Description of Work: Called for a quote on installing some new faucets. They were very friendly, but the price seemed a tad high. I inquired if there was a discount for multiple installations on the same trip, and they intimated that this might be up to the installer. But they lost my business after explaining that the "trip charge" applies, regardless if work is done. That is unacceptable to me: a "trip charge" should certainly not be assessed if work is done and paid for. So I found someone else who does NOT charge extra for their travel if work is performed.

Response from The Pampering Plumber
I did some research on your case and I don't have any records of a price given for faucet installations. All of our pricing is done on site to avoid any "surprises". All of our work is priced by the job, and the way our flat rate manual is structured, there is a savings for doing the work in one trip as opposed to piecing into multiple trips. We do have a $59 charge for residences in St. Petersburg and South because we are based in Odessa, and it is quite a distance from St. Petersburg. Again, we explain all of this up front so as not to "surprise" the customer.

From what I could find in our records, it looks like this work was done almost two years ago in Aug 2013. Had we been contacted within our 90 day warranty period, we would have gladly made a trip at no charge to check it out. We left you a message the week following the service call to make sure everything was satisfactory but didn't receive a call saying otherwise. If you'd like to schedule a service call for us to repair the issue you're having, feel free to call us at 727-232-8400. Sincerely, Briana Suojanen

Response from The Pampering Plumber
When repairing the leak in the copper piping, another pin hole leak presented itself inches away. Unfortunately, this is the nature of the game when working with older, copper piping. Since this repair was done over the weekend, we provided the customer with a temporary fix and advised the customer we would need to return to resolve the issue permanently. We scheduled to return the following Tuesday, and the homeowner declined the repair and opted to keep the temporary repair. To date, we have not received a call from the homeowner to make the permanent repair.

Description of Work: This is the second time I have used Pampering Plumber. Both times, they arrive at the agreed upon time, performed the plumbing repair quickly, NEATLY, and permanent. Price in both cases was very fair. I just love this outfit, and I will not call anyone other then Pampering Plumber.

Description of Work: I called for service to replace my hot water heater, as it had flooded my garage overnight. When I asked how much it would be to replace a hot water heater on the phone I was told they could not give me a quote because each job is different. I was then told the repair tech would be to my house between 12-3. The tech did not show up until 4:45. I was told that it would cost just under $800 to replace the water heater. This seemed high seeing as a 40 gal. tank only cost about $250 and even with labor and extra parts I can not work out how it would cost that much. When I asked for an itemized breakdown I was told they do not give itemized breakdowns because water heater replacements were a set price and always the same. I was further aggravated by fact that this set price could not be relayed over the phone that morning. I then asked for a written estimate, which the tech told me he could not do either. I told them I would not need their services if I could not be provided an itemization of costs as I will not highly overpay for a service that I know should cost much less. I was then charged $65 for the tech to come out for something that I should have been told over the phone that morning. | |The only upside it that the tech was polite and handled my discontent with the business practices of the company well. | |I would not recommend this company and will not use them in the future. I highly recommend price checking the parts prior to using this company because I was able to get a brand new heater installed via Home Depot for $350.

Response from The Pampering Plumber
My response to this customer will come in segments . First off, when we schedule a window of time to get to the home , in this case between 12-3 we do our best to meet that window . Obviously this will depend on many things , traffic and or accidents , unforeseen issues on previous job etc. We usually keep the customer informed if we are running late and it looks as though we failed to do so . My sincere apologies there. As for the quote on the phone , the folks who answer the phone are not equipped with pricing and make that very clear BEFORE we send someone out to the job . With that being said , we also make it very clear that we have a $59 dispatch fee ( not the $65 that the client refers to in this review ). The customer was made aware of this fee before we dispatched anyone to the job We use a flat rate manual to provide the cost of our service . This manual is used nationwide and is a standard practice of reputable plumbing - service contractors , which is why we do not itemize our quote . We work and price everything by the job just as many other quality , reputable companies do. The reference to the fact that we did not leave a quote is completely incorrect . We left a written quote with the customer . While I understand you can go to the big box stores and purchase a water heater at a less expensive cost , I feel it is not a fair comparison . As a reputable company , we incur many costs to send a qualified , trained specialist with a rolling warehouse to your home . All of our technicians go through countless hours of training , and a thorough background check all to insure your safety . I have said this many times in the last 25 years of business in the Tampa Bay area. We do not claim to be the cheapest company , we are competitive and fair . Thank You for your feedback . I welcome all comments and offer my personal line to discuss further 813-597-0309 Respectfully , Colleen Suojanen, President
