If you have a lot of $$$$ to spare AND you want to support this business, make an appointment with them. They are pleasant enough and do god work. BUT, if cost and transparency of fees matters to you...go elsewhere. We went to RAM plumbing. They did a fabulous job. Adios Rite Way. We have used Rite Way several times over the last few years and even signed up for the maintenance program. They are CONSISTENTLY overpriced and always try to sell stuff you don't really need. While they seem to do good work and the products seem to be good, you can get MUCH better prices with same quality elsewhere. And we have gone elsewhere. For example, our last call to repair our HVAC...Their fee for repair was going to be almost $3000. When I asked for more details about why we needed a new pipe...the answer indicated no good reason other than to have a new one along with everything else that would be new. We got a second opinion...and paid $300 instead of almost $3K! A MAJOR problem with Rite Way is that they do NOT provide a breakdown of parts and labor--even when specifically asked for a breakdown. They provide an estimate based on the job. So if they say, for example, you need a certain amount of AC refrigerant before they've measured what you need, you pay that. In the last scenario, we were told we needed 12 [whatever unit it is measured in] and we actually needed less than 1. That stuff is expensive and we would have to pay for it all. They are running a scam with their friendly faces, fast talk--you get quick service...but you pay a lot for that. Customer LOST for good. [3 stars only because they do good work, are respectful and knowledgable...otherwise, it would be 1 star]

Reached out to get a quote on a new HVAC system Jonathon Brown call me to confirm He was on his way , gave me attitude about having to drive one hour to my property. When he arrived nothing but attitude continued. I decided that this company was not the right fit to continue. This company sure doesn't know the RIGH WAY to work with customers.

The right company at the right time to do the right job. Was calling for an electrician to fix the outage of a couple electrical plugs in my garage. It turned out that right way had picked up an extra occupation of electrician. I was very surprised and very pleased when angel showed up at the door to repair the problem. And was extremely good at finding the problem and taking care of it in a relatively short time. I will tell my family and friends the right way. Has electricians on end. A job well done five stars.
