Johnny's plumbing

I initially contacted Johnny to fix a leaking master shut off valve and put in a new water line to my deck. I liked his work so much, I brought him back 3 other times to do other jobs. He was very professional and did excellent work!

Honestly, I do not know where to start. For starters I did not contact this person myself, he was used as by my landlord's request, let's just start there. She said she knew him through a friend of some sort blah blah blah. He was called after I reported about a bubble in the ceiling in the living room. As stated another's review, he seems extremely friendly and nice but don't be fooled by that. What ticked me off from the beginning is he took forever to respond to let me know when he was going to come out to the place (I needed to let my job know ahead of time that i was going to be late or may not come in at all). When I finally found out what time he then called me the next morning to tell me that he was going to be late. Mind you, he called about 10-15 mins of when he was supposed to be there. That was already a bad sign; a person knows when they are going to be late and they should call more than 10 mins sooner than their appointment time. I thought it was going to be a simple job, I was wrong, he took four days to complete something I think could have been doing sooner. He showed up late on two of the days I was home and who knows his work ethic on the days I was not there. (I had to leave a spare key for him to get into the house because I had to be at work, and this was also advised to me by the landlord to leave the key for him). Then once there was a day he called me at 9 pm to tell me he had to come back out to the place to finish up the very next day. As a business owner (or whatever he is) you should not be calling a customer that late, maybe in the event of an extreme emergency. He had all day to call me to inform me that he will be out the next day, no, he waits until the latest of late to call. 9 pm seriously? 6 or 7 would not have been bad but really 9? And I think that was because he remembered to call right before he was going to bed or something. On the day I had to do my final inspection for the place, he was still not finished and he left a dusty mess on the floor as well as the upstairs bathroom and my neighbors complained about him dumping substances near their yard. So I could not clean the upstairs bathroom because of the disassembled shower knobs and the living room was mediocre because of all the dusty he left behind. So I hear from my landlord stating that I will be held accountable for the plumber fee which I was not informed of at the close of the inspection. I was beyond enraged, he stated on his receipt tenant negligence which is beyond me as I informed them of the leak so if that was tenant negligence that is a ridiculous accusation. They would have never known had I not said something. Next time, i'll just keep my trap shut and maybe i'll be able to keep most of my deposit. I am no handyman so how am I to know the reason of any pipe leaks or anything like that in a home. The cost probably resulted to that much because he drags his feet when he works and takes his time to dock hours to get more money. Overall this experience was not a pleasant one and I feel sorry for anyone who has used his services and not known the truth about his work ethic. His customer service skills were horrible if not non existent. I will never use his services again (not like I had a choice this time anyway) and will definitely not recommend him to anyone. His license should be revoked immediately.

Started out with good intentions, though he is a very messy shiny worker. Way overpriced for the job done. Kind of lazy. Won't complete work even if you pay him.
