"I purchased the big deal, and I was not let down. Elly arrived on time, quickly assessed the problems, and worked out the best solutions. All the work was performed well. Elly was courteous and professional. "
"I had a leak under my sink with water pouring out. Also a leaky washer and warm but not hot water in two showers. I called Mark and he was incredibly responsive, set up a time at my convenience. He is a very young guy, but incredibly knowledgeable. You gotta love that Scottish brogue!! My kitchen sink is a great example of what to expect from him, it was simply a hose that needed tightening. He showed me the problem, including how to fix it myself in the future and fixed it in about 2 minutes. With the washer, he told me it was an issue for the manufacturer, which I appreciated. He was able to quickly turn my warm shower into a hot one. I appreciate his honesty and expertise, he was great. He is the one I will call if I need a plumber again."
"It took a little longer than anticipated, but the over all work was done to my satisfaction. I originally picked the paint color off the website and after they painted the first coat, I didn't like it, but I asked them to repaint with a new color and it was done as I requested."
"Andrew Laschyk is the owner of Two Rivers Interiors, and we dealt with him personally on everything, which was always a pleasure. Andrew is warm and funny, and is completely professional in his work. The only knock I could possibly give him is that he is, at times, difficult to get on the phone. When it comes to the work, the quality is the best I've seen. We took a small, old, humdrum utilitarian kitchen and turned it into a showpiece. The craftsmanship everywhere is superb, and on the crown molding is breathtaking. Andrew and his workers were polite, professional and tidy; they did excellent work, and cleaned the place up beautifully when they were done. Andrew prepared a detailed estimate, and never deviated from it without our advance consent. Andrew does some really amazing large expensive work for people with mansions in our area, ad we were a relatively small job, but that made absolutely no difference to the quality of the work, We are very very happy with the work does by Two Rivers; I would gladly recommend them to a friend, or to anyone, and would gladly hire them (and expect to!) to work on our home in the future. "
"We called the company twice about a renovation we're doing that requires trenching back to an existing building behind the house. The first time, it was about running the trench, and we didn't use them because they wanted $70 to come out and do an estimate. The second time it was to see if they'd install the plumbing in the new space (kitchen & bathrooms sinks, shower, outside spout), but they said they're a small company and can't have anyone on a job two weeks or more. The gentleman was upfront & straight-forward, nothing against them & I gave them an average grade, I just wanted to put this review up to save anyone time who's looking for that sort of work. Seems like they're more same-day, call-them-out-if-there's-a-leak plumbers. "
"Mr. Barlow and his team were very punctual and located the leak. They completed the work within 2 days and were available in a short period time. They were also very reasonable in price and very clean. When they finished their work, they threw out all old garbage and disposed of all unwanted materials as many workers don't do that nowadays. I was very happy with their service and work."
"Pacific Stone did a nice job. Person in charge of scheduling measurements and installation was pleasant and courteous. Within a few days of my inquiry they came out to my house to take measurements and they brought samples to choose from. Installation was done within a few weeks after that. Took away the old countertops and sinks. They know what they're doing. One of the installers was actually the owner and they were prompt and professional and cleaned up well."
"The service was good. They were on time. They actually came 30 minutes earlier and then they installed my kitchen cabinets. They did perfectly fine. They were very professional. They even brought their own tools. Everything was nice and neat. They did a good job. I would recommend them to anybody."
"Frank Tedeschi and his men did an amazing job. The buffet had sustained substantial damage, both to the interior (drawer and frame crushed by an unsecured heavy shelf board) and the exterior (multiple scratches and dents, and two drawer faces that required replacing). Frank went to a great deal of trouble to match the wood that needed replacing, and the repaired and refinished piece looks as if it had never been damaged in the first place. We are more than delighted with the result! Frank and his crew had previously done a great job stripping and refinishing a large mid-century book/display shelf for us."
Most of the time, you can replace a kitchen sink without replacing the entire counter. However, if you’re replacing a large sink with a smaller sink, you’ll have to fully replace the counter because you’ll have a gap in the sink space area. But if your new sink is bigger than your old sink, your pro can simply cut into your counter to open up space for it.
When installing an undermount kitchen sink in a granite countertop, use 100% silicone to secure the basin. If you’re worried your sink is too heavy, speak with a countertop professional about how to adhere the sink to the countertop without worrying about issues down the road. Sagging undermount sinks can be a common plumbing problem if they’re not properly adhered, so always make sure you’re using a high-quality material.
It is best practice to hire a plumber to install a bathroom sink and vanity. Even simple installations require basic plumbing work, such as connecting water supply lines and attaching the sink to the drainage system. While an experienced DIYer might manage a straightforward setup, any complex work, like modifying existing plumbing or installing new lines, should always be left to a licensed plumber to avoid the risk of expensive water damage. In most cases, a plumber will handle the installation, provided it is a straightforward job that does not require custom carpentry. It's important to outline your expectations with the plumber beforehand to confirm they can handle the full project.
The cost depends on the parts, labor, extent of damage, and whether extensive plumbing modifications are required. Typical repairs cost $150-$300.
