MASTER PLUMBING
About us
Owner-operated. Work on house hold appliances as well, have resources to repair. Ask about rates, some projects vary in costs, not any two jobs are exactly the same. Materials and labor generally, larger installs is a flat rate. Used to give a up front hourly rate and it seems most folks (that call) are only price shopping. The problem with that is, cheaper does not mean better. Also "You get what you pay for".

"YES THIS COULD BE TRUE THAT THE MATERIALS HAVE GONE POOR, HOWEVER I DID NOT SELECT THEM, THE CUSTOMER DID. THE WARRANTY WOULD BE WITH THE MANUFACTURE OR PLACE OF PURCHASE. AS FAR AS WORKMANSHIP, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY EMAIL POSTINGS. I ACTUALLY WENT TO WORK FOR A COMPANY FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THEN THE ECONOMY WENT SOUTH AN MY HOURS WERE DRASTICALLY CUT IN HALF. WOULD LOVE TO BE AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT RIGHT IN THIS CLIENT'S EYES. IF THE CLIENT WILL REVIEW UPDATED INFORMATION > DOUGR14042YAHOO.COM OR 817 705 8061. HARD TO SAY UNLESS I GET ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK. DOUG ROBERTSON"
"First of all I will address all the commentary as far as "LANDSCAPE" I ask this, "Does any where at all in this add state that I do 'LANDSCAPE"?" Answer? NO. Why? Because I don't advertise landscaping and if I did I would deserve this grade. If i did do landscaping I would be forced to charge ALOT more. Now as to the HVAC, It is CODE that HVAC Refrigerant lines, (Refrigerant is the correct terminology, not "Freon") SHOULD NEVER BE BURIED UNDER GROUND. They should always be above ground and insulated, who ever put this house together in the start or whoever serviced it most likely DID NOT pull a permit. However I did. Second this customer wanted the "inexpensive way out" meaning he did not want to pay extra for landscaping or for a accurate sewer location with a line locator! Get this; He wanted us to do the WHOLE job for the original price no matter what unforeseen obstacle came up, including the landscape! I'm glad I clearly stated in contract that would not be the case. Bottom line I bet he doesn't have to call a Drain Cleaning company for a very long time. If I could give this customer advise and a grade, Advise: on major projects do not try to cut corners, it tells how you live your life. Grade: let everyone else make their own choice. My grade is already posted."
"I don't think the customer considered that i was trying to save him time by asking the brand of toilet. I certainly was not trying to offend him. $175.00 an hour/ at that time, economy has now changed and now my rates are much lower. As to trends in the economy, gas , insurance, advertising like on this web site, communication devices, equipment, labor, taxes, accounting. understand/ I don't do this for a "Hobby", I'm a professional. It would be like going to a Dentist asking for a root canal and he tells you $1,000, you ask if he could do it cheaper an he tells you 'Yes", so you agree and he starts drilling WITHOUT NOVOCAINE! Same principal."
"THANKS FOR THE REPORT, REALLY THIS WAS A CASE WHERE THE OTHER PLUMBERS COME OUT, EACH ONE OF THEM TOLD THEM THAT THEY NEEDED A FULL REPIPE. NOT SO...PARTIAL TRUTH...THEY NEVER TOOK TIME TO FULLY INVESTIGATE THE NEEDS OF THE CLIENT AND SITUATION. REALITY WAS THAT THEY NEEDED BETTER INSULATION AND REPLACE THE GALVANIZED PIPING IN THE INNER WALL. I MUST COMMEND THE CLIENT AS WELL FOR BEING UNDERSTANDING AND ALLOWING ME TO RESCHEDULE AFTER HAVING A INJURY TO MY RIGHT ELBOW. BIG THANKS!!!! *****"
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR WARM COMPLIMENT."
"OK HERE'S A FACT, GAS AND PETROLEUM PRICES HAVE INCREASED EVERYTHING. I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE IN MY HOURLY RATE IF I SHOULD REMAIN IN BUSINESS. SERIOUSLY, MATERIALS THAT ARE PLASTICS OR MANUFACTURED OR TRANSPORTED ALL HAVE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. I HAVE TO COMPENSATE FOR THAT COSTS. IT MAKES FINANCIAL SENSE."
"THIS IS THE 3RD REPORT ON PRICES. GAS NOW IS AT $3.00 A GALLON. IT IS GOING TO GO HIGHER. THIS AFFECTS EVERYTHING AS FAR AS MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING MATERIALS, TRANSPORTING MATERIALS, NOT TO MENTION THE COSTS INVOLVED IN BEING A "OWNER AND OPERATOR" OF A SMALL BUSINESS. I LOVE MY CUSTOMERS AND IF I COULD GIVE A LOWER PRICE I HONESTLY WOULD! IF YOU THE CUSTOMERS WANT ME TO CHARGE LESS ON SERVICE BY THE HOUR YOU WILL NEED TO RALLY YOUR CONGRESS REPS AND GET THE COSTS OF GAS AND PRODUCTION COSTS TO DECREASE. OTHERWISE I HAVE TO STAY IN BUSINESS AND MY COST WILL NOT CHANGE AND THE COSTS WILL CONTINUE TO GO UP AS THE MARKET DOES. SORRY THATS JUST THE FACTS OF LIFE."
