IN TRYING TO CALCULATE WHETHER I THOUGHT PRICING WAS FAIR (BECAUSE IT''S FIXED BID WITH NO BREAKOUT) I ASKED ABOUT MANPOWER. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE AN ALL DAY TWO MAN JOB. ON THE DAY OF THE SERVICE, THE PLUMBER SHOWED UP AT ABOUT 11:45 AM AFTER SAYING HE WOULD BE THERE AT 8:30. I HAD TO CALL TWICE. HE EXPLAINED THAT HE THOUGHT THE DAY THURSDAY WAS A WEDNESDAY. HE SHOWED UP ALONE AND COMPLETED THE JOB IN ABOUT 4 HOURS TIME. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT WHAT APPEARED TO BE AN OVERCHARGE VERSUS MY EXPECTATIONS HE SAID ''HEY, YOU AGREED TO IT.'' THIS IS AFTER THE PLUMBER COULDN''T DO THE MATH ON THE TOTAL JOB TO SUBTRACT MY $250.00 DEPOSIT. IN ADDITION, ON THE VIDEO SNAKE FOR MY SEWER DRAIN, IT CLEARLY DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I ASKED HIM WHAT HE THOUGHT, HE REMAINED AMBIVALENT.

I FEEL THE AMOUNT OF WORK TO BE DONE, THE NATURE AND LENGTH OF THE REPAIR WAS MISREPRESENTED DURING THE QUOTE. HAD I BEEN TOLD THE REPAIR WAS MINOR AND WOULD TAKE LESS THAN AN HOUR I WOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THEIR FLAT-RATE QUOTE. STRONGLY FEEL I WAS OVERCHARGED BY AT LEAST $200 BASED ON THE MISREPRESENTATION OF THE NATURE OF THE JOB.
Description of Work: REQUESTED A PLASTIC FLANGE UNDER TOILET BE REPAIRED. EMPLOYEE DESCRIBED WORK AS ONE REQUIRING MAJOR LABOR AND WORK ABOVE AND BELOW THE FLOOR. GAVE A FLAT RATE QUOTE OF 536.25. WORK WAS COMPLETED IN LESS THAN ONE HOUR AND ALL WORK WAS DONE ON THE FIRST FLOOR, NONE BELOW. WORK WAS SATISFACTORY BUT I FEEL NATURE OF JOB AND PRICE WAS MISREPRESENTED.

COMPANY SUPPLIED A PRICE QUOTE BEFORE STARTING WORK. ONE WAS $2,167 FOR BASE BY EXTERIOR WALL. SECOND WAS 6,387.49 TO REPLACE DRAIN TO STREET(30 FEET). HOWEVER, WHEN THEY RAN INTO ADDITION PROBLEMS WITHIN 4 FEET OF BASE THEY INTENDED TO CHARGE $6,387.49. AFTER SOME MAJOR DISCUSSION THEY REDUCED TO $3,387.49.

THE GUY CAME OUT AND THOUGHT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE TOILET IN THE BATHROOM NEXT DOOR. HE CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY. HE KEPT CALLING MAN AFTER MAN TO COME AND HELP HIM. I PROBABLY HAD AT LEAST SIX DIFFERENT GUYS HERE. THEY PUT A SNAKE DOWN MY TOILET, SNAGGED IT ON MY SEWER EJECTOR PUMP AND BROKE THE CORD. THEY SAID I HAD A BROKEN PIPE (I DIDN''T). THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE SEWER EJECTOR PUMP SAYING THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR HOME. (WATCH WHAT YOU SIGN) THE PUMP COST ME $750.00 THROUGH A DIFFERENT PLUMBER. ACME DID END UP REFUNDING MY $250. THEY ALSO RUINED MY BATHROOM CARPET WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM.
