A 2022 customer who had just bought a home with a few surprises said the plumber came out to assess it and gave an affordable price to fix the issue. That 2022 customer also praised the communication and punctuality, and said he was now their plumber. A 2022 customer said they contacted Russell at RKW for plumbing work during a kitchen project, and that on a Sunday someone who was not Russell showed up, looked at moving a baseboard heating pipe from one side of a wall to another, and quoted $1200. That 2022 customer wrote that after waiting a few days, the plumber they used instead charged $400 for the job. That 2022 customer also called Russell's communication sparse and accused him of sub-contracting the job to someone who tried to price gouge them.

BE CAREFUL THAT THE WORK IS BEING DONE BY THE CONTRACTOR HIMSELF! About a month ago, while getting some work done on my kitchen, I contacted Russell at RKW to come and do some plumbing work, because my contractor's plumber was unavailable for a few days and we didn't want to delay the project. Russell's communication was, at best, sparse, but in the end after sending a few repeated texts, he agreed to come out on a Sunday which we were all appreciative of. Sunday morning, someone who was not Russell showed up. He looked at the work that needed to be done (moving a baseboard heating pipe from one side of a wall to another) and quoted me $1200. My contractor almost threw him out of the house, as the replacement plumber laughed at us. We waited the few days, and the legitimate plumber charged us $400 for the job, as we thought it would cost. So not only did Russell not show up for the job, but he immediately sub-contracted it out to someone who tried to price gouge us, because we appeared to be in need of a plumber that day. If you need a plumber, I have two recommendations for local plumbers that won't take advantage. Stay away!
