Real feedback from real plumbing calls.
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
"Well pump quit on a holiday weekend. He got the pressure switch replaced same day and told me the tank had maybe a year left rather than selling me one right then. Called him back for the tank in the spring."
"Ran a new gas line for the range and the dryer. Pulled the permit, passed inspection first try, and cleaned up the drill shavings in the utility room."
