in 2017 had a young man from ernie's reroute all my hot water lines through the attic due to 2 slab leaks. He did a good job and worked like a dog, was well worth it. So, when I had another this past month I didn't hesitate to call and ask for him specifically. he quoted me a figure $500 higher than the previous job, To be fair I agreed not knowing how long or how intensive the work would be, this was my bad. however he and his helper finished in one day and left me with pipes sticking out of my brick on the outside of the house and a mess under my kitchen sink. I don't believe this was nearly as labor intensive or as much materials as the first job and when they finished in a day I thought maybe I would get a price break, once again, my stupidity. I won't make this mistake again. The moral to this story is get bids and make them tell you exactly what their going to do. Won't be back.
