DISHONEST AS CAN BE!
Was having a problem with my sewer line.
I requested quotes on Yelp.
Pasquale from P&A contacted me and said he could come take a look.
He came and he said that the trap was about 100 years old and needed to be replaced.
He said it would cost $2,800. I asked why it was that much.
He said that it required 2 guys for 2 days.
I asked if he could do any better on the price and he did take $200 off.
He came back a few days later to do the job.
He was here, by himself, for 3.5 hrs.
He said it was done except for the cement which he would do the next day.
He came back the next day and was done in 20 mins.
I asked him about a couple of other things.
He did unclog a shower drain for me.
My new dehumidified arrived while he was here.
It only had a 1 gallon bucket for the condensation.
I asked if there was a way to run a hose from the unit into the sewer
so that I didn't have to empty the bucket 5x a day.
He said he'd come back on Friday and run a PVC pipe into the sewer.
I didn't want there to be any confusion.
So, I asked, you're doing that as a favor, right?.
He asked me to repeat. I did. He said yes and we shook hands.
On Friday, I messaged to confirm he was coming.
He said he had a family issue to deal with and he could come next week.
The following Tuesday, I messaged and he said we could arrange a time.
And he said the job would be $375.
I reminded him he said he would do as a favor.
He said that he couldn't because his boss at the company he worked for wouldn't
approve. That didn't sound right and I told him so.
Then he said that he could do it on his own time if I paid for materials and gas.
I asked how much that would be. He said $300.
Even with all the current inflation, gas and a few feet of PVC pipe not going to be more than $50.
He then went into a diatribe about not wanting to get in trouble with the company.
He went on and on.
And it's all B*LLSH*T.
His name is Pasquale and his lady friend is Anna.
They are the P and the A of P&A Sewer.
So, that means he lies about everything.
I told him what I thought of how he conducts himself.
He said you think I am a bad person because I won't give you something for free?.
I said no, you're a bad person because you are dishonest and a big liar.
When he told me that the sewer job would be 2 men for 1.5 - 2 days, I felt that the price was not unreasonable and didn't shop around.
The job turned out to be 1 guy for 4 hours!
There is no way that he didn't know that.
When he came, I asked where his partner was.
He said just me. So, he lied from the beginning.
I paid $2,600 for an $800 job.
Yes, shame on me for taking his word and for not shopping around.
But that doesn't excuse him for being a lying sc*mbag!
And then all the BS about his boss at the company when he is the owner.....
