Mathew was very professional. Unfortunately the way they charge is very opaque. It’s a reasonable fee to diagnose, but then they hit you with an estimate that is 2-3x higher than what a regular plumber would charge. I got quoted $400.00 to replace a wax toilet seal which is a 20minute job, maybe 45 minutes if you really take your time and $5.00 in materials.
They do tell you upfront that the fee for diagnosing is $50.00 and then the plumber will quote on the job and not hourly. That’s all fine but what they don’t tell you is that the price they quote will work out to be around $400.00/hour.
They prey on customers who 1. Don’t know what things cost, 2. Customers who now have to hose between finding another company and just saying ok. Rock and a hard place.
In my humble opinion, they should let customers know up front that their per job quote will be roughly at a rate of $300-400.00 per hour.
I chose not to go ahead with the $400.00 quote to change the wax ring on my toilet and took the time to find another company that was upfront of the costs.
In their favor, they did get someone out within an hour to quote.
Won’t be calling Pirority back knowing how they charge.
