"BLUF: Quality of work is superb, administrative management/communication atrocious. For cost, would expect a seamless experience. Background: My wife moved into a house made in 1969 with a fair amount of work necessary to really modernize the house. It was by luck, while at a farmers market we would run into Bordner. The two girls at the farmers market, gave minimal information but scheduled the follow up with a professional to do measurements and give the shpeal. We asked for a consultation for a front door/side window project. Official Consultation: The rep showed up on time and went through the entirety of customization, quality, etc etc. He was very professional. He did some basic measurements and we agreed on two side panes and the main door. The project was quoted roughly 8,000 dollars. At the end of the consultation they had a cheesy free vacation deal that felt a little scammy/time share based so we just ignored that. We were told it would take roughly 2-3 months for the door to be made and to expect an install date at the end of November. Communication: No communication gain to until 1. About a month in when we were told the door width was too small and to change the design--we agreed as the house has many quarks such as this but, would have been nice to know that earlier on... Next Communication 2. About another month goes by and we are hearing nothing, so we call and the person who picks up no longer works for the company? He gives us numbers that go to random people not affiliated with the business. We reach out to the general Bordner phone line and are told someone will get back to us Sometime later it is communicated to us that the rep we spoke with screwed up and that we needed new measurements. Jerry the owner comes to our house to redo the measurements--cool, shows some level of care. Following Communications After this the project is delayed and it requires me emailing Jerry to get any sort of update on the project. The door is delayed due to a "defect" at the factory. Then finally we have a scheduled install date of January 2nd, then the installer is sick. I understand people get sick but, I would think the company would reschedule someone else as we've already at this point been delayed, rescheduled, and hassled. The next install date, it's too cold. The finally install on 1/24/24--roughly 2 months delayed. Project: The installer called prior to the install gave an Estimated Time of Arrival. Very professional kept the work site clean. Good deconstruction of old material and high quality install of the product. Worked with us with a couple of hurdles. Slightly, standoff-ish but, I am not paying the guy to be my friend or make conversation--he loved my son though and hell that means the most to me haha. The door install at this time appears to be of high quality and no issue. There were a few blemishes on the siding--which I am resentful for because I had to wait so long--but I place no blame on the installer for this. Overall impression: The end goal was accomplished, but for 8,000 dollars for a front door, frame, side pane install I would expect better customer service, project management, and communication. I am not running their business nor do I wish to, but they are likely making decent margins on every install so it's not like it's a general contractor doing everything on their own. I would not recommend the company in the future, simply based on the cost and the headache I had to manage. If the company was more affordable with the headaches it would be understandable or if the cost was the same and the company was as easy as order and install cool fine, I am will to pay for that. It felt like I was on my way to becoming an employee with having to continually communicate."

"Yes, though there were some bumps and burps along the way. He was the only plumber to respond to my emergency leak calls, though he lives in the next county. There was some trouble getting parts in my small town and I was without water for several days. Anyway, I now have running water again! I never thought I would ever look forward so much to doing laundry. 🙂"

FAQs for drain clog or blockage clearing projects in Buena Vista, CO

Snaking a simple clog near a tub, toilet, or sink often takes about five minutes. Deeper blockages along the main line can stretch the job to a few hours because the pro must feed extra cable and may need a camera to confirm the pipe is clear. Either way, specialized tools help pros work quickly and keep your drains running for the long haul.

Aggressive snaking can scratch pipes, push debris deeper, or even crack older lines. That risk is low with an experienced plumber who matches the cable size to the pipe and eases the snake through bends instead of forcing it. If you’re unsure of your technique—or your pipes are already fragile—calling a licensed pro is the safest, and often cheapest, move.

Start with simple barriers: mesh screens on every tub, shower, and sink keep hair, food bits, and jewelry out of the pipes. Skip harsh chemicals; a monthly flush with hot (not boiling) water clears light buildup without damaging plastic lines. Finally, practice smart disposal—no grease, wipes, or kitty litter down the drain—and schedule routine cleanings if you have older plumbing.

Roto‑Rooter typically charges a flat $160 to $450 for standard snaking, which may include a quick sewer inspection and basic clean‑out. Exact pricing depends on the clog’s location and complexity. Repairs or part replacements fall outside that flat fee, so ask for a line‑item estimate if your tech spots broken pipe sections or recommends additional work.

Most liquid cleaners rely on caustic chemicals that eat through hair and grime—but they also erode metal and even some plastics over time. Repeated use strips protective pipe coatings and can leave you with leaks or premature failures. If hot water or a plunger doesn’t help, call a plumber for mechanical removal instead of pouring more chemicals down the line.
