            My contractor contacted them and was told they charge $150 an hour. After that I talked to them set up an appointment, also they said they charge $150 an hour plus 15 minute for travel time.The technician came and replaced the sink and the toilet in the bathroom Also, installed the sink drain in the kitchen and after he did the work, he said that the stove wont go all the way back to the wall because the gas pipe was on the way and needs to be replaced. I said I am not going to do so thinking in mind ( he is telling this after he finished the work $$)So he called the office and was told not to Touch the gas pipe and just rap up the work.He handed me a bill of $665 which Was more than the hours he spent in my apartment added to travel time, but I gave him a check. Then the office called me and said that the technician forgot to charge me for the permit which is another $135. I Paid.The inspector came with **** and said we have to redo the sink pipe and install a new gas pipe to the stove. I talk to **** and said can you please give me a break and a rough verbal estimate so I plan where to get the money from, he said around $700 I said why this is your technician mistake, you dont tell me that I need to replace some thing after you install it He said he will see what he can do.The technician came back, this time he installed a new gas pipe to the stove, a new drain pipe for the kitchen sink and installed a spout in the bathroom tub.He was there for 2 1/2 hours, he handed me a bill of $683. From 9am until 11:15am, how is that making since?He said he had to stop by the store to pick up parts for me!! I paid it too. The new stove arrived, needs to be hooked up, he was there for 40 minutes, gave me a bill of $154 and another permit fee off $135.I didnt pay.I received a bill $285.Called the office saying I need a copy of all permits and the store receipt.Tow days later I received a fixed bill to the permit. They way over charged me

            I have used Garabedian to replace a hot water heater, as well as a very large job to replace old water supply lines and corroded cast iron drain pipes and drain stack. I have always had good experiences with the pricing and response time.
