I said everything above.
Description of Work: Sadly, Philip George passed away earlier 2011 so he is no longer available. I do not know how to locate his associate Butch whom I would call if I knew how. Philip was a good, honest, reliable plumber who owned his own business. We used him for many, many years. His business since April or May 2011 has been taken over by a (Corporate ?) firm Hub plumbing & Mechanical who have moved into Philip's old office. The phone is answered by Staphanie, a very cheerful, delightful and accomodating voice. I don't know anything about Hub Plumbing & Mechanical yet except, when Googled, the company name pops up all all over MA, also in downtown NY and SF, CA.

Description of Work: Called 5 plumbers for estimates and left messages. He was the first to call back (20 min.) Although it quickly was apparent he couldn't do the job, he spent 10 min with me on the phone answering general questions. I felt like I would have liked working with him.

They are a good firm to have in the rolodex in an emergency and to contact on routine plumbing work. In the three times that we have had an experience with them, we were satisfied. However, before they begin any work they make a pitch for you to sign a service contract. The first time it was sort of okay but it got old. They seem to be more focused, initially, on this then on the work. Also when I asked for an estimate for replacing our old furnace, they gave me exactly what I had asked for, rather than offer an alternative or suggest other possible solutions. We finally went with Daniel Cadotte because he made several suggestions that we had not thought about. We immediately felt comfortable with him.
Description of Work: They did several things. They came in an emergency during a wedding reception when the caterers caused the sink to drop out down from the counter, flooding the kitchen. And we had them in to do several repairs when we moved into a new house.

JOHN, AND HIS ASSISTANT, WERE POLITE, AND ON TIME. HOWEVER I FEEL COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF BY HUB. WE HAD RUST IN OUR WATER HEATER. JOHN SAID HE COULD DO A POWER FLUSH FOR OVER $800 OR REPLACE THE HEATER FOR $1900. HE STATED HE WAS 95% SURE THE FLUSHING WOULD WORK. BOTH QUOTES SEEMED EXTREMELY HIGH, BUT WE WERE UNDER TIME PRESSURE AND AGREED TO THE FLUSHING. THEY SPENT 2 1/2 HOURS ON THE JOB. AT THE TIME THE RESULTS LOOKED GREAT. HE SAID THEY COULD NOT WARRANTY THE WORK UNLESS WE INSTALLED A WHOLE-HOUSE FILTER. WITHIN 24 HOURS THE WATER QUALITY WAS WORSE THAN EVER. IT TOOK 3 DAYS TO GET A RETURN VISIT, AND THE PLUMBERS (DIFFERENT EMPLOYEES) WHO CAME SAID THEIR BEST OFFER WAS TO TAKE $400 OFF THE PRICE OF INSTALLATION. ANOTHER PLUMBER QUOTED ME UNDER $1000 TO REPLACE THE HEATER. I FEEL LIKE I LITERALLY THREW $800 DOWN THE DRAIN.
Description of Work: COMPLETE FLUSHING OF GAS HOT WATER HEATER.

Response from Hub Plumbing & Mechanical
WE TRIED TO INFORM THE MEMBER THAT THE WATER HEATER WAS FUNCTIONAL BUT VERY MUCH ON ITS WAY OUT. WE INFORMED HER THAT SHE COULD DO A MAJOR FLUSHING OF THE SYSTEM, TO SEE IF IT COULD LAST A BIT LONGER, BUT OF COURSE WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WARRANTY THE WORK BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE UNIT. SHE OPTED FOR THE CHEAPER OPTION, AND IT DID NOT WORK. WE DID OFFER TO TAKE $400 OFF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TANK AS A GESTURE OF GOOD WILL, BUT SHE DECLINED. AS TO THE PRICE OF THE OTHER PLUMBER, WE ARE MORE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OUR WARRRANTY IS ALL-INCLUSIVE I.E., IF ANYTHING AT ALL HAPPENS TO THE TANK OR INSTALLATION WITHIN THE 10 YEAR TIME PERIOD, WE HAUL IT OUT AND PUT A NEW ONE IN AT NO CHARGE WHATSOEVER. NO ONE ELSE DOES THIS EXCEPT FOR HUB PLUMBING & MECHANICAL INC. WE TRIED TO GUIDE THE MEMBER IN HER DECISION REGARDING THE TANK, BUT IN THE END, SHE OPTED FOR THE CHEAPEST OPTION.

HE CAME WITHIN THE TIME HE SAID HE WOULD, AND IT WAS 10:30 PM. HE WAS POLITE BUT AFTER FIXING THE FURNACE HE STILL WANTED TO REPLACE SOME PART WHICH WOULD HAVE COST ME ADDITION $800. THESE PARTS WERE STILL IN GOOD SHAPE. I JUST REALLY FEEL THAT HE MIGHT HAVE REPLACED OTHER PARTS THAT WERE STILL GOOD JUST TO CHARGE ME BECAUSE IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY AND THE COLDEST NIGHT SO FAR. THEY WILL REPLACE WORKING PARTS SO THEY CAN CHARGE YOU. NEVER AGAIN WILL I CALL THEM. TAKE CARE BECAUSE THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF. BUYER BEWARE!!!!
Description of Work: IT WAS AN EMERGENCY; I HAD TWO TENANT'S FURNACES NOT COMING ON FOR HEAT. AS SOON AS HE WALKED IN HE STATED THAT ONE OF THE WORKING FURNACES WOULD ALSO NEED WORK BECAUSE IT WAS OLD; IT WAS STILL WORKING. I SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON THEN.

Response from Hub Plumbing & Mechanical
CONTRARY TO WHAT THE CUSTOMER STATES, THE TECHNICIAN THAT RESPONDED TO THIS CALL ONLY BROUGHT TO ATTENTION THE NEED FOR SERVICE TO AN ANCIENT FURNACE THAT HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN SERVICED. NO HARD SELL, JUST HELPFUL INFO. THE PARTS THAT WE REPLACED WERE NOT IN "GOOD SHAPE", THAT'S WHY WE REPLACED THEM. PRIOR TO EVER TAKING MONEY FROM A CUSTOMER, WE PROVIDE A TOTAL PRICE, UP FRONT, SO THE CUSTOMER KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THEY'LL BE PAYING. THE PRICE OF THIS JOB HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COLD OF THE NIGHT, OR THE TIME. WE HAVE AN OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION AND REPOIR WITH INSPECTIONAL SERVICES IN EVERY CITY. HE MARKED US WITH AN F FOR PROFESSIONALISM, BUT OUR TECHNICIAN SHOWED UP ON TIME, UNIFORMED AND READY TO EXECUTE THE JOB ON AN EXTREMELY COLD NIGHT WITH NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL. I THINK THAT THIS REVIEW OF OUR SERVICES IS UNFAIR.

THEY WOULD NOT OFFER AN HOURLY RATE OVER THE PHONE. THEY ESTIMATED ONE HOUR OF WORK AND $500 FOR THE JOB, MATERIALS NOT INCLUDED. OUTRAGEOUS QUOTE, AND THEN CHARGED ME FOR A SERVICE CALL WHEN I DID NOT ACCEPT THE QUOTE. ENOUGH SAID.

Response from Hub Plumbing & Mechanical
THIS REVIEW IS INCORRECT. WE DO NOT OFFER AN HOURLY RATE BECAUSE WE DO NOT OPERATE BY THE HOUR, BUT BY THE JOB. THE QUOTE WAS NOT FOR ONE HOUR OF WORK, BUT FOR SEVERAL, AND IT ABSOLUTELY DID INCLUDE MATERIALS. WHEN THE MEMBER DECLINED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT THE PRICE QUOTED BY THE TECHNICIAN, SHE WAS INDEED LIABLE FOR THE $39.95 DISPATCH FEE QUOTED TO HER OVER THE PHONE DURING THE CALL-TAKING PROCEDURE. THE PRICE FOR THE WORK WAS GENERATED BY OUR UP-FRONT PRICING MANUAL WHICH IS BASED ON INDUSTRY AVERAGES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. WE SERVICE OVER 10,000 HOMES ANNUALLY AND OPERATE THE SAME WAY, EVERY TIME.
