. The younger plumber returned at 11:00 with parts. Jack went to Tennessee for another job. At first I thought it was a bait & switch but Jack returned later that day. They worked until 8:00 pm to complete the job. The next day (Tuesday), I went to the house to inspect. The tenants said Jack returned that morning to install something in bathroom. They were told inspection would be done Wednesday. I spoke to Jack who said he installed an expansion device in the toilet & confirmed inspection the next day. I flushed the water heater (WH) because hot water was still discolored. However, the WH valve leaked slightly afterwards. . Early Wednesday, the tenants called & said they'd shut off the toilet because it was gushing. I called Jack & we met at the house. The problem: the City requires an expansion device. An expansion tank is usually installed. The cheapest solution is a toilet expansion valve. The only one on the market is "Watts GOV80M2", available at Amazon for $16.00. Jack had installed that (something anyone can install -- why would a master plumber install it?) Anyway, Jack said the Watts' valve was defective. He tried but couldn't fix it. He said an expansion device was really not necessary & his plan was leave it on, get the inspection & then install a regular valve afterward. I opposed the idea. I brought up the subject of water pressure (just a hunch). I asked if he knew whether we had a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV). Jack said yes because they were required by code. I said I thought it was required only if pressure from the meter was over a certain PSI. Nope, says Jack. (More about that later.) . I explained the lav faucet wouldn't work since the Pex was installed. It had worked before but not now. He said the faucet's screen was clogged & he couldn't remove it due to age (I witnessed him trying). During our conversation, I brought up a shower drain leak, the leaking WH valve and a 3/4" nut on the 1/2" iron pipe tub spout that needed to be removed. I asked for a quote the work. He quoted a price of $228.00 to tighten the shower drain, replace the WH O-ring & remove the nut from the spout pipe. I agreed to the price. . Jack left & returned to reinstall a new toilet fill valve. He fixed the O-ring and I just assumed he removed the pipe nut. While he was gone, the tenant was able to remove the faucet screen but it still didn't work. So then Jack tried cleaning the valves but it still wouldn't work. So I ordered a new faucet (from Amazon) & said I'd replace when it arrived Friday. The inspector came but would not release the job without hammer arresters on every appliance (ice maker, washer and dishwasher). Jack came back later that day & installed hammer arresters everywhere but the washer's hot line. . The inspector returned Thursday am & said the lav faucet & tub spout were now holding up the job. I didn't realize the faucet & spout would hold up the inspection. I told the inspector I'd install those on Friday when they were delivered. Jack wanted to be paid then, saying the only issue was the faucet & spout & those didn't involve him. He asked me for $1,998.00 saying their portion was done. I replied when the job passed inspection, the money would be paid. He said he'd tell his boss. Uh, OK... . I went home and pulled out the original quote & confirmed $1,700.00 was for ALL FIXTURES. So the extra $50.00 became a concern, along with several other things: 1) no hammer arrester on the clothes washer hot line, 2) no paperwork defining the extra work, 3) no expansion device installed (Jack replaced the toilet fill valve and I thought it wasn't an expansion device). Via email, I told Roto Rooter about my concerns (I wanted to start documenting everything). While writing the email, the tenants called and said their toilet was off again because it was gushing! So I included concern #4, the gushing, newly fixed toilet. Roto Rooter called within 2 hours after receiving the email. Their general manager, Terry, wanted to talk to me. . Terry, Jack & I all met at the house on Thursday afternoon. I was informed they'd measured water pressure and it was 85 PSI, (the maximum allowed is 80 PSI, so we were 5 PSI over). This was why both toilet valves had started gushing. They said I needed a PRV to fix the problem. (Jack insisted I had a PRV the day before.). I asked why they didn't just put on a regular expansion tank? Their response? No room for one. But I know a tank can be installed on the cold main anywhere before the WH (under the house). Terry said he'd put on a new PRV at his cost. I agreed simply to get the job done. . Terry said he wasn't going to "quibble" over $50.00. There was no "quibble" because the quote was for all fixtures; $50.00 was overcharge. He said he'd let the $50.00 "slide". My opinion is there was no "slide" or "quibble", only our original quote! Then we discussed the missing hammer arrester. They hadn't installed one on the hot because the tenant hadn't hooked up the hot. Because it wasn't being used, they didn't install. I explained the situation: the tenant was using a portable washer but planned on buying a full size soon. She'd hook up the hot then so a hammer arrester was needed. They agreed to put one on. Again, they wanted their money. I said I owed $1,928.00 ($1,700.00 for re-pipe, $228.00 for extra work) + the cost for the new PRV. They agreed to the amount. Again, I said once the job passed inspection, they would get paid. . On Friday the PRV was installed & the toilet finally quit gushing. The cost was $38.00. Friday night, the tenant installed the new lav faucet (Amazon shipped to her). She called & said the new faucet worked for 5 seconds & then quit. So she took off the risers & they were full of ROCKS AND DEBRIS. She said she'd clean them out Saturday because it was getting too late. I told her not to because I'd paid for all the galvanized to be replaced. I thought debris could NOT be in brand new pipes & this told me that there must still be galvanized somewhere in the system. I told her Monday morning I'd call Roto Rooter again. . During the initial inspection, Jack had told me the inspector chose not to crawl under the house. I realized that this would now be required. Monday morning, I called the inspector & reported the rocks & debris situation. I said I wanted every inch of the pipe inspected because there must still be galvanized somewhere. He said to contact the plumber & we'd all"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/al/huntsville/roto-rooter-plumbing-and-water-cleanup-reviews-470119.htm"},"position":10}]}
Dishwasher Installation reviews from real Angi homeowners in Newton, NH
Our plumber showed up early - after calling to be sure it was ok. Very pleasant and professional. Installing anything in an almost 300 year old home is challenging, but he made sure all the work was done properly, the dishwasher was level and tried his best to get it working. (Found out from...

Here at Dependable David Reliable Handyman Service, we strive to provide our customers with the best service in the business at a fair and reasonable price. We have worked in and around the Lee area for the past fifteen years and look forward to developing a great working relationship with our customers. Give us a call today for an estimate.
"I suppose that if you call yourself "Dependable" right in your name, you have to live up to it, and Dependable David definitely lives up to it. First of all, he answers the phone and gets back to you. Sometimes, this is to tell you that he has no room in his schedule to take on your task. But at least he gets back to you to let you know. And if he does commit to doing work for you, he's there when he says he'll be there. He also does good, solid work. And he listens carefully to what you're asking him to do. If you ask him to be extra neat when painting, he'll be extra neat. If you ask him to tape everything, he'll tape everything. He bills by the hour, so this allows him to be more careful or take extra time to do something just right, if you ask him to. He doesn't need to rush, because he bills by the hour. He also doesn't farm out the work to a bunch of different guys. He shows up himself and does the work. In our case, he ended up swooping in and saving the day after our previous contractor made a royal mess of the job and had to be fired. So far, for us, he has done: --Mudding and painting a large room, including high ceilings and stair wells. --Mudding and painting an entire kitchen. --Installing natural (unpainted) Hickory baseboard molding in our entire 2-story house (including applying polyurethane to the molding before installing). This was an absolutely gigantic job (491 feet of molding), with so many cuts and corners, including some tiny detail areas where the new molding had to mate with existing woodwork (like around the staircase). --Framing, drywalling, and mudding a new hall closet. He also sourced the door for us. In this case, he only had one free day in his schedule, but he didn't over-promise, and told us that he would only have time to frame/drywall and do the first coat of mud (I would have to finish sanding, mudding, painting, installing the door, and trim myself). And he did exactly what he said he would do. All of this work has been great in terms of quality. David is also a friendly guy. He's fun to talk to. And he seems like the kinda guy you can trust in your home. But most of all... he's dependable!"

"He started great, but went down hill. 5 months to install a new heating system after being told it was 5-6 weeks.I was told he had no idea when he could finish because he started a 92 unit condominium project. On another project they installed an HVAC system with no control board. Lied to continuously about dates. We paid in advance for the work and found out afterward that he fired half the staff (I now know why.) Rather than be upfront about the issues he was facing we told lies.

FAQs for dishwasher installation projects in Newton, NH
If your refrigerator needs to be repaired, contact an appliance repair company to diagnose the issue and repair your refrigerator. It’s okay to leave it plugged in and running, but unplug it if it makes unusual noises.
Signs that your refrigerator may need repairs include:
Food items are not being held at the correct temperature (between 35 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit)
The fridge is using too much energy and seems to run all the time
Loud and/or unusual noises
Possible causes include:
A damaged door
Faulty condenser coil
Malfunctioning control board
Contacting an appliance repair professional as soon as possible can help save items in your fridge from spoiling. Common fridge repairs include the compressor, control board, thermostat, defrost motor, coils, and ice maker.
In most cases, appliance warranties do not transfer to new owners. However, some exceptions apply. To check the status of your appliance warranty and whether you can transfer it when you move, review the terms and conditions of your warranties or consult your home warranty service. When purchasing a new appliance or one from a previous owner, be sure to pay attention to its warranty status, including the type of coverage and any exclusions.
Typically, most appliances last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, depending on the appliance, brand, and amount of use. Keeping a regular maintenance schedule, including cleaning and tune-ups, also helps appliances last longer. Dryers, gas stoves, and refrigerators tend to last the longest, averaging about 13 to 15 years. Microwaves and dishwashers tend to last about 10 years on average.
The average cost to repair an appliance depends on the appliance, make, model, the part that needs repair, and how long it takes to replace or repair a part. The following are the average repair costs for the most common appliances:
Refrigerator: $200–$300
Freezer: $90–$500
Oven, cooktop, range: $100–$500
Microwave: $50–$400
Dishwasher: $160–$300
Garbage disposal: $70–$250
Washing machine: $50–$450
Dryer: $100–$400
Appliance repair contractors may charge $40 to $120 per hour for labor, and most also provide the replacement parts necessary at an additional cost. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays and emergency fees may apply if you need your appliance fixed immediately.
The cost of home appliances ranges from $350 to $8,000 or more, depending on the brand, type of appliance, and features. Additional cost factors include any hookups that need to be installed, such as gas, plumbing, or electrical. Keep in mind that major appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and water heaters, will cost more than minor appliances, such as microwaves, due to the size, complexity, and essential nature of the item.
