        BEWARE of "Bait and Switch" tactics from Fred Glinke Plumbing.  I called Fred Glinke Plumbing based on some recommendations that I saw on Next Door.  I called them to get a price on removal and installation of a 75 gallon water heater that I will supply.  The office person told me that they had a SET PRICE for installation of customer supplied water heaters.  That price included all the copper fittings and gas connectors included for a 75 gallon water tank install. (it's in my WRITTEN price estimate).  The price quoted was $859 dollars with a $35 senior discount.  I set up an appointment.  When their technician came out, he lamented almost immediately about how that could not be the right price.  He said the $824 was just a "Starting" price, and it could go higher.  Yeah......"higher" I showed him the written agreement, but that meant nothing to him.  He said the office person was "not a plumber", so the price could not be correct.  The person giving the written quote works for them, and is giving out written estimates!  The technician complained about how expensive copper prices were, etc, etc, and that it was not included in the quoted price (It was).  They might as well have used $0 as a "Starting" price.  He had to "call the boss" to see what to do.  She ("The boss") came back with a price that was more than $500 additional at $1,345 if I wanted it done today.  They probably believe that many people will fall for that because people need to have hot water, and cannot wait.  Seems a far cry from the initial given price= BAIT and SWITCH.  Not even the same ballpark.  I declined and said that it was not an honorable way to do business.I therefore, DO NOT recommend using Fred Glinke Plumbing for the absolute dishonest way they operate their business.  They should honor their written prices. Anyone else with similar stories from contractors? Any recommendations for good and honest plumbers? I know they are out there.
