Sno-Valley Plumbing

I contacted this company because it was “local”. Bill the owner and plumber gave me an estimate of $100.00 per hour and it would take approximately 10 to 13 hours to install 3 toilets, 3 vanity sinks with faucets, a kitchen sink and faucet, and 2 shower heads. Agreed to estimate and set up time. Day before install, he called and stated he would bring a “helper” and now it would be $200 per hour. I agreed since the toilets and other items had been delivered, plus two toilets had been removed by the flooring installers. The “helper” was a novice apprentice, not a journeyman plumber. The first day he arrived around 11am as the valley was flooded and traffic was very slow across. He left at 3:30pm as he “did not want to get stuck in traffic”. He took lunch at noon. The next day he arrived around 8:30am, no helper. He completed the toilets, sink etc but with the shower heads and valves he stated they did not work. He sent me to the local hardware store in search of a ball valve. Still did not work. Then the kitchen sink was “too big” although it’s a standard size. Had to rip tile and he cut 1/4 inch of the surround wood. Here is the kicker: when we were to settle the account, he now stated it would be $225.00 per hour, I said we agreed at $200, his response “I have to pay my guy”. Bottom line, I feel ripped off. I could have refused, but giving his demeanor of I don’t care and who knows what else, I paid him $2200 for this work. I write this review so someone else will not be taken advantage off.
