Should plumbers be certified or licensed?

<div>Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul> Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

Excellent work. Followed schedule. No issues. Subcontractor costs seemed reasonable. Very pleased with the work. Company only does one job at a time, so work gets sole attention and is completed quickly. Only gave a "B" for price because it wasn't the lowest bid.

First let me start with the fact that the work required to do the job ended up over the estimate, and they never haggled or complained about it. They just asked for what was estimated. They used quality materials and everything looked and worked great after the job was done. I have had no...
