Very overpriced for work performed and they pass on additional fuel surcharge on the customer and were over an hour late past the scheduled window! There was a leak in the outdoor faucet on my upper deck that came through the interior of the house. After some diagnosis, they were not able to detect the issue and…

Over charge! nearly $500 for a small job that took less than one hour. Includes fuel surcharge and 3.5% surcharge if you want to use credit card. I absorb the credit card fee in my business as a cost of doing business and as a service to my customers.

Price Busters showed up in about a half day (non-emergency), were honest and easy to work with. They gave me two free estimates depending on what they thought the issues might be and how I wanted to proceed to fix it. Tightened up a leak while he was looking into it and was just great and professional to work with.…

I had a leak on a 50 year old outdoor frost-proof faucet. The company got back to me quickly and scheduled a visit. They were upfront about everything. The technician did a great job talking me through the required repair and even made a suggestion that minimized the the impact on drywall. He respectfully offered to…

Our plumber, Nick, was very good! He was super nice, super informative! I have a bigger dog, named Rosie, and he was very excited to meet her, when I told her, "not everyone is a posie friend." He said, very matter of factly, "I AM her friend." Very very nice!

We've used Price Busters multiple times now, first for sewer line repair and second for resolving an outdated and leaking faucet. Both times we were given expert service and extremely competitive pricing. Especially for the sewer they were able to undercut everyone by almost 50% since most contract out to them.…
