On 7/18/12, ""Darrell"" came to fix a leak in toilet cut-off valve. He inspected the leak, went back out to his truck and came back later with a work order to replace emergency cutoff sweat angle stop with limited access with a ""standard book rate"" of $732.10. He then proceeded to come up with various discounts that brought the price down to $409.39. (Still obscene!) We told him no thanks, and paid the $78.00 service charge.\r
We called another plumber who came the next day. He tightened the compression nut on the cutoff valve, and since it was such an easy job (about 10 minutes top) asked if there was anything else I might need done. Told him one toilet was not flushing well, he checked and chiseled out a lot of calcium build-up that had accumulated. Total charge $125.00! Needless to say, we would never recommend A-1!!!!
