Bathtub Repair In Columbus

B&B Plumbing has a large and long-running review history that reveals a genuinely mixed picture. Professionalism scores moderately well overall — the majority of reviewers praise punctuality, courteous technicians, and clean work habits — but a meaningful minority of negative reviews describe rude staff, unresponsive management, and broken promises, which prevents a higher score. Pricing is the weakest dimension: multiple detailed negative reviews describe hidden fees (vehicle charges, credit card surcharges, travel fees), charges for unproductive diagnostic time, and quotes significantly higher than competitors, while positive reviewers do cite fair pricing — the tension between these camps pulls the score down substantially. Project completion is similarly split: many reviewers report smooth, timely, complete jobs, but several credible negative reviews describe abandoned work, unkept guarantees, unresolved issues after multiple visits, and a notable case where the owner promised completion then went on vacation leaving the job unfinished. Experience scores moderately — most technicians are praised as knowledgeable, especially with Kohler products, but at least two detailed negative reviews describe a technician who lacked basic product knowledge and another whose work was found not to be up to code, which meaningfully reduces confidence in consistent skill levels.

• BLANK REVIEWS: Approximately 18 reviews contain no text at all — only a star rating (mostly 5-star). These were excluded from dimension scoring as they provide no usable evidence. Their presence inflates the apparent star average without contributing meaningful data.
• POSSIBLE FAKE OR PADDED REVIEWS: A cluster of reviews dated '2024-06-09', '2023-06-10', '2022-06-10', '2021-06-10', '2020-06-10', and similar round dates with no review text are suspicious. Batches of blank 5-star reviews on the same date are a known pattern of review padding and should be treated with skepticism.
• DUPLICATE REVIEWS DETECTED: The RHEEM tankless water heater review by what appears to be the same customer was submitted twice (2021-06-10 and 2021-03-23) with nearly identical text. Similarly, the 'So happy with the work done by B & B plumbing' concrete pipe review appears twice (2024-06-09 and 2023-10-20). Duplicate reviews may indicate platform cross-posting or manipulation.
• RECENCY NOTE: The most recent substantive negative reviews (2024-10-10 and 2024-09-12) are within the past 12 months and describe serious issues — hidden fees charged to a disabled person and complete non-responsiveness after initial contact. These recent negatives were weighted more heavily.
• MANAGEMENT RESPONSIVENESS CONCERN: Multiple negative reviews across different years describe the owner or management becoming unreachable after problems arose (2021-01-07, 2021-10-06, 2013-05-27). This is a recurring pattern, not isolated incidents.
• SERIOUS MISCONDUCT ALLEGATION: One review (2013-05-27) describes a technician making sexual advances toward and physically touching a customer's mother. The company's follow-up response was also described as inadequate. While this is an older review, it is a serious allegation.
• GUARANTEE VIOLATION: At least one review (2014-06-20) explicitly describes B&B refusing to honor their stated one-year workmanship guarantee, requiring payment for a return visit on the same issue within the warranty period.

This WW Score is based on a large volume of reviews spanning over 15 years and carries HIGH statistical confidence in its directional accuracy, but prospective customers should note that the score reflects a genuinely divided customer base — roughly 20-25% of substantive reviews describe serious problems with pricing transparency, follow-through, and management accountability, and these concerns appear consistently across multiple years including recent reviews.

Both reviews describe severe failures across all dimensions: non-completion of paid work (shed and roof projects abandoned), complete communication breakdown and blocking of contact, alleged theft of services resulting in felony warrant, and dangerous workmanship (damaged barn roof endangering animals). The contractor allegedly took $3,000 and $1,500+ in cash respectively without delivering services. However, with only 2 reviews total, a WW Score cannot be reliably calculated per protocol. The evidence of misconduct is explicit and consistent across both reviews, but sample size is critically insufficient.

• CRITICAL: Only 2 reviews analyzed — below minimum threshold of 3 reviews required for reliable WW Score calculation
• SEVERE ALLEGATIONS: Both reviews allege theft, fraud, and abandonment of work. First review mentions active felony warrant for theft of services and fugitive status across multiple states
• PATTERN OF MISCONDUCT: Consistent allegations of non-completion, communication avoidance/blocking, cash payment without delivery, and poor workmanship across both reviews suggest systemic issues rather than isolated incidents
• REVIEW RECENCY: First review from Feb 2023 (approximately 2 years old); second review from Feb 2022 (approximately 3 years old). Both outside 12-month window, but allegations suggest ongoing pattern
• LEGAL INVOLVEMENT: First review explicitly mentions police involvement and felony warrant — this is not a customer service complaint but a criminal matter

Insufficient data — cannot calculate WW Score reliably with only 2 reviews. However, the explicit allegations of theft, fraud, non-completion, and criminal charges warrant extreme caution; this contractor should not be engaged without independent verification of current legal status and business legitimacy.

This single review paints a severely negative picture of Bunn Home Improvement across the dimensions that can be assessed. On professionalism, the contractor failed to honor a rescheduled appointment, went completely silent, and ignored multiple texts and calls — behavior that warrants a near-zero score. On project completion, the job was never started at all; the contractor simply did not show up and abandoned the customer without any communication. Pricing and experience cannot be evaluated as the reviewer never reached the stage where work was performed or costs were discussed. With only one review available, no reliable WW Score can be calculated.

• Only 1 review available — WW Score cannot be calculated reliably per minimum threshold of 3 reviews.
• The sole review is dated January 2021, making it over 3 years old. No recent reviews are available to assess current performance.
• The contractor's behavior described — no-show after rescheduling and complete non-responsiveness — is a serious red flag for reliability and professionalism.
• Pricing and experience dimensions have NO DATA and were excluded from scoring entirely.

This score report is based on a single 1-star review from 2021 and should be considered highly unreliable as a representation of overall contractor quality — far more reviews are needed before any meaningful conclusions can be drawn.

This single review provides limited evidence across three dimensions. The operator demonstrated punctuality and professionalism by arriving on time with a clean approach. Project completion is evidenced by successful hot water tank replacement and removal as promised. Pricing was noted as competitive and fair. However, with only one review, no technical skill details or workmanship quality specifics are mentioned, and the sample size is far too small to calculate a reliable WW Score.

• Insufficient data — only 1 review analyzed. Minimum 3 reviews required for reliable WW Score calculation.
• Experience dimension has no data; no mention of technical skill, problem-solving, or workmanship quality.
• All confidence scores are LIMITED due to single-mention basis.

This analysis cannot produce a trustworthy WW Score with only one review; at least 3 reviews are required to establish meaningful patterns and confidence.

Done Right Plumbing demonstrates strong overall performance across all four dimensions. Professionalism is a clear strength, with extensive evidence of punctuality, courteous communication, and respectful behavior. Pricing is competitive and transparent, though some customers report higher costs relative to alternatives. Project completion is consistently reliable with same-day or next-day service delivery and thorough follow-up. Technical expertise is evident across complex jobs including water main replacements, sewer line work, and emergency repairs. However, a notable minority of negative reviews (approximately 4% of total) document service failures, no-shows, and occasional unprofessional behavior that prevent a higher score.

• Approximately 17 reviews (4.1%) contain 1-star ratings describing serious service failures: no-shows, unprofessional technician behavior, incomplete work, and refusal to honor commitments. These are distributed across different time periods and appear to reflect genuine customer dissatisfaction rather than fake reviews.
• Several reviews mention the same technician names (Ray, Miguel, Steve, Ben, Malikai, Ashton) receiving consistent praise, suggesting strong individual performers carry the company reputation. Conversely, some negative reviews cite specific technicians, indicating inconsistent quality across the team.
• A small cluster of reviews (3-4) from 2022 describe property-related complaints unrelated to plumbing work quality (parking disputes, horn honking), suggesting potential workplace culture or management issues.
• Two reviews describe billing disputes: one customer charged $400 for a 5-minute fix, another charged $1200 for a P-trap replacement (customer self-repaired for <$20). These suggest occasional overpricing on minor jobs.
• Multiple reviews from 2021-2025 show high concentration of 5-star ratings with generic praise language ('amazing,' 'excellent,' 'highly recommend'), but these are supported by specific job details and technician names, reducing concern about fake reviews. The volume and consistency of positive reviews across 10+ years suggests genuine customer satisfaction rather than fabrication.
• Recency bias noted: Reviews from past 12 months (June 2024-June 2025) are predominantly 5-star with minimal negative feedback, while older reviews (2018-2023) show more balanced distribution including legitimate 1-2 star complaints. This may reflect improved operations or selection bias in recent reviews.

This WW Score of 82.3 is highly reliable, based on 408 usable reviews with strong data density across all four dimensions. The company demonstrates genuine strengths in professionalism and technical expertise, supported by consistent evidence across hundreds of reviews spanning 15+ years. However, the score appropriately reflects a meaningful minority of documented service failures and no-shows that prevent a higher rating. Customers should expect generally professional, competent service at fair-to-moderate pricing, but should be aware of occasional inconsistency in execution and rare instances of unprofessional behavior.

This contractor demonstrates strong performance across all measured dimensions. Professionalism is consistently praised with mentions of punctuality, responsiveness, communication, and cleanliness across six reviews. Project completion is the strongest dimension with seven reviews explicitly confirming timely work, follow-through on callbacks, and comprehensive job delivery including complex multi-room plumbing installations. Technical experience is well-documented through descriptions of sophisticated work (vent stacks, water heater replacements, safety devices) mentioned in five reviews. Pricing receives limited but positive mention from one review noting competitive bidding. The primary limitation is recency—most reviews are from 2007–2013, with only two reviews from 2015 or later, making current performance assessment difficult.

• RECENCY CONCERN: 7 of 9 reviews are older than 10 years (2007–2013). Only 2 reviews from 2015 or later. Current service quality cannot be reliably assessed from this dataset.
• MINIMAL PRICING DATA: Only 1 review mentions pricing/value. Score of 85 for pricing is based on very limited evidence.
• ONE UNUSABLE REVIEW: Review from 2015-08-24 contains only a period (.) with no substantive content and was excluded from analysis.

This WW Score of 88.2 reflects strong historical performance but should be treated with caution due to the age of most reviews; current contractor performance may differ significantly from the 2007–2013 period these reviews represent.
