I strongly advise being cautious if you consider hiring Moorhead Service Company. Based on my recent experience, they use deceptive quoting practices, inflate their line items, and their representatives will blatantly lie to you to cover their tracks.
Here is a breakdown of why I decided to take my business elsewhere:
Wasted Time with "Assessments" for Set Prices: The representative insisted on an on-site assessment to take pictures and evaluate the job before sending a quote. However, when I later challenged their inflated price, they suddenly claimed that $310 is just their rigid "set price" for the project. If the price was truly fixed from the start, insisting on an on-site evaluation was a deceptive game and a complete waste of my time.
Padded and Inaccurate Quotes: My project was a simple, brand-new vent Installation requiring a hole cut into the drywall and exterior. Despite sending clear photos and videos beforehand, the written estimates they provided included removing existing dryer ducting, removing old vent covers, and attaching the vent to existing ducts. There was absolutely no existing ductwork or covers to remove on my property. When I asked for an itemized invoice breaking down parts versus labor, they completely ignored the request.
Dismissive of Competitor Quotes: I was upfront about having cheaper quotes (around $175-$190) and was trying to see if we could meet in the middle. When I provided screenshots of these competing quotes, the representative condescendingly asked if I had called any "actual big name companies" or just "contractors." Once it was clear they were significantly more expensive and couldn't justify their inflated price tag, they dug their heels in and stopped trying to work with me entirely.
Blatant Lying About Communication: The most infuriating part was when the representative texted me claiming, "I've asked you to call me so I could explain everything and you never called." This was a straight-up lie. As you can see in the call log screenshot attached to this review, we had a 5-minute phone conversation just the day before where they even merged another person into the call. Lying to a customer's face to cover up your own poor communication is unacceptable.
Overall, the lack of transparency, the blatant padding of the work estimate, the condescending attitude, and the outright lies left a terrible taste in my mouth. Save yourself the headache and go with a company that offers honest, upfront pricing and basic respect. read more
