Should plumbers be certified or licensed?

<div>Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul> Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

<div>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hiring-quality-handyman-service.htm">questions or things to know before hiring a handyman</a> to do any work in your home.<ul><li>What kind of work do they do?</li><li>Do they have proper licensing?</li><li>Do they charge for estimates?</li><li>Is the estimate for both labor and materials?</li><li>Do they provide references?</li><li>Do you provide a guarantee?</li><li>When can you start and finish the job?</li><li>Do you have any before and after photos of your work?</li><li>How long have you been doing this kind of work?</li><li>Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?</li></ul></div>

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumber-cost.htm">The average cost to hire a plumber</a> is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need.

Of all six plumbers I contacted for estimates on my bathroom renovation (replacing cracked old tile walls around my tub with a surround and replacing the 1950's era fixtures), Troy was the only one who gave the project intelligent, logical thought. Instead of trying to boost the cost of the job...

The service manager Tim responded quickly and he was able to arrange the repair on the weekend on a short notice, which we are very grateful for, given that our kitchen was not usable.

Arrived on time. I expected a registered plumber, because I used an Angie's deal for two hours of plumber but he wasn't a registered plumber. He completed the job in an hour, and gave me a break on materials because it didn't take the two hours. I was happy with the quality of the service.
