Grateful customer makes unqualified highest recommendation of this business owner.
Overall, everything was great about them and I will happily use them in the future. The price was much more affordable than what I expected and the plumbers communicated with me through the whole process of what they were doing and why. Great experience and I highly recommend.
I was told that it always costs more to install as they have to use silicone for the sink and put a new ring in for the toilet. Sounded right to me but was still unsure as to the huge increase.
After I paid by check and they left, I took a closer look at the bill and noticed they charged me 1.5 hours for the installation when they were there less than 45 minutes!.
I called the office and spoke to Joe who said that wasn't right and had the front office correct it. I was then charged for only an hours' work (they don't charge for any less) and was told they would shred the check I gave them and to send them a new one.
Would I recommend them? You bet as the office knows how to treat customers and their workers did a great job.
MILITARY BEWARE
I have a rental home in Shreveport that I bought when I was stationed there. I was quoted $1900 from Robert Brown Plumbing to fix a leaking pipe under my kitchen sink. I was told the reason it was so high is because the only way to fix that leak was to tear out part of the kitchen floor and part of the kitchen cabinets and the labor for that work ran up the price. When Robert Brown Plumbing came to do the job they changed the original plan to go in through the kitchen instead drilling holes on the outside walls and hung the pipes on the outside of the house and did not do any of the tear out. It was a half days work and they were gone by the time I had the contractor there to give me the estimate for reinstalling the kitchen cabinets and floor.
I agreed to the quote they gave to my insurance company which was $400 to fix the pipes and $1500 for the tear out.
This is also poor workmanship the first time it freezes those PVC pipes are going to break. Not to mention any other weather damage. They are exposed on a shared narrow driveway. I'm going to have to pay to have it done right and have the siding repaired.
"Mr. (member name removed). We appreciate your business and we are sorry for this situation but we are currently working with you to resolve this. I have to assume that this review was submitted before you spoke to the owner yesterday as I just received it this morning (2/5/15). We agreed that there was a miscommunication between our office and you and we are in the process of making it right. After the owner spoke with you yesterday, he stated that you were happy with the solution proposed. I hope that is still the case and this was submitted prior to that conversation. I will contact you today to make sure that you are still satisfied with that proposition. Our ultimate goal is providing our customers with quality plumbing services and customer service. We are working to take care of you and make sure you are satisfied with the plumbing services we have rendered. We hope that this is resolved to your satisfaction swiftly. Sincerely, Heather Brown Business Administrator Robert Brown Plumbing, LLC"
"I am so sorry to read this. I spoke to our master plumber and he did remember speaking to you about your options for a plumbing issue between 6 months to a year ago. Any good contractor, upon noticing problem is going to continue happening, will open a discussion of what can be done to resolve the problem for the long term. Continuing to repair an issue is not a solution if the problem will happen again a month or 6 months down the road. A plumbing proposal/bid is not a contract until both parties agree to the terms and is more of an option, not a command of what to choose. This is why we were confused to hear about your dissatisfaction with a bid and honestly concerned because it stems from an alleged accusation of dishonesty from an unnamed competitor. This competitor may not have the experience of our master plumber, discussed the same scenarios, have made the same observations concerning the same issue, and the competitor may be practicing unfair competition practices. The proposed price in question was just one of a few scenarios given. This scenario is where we would have replaced the majority of your homes plumbing (all water and drain piping, involving) and would have been a major overhaul, hence the price. Again, this was not the only option discussed and could be classified as a worst case scenario. Customer satisfaction is a priority for Robert Brown Plumbing, and we would have loved to have resolved any questions or concerns you may have had at the time if we had simply been contacted. We do apologize for any slight you may have felt and that you did not feel that you could contact us at the time to discuss the difference of opinion by this other company."
I'm a new homeowner, so I'm a complete newbie when it comes with home repairs. I called this company based on the reviews here on Angie List. I set up an appointment, and the plumber Dan came to repair the leaks. Dan was on time, but even better, he was patient, kind, and professional. He gave me some pointers to consider as a new homeowner too.
Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I would definitely use them again.
