He often had to use imagination and ingenuity to make some things work. For example, he installed the floor & toilet first, since there is only one bathroom. He had to ?retro-fit? much of the plumbing because of issues with the very old ?galvanized? piping. He had to measure very carefully for the floor/ceiling trim, etc. due to some ?settling? of walls. Mark is very easy to work with and very flexible with schedules. He works with an eye toward perfection and will do whatever it takes to get the job done! I love my new bathroom and plan to use Mark?s services again. I do not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a multi-talented handyman professional.

They were very impatient the entire time. They dismissed my questions and seemed inconvenienced by the visit. The main plumber even said that he had had a terrible day and "didn't feel like" spending much time on our estimate. He gave us a ballpark and said he would send a better estimate via email. We did not receive the estimate until almost two weeks later, even though he said at the time that the pipe should be fixed immediately. We had someone else do the work, and that company had the estimate that afternoon. Also, two other plumbers who gave us estimates told us that something Modern Plumbing said needed fixing did not, in fact, need to be repaired. The ballpark estimate we got from Modern Plumbing included an extra $90 for the repair that they said we needed but did not need. I was uncomfortable with them in our home, and felt that they were uninterested in treating us with respect but very interested in seeing how much money they could get out of us.

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts
There are several reasons a shower could lose pressure, including clogs in your showerhead, leaks, corrosion in your pipes, or faulty components like a shower valve or shower diverter. Issues with your water heater or water pressure regulator can also cause a drop in pressure, so it’s important to hire a licensed pro to diagnose the problem.
Annual inspection prevents leaks, blockages, pressure issues, or other problems from developing.
In most cases, yes, homeowners insurance will cover burst pipes, even if they run through your foundation. Not only that, but most home insurance companies will also cover any foundation repair you need done that resulted from the plumbing leak because your insurer will view the leak as an unforeseen and non-preventable issue.
Some of the most common plumbing repairs are certainly no small issues. The good news is that plumbers typically deal with these problems frequently and have the parts and tools ready to take care of them quickly and efficiently.
These common problems include:
Yes, you can remove a bathtub yourself if you have previous DIY experience and basic plumbing knowledge. You should have at least one other person help you if you approach this project as a DIY. However, hiring a plumber or bathroom remodeling pro can prevent accidental damage from demolition or water leakage.
