High Mark Plumbing

We called High Mark Plumbing to come out and replace a small thermal expansion valve. The guy arrived, spent 30 minutes poking around and quoted $780! I was at work so my wife calls me and says that this guy is talking down to her like she's "just a dumb woman" and wants $800 to fix a little leak. I tell her to let him know we're going to get a second opinion. The guy from High Mark acts all surprised and put out, then charges her $180 for his time!!

I called a friend of mine to drop by and take a look. He's a 20 year plumbing foreman. He says its a $50 part with a max of 1 hour work (probably 30 mins). Very disappointing to say the least.

Do not invite High Mark into your home unless you're looking to get hosed!!!
