We had a rival plumbing company come out and give us an estimate for putting in a new sink strainer and replacing a kitchen faucet (we had purchased a new one already). The Rival quoted us over $800.00. I had an appointment and had to leave the house. While I was in the car I contacted Meridian Plumbing. They told me the job wouldn't exceed 300.00. I immediately called my wife and she told the rival company to stop the work. The plumber from the rival company had only accomplished turning off the main water supply and unhooking the separate hose sprayer from under the sink. He warned us that the other companies will quote low and then you will end up paying a WHOLE lot more when they come out. Then he proceeded to charge 250.00 for the time and work he had done (essentially NONE), and that was WITH a $35.00 internet coupon. Meridian plumbing showed up later that day and did the entire job for $250.00 Add the $250.00 that we paid for absolutely nothing from the rival company, and we STILL paid $300.00 less than the rivals quote for the job. We will always use Meridian plumbing for future jobs.
