One of my customers sent me a text this morning and said they got a quote to replace the float valve and flapper valve drain in their toilets for almost 300 for each toilet. By early 2013 standards, this is absolute robbery. Even if it’s a water-saving toilet.
Every week we see a double standard of charges from dishonest contractors charging outrageous amounts to vulnerable people.
Always get a second quote or ask a friend or person you trust about what prices should really run.
One of the reasons we get a lot of jobs in million+ dollar homes is because we charge the same price to fix a toilet in an apartment or a house that’s worth 3 million dollars.
A toilet is a toilet…(unless it’s gold-plated and has a heated seat…)
