I needed a spigot changed in the dead of winter. The plumbing line didn't have a shut off valve…read more Instead of the costly repair of pulling out drywall to cut line, Chuck recommended buying the part to fix spigot instead of replacing. This was a significant savings and solved the problem. It was refreshing to receive forthright and honest repair services without attempts to mark up prices or add extensive repairs. It was my first time using GsR based upon a recommendation from a friend. I now have a trusted and reliable plumber I can rely upon. Thanks Chuck!

Respectfully, and without malice, and, hopefully abiding by Yelp rules, with no disinformation or…read moremisinformation, only good old i n f o r m a t i o n and a few thoughts for the reader --- Let's suppose that you called a plumbing company for an estimate for work you needed done. An estimate is not labor, but rather an approximate or tentative judgment about what conditions a worker will encounter and, additionally for parts that may be needed...in other words, an assessment for a potential job, no labor, work or exertion at this juncture. An employee of a company (let's say plumbing) arrives, to provide an estimate, per your request. Said employee jots down some notes -- no labor involved. Said employee then proceeds to get on a stepladder to take a quick peekaboo at an attic (the said person didn't actually go IN the attic, still assessing, and no labor or work. After a few minutes, said person immediately heads out to his truck, only to return with a hefty bill of $195 for w h a t?? you might ask. When will I get the estimate? It could be a very BIG surprise for the unsuspecting customer, but let's face it, it sure seems like working at some places can be quite lucrative because they don't actually provide an estimate--just a bill for the drive to your home. A great gig if one can get away with it. Of course, the employee does not do one bit of actual work, nor is he expected to work. You merely made a call to the company requesting an estimate so you know what the job and the cost will entail if you should choose to hire them. You're out $195 with no estimate. It's a 100% win for this company. Too bad for you, silly customer. An innocent person might suspect that this is kind of a shady practice (oops, saying shady - --that wasn't nice ---sorry). To N O T notify people to expect a $195 fee at the time of the initial call for Nothing-- one might wonder who does that? They should at least notify you that they plan on doing nothing when they arrive & hand you a bill for nothing. Does that seem wrong to you? Just asking. Let's face it, businesses are free to charge as much as they can possibly grab from unsuspecting people. Right??! Yep, and most people have a tendency to expect ... oh, who knows, maybe, professionalism, integrity, credibility & trustworthiness. Hmm, wondering if this applies to, let's say possibly, any given plumbing business that might come to mind??? Any thoughts?? Respectfully P.S. You may be interested to know that professional, credible plumbers are out there and the best part is they don't charge for estimates. I know, I found several!!
