John Moore price structure: $69 trip charge + $340 overhead recovery + cost of the actual work done.
About the tech, Mr. John Cantu: Argumentative!
An obnoxious person who was the main reason I did not hire John Moore for the job. When I asked for an explanation about the 3-times the fair market price quoted, Mr. Cantu said that anybody with one truck can do the job but John Moore has newer trucks and higher overhead therefore the cost to hire John Moore was.. well, More! During the conversation Mr. Cantu also said, sir, you don t know how a business is run . I must mention that I own three business but Mr. Cantu just guessed that I was unaware of the business basics.
About the company, John Moore: Price structure is extremely high. Their prices start with a trip cost plus a minimum basic service cost. In my case $69.00 trip charge + minimum starting point of the plumbing quote was $340 then the rest is billed above that. In other words, if we take Mr. Cantu s remarks into account, $69 trip charge + $340 overhead recovery + cost of the actual work done.
Buyer Beware!
I ended up hiring ELL-DEE plumbing, a local family owned operation. Good, honest, courteous, professional guys and reasonably priced quality work.
