This man thinks that he's GOD's Plumbing Gift to Home Owners. Had him & his team come out to do an estimate along with quite a few others. I visited with 5, maybe 6 plumbing companies total. I should have realized how high his opinion of himself was, after our phone conversation. He asked me to text him about my plumbing needs, but didn't want me to tell him what was wrong. FOR REAL!!! I realized then he had an ego problem, but wanted an estimate. Strangest text I have ever sent.
I needed help replacing my drain lines which were old, but ONLY had a few leaks. I won't ever do that again!!! I had several plumbers come out for estimates. Powers' estimate was by far the highest priced one!!! He wanted 4-5 times more than everyone else, and actually 10 times higher than the man I wanted to hire to do the work!!! He made it very plain that HE WOULD DECIDE WHAT WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE UNDER MY HOUSE!!! He didn't want me telling him what to do, or what I needed done! He made that perfectly clear. We had a very short conversation after that. When I finally got him to quit "beating around the bush" and give me his estimate, I simply told him that his estimate was way out of my price range. I think he wanted to replace everything, and I wasn't having all the plumbing replaced!!!
His team (2 guys) came out and crawled under my house. They were super nice, and said it didn't look like get it would be all that hard to get the lines replaced. You could tell that they were the ones who were going to be doing all the work. I wish I could have just hired them, by themselves!!! I really believe that their price would have been reasonable.
THE ONLY REASON, I finally decided to hire a plumber was because it was so extremely hot underneath my house, and the person helping me was slow and kept causing problems. I should have long since been done with replacing the drain lines.
I spoke with a remodeling company some time after Mr. Powers gave me his estimate, and was told they don't use Mr. Powers any more because he began changing his prices during jobs. After hearing that I was sure glad that I hadn't hired Mr. Powers!
PLEASE DON'T HIRE THIS MAN and his ego!!! read more
