[edit] Steps
- Check to make sure that they have a plumbing license.
- Get two or more references.
- Ask how long they have been in business for.
- Get at least one other bid for the job to make sure they are not totally ripping you off.
- Find a plumber that will give you pricing for small jobs over the phone.
- Get flat rate estimates so you know the total you will pay beforehand.
- Ask neighbors for plumbing referrals.
[edit] Tips
- Small business plumbers will be much more affordable because their overhead is lower.
