"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."

"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."
Yes, you can usually replace a sink without replacing the vanity. It really depends on the type of vanity and the type of sink. You’ll need to make sure you purchase a sink that will fit in the existing space. This requires precise measurements. You’ll also have to carefully remove your old sink, making sure you don’t damage the countertop during the replacement.
You’ll need a backsplash behind your pedestal sink in your bathroom. Because pedestal sinks mount directly to the wall and usually have smaller basins with narrow rims, it’s easier to splash and get water on the wall or floor. You’re better off having a backsplash while brushing your teeth or washing your hands.
Porcelain and enamel sinks have very similar appearances, but they aren’t the same. Porcelain is a ceramic made from natural clay, while enamel is a strong powder that’s glazed over a metal sink. Use a magnet to determine whether you have an enamel or porcelain sink. If a strong magnet sticks to the sink, it’s likely enamel. If it doesn’t, you probably have a porcelain sink. You can also use the model number on the sink (often found on the underside of the bowl) or information from the manufacturer to determine the material.
Local plumbing codes and manufacturer recommendations typically dictate the minimum distance between a sink and a dishwasher. This is generally 18 to 24 inches, providing enough room for easy loading and unloading of dishes without hindering the sink's function. Maintaining this separation not only adds convenience but also reduces the chances of water damage and optimizes plumbing connections.
On average, it takes four to eight hours to install a pedestal sink. However, several factors will influence how much time it takes to install a pedestal sink, including:
A replacement will take longer to put in than a new install
The size and weight of the pedestal sink—a pro may need an apprentice for help
It will take longer to change the sink type vs. replacing the pedestal with a duplicate
