I used Mighty Plumbing to install a ductless mini split AC. Zach was my sales man, he quoted me a price that we agreed on and set the date for an upcoming Monday for the install. The Friday before, I contacted Zach to verify the details and price, which he confirmed. The install was set for 8am Monday morning. At 847am the day of the install, Zach texts me a message detailing they had a massive price increase over the weekend and now the quoted price we had agreed on, and confirmed, would be $3,000 more... after push back, he said they could reduce it $300, so $2700 more than initially agreed on. Mind you, I have called off all the other companies I got quotes from, and we're staring down the barrel of 90-100 degree weather for the foreseeable future. I had no other choice but to move forward, but is this how a reputable company should do business??? Get a customer in the door with an attractive quote then pull the sheet out from under once you have them cornered?
Additionally Zach promised work would be done in 1 day, it took 2 days with lots of loose ends to tie up- took them two weeks and lots of contact from me to repair the dry wall they had to remove and seal the holes they made on the outside of my property. Additionally was never even given an invoice, or copies of the permits they supposedly pulled. I contacted the main office and Kelly was very nice and helped me coordinate these things, she seemed equally surprised at how they had dropped the ball on all these details. I've asked multiple times to speak with the owner, or someone who could offer me some kind of explanation as to how prices can drastically change $3,000 from an agreed upon price over the weekend. Seems convenient for them, or likely a massive screw up that is being brushed under the rug. Ridiculous.
The silver lining- I'm happy with the product so far and the Install crew (Zeke and Angel) were very respectful of me and my home and did great work. All things considered, the overall headache and questionable business practices would really make me question working with this company again. To date, I have not received even an apology. I'm considering filing with the BBB because this type of business practice is unethical, and shady at best. Feels like I was purchasing a car at a used lot on Colfax, sketchy. Buyer beware!
