Mr. Rooter Plumbing Of Tallahassee

I called this company to check on a problem with a rental property when I was out of town. The receptionist/​scheduler (Sheila) was very pleasant and sent a guy during normal business hours within a reasonable time frame. They called me with an estimate which was outrageously high in relation to the issue. $ 400+ for a leak from a rubber seal in the sink. I politely declined to have them fix it. There was high pressure from the guy who did the estimate to get it fixed with him. They said if I didn’t do it they weren’t sure when they would be able to come back out and that it could be done now by him if I would agree to the high fee. They told me how the rates are set in a book and that they had a great price to fix the problem. They told me how they do this kind of job all the time and this was the only way to fix it. They also offered to use sub par materials to lower the cost. They tried very hard to get me to agree to the «sale» right then but after several minutes of insisting on getting a second opinion they finally agreed to leave my house. I called another company which also came out without asking for a service fee. They fixed the problem for $ 30 and couldn’t understand how anyone could quote/​charge so much to fix this basic problem. I write this review to say that if price is no concern and you have money to blow or don’t care paying significantly over what others charge then this company may be for you. Thankfully I was insistent on getting a second opinion and saved almost $ 400. My problem is fixed and I’m happy I used another company.
