During the inspection, the plumber wrote down which areas needed to be fixed and gave me the quote to fix all problems the same day. He called his employer and received the costs for all services and let me know that I can call his office to schedule a day to start the project. Upon calling the office, the receptionist was friendly and took down which services I wanted done and I confirmed that the prices were as given to me by the plumber.
The plumber came to fix the areas agreed by myself to fix but then ended up fixing 2 toilets instead of 1 and then told me that replacing the cartridge for the shower faucet was going to be over $800.00 because he needed to go through the next door neighbor's wall to fix. Being a resident manager, I knew this was not correct so I decided not to use this company to replace the shower faucet cartridge. Needless to say, I was upset that the plumber fixed more than agreed upon and that I was billed for both toilets. Upon talking to Ray, he said he will only charge me for 1 toilet rebuild since that was what I made the appointment for. After I spoke to the receptionist, she rudely told me that the plumber gave me the wrong price, originally quoted at $145.00 for a whole toilet rebuild and that I have to pay $175.00. She refused to honor the written quote that the plumber had given me.
Having worked with many contractors, Pete's Plumbing was very disappointing and unprofessional. I will not use them again for any future services for fear of non-commitment and extreme over-charging.
"We are so sorry [member name removed] is dissatisfied with our service. Our records indicate that we did do a full $44 whole house inspection of the property, which is a visual walk through evaluation of possible plumbing issues. To address her complaint, the $145 price for the toilet was a discounted price because it was one part of a larger estimate. In addition to the toilet repairs, we were to replace a shower handle, or the handle and the valve and install an access panel(+$125), which is where there may have been a miscommunication. Because [member name removed] decided to go with the toilet only, the discount on the price for the toilet repair was removed and the normal price for this service was charged. An addititional repair to a second toilet was made at "no charge", because at the time of the repairs to the second toilet she stated that approval was given for one toilet only. This second charge for the toilet was removed. We are not aware of any "free" sink repairs, nor was there any call from [member name removed] to say that the repair was not completed to her satisfaction or that the pipes were still leaking. So there is no comment on that issue. It is always our intention to treat our clients with the respect and consideration that we expect for ourselves and our families and we apologize for any misunderstanding with regards to this matter."
