Secong Mistake. Called SPENGLER without doing a bit of research.
Third Mistake. Called SPENGLER a second time to verify someone was coming after waiting 90 minutes. Plumer finally arrive 20 minutes later. By the way.....an emergency fee of $160.00 was charged, just for driving out to our house on short notice. I later found out, plenty of plumbers will make an emergency house call without the added expense. Only the usual fees apply.
Fourth Mistake. Paid $469.00 for someone working for SPENGLER to just cap the lines. Not fix the problem, but just cap the lines. Outrageously overpriced......bordering theft. To fix the problem I was quoted and would've paid approximately between $1800.00 to $3600.00. Yes, that is correct $1800-$3600 just to change the shower/tub unit and plumbing.
I later hired another plumber. Who accomplised the work for $350 including parts and labor.
Please do yourself a huge favor and do a little research and place a few calls. There are still plenty of True Honest Hard Working Professionals looking to do great work at an honest wage.
I am grateful that I was able to get the pump replaced. I just wished it was not so expensive. I fully support our local businesses and that's why I use them. However, sometimes they make it hard to come back for services. If I had an option, I probably would have shopped around more before choosing a company. This was a crisis, so no time to research and schedule an appointment.
I have read some of the reviews on this site and I have to say I am shocked. I had the exact opposite experience than others. I would highly recommend this company to others.
Thanks. Spengler.
However, their pricing scheme is not what angered me. The day they arrived for work, I overheard the lead, Chad, tell the workers that he never heard of installing a pressure reducer at the meter before and that I probably didn't know what I was talking about and instructed workers NOT install the pressure reducer. I was shocked and interrupted. I told him that he was installing it and that it was in the work order to do so and that I was paying Spengler to do so. That should have been of end of discussion right there. Customer is always right especially when they've done their research.
Well, he insisted that I did not need a pressure reducer at the meter and I insisted that he install one. I told him of my conservations with the water company and the history. Spengler didn't believe me and thus I had to go through the headache and trouble to contact the water company and to get them to send someone out to pressure test the line for Spengler and prove my case. Needless to say I was not happy about this and the water company was not happy about this. The water company did send a man out finally to pressure test the line for Spengler. Afterward, the water company representative recommend to Spengler to install a pressure reducer at the meter like I requested. Thus Spengler finally did. I don't know why I had to go through all this. My husband was angry and called Spengler and talked to a manager. They said Chad was to apologize but he came the next day to collect the other half of the bill and never said anything.
the basement floor. This was on a Saturday morning that I called
Spengler. He came out and capped the hot/cold pipes to prevent any more
leaking. He said his van was in the shop and he didn't have the right
tools to cut the tub surround (had loaned his Dremel to someone, and
they had not returned the tool). So he proceeded to chip away at the
opening in our tub surround, to get his hand in the opening to cap the
lines (he didn't offer the option of opening an access panel behind the
toilet in the other bathroom). He did not offer to fix the problem that
day but asked that I call back on Monday. He left with a mess in the
tub and charged their premium service call of $139.00!
