Howe & Bassett Co

I had a job that we needed to do-​replace a leaking drain in the shower, and basically replace all of the old metal drainpipe from that bathroom to the stack. It was a fairly straightforward job, due to the access from the garage under the bathrooms. I got 4 estimates, including one from this place.
The other 3 estimates were in the $ 900-​$ 1200 range, but not this guy. He tried to convince me that it was the metal pan in the shower that was leaking, and that we’d need to completely tear out the shower and replace it, at a cost of about $ 5k.
To make a long story short, I went with the plumber that I trusted, and we had a good repair. I mentioned the estimate that Howe and Bassett gave, and he told me that there was absolutely zero truth in his estmate.
I can’t say whether Howe and Bassett has guys who do a good work, and I never will, since I will never give business to them. Beware people, always get multiple estimates!

We recently had a storm drain, a water filter, hot water dispenser, and a new bathroom faucet installed. Price was very fair, the workers showed up on time and everything was left clean and ready to use. Prior work for us had likewise been done to this same high standard. As good as it gets.
