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.
