company. I hired Vega's landscaping to remove a concrete patio and install a small brick patio. The price was great, so I hired them. But I had to repeatedly call them to inquire when they were going to start, and once started, when they were going to finish. Then the problems began, within a couple of weeks of the completion (sinking bricks, poor drainage, etc). Unfortunately, I had already paid since I thought they were a reputable organization. They have still not returned my many messages, requesting a discussion on how to repair the patio.

They had a large selection of materials to pick from especially in the quartz at their showroom in Park Ridge. They also have sinks and faucets at the showroom. I purchased the new sink from them along with the counters but once they install the new sink you have to supply your own sink cups/drains. They also will not do any plumbing so you have to hire some else for the new sink and faucet hook up, which they tell you ahead of time. I was very pleased with the work performed. One glitch came up after they were done with the job and left I realized that they did not haul away the old counters and left them on my driveway. After calling Masters they got a hold of the two man crew who then returned and removed the old debris which they were supposed to do before they left.. Masters apologized for the error.
Very pleased with the new quartz counters. I had a lot of counter surface to replace including an island and backsplash.

I also had a damaged spot on an edge that he was able to repair and fill in. My sink and counters looked brand new when he was done. It's unbelievable!

"Installation went very well, but at the end I noticed the floor anchors are sticking out too much and the caps are not covering them. After I asked the installer if he can trim it, he said he doesn’t have hand saw and cannot use his power saw to do it. He told me I will have to buy my own saw and cut it myself. That defeats the purpose of hiring and paying for a professional to do their job!"

Sink Repair questions, answered by experts
If you have the patience and help to install a kitchen sink, you can do it yourself. This DIY project works best when replacing a sink that fits the existing hole, and the fittings and plumbing are in good condition. If you're worried about the plumbing's condition or aren't sure how to shut the water and power off to the garbage disposal and dishwasher, it's best left to a sink installation pro.
Today’s standard sink stopper size is 1.5 inches. However, you can still find different sizes if your house uses an older sink stopper. Other sizes you can find in most hardware stores include one inch, 1-1/4 inch, 1-3/8 inch, 1-5/8 inch, 1-7/8 inch, 2 inch, 2-1/4 inch, 2-3/8 inch, and 2.5 inch.
When it comes to weekday work, the busiest days for plumbers are Monday and Tuesday. Part of the reason is that people discover plumbing problems over the weekend but wait for weekdays to help save money.
As for the busiest day ever, many plumbers point to “Brown Friday,” their nickname for the day after Thanksgiving. A day of guests, lots of food, and unfamiliar bathrooms can often lead to plumbing disasters, making that Friday a hotspot of emergency plumbing work. Follow our holiday tips above to avoid becoming a statistic.
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.
A handyperson with basic plumbing experience can install a bathroom faucet, like the kind of skills you’d need to replace a P-trap or swap out a showerhead. They may not have deep knowledge of local plumbing code, though. If your faucet installation requires work on the pipes behind the wall or under the floor, hire a licensed plumber with the necessary training and licensing.
