Good Plumbers are hard to find…

                     I am happy to say that I now have a new dishwasher.

The hard part was not finding the dishwasher, but having it installed.

After dealing with a not-so-honest plumbing firm that quoted me an astronomically ($455) high rate to install my dishwasher, I took matters into my own hands…  (I nicely told this plumber to leave my home, after all, BananaBlueberry concentrates on the good stuff).

I called the firm that had come out to look at my old dishwasher and asked them who THEY recommended.

They gave me the names of 2 firms and 1 is located about a mile from my house, so I called them-
Leahy Plumbing and Heating is a great, honest, plumbing company.  John Leahy, the owner, always tries to answer the phone.  He did when I called.  He’s been around for years and gave me a very reasonable price.

Leahy Plumbing will come to your home and give you a FREE ESTIMATE.  If you don’t like it, tell them to leave, that’s it.  No service call charge, done.

The Moral of the Story:

Ask other businesses their recommendations.  I went with the first company from word-of-mouth.

And pass on GOOD experiences with service companies :)

  2. we had a similarly ridiculous experience when having our new dishwasher installed – instead of trying charge us a crazy price, they REFUSED to install it!! they cited “insurance reasons.” so imagine me standing at my front door, holding a newborn baby with one arm, staring at my brand new dishwasher sitting in my FRONT WALKWAY. i finally convinced them to bring it INSIDE the house, but hubby had to install it himself. Sheesh.
