Review of Parker and Sons

Normally I wouldn't think it fair to review a company I didn't end up using, but I'm disgusted by how much time and water damage we went through trying to give Parker & Sons our business. We had two different estimates in the same week: the first quoted us over $6000 to install a water softener that we already owned and had ready to plumb. Bit of a joke price and a waste of our time, but we lost little else taking our business elsewhere.

The second estimate I find completely unacceptable. I couldn't be around for it, so I told my wife to have them check out our leaky kitchen sink and just have them fix it if it wasn't going to cost too much. I also wanted them to take a look at our bathroom sink as I noticed the drain pipe was wet and I was concerned there might be a leak. They quoted her over $1200 to fix the kitchen sink (if we were willing to provide the materials) and over $2000 otherwise. It ended up just eeding a supply line tightened.

The bathroom sink he mentioned needed a part that he "might have in his truck" but apparently it wasn't pressing enough to fix, or even include in the estimate. Well, today we found out that water is absolutely pouring into our wall every time we use that sink. (pic attached - does this look like it might be a problem?)

I don't think there's any world where two different plumbers should visit a house looking to a do business, not get anything done, and leave behind two leaking sinks. Thankfully we found other plumbers in the valley who agree. And if anyone thinks Parker & Sons is so great they're worth the above quoted prices, you might just deserve whatever leaky bridge they're selling ya. Fool me twice, I can't afford problems this big not being found and fixed.
