The TRUTH behind "Free Estimates"
Everyone wants something free, it is our nature. But the hidden truth about Free Plumbing Estimates is that the plumbing company that offers free estimates are paying there plumbing technicians on a commission basis. For instance, if you call a company that gives free estimates; they are sending you a plumber out that does not get paid if he doesn't get the job. What companies do, is pay the plumbers a percentage of the total bill. So ultimately when they get to your home they will be looking for other problems to sale. So the more he can charge you or sale you the more he makes. If you don't agree to anything, then he doesn't make a dime. Which sometimes makes the plumber "pushy to sale".
Here at our Lewisville plumbing Company, Brown and Sons Plumbing we charge a service fee to offset getting a licensed plumbing technician to your home, which is paid hourly. This way you get a fair price and only problems that need attention get repaired. In the meantime, the plumbing technician is still getting his hourly wage and not forced to charge extra to obtain a pay check. This method to us is upfront and we believe is the fairest way for you as our customer.
Instead of commission paid plumbing technicians, which can make a large weekly salary being a salesman not a plumber; we send you a licensed plumbing technician that is trained in plumbing not to be a salesman. (Nobody likes a salesman) A lot of companies believe that the chances of a customer calling back as a repeat customer is slim. So there theory is to get as much money as possible at the first service call. We disagree, we believe in repeat customers, referrals, etc. That lowers our advertising, gives us a better reputation, and the savings can get passed on to you as a customer. We are looking for long term clients. As always we focus on QUALITY service, parts and clean professional technicians that you can trust. With no hidden cost, everything is quoted upfront and with our pricing methods, most of the time the technician can go over different options for your repair to meet your budget.
Our Pricing System
We have a pricing guide that has been calculated carefully on over 40,000 completed jobs. Each price has been carefully reviewed to provide our Lewisville Plumbing customers with the most reasonable price.
The old plumbing way of charging was by the hour plus material, which is still used today in most companies. This is and can be frustrating to the customer because you don't know the total price until the job is complete. There are no two plumbers that work at the same rate of speed. When paying by the hour you are watching the clock and hope the plumbing technician can hurry before it runs into the next hour. Charging for time and materials is an incentive for the plumbing technician to work slowly. This is not fair to you, as a customer. So don't watch the clock wondering the price, know the price before the work begins. With this pricing structure you will save money, time, and frustration from not knowing the cost of the repair.
We believe this is the only fair pricing method today for our customers. Thanks again for choosing Brown and Sons Plumbing, LLC. "Treating your Family like ours!"
