"Our water heat tank leaked. We called two plumbers and one need to wait for a week and the other required scheduling. So we called Floros. He gave us a quote after receiving the photos, and visited us on the same day. The work was done smoothly. He is knowledgeable and is helpful when we asked him about other issues in our unit. We will hire him again."

"We were looking to replace a tub and fix a leak in our old house. Jeff came and inspected and gave us a very reasonable estimate. They replaced the tub and the tile contractors were great. We then thought we'd just throw in a change of toilet and that then revealed a serious flooring problem. We ended up remodeling the small bathroom and Jeff did a great job. He is honest and wants to make the customer happy."

"The technician uninstalled an existing dishwasher and installed a replacement. Because of the age of the plumbing, he had to do some unexpected water line replacement and other workarounds. He took the time to explain the problems and do the extra work required, and charged a very reasonable amount for the extra time and effort. All-in-all, I was very pleased with the result and would highly recommend him."

"Ryan was wonderful. He explained our water test in layman's terms so that my husband and I could easily understand what was needed and why. The install workers were polite and cleaned up everything. Would recommend to any homeowner looking for cleaner and safer water."

"[Overall impression] How many times did I her Joe saying "Sure!" and "We can do that!" since we started our bathroom remodeling project last summer? Countless. Joe and his team have transformed an old bathroom of ancient construction to new, comforting, soothing heaven, with no headache/hustle/annoyance throughout the project. Craftmanship Joe put in the detail was above and beyond. The door originally painted in solid color was decorated as if it were stained to match its style to the door near the bathroom. There is no gap at all in trims installation. Every part was installed at a perfect angle. All electric parts and plumbing functions flawlessly. And more importantly, all issues that would have been neglected by other contractors are still addressed! [Project Detail] We started our plan to remodel the bathroom in spring of 2017. A designer was hired to perform a rough drawing of the new bathroom on which a couple of construction companies were invited to propose bids. Among three we received bids, Joe provided us the most competitive bid but lots of personal touch in the proposal. His proposal was not a copy/paste from his previous job. He scribbed his plan, and contingency plans specially tailored for our remodeling and responded quickly to the changes we requested. The construction started while we are away on vacation, and it turned out it was the right choice we made. By the time we came back from the vacation, the demolition was all done, and rough installation including discussion with city inspector to make everything in order. The rest of the installation including plumbing, electricity, tiling, vanity and tub installation all happened flawlessly. I found out and later appreciated, that Joe's goal was to provide a functional bathroom to our family as soon as possible and work on detail then. In retrospect, that was a very wise strategy as Joe spent extra attention and time to make all installation complete until we finish the project. When we had issues with plumbing or some detail was not in the original plan, Joe addressed them after we started using the bathroom. We recently identified a minor issue with bathtub installation, which I believe Joe will address by saying "Sure!". [Logistics] As Angie's list user, I care a lot about the ease of communication with contractors particularly. No one uses a web to find a contractor using the internet, and ended up using a phone to communicate with them! I am a busy professional who rarely uses a phone for business. Likewise, I expect my contractor to use emails (and texts) for communication. Joe was perfect in that regard. All of his communication including invoicing were all electronic. I could communicate, pay, request changes all by email when I am away for the business trip. There was no ", please meet me Thursday noon to discuss the project" with Joe. If you are one of them who has meetings or things to do during daytime (which most of the people reading this report would be), hire Joe. [Tips and expectation for future customers] A couple of things a prospective customer should know and expect before she starts to work with Joe. 1) Demolition, carpentry works, titling are all performed by Joe's in-house employee or someone Joe constantly work with. This employee seems to be more engaging to our project, and responsive to Joe's commands. He is a very skilled carpenter. 2) Plumber, electrician, and painters Joe brings in from outside company are top notch but seem to be in high demand. They tend to show up on later days than Joe says they would. They did amazing jobs. Thus it was worth waiting for them for extra days or a week. But you just have to gauge your expectations to this reality and don't get yourself stuck at home waiting for them. We used our keypad lock to let them, but we felt we were neglected in the beginning when we didn't know these outside contractors pattern. 3) Since external contractor relies on parts delivered to our house by a courier service when Joe or I was not present at my home, no one was really in charge of inventory control. There were a couple of occasions the external contractor could not find the parts to be installed on the day they showed up. I will hire Joe again for sure, but Joe and I have to come up with a better way to receive items, identify them, and provide them to contractors accurately. Perhaps, shipping all items to Joe's attention can be a solution to avoid the confusion. [Conclusion] I will hire Joe for any project we will perform for our house. His craftsmanship and personal attention I received are addictive. I also learned how I could work with him; perhaps he knows me more too. I hope this review will lead to creating happier customers like me."

FAQs for percolation testing projects in Boston, MA

The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.

Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits.
