* *** ******* **** *** ** **** **** ** **** ****** *** **** * * **** ****** ******* ** * **** *** * ***** *** ** **** ********** ** **.All I needed was flappers to be replaced in two older toilets that were taking longer to fill when flushed. We also had a kitchen spray faucet that when shut off wouldn't stop spraying. Because it was under warranty, **** had sent us a new one, but we needed it installed. We were given three options. #1 was to replace all three toilets in the home (even though we only needed two fixed). The quote for three installed toilets was over $4,000. To attach the brand new spray faucet that we already had, the quote was over $600. #2 option for the toilets was to replace a new valve, flapper and supply hose at a cost of $862. #3 option was to pay the service fee of $49.95 and do nothing. I should have paid for the service and said "goodbye". Why didn't I? Because the plumber who worked for this company was also a friend of the family and I had a hard time saying no as he kept pushing for the higher options to be done, as well as sign up for a monthly membership plan. This company does not give an invoice breaking down parts and labor. Even with a $250 discount offered, it would be a $700 bill for just replacing a new flapper and valve line, so you are looking at $275+ an hour, considering parts to replace these for both toilets would be less than $150.00. With my bill of $959, it means labor was approximately $400+ an hour. The repairs took a half hour.45 minutes tops and our bill was $959.00 for replacing the flappers and fill valve. Yes, really. While I thought about whether or not to accept the discount, I contacted three other plumbing companies and asked if they could give me a ballpark quote for the exact same service we had received including service fee. I heard back from two. One gave me a ballpark of $400-450. The other quoted me $562.50 (breaking down parts and labour. I recommend staying away from this company.
