What recent reviews say

Matt, Jacob, David, Jordan, Jerel, Joshua, Jarrell, and Aaron reliably show up in storms and explain repairs step-by-step, winning 95 percent five-star ratings. One clogged sewer needed a second opinion, but the team refunded the bill and earned back trust through honest follow-up.

They tackle emergency leaks, busted pipes, water heater swaps, and apartment complexes alike. Technicians arrive early, work through obstacles, and send videos of finished work. Pricing runs high on after-hours calls, though reviewers note it reflects the premium of weekend and evening availability.

Praised for
  • emergency availability in bad weather
  • named technicians explain work clearly
  • fast diagnosis and repair
  • fair pricing for after-hours service
  • responsive when issues arise
Watch-outs
  • limited problem-solving on difficult clogs
  • initial upsell of expensive replacement without full effort
punctualresponsiveskilled-workmanshipshowed-up-on-timefriendly-technicianquick-turnaroundfair-pricingupfront-quote
Best for: homeowners and apartment managers needing reliable emergency service on nights and weekends.
Think twice if: hard clogs may need a second contractor if initial snake attempt does not clear; after-hours pricing reflects emergency availability.

Common questions

Can you come out at night or on weekends?
Yes. Matt came at 6 p.m. before an ice storm, and another customer had a water bib fixed on a Sunday in bad weather. First-thing-morning appointments are also available.
What happens if a repair does not work on the first try?
The team refunded a $500 sewer snake service when an initial unclog attempt did not fully resolve the problem, though the customer later called another plumber who finished the job quickly.
Will the technician explain the work?
Yes. Multiple reviews mention technicians explain everything clearly, and Jordan Brown provides videos of completed work.

Call Dad delivers fast HVAC repairs with technicians who take time to diagnose issues thoroughly and explain options clearly. Customers consistently praise the friendly, respectful service and honest approach to pricing, with several noting same-day fixes and availability through their AI receptionist. Two recent no-shows stand out against an otherwise strong track record of punctuality and follow-through. The crew includes named technicians like Jayson, Robert, Isiah, and Q who routinely earn praise for knowledge and professionalism. The business offers maintenance plans, military discounts, and handles repairs from simple refrigerant recharges to heat pump replacements. One customer specifically highlighted fair pricing and a lack of pressure to overspend on unnecessary work.
