Installation Issues

Fred Smith Plumbing received a 2-star review from Ella Parker, who had a disappointing experience with the company. The installation of her garbage disposer was plagued with issues, including incorrect wiring, miswiring, and sparks nearly causing a fire. The company's staff handling calls and emails was also unresponsive, leading to a two-week postponement of the appointment. Parker ultimately solved the problem by purchasing a simple air switch from a supply store and installing it herself.

Positive Experience

Diana Goldstein, Romanie Baines, and John Mermelstein had excellent experiences with Fred Smith Plumbing. Andy, Stefan, and the staff were all praised for their professionalism, patience, and neat work.

Unprofessional Behavior

Brittney Reimert, Jean Butel, and Mike Samtur had negative experiences with the company. They reported poor communication, cancellations, and no-shows. Samtur's experience was particularly egregious, with the company not showing up despite repeated promises and eventually claiming that the job was too small to be worth their time.
