I contacted them to do a simple job, swap out a kitchen sink faucet. I already had a new faucet that I wanted installed and had a similar job done by another plumber last year and he charged $100.
The guy came and said I had to sign off on the estimate. Then he told me the job would cost $600!! However, If I paid $99 for an extended care policy the installation cost would only be $510!!!
I told him the price was absurd. Then he billed me $49 as a "travel charge" for coming to give the estimate.
Despite my age and sore back I was so angry I dug my basin wrench out of my tool box, crawled under the sink and did the work myself, it took barely one hour.
Lowry Services is a scam, they take advantage of the elderly and ignorant and even if you reject the estimate they still make a profit on the so-called "travel charge."
