Incredible rip off. They will refuse to quote a rough estimate, even for a standard job. A toilet install, faucet, etc, should be pretty much the same. I completely understand if they arrive and there are circumstances which may add to the price, but they can tell you that before they start the job. The price they quote you, once they arrive, is RIDICULOUS! Being at the high end of a range in a market is one thing, but this is in the extortionate range. If you refuse, they will tell you that you owe them $79.95 for coming out, despite not doing any work at all. Find a plumber who will be honest with you and provide a no-charge estimate. Even if they are higher priced, you'll save a lot of aggravation.

This company has a D with Angies List and C- with the BBB. Read the reports. THis company operates very suspiciosly with high pressure tactics and pricing...In June 2011 I called them to do a tub rod on my 2nd floor. THe initial cost was $594. WOW. Maybe thats the going rate. I signed to it. He tried for 45min. Tech stated he couldnt unrod it. He started snooping around and decided he had to see the pipes under the bathroom. For an addtional $415 he would open my ceiling to check pipes. Well..I am into it for $594...I have 45 year old house and thinking it must be a big issue. I agree. Then he claims piping is not code and appeared to be leaking and would remove and try to unclog from there etc. and it will require a 2 man crew...roughly $1150 more...I decided that he may as well replace all the old piping now that he opened the ceiling and he quaoted $2124 for that. I gave a dep they would be back in a few days. Well..in the mean time I spoke to my friend who uses a plumber for his buildings. He was SHOCKED and said I was being ripped off and had me call his plumber. THe other plumber came out and rodded the tub for $155!!! I was so ripped off. I demanded an explanation from the mgr. I wanted my deposit back and a refund. WHat I didnt realize is that when I authorized the newer work from Bishop, I initialed some waivers. Did you know if you sign a contract in your home you have a few days to cancel(read your Illinois rights) This is suppose to be verbally explained to you. The tech never explained a thing and I initialled my rights away...OMG!...how horrible these people are. I told them they better cancel the new work order. THey said they could since it hadnt started yet. See they claim that everything is one flat fee...but really, every litted dtail is a separate contract for work. So rodding attempt was one, openening my ceiling was another. But since the work for coming back was separate...I could cancel that. I was out $1019 for NOTHING FIXED by BIshop and a hole in my ceiling!!. I feel like the purposely claimed I had a bigger problem.PS my pipes were NOT LEAKING...we watched it for days and nothing leaked. Then the mger claimed that he would not refund me because his tech did do labor...so they count the labor, not the completion of the work. I told them they better refund me and sign something they wont enforce the new work order. The office woman (I think DIane) claimed I threatened her. I never got my $595 or $415 back, just the deposit for new work..Well after this HORRIBLE expierence and fear of them...I started reading BBB and paid to go on Angies LIst...and wow...all the complaints are Identical to mine...even to the point were angry customers are accused of threatening them when it is pointed out that Bishop ripped them off. I also filed a complaint with the bbb and the Illinois agency that overseas plumbers. That agency rep seemed sympathetic and even stated that Bishop was known for this and he had many complaints about them so he told me to send all my paperwork. I told this agency rep I signed my rights away but he said to send it in anyway. I followed up and called the Il agency rep about 5x. He never responed. I cannot believe this agency hasnt shut them down. Seems consumers have no recourse. I also paid another $250 to have my drywall repaired. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE RIP OFF ARTISTS. Yelp and other reviews show them with 4 and 5 stars. Note there are lots of negative reports in there and then every other one or so there is a 5 star rating with a very generic they are great. Surely planted by the company to offset the real reviews...BEWARE...

I wonder if there are some nuns that are good plumbers?
