Description of Work: I have a home warranty program, and the plumbing company squeezed me in initially and partially fixed the problem, but had to come back once they received approval. The problem was they would not submit the paperwork for approval. They said they submitted it, but when the home warranty company called and said they never received it, and to resubmit, they said they were too busy. As a result, another plumber came out who was wonderful.

Cost brothers has provided my family with excellent plumbing, heating and cooling services for over 30 years. Their pricing is NOT cut rate, but their service and their willingness to stand by the work they have done makes the charges worth while.
Description of Work: Replacement of old water heater. This old device was put in place 40 years ago by previous owner in a hard to reach location. The Cost representative spent 12 hours replacing the water heater with a great deal of carpentry skills needed to do the job. He was efficient & remarkably friendly throughout an arduous day.

The service man was not able to come when initially scheduled, due to an emergency. My job was not an emergency. After rescheduling, Bruce was able to unclog the tub simply with a strong plunger. He did a nice job replacing the outside spigot with a much more functional placement and on-off handle. He was pleasant and professional and finished the job in a reasonable amount of time.
Description of Work: Tub drain unclogged, outside water spigot replaced.

The estimator was punctual. The job was scheduled for the next day but instead of the repairman showing up Mr. Cost called and pushed the job to the following day. Since the work done changed completely from the estimate the tech offered a $50 reduction in price for the service (this did not include finish work on the plaster). Tech said if I wanted the plaster work completed the next day I would be charged an additional fee for the return. I did not feel that it was a fair price for the service since the different approach took much less time. Mr. Cost had quoted a labor fee for his repairmen which now made the estimate way out of line. When I contacted him he tried to brush me off. After some discussion we settled on a cost that was still higher then fair for the service rendered and the time to complete the job.
Description of Work: The job involved a sink drain line repair. The cost estimate to complete the job included removal of an air conditioning duct, repair the drain line and replace the ductwork. Once the tech and assistant arrived it was determined that the ductwork would not be removed and the repair took a completely different approach. Instead, holes were cut through the plastered ceiling on either side of the ductwork to reach the leaking pipe. The work was completed in much less time then estimated and the plaster repair was a rough finish. The workers did do a nice job of keeping the mess under control and a thorough job cleaning up when done.

Lowest price of a number of estimates. Price not increased even though work took longer than they had expected. Agreed to reduce cost some when I permitted eliminating requirement to replace all of existing pipes from rain drains. Nice job.
