  Buyer beware! I had ABC over to add a pressure reduction valve in advance of a planned water pressure increase in my neighborhood and did not ask for a quote before service. I expected normal plumber prices ($200 an hour plus parts). Instead I got charged $1500 for a new shutoff valve and PRV. There was 2 hours of labor, including a trip to home depot for the PRV that they did not have (I told them prior to the appointment that was what I was what the service was for). I had to be a part of the process the whole time. I pointed out that by adding the PVC pipe, we would have to move the house ground connection lower to meet code and did most of the work to make the cable out of my own left-over wire. In addition, I had to find and dig out the ground around our water meter to enable the process. I assumed I would be charged a reasonable price, so I tried to be helpful. If I break down the price conservatively we get $100 for a new shutoff valve, $100 for a new Pressure Reduction Valve, $1300 for two hours of labor ($650 per hour). I should quit my job as a PhD scientist and become a plumber. Shame on me for not asking for a quote in writing before the job.

  Response from the owner

  The customer called ABC plumbing out to replace the PVR valve main water shut off valve was bad also needed to be replaced grass had grown over top of his valve box outside. customer said he knew where it was at and grabbed a shovel and went outside and we dug up his valve box outside. We did not ask him to dig it up he chose to dig it and did not have groundin wire on the truck. The customer said he had some grounding wire that we twisted together, and we did not ask him for his wire or charge him for installing it, he volunteered. if you look at his cost what he thinks a PVR valve cost that’s not what plumbers charge. Home advisor has a list of estimated cost of what they charge for PVR valves. this is part of owning a home in Northen va this is part of owning a home. Rotor rooter, fh fuhr would have charged twice the amount. Sorry you feel that way but this is the cost of plumbing.

  Check BBB and do your research first! The 1 star reviews on here don't lie. Roy (who apparently also goes by Nathan and Leroy?) Is a crook. We had him come in for a job a couple years ago to fix a busted pipe, which wound up leading to replacement of pipes throughout the entire house. I asked him to leave the copper pipes, which he agreed to, then had his "coworker" (a plumber/likely his friend from another company) load it up and take it away while we discussed the job. Part of the replacement required tearing a hole in the basement ceiling, which was terribly repaired by some guy who took off quick, leaving the job unfinished and looking terrible. This was likely because he'd busted a towel rack off the wall and didn't fix it or mention it to anyone. After the job there was no hope in contacting him. Don't use this "company".
