This is the second time I have had Parsons out. It will be the last. The gentleman that came out was not dressed very professionally with paint covered pants, didn't wear protective shioe coverings, and when he used my bathroom(which was fine), he left dirty fingerprints all over my toilet. According to my research his estimate for a repair on my waterheater was neatly double the norm. And he refused to repair a dripping tub until the heater was repaired, citing warranty.
I have since read the owner's response to my concerns and I am very impressed with your actions on the matter.
I do believe there was a misunderstanding about pricing and repairs our part. We do appreciate your action regarding the service man that came into our home. We appreciate accountability. However, I would never wish someone lose their job.
I am certainly willing to give Parson Plumbing another try, as I did like our initial visit the month before.

We’re sorry your experience did not meet the standards we expect from our team. Your concerns regarding our technician’s appearance, shoe coverings, cleanliness, and communication are valid, and we are addressing them internally.
Our recommendation was based on water pressure measuring 82 PSI, which can damage plumbing fixtures and contribute to the water heater relief valve and tub/shower cartridge leaking. We recommended correcting the excessive pressure before replacing the bathtub cartridge to reduce the risk of premature failure—not to require an unrelated repair.
However, we understand that the pricing and explanation left you dissatisfied. We have issued a full refund of the service charge back to the card used for payment. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and appreciate your feedback. The employee in question has been terminated, in part due to your experience.
Please call our office at 614-805-9466. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns personally and work toward a resolution. We are confident that we can still assist with your plumbing issues, and we will make sure you are properly taken care of.

Mike did a great job. I'm big on keeping my home clean and they did a great job of being easy to get along with when it came to wearing shoe covers and being respectful of my home. They did a great job installing things and were very easy to get along with.

Parson’s Plumbing has my vote! Cody, Nate and Ryan did a great job of running the downspouts piping to the street. Hand dug it completely making sure to keep the sod in tact to replace when done. They were very professional and a friendly bunch of guys to work with. Answering any questions I had. Definitely will be my go to if I need plumbing done again. Very reasonable too. Thanks!

Nate came out, took a lot of care and time explaining everything very thoroughly in a way that helped me understand. He was kind and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. He worked through every possible potential issue to help me try to find the source of a tricky situation. 10/10 would recommend!

I’m one to read reviews but not write one unless I’m angry with the experience. This is not the case. Outstanding service!
They went over and above.
I am a single older woman who struggles to be a home owner. I don’t know diddly about plumbing . I’m so happy I found the best! My main drain had roots and they didn’t give up until it was clear!
Hard work, honest communication and more than fair in price. OUTSTANDING!
