This is a "real" review. I had a simple small leak in a polyurethane pipe. A plumber comes out and mentions that I should have kept my home warranty. Then he asks to come into my home and there was no reason to come into my home. We had taken photos of the problem that was in the attic and it was "simple". He then come out of the attic and passes me by mumbling about having to give me a written estimate anyhow. I waited patiently and the estimate was for $315.00.
The Plumber then tells me that its not worth it for a "large" company like his to come out for jobs like mine. He says you need to call a "small" company that will charge per hour.
My take is that I explained this problem when I called into Red Hat. I told Red Hat that I would not pay 200.00 for a repair. This large company knew the problem yet they gave me the run around and also a very poor excuse for an outrageous repair cost of over $300.
I tell the Plumber who looked slightly ashamed of trying to take advantage of me "good bye".
By the way if you do decide to get them to come out make sure you wave the $29.00 charge to come out.
My Solution to my problem: My husband goes online finds the industry standard for a repair. He goes to Home Depot and buys a Shark product for under $10.00. Fixes the problem in 10 minutes.
He has also done these types of repairs and they hold just fine. No problems.
I called the manager and he tells me I'm not fair. That's typical for these types of businesses.
