  I hired D&F plumbing to check the shower pipes for leaks. The shower had sheet rock that was crumbling and there was a concern of leaking pipes. The plumber **** cut a hole to inspect the pipes. My shower needed a new liner or tiling. **** said he has a friend that could do the needed repairs. ***** ****s friend was hired to tile the shower. I paid him half and he came over to do the work. ***** did not do the job properly and did not finish the work after he was paid the balance. I had trouble communicating with ***** about finishing the work. He would make excuses or say he would come back to finish but never showed up. I asked D&F to have **** call me so I could try and find out what the problem was. I tried many times but **** did not contact me. Employees are not supposed to make recommendations. I called D&F but again got no help from them either. **** denies knowing ***** and ever recommending his friend *****. D&F should reimburse what I paid ***** and discipline their employee ****. ***** has a business in ********* staining and painting. The tiling was done poorly by *****. I found out later ***** is not a licensed or bonded contractor either. Kevins business is ***************************. Unfortunately I paid ***** in cash and had verbal agreements. Live and learn.

  Thank you  for your information - our team has looked diligently into the situation with multiple conversations with management and there is no way to understand who the tile setter was or why he was reached. We have tried to understand however our information we have does not have any reference to a tile person hired.  We only hire licensed contractors and do not have a tile setter we refer.  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

  Hello - I would like to add to the customer communication we will be constantly working on better customer relations and will continue training to resolve any future situations. Plumbing has a lot of variables and communication is key.  We always encourage communication with our office if there is reason we have fallen short and can improve. Its important that we have an opportunity to walk through the project with our customers in further detail to clarify details. We train our team often and work hard to provide quick responsive, licensed, knowledgeable techs for our customers.

  I spoke with your office before he left and was told that his bid is final. You wanted over $1515 dollars to repair something that literally costed me $20 and 20 minutes. I was only trying to help out a local business as I didnt have the time. I can only conclude that he didnt want to do the work so just gave me an outrageous bid and your office stood behind him.

  Thank you for the information on your experience with our team member.  We work hard to provide education onsite to provide clear understand the scope of work involved in going into crawl spaces to repair piping.  Missing the **** on a service call for our customer is not acceptable. We keep high standards and continue training and communication so we can move into ************************** the next few years.. 

   Coordinating a next day call for our customers takes multiple teams and support for quick efficient knowledgeable response. We continue to provide transparency  at the time of booking.  D&F will continue to train and  work towards best practice and customer clarity.  We commit to strive for excellence every day and we will work at better communication.

  There was no under the house or crawl space for this issue. It was to replace a shut off valve that was on the line to the toilet. He quoted $1500.00 to do a task that shouldnt have cost more then $100 and then charged me $119 just to show up and write that ridiculous quote. I want my money back as that was a total waste of time.

  Dear valued customer,

  We are very transparent at our company. All of our agents are scripted and calls booked get the same message about $119 assessment fee. Every customer pays a work assessment, and it is clearly explained at the time of booking. The crawl space was involved and that was a difficult crawl space to deal with. This is what bumped the price. Our technicians do not treat customers int the way that was described it is not our brand. Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide a billing adjustment because a truck with a licensed professional to take care of the problem was sent to the customers doorstep.

  Sincerely,

  D&F Plumbing Co.

  This is a lie, the crawl space is almost 3 feet high. You send out management and Ill show you.

  that wasnt the issue though as the toilet shutoff valve is all that failed and I fixed it for $15. It isnt in the crawl space as it is next to the toilet, he just didnt want to do the work so wrote me a $1500 dollar estimate for a $15 part that was in our bathroom next to the toilet. The crawl space wasnt even in the equation. You send a manager out and Ill show you. Your technician is lieing about what happened and I can prove it.

  Attached is the invoice with the signature. The signature Initials say NOS, my Initials are RRC. Furthermore that is not my handwriting. I have also included the notice from the collections agency. Date of Transaction 6/23/22 Services performed: None Amount of Transaction: $0.00 Sent to collections trying to collect $134 I scheduled an appointment for a plumber to meet me at a potential commercial site that I was interested in renting. I made it clear that the appointment was for a specific time because I only had access to the site for the time that the commercial broker was present. I double checked with D&F that they were ok with a specific time. ***** agreed to the appointment time again. When the time came for the appointment, ***** failed to show up. After 30 minutes waiting for the plumber, the commercial broker had to leave the site and lock up the space. I called D&F to let them know I needed to cancel the appointment because it was locked and I could no longer access the space. The ***** receptionist told me that I could not cancel because the plumber his way. I explained the situation but the receptionist stated she would not help me and I needed to wait for the plumber. I waited for 10 more minutes and then left. One hour after our scheduled appointment, the plumber called to state he arrived at the site. I explained to him that I left and the reason for my departure. Since that time, ***** has been trying to collect $134 as a cancellation fee. I've had numerous discussions with them trying to resolve the matter. They referred the matter to a collections agency. I asked for the agency for the ***** invoice. I finally received it. To my great surprise, it was an invoice with a signature from a person who is not me, agreeing to pay a cancellation fee.

  Thank you for your feedback. There is a process we follow on every phone call that allows the caller needing help to hear the full message and agree on the call to how we set up our calls.  We did pay our journeyman to be at your site for the appointment however due to the miscommunication we are retraining and have worked with you to return a credit.  We do hope we can earn your business in the future and we would love to show you the value we provide when servicing urgnet plumbing needs. Thank you again for your feedback.

  96 years, D&F Plumbing has been in business. We are disappointed that they have the absolute worst ************************ On Feb 6th, 2023, we had D&F give us a quote for a main water line that busted underground. While they were looking into that, they found that our sewer line was also in need of repair. D&F quoted $14,763.84 to replace the water line & in addition quoted $54,275 to replace the sewer line, totaling $69,038.84. We were rushed to approve both projects so that they could get the permits to work on both at the same time & was informed it would be a 2-day project. We made a payment of $7,763.84 for replacement of the water line. D&F sent us an invoice with the remaining balance of $8,277, which appears they added another $1,277 to the balance. When we inquired about it, they laughed, & said that their manager accidentally put the quote of another estimate onto ours. This is concerning that a manager makes this type of error. Today, Mar 22nd, over a month later, the project is still incomplete. We have made over 20 calls to the Mgr ***** and the excuse is that he is out of the office. There are days we coordinate *********** dont show up. Then on days we are not expecting them, they show up. We've had to turn off water during business hours & move patient appointments to accommodate the water shut off. While digging the trench, they cut our electric wires in two places underground that connects to our sign by the street. They sent an Electrician to confirm & arrange time to fix the issue on March 23rd. D&F showed up on March 20th. Today's photos attached shows our current state. Their rude collections Rep called again demanding payment. She talked over me & said she spoke to the owner of D&F & was told they have completed service. We are asking for a 33% reduction of the remaining balance ($36,275) for the inconvenience, loss of patients, rescheduling our patients, horrible communication. & to close the trenches and fix the issue they created.

  We wanted to respond with a walkthrough of how construction and projects flow forward.  The Northwest proves for some challenging weather to complete asphalt as our agreement for finish work, and there is only success  for this phase of the job when the weather is 100 percent dry.  This posed some scheduling challenges.  The team was sent out multiple times to do work and sent away by your staff due to your customers being present.   These 2 common occurrences detoured  an efficient and accurate timeline to complete the project and hold to expectations on both sides.  

  As you see the last phase of the job is complete this week and our office staff is always able to make arrangements and are happy to keep clear communication. If changes occur in your schedule it is something we would appreciate future communication on and we are always reachable. 

  We currently are re doing your asphalt job as the rain posed some quality issues and we only stand behind work we are proud of and represent the name of D & F and the quality we provide for the last 96 years.

  I am rejecting this response because: we came to a verbal agreement with a manager from D&F to recut the trench, close it appropriately, including the pothole, put tar on the cracks, and pressure wash, in addition to removing 10% off our remaining balance. We have requested 3 times for them to send us an email with the above agreement with the new balance. We have yet to receive an email. The work is near finished and they are requesting payment. Per their worker on site, they will have to complete the pressure washing next week. Many of what was mentioned in their response was untrue. Several times, we've called to speak to the manager and did not get a return call for days and we would have to call back. The weather can not be blamed for all the challenges because they came to work in the rain and we have not sent them away. 

  Sincerely,

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. The last task of pressure washing has been completed. Thanks to ***, the one person who is able to get the job done right. The checks with remaining balance totaling $32,647.50 was also given to him to satisfy our agreement for finishing the project and removing 10% off our remaining balance. Almost 3 months in and the project is finally completed. Thank you BBB, for being the middle person and assisting us in getting this resolved.

  Having had a bad experience with another plumbing company before ($500 extra to talk to a third party tech support), i made sure to be as a specific as possible for this job. I told D&F that it was a check valve replacement on a unit in the attic. I followed up by email with a photo and description of the unit (model number, serial number and part number). D&F was going to add that info into their job description system for the plumber to review. Fee was $119 for inspection and quote and if you hire them the same day then the $119 was part of the cost of repair. I agreed. Plumber (*****) shows up and was unaware of what the job was (1st red flag). We walked up and getting ready to go into the attic, ***** said that he needed $500 to walk into the attic per the policy. I was flabbergasted. $500 to walk into an attic. He refused to go up unless i paid another $500. On top of that, any work to be performed was over and above the $500 so the $500 was just to walk up into the attic and nothing more. So now my inspection and quote was in essence $619. He left as i refused to pay that. Called D&F back and a very rude person said that i had an agreement and would not refund the $119. My agreement was for $119 for an inspection and quote. Not $619 for inspection and quote. Granted the appointment confirmation text did say ************ ***** finds "creative solutions for customer", not that you will like the creative solution.

  After making a responsive trip out to the customers site to resolve a problem that resolved itself, the customer requested a second visit for a different issue we had not assessed. Our pricing is up front and clear when it comes to scope of work. Due to liability and the process we follow to keep *********** safe and proper assessment there are sometimes charges for investigation however that is assessed on site by our professionals.  We do waive a $119.00 *********** Assessment  when work is booked. This is information provided at each time of booking.  We work hard and pride our company in standing behind our licensed plumber skillset and ongoing knowledge and continued training. We pride ourselves in transparency and would never rely on someone booking an appointment to understand the scope of work onsite.  We leave the expertise for when our plumbers arrive and provide an assessment for the situation,

  We would request that due to the outcome this review would kindly be taken down.

  I am rejecting this response because it still does not address my point that the issue to be addressed was a known and the location of the work was a known and was entered into your system and supposed to be forwarded/accessed by the plumber. ******* arrived knowing neither the issue nor location. I was completely taken off-guard for a $500 charge to take 10 steps into an attic over and above any other charges. I will not rehash what I stated before.

  Search D & F Plumbing a if .I Tvurs agu They run a bait and switch trick by stating the $119 inspection fee will be waived if you move forward with the technicians quote. They refuse to give any estimate for even a best case or worst case scenario for the job because they know they charge ****x the standard market cost and they want you in the hook for the 119. I provided a thorough explanation with a video for the job and asked multiple times for an estimate of what the job would cost. When the technician arrives you learn just how outrageous the gouging will be. To install a dishwasher that required no special work it'd be more than $800.The technician was friendly but knew this shady business practice happens all the time. He did nothing to inspect and started by saying it'd be $800 if I wanted to move forward knowing that no reasonable person would pay that and he wouldn't have to do anything. There's no reason that 800+ couldn't have been shared with me as an estimate prior to arriving and prior to agreeing to the inspection fee. The billing department doesn't listen to any reasonable request to waive the inspection fee and instead tells you they recorded you accepting the inspection fee. They claim they charge a fair market price and have been in business since ****. While this might not be illegal (I'll be researching this later) as a business practice, it's clearly deceitful, dishonest, and the most unethical practice I've seen from any business. I tried resolving this with them directly before going to a review like this but they're clearly prepared for customers they've ripped off with this trick in the past and refused to consider any resolution other than stealing $119 from me. Truly shameful.

  Hi **** - Thank you for providing feedback to us as it helps provide clarity.  *********** was able to quickly assess the set up of the dishwasher and because we follow safety and stick to ****** plumbing code he was able to verify the best solution and a good plan to install your dishwasher.  We pride our journeyman plumbers in their knowledge and making sure our team keeps to a high  standard of plumbing safety and following what is best in the industry.  We would move forward in the same manner with your project to set your dishwasher up properly installed following plumbing safety and code standards.

  ********** is not willing to install the dishwasher because it is not a normal install.   The set up currently is not up to code and needed to be replumbed in order to satisfy code.  A proper installation of a dishwasher requires piping fed from an individual shut of valve located in the kitchen cabinet independently feeding the appliance only separate of all other fixtures via a 3/8 supply line. ********** provides standard installation.
  

  The estimate showed an additional discount on top of our $119.00 being removed off of your bill if you would have gone forward with the work.  With sending licensed journeyman plumbers out and at the ready all over ******** and *************************.   The Journeymen Plumbers are ready to get to work in a well stocked truck and ready to get your issue resolved to the highest standard.  I hope walking through the piping reroute to keep the dishwasher install to code was helpful.  If you have further questions we welcome you to call in and speak with our service department.

  Thursday, September 8. I scheduled an appointment for the removal of the toilet before a new floor was installed. The plumber would then reinstall the toilet. When the plumber came, I asked if he could also help with the appliances in the kitchen, the refrigerator and washer needed to be disconnected as well. The plumber quoted me an extra amount and had me sign the quote. Immediately after, I told the plumber that the extra work in the kitchen was too expensive and that I would have a family member help me. He understood and agreed. I paid the entire bill to the second plumber that came later to reinstall the toilet. However, now they are charging me for the work that they quoted me, but that was never done. I have explained who the plumber was and to confirm with him, but they continue to press me for the extra cost. Please help.

  I ************************* call D&F Plumbing on 6/16 due to a leak that could not be pin pointed. The appointment was made at 8:00am. Without letting us know changed it to 9:30 while we were opening. The D&F employee could not do the work wasting our time and left. Then came back the fallowing day. After owning the business for 23 years and have done all the plumbing along with Apollo Drain am extremely familiar where all water lines run and what has been repaired. I talked to a very bubbly girl who said we have all the coolest tools and they would find the leak no problem. The only reason we did not call Apollo first was there equipment was down. D&F walked around for a few minutes just listing for a leak, left without any answer then send us a bill for $599 along with an invoice to re plum the for $2500 to plumb the establishment above ground and along face of walls. We refused the charge on are credit card as Apollo drain came walked in the door and found the leak in 15 minutes and quoted the repair for $4000. Which we went with. D&F automatically turned us into a collection agency after accomplishing zero work, pretty much lying to us about there equipment they were bring which was simply a metal detector and the D&F employee did not even want to be there and sending us a $22500 unnecessary. The entire situation with D&F was unbelievable and extremely unprofessional including a huge waste of our time.

  Wanted to take the time to respond and walk through Leak Detection scheduled job.  We work very hard to accurately find the area the leak is in however there is a small chance on a very low volume of jobs that we are not able to find the area of the leak.  

  We have to rely on sound frequencies to pick up the water and other noise in the area can prevent or block the frequency that the equipment is picking up.  We arrived efficiently and did the service but these services are not guaranteed.  There could be 10 percent or less that *** not have success.

  The cost of doing the service is what you agreed to pay for.  Plumbing is hidden in the ground, walls, ceilings  and there are multiple variables that come into play.  We hope this helps.

  My faucet outside broke and water was coming out. I called D & F Plumbing to come out and fix the problem.******************* came out and said to fix it, it would be $1000 to replace the facet. I then told him about the flooding in my back yard and the problems I was having in the winter of ankle deep water. He spent a long time in his truck discussing the problem with his boss and they came up with a plan. They would combine fixing the facet with the backyard. They would take care of the facet that day and come back and spend five days putting in a sump pump and get the water out of the back yard to the cost of $11, 875. I said that I had someone coming next week to give me a bid but I couldn't leave the leaking facet. He said I had to sign today to get the deal otherwise leave the water leaking until I decide about the back yard. He wrote down replace one frost free hose faucet. done. excavate and remove a small tree. did not do it was already done by the time they got there. excavate down about 4 feet and install a perforated sump basin with sump pump, filter fabric and drainage rock, trench to rain gutter and hook to existing rain drain maybe 10- 15 ft I would get an electrician to wire the system up and this was at my expense then cover up. This was far more work then putting in the pump fo $1000. It turned out one day they dug hole and trench after they didn't show up for two days with illness. and one morning to cover it up. But sump pump is exposed and sticking up in the middle of my yard now not useable. I had to add 20 bags of dirt just to somewhat hide it but the problem is. there is still all this flooding on the south side which they said they would fix for more money. I paid half to start and owe them the other half but don't want to pay them for a day and 1/2 of digging and dropping pump in which only cost $600 at my cost. I still had standing water this spring on the south side.We talked about how they could solve it but they want more money.

  We want to respond to your project by taking the time again to walk you through the depth and scope if work entailed in your job.  There was excessive removal of dirt and prepping time involved.  This involved trucks running back and forth to unload. 

   

  There was alot of rock install for proper drainage and we added a clean  out for your rain drains to make things efficient for you in the future.

  Our crew got to work once you approved the solution.

  We had a hiccup on scheduling with our team member being sick with covid.  We do not want to expose anyone so there was a delay.

  The top exposure was to allow access if there were any necessary access needed in the future.

  This was a man hole cover that was exposed. This would be for future access.

  Thank you for reaching out we hope this additional walkthrough  and we hope this further clarification helps.
