"Warning: Do not hire Drago for any plumbing or handyman work. He presents himself as a plumber but is actually a handyman who will ask you for a 40% deposit upfront. If you make that mistake, you will lose your sleep and will keep chasing him. He will tire you out with excuses because all he wants is the deposit without doing any work. He does not have any tools and is unreliable.
I hired Drago to change the house trap, for which he took a $1000 deposit. He claimed it was a big job involving digging up the lawn and assured me that he would complete the work in a timely manner. However, it turned out to be a normal blockage that was later cleared with an eel. Drago made it sound like he was doing me a favor by only charging $3000, claiming he was saving me money, and walked away with $1000 without completing the job.
When I asked him for a refund, he started giving excuses, saying the job was not complete and that I needed maintenance. Despite telling him I did not want to see him on the property and that I would leave a negative review, he responded callously, saying he didn't care and that it didn't impact him. He even threatened to report issues in my home to the building inspector, claiming he had contacts with the city.
It was a frustrating and disappointing experience, and I would strongly advise against hiring Drago for any plumbing or handyman work. Spread the word to help others avoid this untrustworthy individual and prevent them from falling into a similar situation."
