Response from Robert Bair Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning
We are sorry for the miscommunication with Carmen. However, we were concerned for you and your family when it was discovered that the bathroom ceiling drywall was blackened. We are not certified to re-mediate these types of issues. We only recommended to have the blackened drywall evaluated and cleaned up. We never stated that you needed gut your entire bathroom. We are sorry to lose you as a customer.

Description of Work: I did not use them, but they were very forthright and honest in saying their method of repair was too costly for what needed to be done. He said the other method was a better choice as my immediate needs.

Description of Work: Warranty service on 2 year old AC that wasn't working. Don charged up coolant, then traced all over to find the leak. He returned 4 days later and spent about 4 hours replacing the part and checking everything else, including fixing some leaks in the ductwork. Don is a Trane expert. Previous encounters with other personnel were iffy - this guy knows his stuff.

Response from Robert Bair Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning
THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE. WE APPRECIATE TO OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE YOU. UNFORTUNATELY, THE "GOING RATE" FOR MANY HOME SERVICES TENDS TO BE SET BY THE LEAST PROFESSIONAL OPERATORS. THE MOST FRUSTRATING DISPUTES FROM A CONTRACTOR'S PERSPECTIVE ARE WHEN A HOMEOWNER CALLS BACK AFTER A JOB HAS BEEN COMPLETED TO COMPLAIN THAT HE OR SHE GOT RIPPED OFF! USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN S/HE TALKS TO ANOTHER CONTRACTOR WHO CLAIMS THAT THE JOB SHOULD HAVE COST MUCH LESS. THINK HOW UNFAIR IT IS FOR SOMEONE WHO HASN'T SEEN THE PROBLEM TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH IT SHOULD COST TO FIX IT. FREQUENTLY THE CRITIC CHIDES THE HOMEOWNER FOR NOT HAVING CALLED HIM TO FIX THE JOB. "I WOULD HAVE SAVED YOU LOTS OF MONEY" GOES THE SIREN SONG. MAYBE THE HOMEOWNER TRIED TO CALL HIM BUT COULD GET ONLY AN ANSWERING MACHINE. THEN HE HAS THE NERVE TO CRITICIZE SOMEONE WILLING & ABLE TO TACKLE AN EMERGENCY REPAIR ON THE SPOT. SOME CONTRACTORS OPERATE CHEAPER THAN OTHERS BY CUTTING CORNERS. THEY PAY LOW WAGES TO MARGINAL WORKERS, USE INFERIOR TOOLS & EQUIPMENT, & PERHAPS SKIP PAYING FOR LICENSES & ADEQUATE INSURANCE. WE STRIVE TO DELIVER THE HIGHEST QUALITY SERVICE & IN DOING SO WE DO NOT CUT CORNERS ON OUR TRAINING, STAFF, OUR EQUIPMENT, OUR INSURANCE & YOUR FAMILIES SAFETY. CONSEQUENTLY WE ARE NOT THE LEAST EXPENSIVE PLUMBER YOU MAY CALL. WHAT WE ARE IS THE MOST PROFESSIONAL, WITH A QUICK RESPONSE TIME & A TRACK RECORD OF INTEGRITY & HONESTY WITH THE WRITTEN GUARANTEES TO BACK IT UP.
