We needed to faucets replaced and one laundry tub we had both faucets and the laundry tub. All we needed was the installation that we could've done ourselves but we ran out of time after many house projects. I had Brian out and he began to ask me about every water related issue in our home including testing our shower and our water etc. We both related that all we wanted was the replacement of the Fossetts that we already have. He then asked how long is it been since I had a plumber out to the house and had I seen a price list lately. Brian told me we might be shocked by some of the prices. He told me that this job would cost $3754. He then told me that the reason it was so high was because of his schooling and that he had more schooling that a brain surgeon. He said asked my wife and I how much we thought it would be or how much we be willing To pay. This gave me the indication that he has a variable pricing schedule and amounts based on how stupid you choose to be. We chose to be smart and we kicked him out of our house. I recently had ... plumbing out to the house and the total for all the jobs including two additional ones that just came up was between four and $500. Anyone who goes with Lake Cook plumbing is asking for a true gouging of your wallet. Never ever use them Lake county residents!
