In my book, they are as worthless as the other plumbers I have called, none of them really give a D---- if you wait for them and they never show up. Pipes Dream and Torreys did the exact same thing, 3 plumbers in one week, all having good reviews and still have not seen one of them.
We could not agree more ! Same experiences, just awful, VERY expensive, and the worst part, not even FIXED ! Had all of the very same companies you mentioned. The bill to fix a dripping faucet on the kitchen sink, and a dripping faucet in one bath was astronomical (no other "work" done). Unfortunately the local Ace does not carry the cartridge like fittings for our Delta faucets or it would be a quick and very inexpensive fix. The very next day the "fixed" faucets slowly began to drip again. The company who "fixed" it the last time never returned multiple calls... as to what is going on, we have no idea, but a "real" plumber ... do they even exist in this area ?
