+ -1 moreThe work was not that bad, but after they finished the faucet just did not seem secure. They did address the issue, but I just felt the job could have been done with a little more detail.
Description of Work: I had them replace a pipe that burst and they also replaced an outside faucet.

+ -1 moreCalled DePaul to unclog a drain in a tenant's apartment. The serviceman arrived on time and promptly took care of the clog (about 15 minutes duration). While he was there, the tenant asked him to take a look at another apartment's toilet as water was soaking into the tenant's ceiling. He gave a cursory examination of the upstairs toilet, said ''no leaks'' and took off as quickly as possible. Total time on-site: 20-25 minutes. I checked the tenant's ceiling myself, saw that it was *soaked* beneath the upstairs toilet, and called DePaul to request that they send someone back to take care of the problem. I'd paid for an hour of service and I wanted an hour of service. The owner tells me that the hour charge includes travel time and that there'd be a separate hour-minimum charge ($189!) to send someone out for the toilet. I told him this was preposterous as DePaul is 5 blocks away from me. We had a lengthy argument during which he swore at me. I will never use this company again.
Description of Work: The serviceman cleared a drain clog (successfully) and looked at a toilet that was leaking through the ceiling to the floor below. He said he couldn't find a leak and promptly left after being on-site for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the ceiling beneath the toilet was *soaked.* I was forced to fix the leak on my own by opening up the ceiling, checking for the source of the leak, and replacing the wax seal beneath the toilet.
