Hi,
You are having enough work done to warrent getting 3 or so bids. The person needs to be have a license and bonded. Get references and call them. In general beware of a really low bid - they are going to cut corners someplace. Go with your "gut" feeling - it's usually correct. Make a specific list of what you want done and get the contractors to write up a bid to do the work. Hill
: We need to replace the faucets on the 3 sinks in our house as well as on the tub and 2 showers. I would also like to have the tub's current drum trap replaced with an "S" trap. The one plumber we had in to do some minor work a few years ago was not satisfactory. I assume we should compose some kind of work order and have 3 or 4 come in and do estimates? Any suggestions on how detailed the work order should be and how to choose a plumber that will do reputable work? Two neighbors recommended the guy we didn't like and another does his own plumbing repairs/installation. I don't know how to get other references for plumbers in this area. Thanks for any help on this.
