If the price seems a bit high but the work is done right , it is not a

In the situation with the OP though, it might have been.


Then there is this (which I posted maybe a year ago):

While fiddling with a leaky toilet my wife told me a dozen times to
"call a plumber!" Since I really did not want to fool with it anyway I
took her advice and thought, "well there goes $500."

Nope, he quoted me $2000! I'm serious!

Fortunately the service call just to come out was just $64 and he did a
thorough inspection of the pipes.


I went to Home Depot, spent $85 for a new toilet which works just fine.

It took me an hour to put it in.

Did he have his finger on the trigger while he pointed that toilet at
your head, and reached for your wallet?
