Smiley Plumbing

Unfortunately, I called Smiley because they were advertised in the church bulletin. After 2 service calls with no results and differing opinions by the 2 different technicians, I got estimates from 2 other licensed plumbers. Both plumbers estimates for the work needed were less than half of Smiley's estimate for the same work. Also, the other 2 plumbers told me what they charged for line cleaning and video of a line and their prices were 30% less than Smiley's. I had email exchanges with Smiley's owner but he sees nothing wrong with charging more than others. The fact that Smiley's is a union shop is one reason they charge more. I had the work done by another licensed plumber and am completely satisfied with their work and professionalism. Why pay Smiley's prices when you can get the same work performed by other competent, licensed professionals? BTW, 1 of Smiley's technicians encouraged me to use another plumbing service that charges less. He said Smiley's prices are higher than most.
