Water Filtration & Purification review in CALGARY

07/14/2011

I would not recommend this company to anyone because they charged over priced compared to other places. Terrible customer service and not reliable. (He pricing for parts and labour was not clearly listed whereasn the guy was just pulling out random numbers from his head and charged us on the bill. So for the future, I think I will never go this company ever again.

Unplugged Kitchen Sink Drain

Drain Services review in Calgary

11/16/2009

Quoted $150+GST per job over the phone while other plumbers won't give me a quote nor returning my calls. Chinese Cantonese, speaks OK English. In&Out in 30 minutes, no mess (didn't open the trap), straight to the point. Note: My friend tried helping me twice opened up the trap (which was quite clean; the clog is somewhere down in the pipe leading to the main drain) and inserted drain snake (1st time: manual, 2nd time: the snake attached to a cordless drill for a more powerful drill), but to no avail and the drain was clogged even more... Also note, this guy (Tony) is not a super-friendly person, but I like his style, straight forward and no BS. If there's problem within 1 week after service, he'd come back and rework for FREE. Total cost: $150+GST = $157.50

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?: If you can speak Chinese, sometimes engaging a Chinese contractor is cheaper but yet work is decent. This is my 2nd experience hiring a Chinese contractor. First time was 5 years ago, I had custom roller blinds for 3 windows + 1 big window + 1 door for <$500 (installation and GST included), while at that time the quote from The Bay with 50% off was $750 for the cheapest, lousy & ugly materials, and from Home Depot it'd cost me over $1000 due to the branded Hunter Douglas and installation was an additional $150. Back to the plumbing issue, I also like the per-job quote instead of the open-ended quote with hourly rate. Eg. Call Canadian Plumbing's quote was $95/hour and minimum 2 hours charge, and on top if need to use special machine (eg. Drain Machine) it's another $50 charge. Pete the Plumber quoted $59 to show up on my door, $49 per 1/2 hour, but told me usually it's 1 1/2 to 2 hours of job.
