I paid $2900, and was told I still had a bill. Ridiculous.
Pro: crew was great, but not timely. Slow, dragging there feet here and there. Soaking up time I guess.
Con: Plumber apparently told the boss he did a lot more than he actually did. With the national labor rate for plumbers being $45/hour for simple jobs, the invoice was very extreme. $1 in parts -- a couple of springs. Never returned my calls. 45 minutes. Ughh! $247 dollars.
If anything Butch owes me money for having to put up with all this non-sense and unfair billing....and though a contract was demanded 3 times, none was ever produced. Conflicting invoices, as if done by a complete amateur.
"Okay, first of all, I have reached out a couple of times to resolve the outstanding issues to no avail. There were some omissions that are relevant to this review...Materials, including grout and sinks, as well as paint were supplied by the owner. We applied and installed as directed. there were issues of access that were overcome in the process, and I bear responsibility to not following up on a certain level, but the initial price point was set by the owner. On a certain level, this is by design. There is an offering of an amount of time with an hourly rate. Customers choose what they want to pay, and then assign the task. This does not always comport with reality...in fact, rarely. So I don't assign blame to the owner in this case. I have explained to her that there were costs associated that exceeded her expectations by over $450. That could be one reason for the lack of response. Who knows, but, I try to convey this as each inquiry comes about...perhaps I didn't this time. We sincerely attempt to satisfy all our customers, and particularly our Angie's List customers, but sometimes we are unable to do so. Apologies to the effect, and I stand willing, in spite of the differences we appear to have at this point."
Butch took on my project quickly and thoroughly. His workers were polite and hard working. Cleaned up after themselves. The porcelain tile looks beautiful. Butch cut down all the doors, reinstalled all the appliances that had to be moved in the kitchen, hauled away all the debris and has done everything I've asked of him promptly and professionally. From start to finish, it took less than two weeks which is all the time that I had for the project. The original quote was honored, no extra charges. I will definitely use Butch again for my many household projects.
"Thank you [Member name removed]. It was a pleasure serving you and your family, especially given the service your family has given to our country. I can speak for many in expressing that thanks, and wish there were more I could do to express my gratitude. A good job is all I've got, but happy to do it."
"Thank you, [Member Name Removed]! So nice of you to think of us after so much time has passed. But, yes, I too look back with fondness and pride at what we accomplished. It was a job with a number of challenges, and although we had a very nice plan, there still were a lot of decisions and otherwise "customizing elements" that had to be decided on, and executed as we went. You and Tom were a pleasure to work for, and with. Thank you again for such a nice compliment!"
