We’re here to help take the guesswork out of your bath build or remodel. Here are a few tips every homeowner should know when it comes to hiring a plumber. It can help save you time, money and even your sanity.
-
Talk to two or three different plumbing contractors about your project. Ask for their references, credentials and references — and check them before you make your final decision.
-
Make sure that your plumber has liability, as well as workman’s compensation, insurance.
-
Discuss your fixture choices with your plumber and secure recommendations before you shop around. Your plumber may be able to get an industry discount or refer you to a supplier. Also, keep in mind that experience counts. If your plumber has installed the fixture before, you should be able to avoid any possible installation problems.
-
Ask your plumber to note the model numbers of any fixtures that have been installed directly on your receipt or contract for future reference.
-
Find out if your plumber offers a service contract. Your gorgeous new bath retreat will be much more serene if you know an expert is periodically checking to make sure the plumbing is operating correctly. It’s also a good idea to ask for any preventive measures you should be taking to take care of your new bath.
