Our plumber retired. He was old school, do it all, 'here's the problem' and he would fix it. No hassle, no let me show you this 75 times with explanations.

We need to get a go-to plumber. Experiences with 'companies' have not been pleasant. Cost and "that's not what we do" or "I have to call my manager" or "We have to get the other guy here to do that."

Nightmare. And this was basic, basic stuff.

Not looking for cheapest, if someone does good work, they should get paid for it. Just looking for reliable, can do/will do attitude and shows up when he says he will.

TIA. DM if afraid of solicitations.

Unfortunately, we are where, were at because buyers are liars and sellers are tellers and most people think giving a plumber a $50 dollar bill for a 2 hour job that included parts is fair. Consumers need to pay up or they just wont show up or it will be difficult to find one.

No plumbers looking for work? No relatives that you want to refer?

You might try looking on Nextdoor. Lots of plumber recommendations on there.

We used a service for a repair to a toilet that was going to require being “pulled” to replace the innards…something my husband had always done with previous toilets. Were VERY happy with the plumber they sent out. Not always the case I agree.
Would suggest if you use a company and like the plumber ask if he does side jobs and get his personal number.

I use and have used for YEARS, Bill The Plumber - never had a problem or a ripoff
Now HVAC in this town is mostly criminal lol
Pick a company like Bill, not one who does pools, hvac, electrical and "everything"
