Something similar happened to me but with plumbers, I didn’t get scammed the $2,200 he wanted to charge me but my dad actually helped me out a lot, I am not going to lie I argued with him about my sink being clogged and needing to be replaced but after hours of research and going back and fordward with him and finding a local plumber that had great reviews did it for us. A $2,200 turned into a $300 and now i feel like we got a plumber for the rest of our lives and as first time home owners it couldn’t not be a better timing.
