Would use them again.

After several companies were unable to provide quick service, Mike with Advanced Plumbing was able to squeeze in a same day appointment for our non functional garbage disposal and sink. He showed up on time, diagnosed and fixed the problem super quickly, and charged a very fair amount for service. Would highly recommend.
