I Googled a ‘Plumber near me’ and Pascoe’s Plumbing came up at the top. I needed the job done ASAP and was thankful to be able to get a plumber out within a few hours. Unfortunately, I fell for the sales pitch and signed off on a deal which I was led to believe was ‘major’. Turns out it was a relatively easy job. Only took a couple of hours but cost me $1180. After the fact, I did a ring around to different plumbers, and using the same equipment it turns out the job could have been done for under $400. So I called the company to complain and was told everything is a set price. You know why? They don’t do the work…they sub-contract it and obviously make a massive profit on each job.
My huge mistake was my urgency, believing in the advertisements, and not calling around for more quotes. Let it be a lesson!
