Last night the project began to renovate our powder room. As I was using my reciprocating saw to take out the vanity (not my greatest move) I cut a hole in the hot water line, naturally below the shut off valve.
After spending the whole day yesterday trying to patch up the line with no success (plumber`s puddy is garbage FYI), I finally gave in this morning and looked for a plumber.
I found Valentin on Homestars and was blown away by his reviews. I mean, the guy had 80 reviews and everyone game him a 10 so far.
Let me tell you, it was worth it. He showed up at my house 45 minutes after I`d called him (right on time) and roughed in my drain and copper water lines. Not knowing much about plumbing, I didn`t quite explain the situation to him when I was on the phone. He said that he would stick to the original quote anyway though because he doesn`t believe in surprise costs.
Lèt`s just say that he service was so phenomenal that I got him to raise the price by $200 because I felt that I wasn`t paying enough.
I`ve got a stack of Valentin`s buisness cards here at home to hand out to anyone who`s looking and I can assure you I have a plumber for life. If only I could find as talented a man to install my pool heater...
- Approximate cost of services:
- $600.00
