Chris' Plumbing Services - Unlicensed Contractor

Kept increasing price and then just ghosted me. Also, CLAIMED HE IS LICENSED. WHEN I ASKED HIM TO SHARE HIS LICENSE DETAILS, HE SAID, " I NEED TO FIND THAT PAPERWORK" I hired Chris to reroute a gas line due to a leak in the old line. He said he could do it. I asked him if he was licensed, insured and bonded and he said yes to all of that. Then on the day of he said oh the original route won't work due to the size of the pipe, we need to run it differently and it will cost 250% more. I said fine I understand it 8s more work, let's proceed. Then later he calls me and says oh the materials are more than what I thought is it now going to 300% more than the original estimate. At this point, I was without gas, for 3 days, so I said yes, and we agreed on 275% increase over original price. He said he would need a helper to do this job but will be done. At the end of day he had done nothing, so I texted him and he said he couldn't get the tools to work on the job, but tomorrow he would have a helper and should be done next day. So I reminded him to send me his license. Since then he Just stopped answering calls or text. I had to reach out to another contractor with license to do the job. Please be careful using his services.

I get it, plumbers need to make money, gas, installation, etc. however, turned out if was the flushing mechanism in the tank and not the wax ring seal. it took 22 minutes for the entire job plus parts and was asked to pay $160.00. I feel like the person could have made an executive decision and asked for a more reasonable amount for work performed, heck at $120.00, I probably would not even be writing this.

Chris was professional and did a great job. He communicates with you throughout. I highly recommend him.

Very professional, polite, and detail oriented - great communication as well. Will definitely use services in the future.

He did great work, would definitely recommend his service.
