Sharkey Plumbing & Heating

Did not even look for the leak, faucets should have been replaced on shower. They did nothing despite huge water stain on floor.

Was supposed to be there at 8 a.m. got there at 8:45 a.m. Not a big deal to me. Had to go find different connections to fit the water lines. Returned approximately 9:30. Then spent the next half-hour asking my husband about his pick-up. I had to leave to go to work. My husband said the plumber left shortly after I left because he had another job that had to be completed by noon and told the plumber he would leave the door unlocked for him. I returned approximately 3 p.m. and all work was completed. Plumber left at 3:30 after visiting with my husband about fishing for the last half hour. I discovered there was a leak in dishwasher connection and called office approximately 15 minutes after plumber left. I was told he (plumber) had called to say he was going home though he did not live far from the job site and she would call him to have him come back. She called me back at 4p.m. and said she could not reach the plumber. My husband took the connection apart and found the line had an uneven cut. So my husband fixed the leak. Plumber was a very nice person and didn't mind visiting with him. We were obviously charged $80 an hour to visit with him though and that is a problem. Received the $650 bill and was shocked to say the least. There was no breakdown of how many hours we were billed for nor how much was parts. I called and asked to have a detailed bill sent to me just to make sure there was not a mistake somewhere. I was told they would do that. I figured it would cost $300 - $400 at the most. $650 is unbelievable. Especially when I see other companies charged less than $200 for the same type of job. Will call that company next time and pay for them to travel 30 miles. Received detailed bill, $111 for parts and 6 1/2 hours labor at $80 an hour. Justifying 6 and 1/2 hours to hook up dishwasher, install sink and faucet and a couple shut off valves....will not use this company again.

Good. Rental property and the worker called to me to ask if there was anything else while he was there. Would have liked a phone call first thing that morning to tell me appproximate time plumber would be there. But, I appreciated that the cost didn't give me a stroke...so not receiving a phone call is better than an extra $100 to pay for an 'approximate' phone call.

I had a good experience with Sharkey Plumbing and Heating. They were prompt with their service. It was also a good deal.
