I had a leaky faucet, and Bratschi charge to inspect it was $198, which they did not inform me at the time of my call They later reduced their care to $ They are mile minute drive from my house I got the same service from a second plumber for $ Mr*** reply was "we don't base our service on the price of others." Bratschi charge for repair was $ Second plumber $I suggest this company give visit costs at the time they are called for service
This review is in regards to my experience with Bratschi Plumbing of Winnetka and inspection of a RPZ valve (required for sprinkler systems) After Bratschi inspected our RPZ valve, it was determined that it was not working properly and an estimate of $was given for the repair and inspection As this seemed high, I researched repair kits for the make/model RPZ valve we had and found them online for $ As there was no guarantee that a repair would still pass the test, I researched a new RPZ valve and found/bought the exact model for $delivered and ready to install (vs$to repair old model) I wrote Bratschi and inquired about the difference between repairing and replacing, and after a week wait received a letter that informed me that Illinois law requires this inspection and their prices were their prices, and their price included the cost of submitting the inspection report Suffice it to say we found another plumber to inspect the valve for $(including reporting it to the city), so we had a new valve for $less than a repaired valve In spite of not fixing the valve we still received a bill for $from Bratschi for the minute evaluation
I have no issues with businesses charging what they want to charge for services/materials, but I want to forewarn people that businesses are willing to take advantage of unknowing customers with this city required service on a fairly simple device
