I needed my new stove converted to LP. The stove came with a conversion kit that contained 8 LP nozzles for the conversion. I did my research, watched "do it yourself" videos, and spoke to a trusted appliance co. before hiring PP & H, and so I knew that the conversion would not take more than an hour. Also, my husband and I are building contractors, so we are very handy, but this is something I wanted to hire a professional to do. I looked up the average price should be under 300.00 and that's what I expected to pay, when I hired Peekskill Plumbing. When the tech came, he got on the phone with the office, and said it would be 1,200. I told them I think they misunderstood what the job entailed. Then they said 900. I said no thanks.
Haven't run into a dishonest contractor in a long time. Ruined my morning.
I have a company co., (that I know and have worked with before), coming tomorrow to do the job for 235.00. read more
