The women i care for was charged 1,300$ to replace a outside double Headed spigot. No detailed receipts. They do not disclose how much your materials are. I wouldn't think a standard double headed spigot would cost 1,300$ to replace during the week before 4pm . The senior/disabled women I care for said she will not be using them again. I truly feel horrible that a company would take advantage of anyone but more over the elderly and disabled. Every reputable company I have worked with ALWAYS gives a detailed receipt of work , services and materials used. Unfortunately not this one .
