The overwhelming majority of reviews paint a deeply negative picture of this contractor, particularly around the owner Joe's conduct. Professionalism is the most heavily criticized dimension, with multiple reviewers independently describing Joe as rude, accusatory, combative over billing disputes, and engaging in unprofessional behavior such as discussing politics on the clock and aggressively pursuing payment through legal channels. Pricing is also a serious concern, with reviewers citing a 100% markup on parts, charges exceeding quotes by thousands of dollars, double service call billing, and a $185 unexplained surcharge on a referred repair. Project completion received a slightly higher score only because some basic plumbing tasks were technically finished, but issues such as wavy flooring, unresolved callbacks over more than a year, and incomplete follow-through drag the score down significantly. Experience scores marginally better as a few reviews acknowledge that basic plumbing work was competent, but carpentry quality was explicitly poor and at least one reviewer questioned whether the plumber held proper licensing.
