Herb Weems Plumbing

Called three plumbers for an estimate to install two new faucets, shutoffs, and drain line to a replacement vanity top in my master bath. Two of the estimates were around $650-$800. These prices are very high for residential, non-union, non- commercial work. One of the plumbers, Weems never told me they could show up; until the day another plumber was supposed to. I received a call from Weems office that Herb can stop by and look at the work that I had called about previously (second lowest quote). I cancelled the other plumber in time. Herb showed up and immediately started taking apart the cabinet and looking in the crawlspace. I went back to work (home office). After 30 minutes or so I went to find Herb; gone, no notice. I called his office and they said he would be back the next morning. Next day; no show. I called again and asked what to expect and they stated next day at 12. Next day they showed up unannounced at 10:00 am. He and a helper went in and out of the house for about 4-5 hours- sitting in their vehicles and making calls. End of the day, Herb tells me he will write up the bill. $970 invoice. I told him that's not what you quoted. He said we get $100/hour, everybody else is more expensive. Regardless of my discussion about a non-commercial , non-union rate residential work, he would not budge. Stay away from this guy. He has made an entire 40+ year career of telling customers one price and starting the work immediately so that others cannot take over. In the end, charges outrageous rates for basic plumbing work. Get three quotes in writing first, then check the reviews. My mistake.
