Completely overpaid for 3 hours of work and minimal materials (since I provided the faucets).
The job was easier than routine since I had the contractors leave all the pipes exposed so no need for demo to access. Also there was no need for them to do any finishing work to hide the plumbing.
In my opinion 300+ an hour for parts and labour was excessive.
Harris Plumbing: please don't try to contact me as you already had your chance to make things right.
In response to Harris plumbing...... you can try and explain it however you like.
The fact is that when broken down to an hourly rate I paid 300 dollars and very little of that cost materials. If it was in fact a complex job then people should expect even worse value since you base your rates from your book of prices which you were inflexible on.... ie not adjust for me providing the bulk of materials and the job being easier than what would be considered a standard job.
Don't fall for their insincere attempt to rectify the situation. We spoke on the phone and they stood by their rates. This poor review was written after they had a chance to address the problem.
Bottom line is i paid over 300 an hour for fixtures to be installed. I provided the fixture plus open walls. All they needed to do was connect things. This was not a case of them having to extend pipes to accommodate the renovations.

Hello Peter. Sorry you are not happy with your experience - may I assume you are happy with our professional work? You don't give any details about what pipes were exposed or how much adjusting we had to do. In our experience (over 45 years of it in fact) we have learned that renovator/contractors never leave pipes exactly where they are needed for finishing - they can't. There are always adjustments that must be made.
But without knowing who you are or what we did for you, you are putting us at an unfair disadvantage. A last name or an invoice # would sure help. Would welcome discussion...
