I really don't understand all the positive reviews. I guess if you don't compare prices and just need someone... anyone asap, then maybe you can go w/ them. However, if you don't like to get ripped off and like having a sense of peace about forking out $$, then I wouldn't recommend. These reviews make me wonder?? On to the story...\r

I called to get a shower valve replaced. They quoted me $500. I asked how much the part was and they said it was $300 for a 'good brand'. I told him I'd buy the part myself, but he told me to be sure to get it at a 'plumbing store'. The stores he told me to visit are the high-end kitchen/bathroom stores??\r

Anyways, so I called Home Depot and they said they have all the same brands. The guy at HD (who used to be a plumber) said it didn't really matter as long as I didn't get a cheap brand. So I bought the part for about $80. I called 'The Honest Plumber' back and asked how much for just the labor since I already bought the part. He told me $400! I asked him how long it would take and he said 2 hrs. My response: ""So you're charging me $200 per hour?"" I hung up, called the guy at HD back and he said it should take a plumber about 30-60 minutes as long as some unforeseen problem didn't come up. \r

Long story short, these guys didn't come out to my house... obviously. But when all we ask for is someone HONEST that does good work at a fair price... it's a non-starter for ""The Honest Plumber"".\r
