"Dave did a great job of updating our bathroom which was much in need of updating. He installed a ceiling fan and an outlet (no more plugging the hairdryer in the living room outlet with a long extension cord!). He had a subcontractor install penny tile flooring after removing the existing linoleum tile and prepping the concrete floor. He removed the old vanity (probably the original from 1955 when the house was built) and installed a new vanity, which was a bit tricky because he had to center the plumbing which was originally off center on the old vanity. He fixed many bumps and lumps in the walls, drywalling where necessary, than smoothed, primed and painted. He was very communicative through the whole process, from estimate to finish. I actually was at times a bit nervous about the potential issues that he brought up, but he handled them all in stride, and I soon realized he just wanted us to be aware of the potential issues so there would be no surprises (and there were none). We bought all the materials except for the fan and some extra hardware needed for installing the vanity (it didn't come with very good wall hangers and it's a floating vanity) and the outlet switch and primer (I'm sure he would've paid for paint but I went to HD to get a special mold resistant paint). He threw in replacing the lighting fixture for free, which was really nice and tied up some loose electrical odds and ends while he was in the attic area, figuring out the installation of the fan and outlet. Much appreciated! He wasn't able to install some end tile we had hoped to put around the existing shower tile but that was the fault of the previous installer, not him.
All told, it took a full week (including weekend), which was a bit more than the time estimated, partly due to some things taking a bit longer than anticipated (we have a very old electrical system) and partly due to his busy schedule, which is to be expected with any good contractor. But he came both days on a weekend himself to finish the job before the start of the next week and he stayed on budget! So we were happy. He was very professional, friendly, responsive to text and emails, punctual and I felt completely comfortable with him doing work in the house. He's licensed and insured and uses contracts so I was very confident as far as that sort of thing goes. We hope to use him again for our kitchen, if I can ever get the husband to agree on what kind of flooring we should get, ha ha ha!

"Al and his team have been fantastic in both service and workmanship. We needed a shower replaced in our rental home. He not only provided a number of options, but recommended ways to save money as well. The work project itself, Al made sure if there were any concerns we had, he addressed it promptly. We plan to use C&H for a number of other smaller handyman projects we need done both immediately and any others in the future."

"We had our master bath shower and tub removed and replaced. We used Shugarman’s bath company. Jorge Topete was the installer and I can’t say enough praise for this man. He called daily to let us know exact arrival time, never assumed he knew how we wanted things ( he asked about everything, every measurement and placement before doing the work), he was meticulous about everything and the results were perfection. The bathroom looks beautiful and really improves the value of the space. He was respectful of our home, kind to our 11 year old dog who wanted to say hello, and left everything clean and tidy before leaving for the day. I highly recommend this company but most of all this extremely skilled craftsman installer."

"In the middle of a heat wave my regular plumbing/heating company couldn't help me out with a barely functioning air conditioning system in less than 2 weeks. I called Carini and Anthony came out and fixed the problem 2 days after my call. He was prompt, professional, cared about not tramping dirt and dust onto my white carpeting, and explained what he did and why he did it very clearly. I will use this company for all my future air conditioning/hearing system needs. He gave me a very good price as I was a first timer with the company.

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Rough-in plumbing can take anywhere from three to five days for a pro to complete. The exact time to complete this job depends on several factors, such as the size of your home, the number of plumbing fixtures, and how accessible the plumbing system is. If any complex plumbing problems come up during the process, it might extend the length of your project.

The average lifespan of plumbing ranges from 20 to 100 years, primarily determined by the pipe material. For example, PEX piping can last 80 to 100 years, while copper and cast iron pipes have a lifespan of 50 to 100 years. Other materials like CPVC, brass, and steel typically last between 50 and 70 years, and galvanized steel pipes have a shorter lifespan of up to 50 years. The longevity of any pipe material is also affected by factors like soil acidity, extreme temperatures, and proper maintenance, which is crucial for ensuring a long service life.

The only downsides to hiring a master plumber is that they charge a higher hourly rate than a less experienced plumber. Plus, master plumbers likely have less availability, given the demand for highly experienced professionals. The benefits far outweigh the cons, though. Upsides include the following:

  • More professional repair

  • More experience fixing your specific issue

  • Recourse if something goes wrong

  • Warranty for the work (in some cases)

  • Some insulation from lawsuits if the plumber gets injured on your property

Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. 

Repiping your plumbing is when you remove the old plumbing system and replace it with newer, more modern plumbing and drainage pipes. Typically, older homes are repiped to upgrade the plumbing system. If you have frequent issues with your home’s plumbing system or live in an older home with outdated pipes, consult a professional plumber about the best course of action for repiping your plumbing.
