  • Well based on the previous 5 star reviews I hired Kevin for a leaky tub faucet. I even waited 3 days til he was available. I wanted a rough estimate and Kevin said $75 plus parts as long as everything went smooth. He needed to change out the cartridge which he had with him but the faucet pieces were corroded and also needed to be replaced. He said he had it all with him for another customer but that it would be $80.00. I thought that sounded high so he called to get the price for the cartridge and said it was going to be $41 and if he needed to go to Home Depot (about 3 miles away) it would be another $25.00 plus the faucet pieces. I've never had a plumber do this before so I said I would go get it and put the faucet on myself. He quickly showed me how. It took about 15 min. total for him to do his job. The faucet at HD was $12 and cartridge was $38. so a total of $52 not $80 as he had said. When I got back I couldn't get the faucet on so then drove to Osborn Plumbing Supply who showed me how to put it on correctly. The cartridge there is $37.00. When I went back to put the faucet on realized Kevin put the cartridge in backward and hot and cold was reversed. I texted Kevin all of this and how unhappy I was that this took me so much time and that he wanted to charge an additional $25 to get a part. He said he had to charge for his time and that he is less than the big plumbing companies. This is not so. A large plumbing company charges retail for parts and has them on their truck and if not doesn't charge extra to go get it. Osborn Plumbing Supply said they charge $95 per hour labor. Kevin did offer to come back to reverse the cartridge and make it right but now I don't care and will just live with it. Me personally hire these independent guys to save money. I disagree that he is cheaper from my experience and would rather go with a reputable company for the same money and not have to do some of the work myself. The only thing I agree with on the other reviews is yes Kevin is very personable, but this is really not important. It is the work and price for it that matters. I am writing this review so others are not deceived by all the 5 star reviews and don't wait 3 days for a plumber to come out and not do 5 star work. Oh and he charges 3% more for credit cards.
