I needed a new gas line installed at my house (gas meter was being relocated due to a leak and I wanted a new line between the meter and the furnace since the location of the leak was unclear)Called around and several places were too busy (end of Jan I needed heat ASAP, so I couldn't wait a couple weeks for the work to get done), some places didn't want to deal with the hassle of doing a permit with the city and a couple places said they'd come out, check out the amount of work and then give me an estimate
I spoke with *** *** around 9:am on a FridayHe went out to our house and called me with an estimate by pmI agreed to have him do the work late that afternoon (just before pm) and he worked on the permit over the weekend and had the permit taken care of with the city by am on MondayHis guys were at the house starting the work around 10:amThey finished before pm*** had already set up the city inspection (to sign off on the permitted work) for the next morning (set that appointment up when he went in for the permit knowing it would be ready to inspect the following day)And, not surprisingly, the inspection went fine
I can't say anything about the cost (high, low, average) because I couldn't get anyone else to show up to give me an estimate and I needed to get the work doneBut, *** was true to his word in every aspectFrom doing the estimate, to having the final bill match the estimated cost, and doing the permitting and dealing with the cityIt was the smoothest part of the whole meter relocation fun we didAnd, of course, the work got done correctlyThere was one little hiccup/misunderstanding and we took care of it but *** had also offered to fix it (old pipe wasn't removed and we just capped it off instead of having him come back to deal with it)
Overall, happy with the work and, most of all, happy to find a plumber in Tucson able to do the work and follon what they said they'd do
As a note, we've never had plumbing work doneWe only knew about Classic Plumbing from a business card that had been stuck to our fridge for the last decadeWe think he might have done the pre-purchase home inspection when we bought the house but we're not sure!
