"David is hands down the best contractor I've ever worked with! He has a background in engineering and it shows. My home's driveway was severely damaged by Helene (we live up in the mountains near Swannanoa, NC) and we had a mass of earth precariously perched above our home. I was very nervous it could continue sliding into our home. In addition to this, where our road had collapsed, it had become dangerous to pass with a car. David and his team were able to assess the damage and develop a thorough, well-explained plan for repairing this road damage. We were able to build a retaining wall and reinforce the bank adjacent to our road. He even re-graveled our driveway at no additional cost because his trucks were unable to access our property due to sandy roads. The work was professional and of very high quality. While he was working on the road repairs I also had him check our foundation to see if things had shifted during the hurricane. David was able to identify some bowing/cracking and suggested a repair with steel bracing. We agreed to those repairs and while working on this he noticed our decking bolts had come undone. David then went around both our main home and an ADU to check the bolts/nuts were tightened down on all exterior structures. This was going beyond and above by a wide margin and showed how much David cares about doing the right thing and helping people above all else. I cannot recommend David enough both professionally and personally. He's a wonderful human who does excellent work and I will absolutely work with him again in the future! -Andrew"

Flaker Flooring is a family run business that provides quality install with respect to a customers home and a keen eye for detail. 25 years of experience gives Flaker Flooring the confidence to help a home owner reach their goals with flooring upgrades to their home... We take pride in our work and would love the chance to work in your home. "We got you covered..."Our company also provides Plumbing, electrical, and painting services.
"Quick "spoiler alert" - we could not be happier with the outcome! Mike and his team on our project - SONNY & GARY (outstanding people and skilled workers) did a great job on what turned out to be a rather complicated flooring job with a lot of severe angle to cuts and odd transitions to deal with. It required skilled, careful work and a "good eye" for detail to be sure it was correct! And it certainly was!!! To rewind... We choose Mike Flaker because he was out quick to gives us a quote, explained the process and options we had. He also listened to what we wanted and gave us options accordingly as well as good suggestions we had not considered. He was super responsive to our follow-up questions by phone (or would run out in-person) to explain what we needed to know. Mike also discovered some issues on his walk through (hidden under the carpet) like squeaky floors and a slight settling in one side of the house. He gave us very cost effective solutions to mitigate the problem as part of an adjusted quote. As other problems were discovered on the stairs (again under the carpet) he and his crew made adjustments at no added cost even though it did slow their progress as they dealt with them. Mike also creatively used some materials we had previously purchased when this was to be a DYI project, saving us additional money on materials. He made adjustments to those materials to fit the situation - again saving us cash. During the process he was in constant communication. You will never be "ghosted" by this guy! If something came up requiring an unexpected delay you knew what was going on. This is a two way street so we had no issues when such problems came up as we always knew what was going on. As for the actual work...We had not used a contractor for anything in years and didn't think about the fact Mike was not going to be there for all the work but has several crews under him for different jobs. So his company really is only as good as the people he has hired and trained to carry out the work. I cannot speak about his other crews as of yet, but the key guys on our project - Sonny & Gary - were excellent! They were not only good people (very friendly and knew how to make friends with one of our rather skittish dogs with a daily treats - shared breakfast biscuits!) but were quite skilled and methodical in their approach. They explained what they were doing and showed us options on a very tricky central landing area with 6 doors entering in to from "all directions and angles". One wall required countless angled cuts - each one had to fit perfectly. They also suggested some ways to make that area look "next level" with how they handled the many room "threshold" transitions in the landing. Overall, they took their time and therefore saved materials by not making mistakes. It could have easily been "fast and sloppy" in places and that was not the case here. They also replaced all the baseboard and/or added some missing baseboard to complete the job. Again with excellent results. We plan to have Mike refinish our downstair solid oak floors with 18 years of age on them. We are confident at this point that Mike and his crew will match it all up with the new stairs for a really great final look between upstairs and down. In the end there are probably cheaper "floor guys" out there, but for what Mike, Sonny & Gary did and the extra time they took to correctly deal with issues they were quite reasonable. And I believe when skill is involved you get what you pay for! We highly recommend Flaker Flooring!"

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
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:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.
It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
