It's very rare that I would get online and write a bad review for someone, but The Plumbers Inc repeatedly failed during our bathroom remodel so I really think this needs to be shared.
We hired The Plumbers Inc to replace our shower valve, install a new bathtub, move our toilet, and install a new bathroom vanity. During the initial bid, they told me getting a permit was optional and I said I wanted it to be permitted. So, they wrote into the contract 3 times that they would take care of the permit.
The plumber who did the majority of the install was not very communicative and just left the house without talking to us when he was done. He also kept the door open while sawing a hole in the subfloor to get to the crawlspace, which stunk up the house and was inconsiderate especially since we have a small baby. There were a lot of delays in scheduling as well.
After completing the work and having gotten full payment from me, there was no word from them on getting an inspection. So, I reached out and asked if they were going to schedule one for the permit and they scheduled one for the following day.
The inspection failed horribly. First of all, The Plumbers Inc neglected to schedule a rough-in inspection before the new floors/tiling was installed over the new plumbing so the inspector couldn't even see what he needed to approve. Secondly, he saw that they had installed the tub spout wrong.
The Plumbers Inc apologized to me and sent out plumbers to take a look and to go into our crawl space to take pictures & videos to make up for not having done a rough-in inspection. They sent different plumbers than the one who had done the original install, and these new plumbers said that the original plumber had installed the bathtub so poorly that there were 2 leaks in our crawlspace in addition to the wrongly installed tub spout.
In order to fix the tub spout since they didn't do the rough-in inspection and find out it was wrong before the tiling was set, we had to wait another week and they had to saw open my master bedroom wall to get to the piping without disturbing the new tile. They had a handyman come out to fix that and he used some sort of texturizing solution that smelled so bad all throughout our house that we had to leave the house for a few hours & open all the windows (with a baby during the pandemic, so we had nowhere to go).
After all of this, the inspector came back and they failed it again because The Plumbers Inc hadn't sent him the photos and videos they took a week and a half earlier. So, I called them again and then it took another week or so for them to get the photos from the plumbers. Then they finally sent them.
And it failed the inspection again!! The photos they sent showed insufficient support for the tub spout. And remember they had just sawed open my wall to fix that tub spout and then repaired the wall. So, I called The Plumbers Inc again and they said they'd get back to me with a plan.
They never got back to me, but I reached out to the inspector the next week and he said he got a new photo from them that showed that the support had been fixed and the inspection passed. I said that's weird because they haven't been out here to fix this since they sent the photo that failed, and I haven't heard back from them. So, I called The Plumbers Inc again to try to understand what happened. The people I had been talking with prior were out all week. So I called them this week for an explanation and they said they accidentally sent the wrong photos the first time showing the tub spout before it was fixed.
All in all, there was so much bad communication, unprofessional mistakes and delays. And all of this was found out because I asked about the inspection which they never even took initiative to schedule in the first place. If I hadn't done that, there would be a badly installed tub still leaking into my crawlspace and an open permit that was never inspected in their name. I'm very unhappy with the experience I had with The Plumbers Inc and would not recommend them.I
