Highly recommend Miami Shores Plumbing! Great value. Great communication.
The first visit to snake the main drain I forgot to present the Angie's list discount coupon. The plumber quickly cleared my drain line. I watched him from the time he arrived until the drain was cleared which took him about 1/2 hour. When he didn't present himself to be paid 15 minutes later, I walked around and found him hanging out by the side of the house. When I asked him what he was doing he said he had to put his equipment away. 1/2 hour later he presented a bill for 2 hours. I argued the time with him and he insisted I pay for the second hour even though it was clear he only worked for 45 minutes. I chalked it up to one bad employee.
The second visit I had my iPone stopwatch app and Angie's list coupon in hand upon the plumber's arrival. It was a different plumber and he easily completed the work, packed up and presented the bill within 45 minutes. When I handed him the Angie's list coupon he said that he had already applied it by not charging me for the second hour. I showed him the iPone indicating he had only been there 45 minutes and he still refused the coupon and insisted he was entitled to charge for 2 hours. He took the coupon and said he would give it to the office, but that was the last I heard from them.
The first hour is more expensive than subsequent hours as that covers their travel time and expense. They say the time starts upon arrival, but they charge beyond the actual work time. I switched to Douglas Orr Plumbing. They quote the Angie's list price on the phone, their rates are lower and they only charge for the hours worked.
After our original water heater broke, they replaced it with a new instant style water heater that they recommended, this was a several hundred dollar job. The new water heater never worked right from day one ! The heater came on, but there wasn't even enough hot water for one sink. It was like not having hot water at all.
Eventually out of frustration I called another plumber. They told me that the water heater did work but should have never been installed, it was the wrong size and configuration for the installation. It could only provide enough hot water for one sink to run at low, yet we have three sinks and a washing machine.
After finding this out I called Miami Shores plumbing, assuming they would make it right. Miami Shores sent a guy out who agreed with the other plumber. He confirmed that the water heater Miami Shores installed was not the right size and would never work in our space and that we would need a traditional water heater installed. Of course I was angry that they had installed in the first place, but I was initially relieved they admitted their mistake.
My relief quickly turned to anger though when they told me they would not give me any credit for the wrong installation they recommended and did. When I asked that they credit us for the cost of the water heater they installed that never worked (not labor - just the actual water heater), they said no.
They took advantage of me to try to get two installations paid for, and admitted it. When I asked for the owner to take a look at what they had done, I was told and quot;too bad.and quot; I can't recommend enough that you don't do business with them, nothing is worse than dishonesty.
Friendly and professional service, will use them again thanks.
