Thumbs down Be Careful

Just a heads up on who you pick. The Plumber we usually use who is great and reasonable was not available so we called another. The experience was not good. The person showed up, spent about 10 minutes fixing the minor problem and another 20 minutes trying to sell us things including looking outside and then giving us a bill for almost $100. We had another problem which was not urgent and decided to wait for our regular plumber when he returns. This was a great "wake up call" to be more alert as to what can happen if you are not careful and what is possible in charges without an estimate. The $100 was well worth it to warn us how some will unreasonably charge customers. What I will never understand is why some do that as of course we will never us that contractor again and will tell our friends of the experience It is mortgaging their future for a few dollars today. Oh well you live and learn.
