"Have you noticed that they are not as reasonable as they used to be? One poster paid them $250 to have a water heater drained and flushed."
Dunno about that. But everyone who posts here does so from their own experience. Mine, with Village Plumber, over four calls, has been positive. Cases in point: I paid $80 LESS for a new gas hot water heater, installed, than the advertised "special" price for the same service and item advertised here by another vendor. I got an estimate for a special (according to my wife) kitchen sink, faucet and disposal. Estimate was free and overall price was reasonable. Work was was done the next week on the day stated with no problem. A subsequent problem with the faucet was handled promptly, parts and labor free. I can't answer for other people, but we were treated well by Village Plumber and would certainly not hesitate to call them again. |

I used Frank Gay for fairly straight forward work (replace two faucets, fix a "will not stop running toilet" and add a new shutoff for a refrigerator water line). Upon arriving, the plumber gave me a song and dance about how difficult the plumbing is in Villages homes. After the fact, I had another plumber in for another project who was quite reasonable (from Friendly Home Services in Summerfield). I believed him when he said I paid almost 3 times what I should have paid and I was mislead by the Frank Gay plumber. The worst part is that the Frank Gay plumber needed to come back to to fix all three new faucets he installed. And the toilet fix only lasted about 90 days and I now need to call another plumber; I will use Friendly again (Friendly does other work too - we used them to put in a new backsplash, install medicine cabinets and install new bedroom doors).

Amen. We had them for a quote to add a generator switch and an extra outlet in our master bath. We paid a service charge ($90?) for the quote.
The "quote" for the single outlet in the bath was over $700? We had another company come in and install the generator switch and the bathroom outlet for much less (1/4?) then the FG estimate. I complained to them since the estimate was so out of reality, I felt the estimator was tired and did not want the job, and they refunded the estimate. Funny commercials...not so funny estimates... |
