Avoid this place if you're in the metro east area of Illinois. A ripoff. Needed a faucet installed that I purchased at the store. Called Tiger Plumbing and asked for a price. She said they charge by the job, not by the hour and it will cost $50 to have a plumber come out and give you a price, which she said she couldn't do. Sounded a bit fishy but how much could they charge to put a faucet on. I was naive. He came out and showed me the price in his book and it was over $200 to replace a faucet. Since he was there and I didn't want to pay $50 and send him away, I let him do it. Remember, I supplied the faucet. The only thing he supplied were the two supply lines that cost a couple bucks in Home Depot etc. I had everything ready and it took him 20 minutes to do the job. That is an amazingly high hourly rate. If you do want to use them for something like this, be sure and get a price from them before letting them come out and if they won't give you a price, just find another plumber. I will never go back there and I will never try Alpine Air Heating and Cooling because it is owned by the same gentleman and if you screw people in one business, I'm sure you have no problem screwing them in your other business. The work was done properly but the cost was ridiculous. i can see why they don't charge by the hour and why they wouldn't give me a price over the phone.
