I contacted them and asked for a time when they could promise to have a plumber at a customer's 2nd home so they could come down and be there. We had to wait two weeks. No problem. It was a job of installing a tub to the drain and water lines to the tub. Well they didn't show up or call for 2 days. After numerous messages, they did call and had a guy show up on Friday. He looked at it, got his parts list, and left saying he would return Monday 8/1. The tub was set in the bath area, no unpacking to do. At 9 am Monday he did show up, installed tub and water supply lines to the tub. He left just before 2pm.
Today we got a bill for his 5 hours. $4950.00 for hooking up a tub. I called only to get an argumentative Megan. She told me 'they had to pull a permit'. I explained I had the plumbing permit pulled and paid for 3 weeks earlier. She then said the parts cost a $1000. Well the bill shows parts on it and the cost of $350. The same parts can be bought for $123.
She then said it was on the 11th floor and they have to pay insurance to cover them incase of any leaks. Well I also carry liability insurance, a million 2 policy, and it doesn't me but $3200 a year.
Long story made short, they basically charged $825 per hour for putting in a tub. Ridiculous pricing and they deserve to be called out on their unethical practices.
