Due to the late hour, he started with the install of the bathroom faucets (all connects and stainless plumber's putty - he didn't bother to use putty - were provided for him because I did not want any delays). Problems became apparent when faucets were turned on to test without the drain in place and water was everywhere in new wood cabinet. Next problem was apparently that lift rods did not match my sinks which were "shallow" but Kohler does not identify them as shallow. Apparently the "custom" solution of bending the metal (each sink done a different way) did not solve the situation as neither lift knob sits on the faucet as it should (elevated over 1/2 inch), there is no tension to pull drain cover up and down, and in one sink the lift drain cover is now not operational at all.
This went from bad to worse. He said when he would come back on Tuesday "after work" - late again and I am a paying customer - we could test them for leaks with putting a paper towel down under each sink. Test for leaks? I had just paid him $390 for installation. After he left, I put paper towels down under each and there was water coming up from the connections that the drain pipe goes into the PVC. Cannot even use the sinks and the sink to the right was set in crocked.
Without sleeping and becoming more upset, I called Mary at 7:05 am Sunday morning to tell her that the installation had gone so badly. She said she would have Mr. Dattile contact me first thing Monday morning (as I did not want him to have to come out on Sunday). I told her I did not want their "only" plumber in my house again.
Mary called Monday Aug 3 at 8:33 am to tell me she was going to contact Mr. Dattile to come by. I told her I had expected him to be here first thing as this job had been done so poorly. She would call me back. When I had to call her back at 9:00 she told me she could have Mr. Dattile stop by in the afternoon because he was on another job. Enough! She said she was very sorry (but sorry does not provide me with a non-leaking install).
I rescheduled with North County Plumbing, Inc.(561) 625-9414 for Tuesday at 9 am to replace kitchen faucet for $157.00 and fix whatever is wrong with my "newly installed" bathroom fixtures. They were so professional on the phone and thorough with timeframe guaranteed and quote for all work. After feeling ripped off by Dattile Plumbing for last time, I am looking forward to being treated as a valued customer (even if I am not the "new construction boss's son").
I had called another plumber, not only did he call 20 minutes prior to arriving he also contacted me after the job and locked the gate to my property. It took him less than 30 minutes to install the disposal. And I was GLAD to hand him a check for a higher costing disposal because I now the work was completed PROFESSIONALLY.
Disappointed and I dont feel the need to chase any service to have work done on my house that we are paying for!!!
"Mr Dattile replaced the master bath fill valve, flapper &supply tube &brass nut Replace the pivot rod for pop-up on Lav sink Gave a huge discount to customer.....$147.00...this is well below the average cost to repair above items."
