Review by: David N. in Beaverton, OR

Project: Install, Repair or Replace Plumbing or Fixtures

This shop charges flat rates for their work. This makes the bill extremely large if you have two small jobs or them to do. You get charged for two service calls. When I called to make an appointment, the receptionist would not quote me a price, but would only say that the technician would quote me the price. Upon arrival, the courteous and competent technician said I needed two faucet cartridges to repair the two shower problems. He quoted $314 for EACH shower. When I questioned him about the price, he said they were a flat rate shop. I could barely stomach the $314 for one, but the same price for the second was completely out of line for a $40 part at HD. Bottom line, I wouldn't recommend using a flat rate shop if you have more than one job to do, like I did. The Einstein office did not mention they were flat rate. Good repair technician, poor business model.

Response by Einstein Plumbing and Heating: Most of Einstein's customers prefer our flat rate system. Our pricing is up front, with no hidden charges, and presented to our customer's before any work is started. Hourly companies could charge for hours of work for something that may take another plumber an hour or less to complete. Our flat rate system takes out these kinds of inconsistencies from each project, and lets our plumber focus on what is most important: fixing our customer's plumbing issues with quality workmanship. Besides Einstein's workmanship guarantee, our flat rate is another reason we have so many return customers. We also offer financing options, senior citizen and military discounts. Check out Yelp for current specials.

Project: Install, Repair or Replace Plumbing or Fixtures

The options for fixing my issue were explained thoroughly, the work was done quickly and when the plumber left you would never have known he was here except that my leaking sink was no longer leaking.

Project: Install a Tankless Water Heater System

I would recommend this professional but definitely get more than 1 quote. He did good work but it was very over priced.

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

Verify Trade License HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license. Verify Insurance As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services. Verification of State Business Filings For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located. Criminal Records Search HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business. Sex Offender Search We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located. Bankruptcy Search We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them. Legal Search for Civil Judgments We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them. Liens Search We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them. Identity Verification (SSN) HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup) We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.

NOTE: Member service professional information confirmed as described above may change or expire over time; while HomeAdvisor attempts to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, and confirms changes when notified, we cannot guarantee that profile and screening information is accurate. Therefore, we recommend that before working with a service professional you verify that information presented is still current and/or acceptable to you.
Please see HomeAdvisor's Terms and Conditions for a full description of how we screen Service Professionals
**Only for U.S. service professionals

HomeAdvisor's Screening Process

HomeAdvisor uses an extensive screening process to screen businesses and business owners/principals. We perform this screening when a business applies to join our network and, if the business is accepted, once again every two years following — or whenever concerns are brought to our attention. If you have concerns that a pro in our network doesn't meet these standards, please contact us so we can investigate. We're committed to maintaining a network of trusted home service businesses, and those who don't meet our criteria will be rejected or promptly removed from our network.

Criminal Background Check

We use a third-party vendor to conduct criminal background checks on the owner/principal of each business*. This background check includes a search for relevant criminal convictions through a national criminal database and the sex offender database.

Licensing

We verify any applicable state-level licenses, and we require every business to attest that they carry the appropriate local licensing to practice their trade.

Identity Verification (Social Security Number)

HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number of the business owner/principal to confirm their identity. (This applies primarily to small businesses.)

State Business Filings

If a business states that it's registered as a corporation or limited liability company, we confirm that the company is in good standing in the state they're operating in.

*Corporate Accounts

Some service pros are employees, franchisees, dealers or independent contractors ("Corporate SP's") of larger national or "Corporate Accounts". When this is the case, you may be matched with the Corporate Account or with one of their Corporate service professionals. The above screening process is not applicable to Corporate Accounts, as HomeAdvisor does not screen Corporate Accounts or Corporate service professionals.

We require all users - pros and homeowners - alike to uphold our core values as outlined in our Code of Conduct.

Please see HomeAdvisor's Terms and Conditions for more detailed information on our pro requirements, screening processes, and disclaimers.

HomeAdvisor's third-party vendor uses a national criminal database ("NCD") to screen our service professionals. The comprehensiveness of the NCD varies by state. Please be aware that the reporting in the NCD is particularly limited in the following states: AL, CO, DE, GA, ID, KS, KY, LA, ME, MA, MI, MS, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, SD, UT, VA, VT, and WY.
