Our tech arrived and while he was competent and an overall nice guy, he was essentially done with our service and said it was going to be about $600, which seemed fair. My husband then mentioned he thought the toilet that was just fixed might be leaking, so the plumber looked at it, tightened the bolts for a minute or two and then came into our kitchen and just talked and talked. He was mainly trying to get us to buy a monthly maintenance subscription for the company. Then, he said that since he "had to work an extra 15 minutes" it was another $200. He never even looked at the toilet again before he left. We have hired plumbers many times over the years, but we have yet to encounter a situation where a plumber can suddenly decide to charge $1,000 an hour. I was especially put off for being charged for time that the plumber tried to sell us on a subscription plan. We went from having a positive experience to feeling like we were being taken advantage of. The toilet still leaked, so my husband ended up getting some parts via mail today and finish the job himself. We contacted the company about this and were told our concerns would be passed onto management, but we never heard back.

I hired Brown to fix a leaking water heater. Their technicians were highly knowledgeable and very professional. They also had great personalities! I appreciated the advice they gave, and the fact that they took time to explain my problem.

Over priced. Originally wanted over $900 to pull a toilet and run a snake down the main sewer line. Worked fine but charged a ton for routine plumbing.
