"The quality of my professionalism ( I show up on time, return phone calls and I'm insured for $1 million dollars of liability coverage ) and my work is always in the best interest of the client, whenever possible. I have an outstanding reputation in this city. Sometimes the on site conditions and personality differences, will dictate otherwise, as is the case with the [Member Name Removed]'s condo. In a phone conversation with Mr [Member Name Removed], I informed him that the kitchen sink drain plumbing was NOT leaking when I left the job, as witnessed by his wife. I ran lots of water thru to make sure, as always. Something occurred over night. Could happen to anyone. I said it could be something as simple as a loose fitting, and that I would gladly fix it. I stand by my work, always. I have been in business for over thirty years and have never run into a situation like this? On the one hand Ms [Member Name Removed] was very complimentary about my work. I had trimmed out a mirror in the master bath, that she said was done well. When in conversation with Mr [Member Name Removed], he admitted that he should give me a chance to correct the plumbing issue, as is the usual case in these matters. By then though, I reconsidered and decided that I didn't want work for them anymore, considering how they were handling the discrepancy. I remain steadfast in my conduct. The rate increase went into effect with ALL my new clients, as were the McGraths. I wish them the very best with their sale of the condo."
Material costs ran slightly higher than they had estimated and I was quite happy to pay the added cost when I saw how well the job had done. I feel both men were completely trustworthy, would not hesitate to recommend them to any one, and would hire them in the future.
