I own a practically brand new former model home in Fuquay Varina with a nice elderly couple as my tenants. I was notified of a sink issue, where the hot water would come on, a loud buzzing and the water would slow to a crawl. I researched on the net and found this page for Roberts and read reviews and thought theyd be great for this job. I called and spoke to a gentleman about the issue, he said he was currently under a house doing work, but call back and leave name, address and phone on his voicemail and he would see me promptly the next evening at 6 at the residence. I Asked an approximate cost so Id be prepared, he said about 125.00 and I said great see you then. I did call back within 5 minutes and left info he had requested. I also explained I would be coming to see what was wrong, check on some other issues and of course be there to provide immediate payment for his services. In addition explained to him that it was a long drive for me to get there and he again confirmed Tuesday, 6pm. On Tuesday I got in my car around 430 and started on my way. At 6:15 when he hadnt arrived, I called the number listed again and got the voicemail I had left my information on the previous day and left a message stating I was in Fuquay waiting for him and id hate to think i had done all this driving and he wasnt going to show, I left my cell phone number and fully expected a call back. One did not come. I sat at my house with my tenants until after 8pm Tuesday evening and heard nothing from Roberts Repair..... I was a little aggravated but something must have come up and so I left and drove all the way back home expecting they would at LEAST call me today, Wednesday to reschedule. I have still not heard back from them and I think thats very unprofessional, rude and shows a lack of basic customer service. It shows me they must be filthy rich beyond all means that they can just shrug off business like that. Apparently Roberts is not as good as the two reviews stated, though he must have done a good job for them. It still doesnt explain why the complete blow off and aggravation caused to me by a no show and over 24 hours with no call back. I would NEVER suggest or use Roberts at any time in the future and I would encourage you to find someone else as well. Good news is after sitting and waiting, I got under the sink to see what was happening and after some tinkering around seemingly have fixed what he could made 125.00 on so it worked out, but doesnt explain his actions to me at all.. Buyer Beware.. in this economy we dont have to put up with businesses like this. There are many others who want to work and wont treat the consumer in this manner. That is my experience with Roberts Plumbing and Repair in Fuquay Varina NC
Pros: they talk a good game on the phone
Cons: but then they not only dont show up, they dont return calls
