    Fixing a dropped undermount sink

    Our undermount bathroom sink was detaching from the countertop and was only resting on the plumbing pipe. The plumbers looked at the situation and Raphie, the company owner gave us quotes for a few options. My husband suggested another option that we went with. The plumbers diligently removed the old dried-out adhesive that longer supported the sink. Then, they remounted the sink and included metal strapping attached to the insides of the cabinet, holding the sink securely in place. They also replaced frozen shut-off valves and did a few other plumbing fixes. We are very happy with their work and their attention to detail.

    Upsell and pressure tactics. Beware.

    I don't usually write reviews but feel a responsibility to warn people of the predatory pricing tactics this company employs. I have read a few other reviews and see that I am not the only victim of their pricing process. I have employed many contactors over the years and this is the first time I have been a victim of this. I contacted this company a couple of months ago to fix some leaks in my pipes and my kitchen faucet. Three people showed up. One of whom was the estimator. The 2 technicians patiently. waited while the estimator went through a lengthy assessment of the pipe situation and described a filter system that I would benefit from in addition to fixing the pipes. I repeatedly told him that I was not in a position to afford a filter system but he insisted on explaining it to me and writing up a quote for it, another plan which involved paying them an annual fee for an upgraded level of service and finally, the work I had invited them in my home to fix. It was a working day for me and I had to get onto a Zoom meeting. When he shared the cost of the 3 estimates, as predicted, I couldn't afford the two pricier options. I signed off on the cheapest option which was approx $1700. It was probably double what I should have paid. Although they did a good job and their technicians were polite, I would never trust this company again. When I sent them payment, I told them so. They were very defensive. Please be cautious. They over estimate the cost of the work and, if you feel under pressure like I did, you sign off. The overestimate protects and works for them, not for you though. Please be aware.

    Buyer Beware! Unclogging kitchen sink

    I was in a rush to find a plumbing service to unclog my kitchen sink and happened upon "Preferred Plumbing" through a google search. Without doing my due diligence and reading reviews I agreed to a service call for $129+hst. I had a similar experience to others who have written negative reviews. Raphie (owner) and his crew showed up promptly and surveyed the situation. He gave me 4 options ranging from $679 -$2300. I was shocked and told him so. He talked about the cost of doing business, post covid and the price of supplies. (my job required no materials) I could have walked away and lost the service call fee but instead I chose the cheapest option, snaking the kitchen drain, which I called for in the first place. It was stressed to me that this was the band-aid solution and would only have a 30 day warranty. The job of snaking the sink took almost less time than it took for Raphie to write up my 4 options. Pretty expensive hourly rate. I have since done some investigation and feel the fair price for the service would have been $300-$500. Raphie and staff were all very pleasant but why not.... they are smiling all the way to the bank!

    Be Wary

    We paid $145 just to get quote and decided that the 3 quotes given were outrageously high. We wanted 3 taps with pop up drains and shutoffs installed that we had already bought. The price for installation would have worked out to be approximately $500 for each bathroom sink with easy access through large empty cabinets. Huge upsell pressure to do additional work that was not required. Ended up calling in a person referred to by a friend who charged a fraction of the quote plus did it in under an hour.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are so sorry that you were not satisfied with our services. We would like to address some of your comments. Firstly, when you called our office our staff clearly articulated how we operate including the service fee for your area which was $129 + HST. We then proceeded to share with you precisely how the call would go so you would know to expect. Our highly trained technicians come out with fully stocked trucks prepared to take care of the work on the spot for you. Once you had agreed to all of the above, we booked the service call for you. We are an extremely professionally home service plumbing company and our prices are a direct reflection of what it costs us to operate. We are reliable, dependable and professional. We don't know who you ended up calling, what size their business is, nor how they run their business. Our pricing may not work for you but we were informative, professional, transparent and upfront. Do you think we deserved a 1 star rating because our pricing didn't work for you?

    Service Call

    Hi Rafi, Today's visit by your staff was exceptional. Firstly, it was a courtesy visit at no charge! That is an amazing service which builds customer loyalty. But secondly, the staff you sent were really wonderful. I already knew Dominic from previous encounters - he is a great representative of your brand. And with him was Jonah (Yonah) - another great representative. Dominic and Jonah are fantastic ambassadors that build customer relations. They bring courtesy (- Dominic called me before arrival to tell me when he was 24 minutes from my home!), trade skills and attention to detail. I am writing to say thanks. You may share this testimonial with others.
