John D. at Mr. Rooter (North York) did a great job. The whole experience, right from the phone call, went smoothly:
- Phone call was answered on the first ring; I called at night and was able to book a 10am-12pm slot for the next day.
- Received a confirmation call an hour prior to arrival.
- John D. arrived on time in a clean, professional-looking van. Used booties to cover boots upon request.
- Price quote was given in writing before the job started; he consulted a binder of prices set by the company, so there's some assurance there.
- He estimated an hour for the job, and the job did indeed take an hour.
- He cleaned the area under the sink (I think I saw a spray bottle of cleaning product) after the job was complete.
- He fixed up the loose kitchen faucet without me asking, even though it wasn't technically responsible for the leaking stop valve.
I was particularly grateful because I wasted a full day waiting for a no-show plumber the previous day (NOT Mr. Rooter, but another highly-rated independent guy). I wish I had called Mr. Rooter right from the beginning.
