"Forget Len the Plumber. Use Eric Straus instead. He is efficient, professional, and reasonably priced. Due to a knee replacement, I needed a higher toilet and a grab bar. ASAP. I called Eric in the morning. Everything was done by late afternoon. He purchased the toilet for me and took the old one to the dump. He's friendly. You won't be disappointed in him. He's a gem."
"Everything went well. This is the third time we have used Mr. Fama. It's really nice to have someone you can rely on to be on time and do the job and know everything will done well. I use our storage room to pot plants etc. Unfortunately the only sink on this lower floor is a shallow sink in the bathroom and have to carry dirty pots etc. upstairs. They arrived on a very rainy day and covered all our floor with protection before starting. The sink was placed near the water pipe and a cabinet had to be moved. They moved the cabinet and installed the sink to a spot nearby. Removed boxes from that area and placed the cabinet there, next to the sink. They cleaned up and left the area spotless."
"It went well. The install was done in approximately 3 hours; knowledgeable technicians. Our drinking water tastes amazing and resolved hard water problem."
Saw Re-Bath at the Fall Maryland Home & Garden show and requested a free at home consultation. John Vesperman, who is an owner, came to my home and advised me what they could do for me to fix my problem with my hall bath. I also had him look at my master bath and asked if he could re caulk my tub and walls and install a couple of grab bars plus a new tub spout. He did not pressure me to sign a contract at the time of consultation. He advised me to visit their showroom to see the tub and wall systems in full size to be sure I was getting the color and style wall system and tub I wanted. Only after I was sure I was getting what I wanted did he write the contract. He even gave me a $500 discount for seeing them at the Home Show. After John received the materials he worked with my schedule to do the job, so I did not have to miss any time at my job. John and his father Bill, who is also an owner, came on time and started by laying protective runners in the path to my bathroom not to dirty my carpets and hardwood floor in the entry way. They kept any dust and debris contained not to mess up my home during the demolition of the old tub and tile walls.
Everything went as John said it would. NO SUPRISES. I'm VERY happy with my new hall bath and spruced up master bath. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting bathroom remodeling done. Thanks John & Bill for a great job.
"Bill was very responsive and did a very thorough assessment of the water damage. He provided a detailed estimate for the work at a fair price. My homebuilder agreed to repair the damage and I didn’t need to hire Flood Crew LLC. I would hire Flood Crew LLC in the future if needed."
"Vince from V&C was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I would highly recommend him to anyone, and I will be recommending him to my parents and friends who need gutter cleaning and repair work done. He was honest and upfront about everything during our first phone call, and from his other great reviews on Angie's List, I was confident that he would do a great job. He gave us a rough estimate of the cost of the work we needed over the phone, as he wasn't able to do an on-site estimate (which I totally understood). With the cost of gas and travel being what it is, I don't blame him! Not only that, but he is very busy with other gutter jobs, so he took a description of our house and gutters over the phone, and gave me a pretty solid estimate without having to actually come out here first. Works for me! My initial call set up a job appointment about 2 weeks out. I felt that if he is that busy, then he must be pretty good!! (and worth a little wait) He confirmed the appointment a couple of days before, and also called and texted me when he was on his way that morning. I appreciate the great communication! Vince and his assistant completed the work in about 1.5 hours. They cleaned all the gutters, spray-jetted the downspouts that needed to be flushed, and also cleaned off the siding on the house in the areas that they worked on. Vince re-attached the front gutter and replaced some old bent gutter nails with new screws and brackets. He re-pitched angle slope on the rear gutter, and spray cleaned that one as well. He removed one section of downspout in the rear and removed a pretty bad clog. While Vince was on the roof, he pointed out some exposed nails and other roof issues for me, which was very nice of him! With his leaf blower he used to blow out the gutters, he even offered to blow some leaves off of our patio! After the work was completed, he even wiped down our porch and spray cleaned our sidewalks and front porch to clean up after the job! Quick, clean, and professional! We are having V&C come back in the spring to install an additional downspout in the front and rear of our house, as we only have 1 per side, and the house is a bit wide for just 1. They'll also be replacing the last remaining old gutter in the front with a new one (with screw-mounted hidden hangers instead of nails). Vince took measurements while he was here, and we are going to schedule the work soon. I watched all the work happen, and Vince explained everything he was doing as he went along. They worked quickly and cleaned up like they were never here! Vince gave us a fair price on the entire job, and even offered to give us a deal on yearly gutter cleaning if he comes back next year. "
"Upon arrival, 7 man crew moved furniture into center of two story space. Floor kick molding cleaned and taped. Walls sanded then ceilings painted.
4 different paint colors used 1) sunroom and under chair, 2)main area and foyers 3) master bathroom 4) kitchen.
Upon completion all floors were cleaned including special care along walls that were hardwood floored. House was left spotless.Subsequent checking showed that the wall/ceiling cut in was flawless. All walls showed consistent coloring with the 2 coats of paint. Painters even touched up other semi-gloss trim while finishing the woodwork they installed.
Overall we are exceedingly pleased with the work George's Painting did on our home."
"The plumbing portion of the contract was mostly satisfactory. The contractors employees were unprofessional and careless in the use of the facilities in the various apartments. The job was too large and the contractor brought in extra help that were inexperienced and caused additional problems "
"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

Different plumbing problems can cause your P-trap to leak. The biggest problems are loose nuts and misaligned pipes. Over time, your P-trap can leak due to the rush of water moving through the pipes, which in turn loosens the nuts and causes the pipes to fall out of alignment. Other problems include worn rubber O-rings and cracked pipes.
Expect your stainless steel sink to last between 20 and 30 years on average. When well cared for, you can use your sink much longer, particularly if you protect it from rust. A new stainless steel sink costs anywhere from $200 to $1,500 including installation, so it's in your best interest to take extra care to ensure its longevity.
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.
Older faucet fixtures may have some corrosion, leaving them stuck. Try a few techniques to loosen the fixtures.

Purchase a faucet pulling tool to pop the fixture loose.
Yes, drain stoppers do come out. In some cases, you can twist them counterclockwise to remove them. You can lift some drain stoppers halfway to the raised position and unscrew them. For others, you will need to lift the drain stopper to the raised position and unscrew the stopper from the stem underneath the top of the stopper.
