Recently, however, we noticed things began to change. We had tried hiring Ryan and Company for a minor repair to the toilet and they never answered our call. We figured they were just a little busy. No problem.
My wife and I decided to re-tile the bathroom floor and replace the vanity. Despite the missed call, we wanted to give the work to Ryan and Company. Mr. Ryan's son, Kevin, provided a fair estimate and explained the project. We have an old toilet from 1926 where the tank hangs on the wall. We did not have the budget to repair and replace the whole wall so we opted for a toilet rebuild which required all the parts in the tank to be replaced. Since we were re-tiling the floor, the toilet needed to be temporarily moved. We also discussed replacing the vanity. My wife ordered a vanity online and we were off to the races...
The plumber, Tom, arrived on Monday. He didn't have all the parts he needed but he quickly ran to the supply house, got what he needed and removed the toilet without incident. He also removed the vanity as agreed. The new vanity was already in the house. I specifically asked Tom if he had all the parts he needed and if he expected any issues. I also offered to help him carry the new vanity up to the second floor when the time came.
The tile project was complete and we scheduled Tom to come back on Friday. When Tom came back he was completely unprepared. He did not have the correct parts on the truck and there were 5 stops to the supply house during the day. During the project, Tom was polite and tried his best. It wasn't the most efficient project but eventually the job got done. The toilet works and the vanity is installed. Our dissatisfaction was with the way the job was left. Tom left a mess on the brand new tile floor and wood trimmings from the vanity in the drawers and garbage in the house.
On Friday night we sent an email to Erin from Ryan and Company requesting a phone call from Kevin ASAP. On Saturday morning, Erin returned our call. We expressed our dissatisfaction with the mess left behind. She immediately became defensive. She offered to send Tom back. We did not need to speak with Tom again. We asked to speak with Kevin since he was the person who performed the estimate and understood the scope of the project. We emailed pictures of the condition and we figured we would hear from Kevin on Monday.
Literally 15 minutes later, the doorbell rings. It was Mr. William Ryan himself! He arrived to our property unannounced to discuss the situation. At first I was happy that he would take the time to stop by. However, Mr. Ryan arrived angry and defensive. He explained that it was not their job to clean up after themselves. "We are not a cleaning service." He claimed that installing the vanity was not in the scope. It was supposed to be a pedestal sink. ?!? He accused us of insulting Tom and bad mouthing his company. Until now, the only person we spoke with was Erin. We explained that we actually liked his company and verbally recommended them in the past. This behavior was so uncharacteristic of the man my wife and I had met several times before. He literally brought my wife to tears. Clearly, Mr. Ryan disagreed with my our assessment that the job was left a mess. He believes it is okay to leave construction materials on the floor. That is his prerogative. However, there was no need to be combative. He could have easily taken the high road. All we needed was a simple apology. Or even a half a$$ed apology for the mess.
He asked that, "We never call him again and that we not recommend his company to anyone." So, Mr. Ryan, I will grant you your wish.
I would NOT recommend that anyone work with William Ryan and Co, especially Mr. Ryan. What was once an honest, reliable company has now lowered its standard and feels it is necessary to make excuses instead of solving the problem. As the proverb goes, a fish rots from the head down. William Ryan has lost his way and has lowered the standard to which we were accustomed in the past.
"Thank You [Member Name Removed] It was a pleasure to work for you and your family!"
"Thank you for your overall positive review of our company and services. We are aware that there were some issues at the beginning of your project with regard to our responsiveness. We are sorry that once those issues were worked out you were still unhappy and will not be using our services again."
"Hi [member name removed], We are sorry that you feel our quality of work did not last . We do guarantee or work and did not receive a call back from you. Our Computer Records go back to 2010 and show that we have not done any work for you in the last 4+ years. We do show your name in our computer but no other information. We notice your address is a PO BOX which is not in our computer either."
"[member name removed], We are sorry that our proposal was not competitive enough. In the future, we could always provide a proposal with three price options that would suit your needs. Thank You Ryan & Co."
