Best Ceiling Light Installation in Seattle WA

Michael's Handyman Services Plumbing Service
Good- quick availability, fast work, problem resolved
Bad - quality of finished work/product, lack of transparency

Summary - if your problem requires replacing your toilet, I would recommend you to go to the store to ensure what is purchased meets your needs.

Details -
We had Michael's come in to look at a plumbing issue. The person who came to fix the problem suggested that we replace the entire toilet. I had specifically told them that I want the same kind of toilet before he went to the store to purchase. After the work was done, I found that the one installed did not match the base size, seat cover, handles. I was told that what he got was the only kind available. However, this weekend when my husband went to Lowe's (which is the closest place to us), he found the exact one like ours.

Considering I spent close to $600
(which includes about $100 including taxes to get rid of the old toilet), I am not super happy about how the new toilet looks. I don't like the plastic seat and cover and guess that can be replaced but that's for another day. There was no transparency about the options for the new toilet or the breakdown of the cost (how much was spent on the parts vs labor) and there wasn't much choice i had when I saw the new one after it was all installed.

Hunt's Services Plumbing Service
We had a plugged toilet and I called around to find a company to get it flowing again. Hunt Services could not provide me with a quote as they said they had to come out and see the issue. The technician arrived and provided me 3 quotes. The first for $280 to use a Kmart brand fish tape about 3 feet long because nothing would get all the way through the toilet. The second for $780 because if the first would not work, he would have to pull the toilet Its the only way the 3rd for $1200 to replace the toilet because he said was construction grade and the problem would only repeat.

I asked if he had a longer snake and he said no. The Cheap 3 ft was the only thing that would get through the toilet.

Danny was rude and condescending and believing that because he was right there, I would concede and have him fix the problem and he would walk away with up to $2,000.

I declined.

I found a local plumber in Burien, he was out that night at 8:30pm. He had a snake that would go past the toilet and unclogged the drain in 10 minutes. All that for $180.

Be aware that Hunt Services is only on the hunt for your money.

1. No quote
2. Layer after layer of bids knowing full well that the 1st quote would not work.
3. Trying to force an upgrade (my toilet has worked flawlessly for over 5 years)
4. Rude technicians who obviously are on commission and only care about getting their commission.

As a small business owner - I am embarrassed for them as they come across as folksy small businesspeople, when, in my opinion, they are simply opportunist praying on the misfortunes of others.

Get a few bids - don't be desperate and save yourself thousands of dollars by staying away from Hunt Services. Thats just my opinion.
