Report
They are WAY WAY WAY over priced. All we had done was a shut off valve replaced. The guy only worked on it for about half hour and charged us $345, but was out in his vehicle for probably 3 hours or more. $172 for the actual work and the rest for overhead expenses. Overhead expenses being to keep their business running. And good luck getting ahold of anyone in the offices. It took over 3 weeks for anyone to call back from scheduling, accounting, membership, or customer service departments. I didn't want to give them 1 star, but had to to submit this review

I get a reply back from a Lauren at Peterman's asking me to send and email with my address. I sent the email 11 days ago and still not had a reply back.

After receiving my estimate today it is clear to me how they can afford to constantly run television or radio ads. The amount they charge for basic plumbing issues is not within reason and we'll above that of their competitors. Based on my recent experience, I can tell you that the Peterman Brothers are not putting their money into hiring employees with people skills and good customer service.
Word of mouth has always been the best form of advertisement, but after seeing many negative reviews similar to mine it is even more clear to me why they are spending so much on commercials. In closing, please do you your own research about hiring this company, but given today's shenanigans I would rather hire the Mario Brothers.
