Plumber
I URGE you to not use this company for your electrical or plumbing needs. Our contractor brought this company in to do the work on our bathroom and kitchen and we are SO disappointed in their work and professional behavior.
1. The electrical work in our bathroom was pretty minor. Move 1 electrical outlet, place 2 sconces and make our outlet a 220V vs. 120V for our new gas range. Firstly, when he came to do the work he said some pretty misogynistic & concerning personal things. Not only did he make ME super uncomfortable, but his fellow plumber and my contractor were thoroughly disgusted by his commentary. Worse than his demeanor, the job he did was wrong...twice. First, he hooked up the sconces incorrectly so that you had to turn on 2 light switches at a time to get them to turn on. Second, he changed the 220V outlet to what LOOKED like a 120V outlet, but when we put the electronic meter in it, it was still running 220v. It could have COMPLETELY destroyed our new stove. Thankfully, they did send someone else out to fix it who confirmed his work was wrong and re-did the work quickly and efficiently. Our contractor continually told them about his erratic behavior and poor craftsmanship and Greenbox just defended him saying there had been no other complaints.
2. Our plumber was very nice, but did subpar work. When he noticed our pipes were old galvanized pipes, he recommended additional work to go further back than originally intended in our shower. We appreciated his advice and the charge was extra to re-do our shower drain line which we were fine with. However, we noticed he went only halfway back - not all the way to the connection. (Our new plumber said this was just lazy work - he also used the wrong turn in the shower drain which our new plumber said we were lucky to pass inspection with) He also took the sink line and made 2 new connections for our vanity as we now had 2 faucets. However, after all the tile work was done and my contractor went to hook it up, one of the hot water faucets didn't work. When he came back to fix it, he told us it was our fault for not getting that section of galvanized pipes fixed. He never suggested that when he was working on the sink, and said he'd need to either rip out all the tile, or enter from the other side to fix it. I was so TIRED of Greenbox at this point, that I told him to just tie the hot water off of one line so I could be done with them. Before he left, he suggested we re-pipe the whole house and that it would cost anywhere from 15-20k. When I called in a different plumber (Pipeline plumbing who was a PLEASURE to work with) - they re-piped the entire house for us for a fraction of that price and even FIXED all of the work that was done in the bathroom incorrectly in the first place.
It's one thing to be unhappy with the work, but the extremely unprofessional behavior with the electrician was abhorrent. What makes it worse, is they continually tried to send him out to us (we demanded a different electrician for that 220 mistake) and took no actions to speak with him about his actions.
Do yourself a favor and choose someone else for your plumbing and electrical needs.
