    Status:
    Answered
    Paid $230.00 on 10/26/2022 for about an hour work. Plumber fixed fixtures in toilet tank and put in another on /off water shut off valve. When done with toilet tank there was a short grinding noise he said was due to lack of part. It lasted about 2 seconds. Since then it has lasted 15 to 20 seconds which is very annoying. Called their number but no one has got back to me. My wife and I are elderly and we fill we were taken advantaged of. We want it fixed correctly with no additional costs.

    Outraged, I discovered that my 90 year old Aunt needed a new taller toilet installed in her home. My Aunt is on a fixed income and is obviously in a lower income neighborhood, she was quoted by Atherton Plumbing over a thousand dollars for a new Gerber toilet plus the install price, and she did accept this quote, I realize that she accepted the price, but she is again 90 and did not realize that there were definitely cheaper ways to go, and after talking with the Atherton manager other avenues were not discussed with her. Atherton did respond to my email and offered a refund of some sort, BUT that's not the point!!!. In my opinion they took advantage of her, and it should NEVER have come to this. Buyer beware

    Dear Mr. G***~

    We investigated your claim against us. You are acting as a third party commenting on a service and pricing that 1) you did not experience first-hand 2) you did not employ us and 3) you did not sign off on the estimate. Our Business Operations Manager did call you and you did tell him that your aunt was very happy with the service, installation, rebuild and price point. Your Aunt was our customer. Our Business Operations Manager kindly attempted to provide a refund, which we normally don’t do since the work had sign-off and it was refused.  We understand that there are many choices for home services and we do provide an estimate upfront and do not begin any work without sign off from the customer. We often tell them to get a second opinion. That could have been executed in this case if you were concerned about your aunt and her income.

    We are happy that your aunt is happy with our customer service and work.
