Follow Thru Plumbing

He's unfortunately terrible
"Follow thru" could not be a more ironic name for "randy's" performanceHe schmoozed his way into getting selected as a plumber in the first place because my mom was too trusting even though I had misgivings about his overly friendly attitude
I had to constantly check on the work he was supposed to do and remind him to do things, he would show up and work a little bit then leave, he could have finished all of his work in a week but instead he broke it up over the course of a month or two, never fully completing anything and half-***ing his way along the way
provided supply lines to kitchen sink, they leaked, I had to tell him to come fix it which took multiple attempts, until he finally fixed it
He forgot to hook up a line for the fridge, took forever for him to come back and fix that
He reset toilet but it's crooked
He provided supply lines for shower, then just left them in the walls while the cold water supply had detached/never been hooked up fully and water trickled inside the wall and down until you could see it on the bathroom floor and the bottom of the wall, instead of dealing with his idiocy I fixed that myself, he was also using the cheapest possible products for the plumbing rather than the more reliable ones, but he's trying to save himself money so I guess I understand that
He forgot to provide exterior waterline, had to remind him to do that but he finally did it and I haven't had issues with that it just took alot of reminding
One day shortly after he messed with something in the house the water wouldn't come out of any of the lines, just airSupposedly there was something wrong and it needed a new Yoke, $300, something so obvious any plumber should have been able to see that a new one was neededIt should have been included in his initial estimate but it wasn't so he berated my mom and tried to get around $for the yoke and the time he spent working on itWe ended up giving him $but only because that was the sum my mom agreed to pay him to leave her alone, I wouldn't have given him anything except reimbursement for the cost of the yokeBut he never really spoke to me, just my mom
He decided to do nothing with the sewer cleanout except what appeared to be him setting the cap on the hole and burying it, well water washes away dirt so after a few weeks it became apparent what the sloshing sound in the crawlspace was, so instead of dealing with that mn I went to *** and got myself a 6" > 4" rubber coupling and a 4" pvc with a capI fixed that issue in a half an hour, but I shouldn't have, any mn could have done that! there was no reason why he had to leave it like that and hide it as if we wouldn't find outhe's either a mn, a cheat or just plain lazy
In terms of a 1-rating he gets the following:
for punctuality
for quality
for his ability as a plumber to properly estimate what a house needs
for his personality because aside from being a piece of crap human being and a terrible plumber he has a very likable personality that allows him to swindle trusting/good-hearted people
DO NOT USE RANDY FROM FOLLOW-THRU PLUMBING, he is a grossly incompetent plumber, I could have and should have done his job for him (and actually did in some cases)He operates under the guise of a "good catholic boy" which he really pushes when he's giving you an estimate or charging youIt's ** and he should be ashamed of himself, and if it isn't ** then he should honestly go back to plumbing school and take a refresher course or re-evaluate his choice of careers, because this one probably isn't going to work out too well
You'd have better luck finding someone on *** ***
