Q: Can I still use an outdoor faucet during freezing winter temperatures?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to use an outdoor faucet in the winter, it might not be the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-lawn-hot-weather.htm">best time to water your grass</a>. Drawing water to your outdoor faucet increases the risk of that water freezing when you&rsquo;re done with the faucet, especially if you don&rsquo;t take the time to re-winterize your faucet. There are heated hose products you can buy to use in winter, but these can cost hundreds of dollars. It may be best to simply wait for the weather to warm up again.</p></div>

Q: When did plumbers stop using copper pipes?

• <div><p>For a long time, copper was our only plumbing material option. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. Copper pipes have been used since the 1940s and became most popular around 1963. It wasn&rsquo;t until the 1990s that PVC pipes became popular and began to replace copper pipes. Therefore, a house built before the 1990s without recent updates will likely contain more copper pipes. </p></div>

"I used Raul for a few projects around the house. He contacted me immediately and left a voicemail once I posted the job. He did good work and was reasonably priced. We had a tough issue with a hidden open pipe buried in a tile wall, and he opened up the wall and found and fixed the issue which had been bothering us for years."

"The project went very well considering the scope. Selecting the granite slab was enjoyable. Sal addressed a drywall issue when removing one of the bathroom counter tops.
Dos: Get an upfront estimate of all work before committing. This includes extra granite, backsplash, etc.
I recommend having a plumber unhook all plumbing and a carpenter repair and level the cabinets prior to installation.
The better the preparation, the better the job.
