Kingdom Plumbing (Stephen D Dewitt)

The location was a Wood Song Condo development off of Strawberry Plains Pike. New quartz counter were recently installed by Smoky Mountain Counter Tops which included a quartz under the counter top mounting The new sinks were 9 inches deep plus the additional depth of the under counter mount. The original stainless steel sink was 5 inches deep. The outlet originally provided was set just high enough to accommodate the original contractor quality sink. The new sink depth and the additional depth by the new sink strainer prevented a hookup without the drain outlet being moved. I happened to be in Lowe's in Jefferson City last week and met Stephen and we got talking and he said if I ever needed a plumber to contact him and he gave me his business card. I'm retired now and I retired early at age 59 and worked as a handyman until I turned 60 and qualified for a pension. I thought that I would be able to hook up the sinks but when I saw the drain outlet set so high put the back of sink cabinet and not knowing how the drain pipe was routed behind the wall I decided to call an experienced plumber. I called Stephen on Wednesday (06/25/14)and he said he would do the job on Friday (06/27/14). I appreciated the expedience of his response because dishes had to be washed in the bathroom sink. Using paper plates helped but still a pain to use the bathroom sink. Stephen arrived on Friday as scheduled and he had purchased new parts in anticipation of the hookup. He quoted me $85 for the job before even seeing it. When he looked a the high mounted drain outlet he said I have to open the wall and then make a determination of what has to be done. Fortunately the high mounted drain ran into a 2 inch PVP pipe which had a "clean out" bushing. Steve had to tie into the clean out pipe and remove the old piping which added to the complexity of the hook up using larger 2 inch PVC pipe. After bringing out a 2 inch outlet he had to reduce it to 11/2 inch PVP piping to accommodate the drain piping. The drain piping was more complicated because the disposal also had to piped. After everything was piped he performed at least 6 full sinks of water leak tests. Steve finished the job in less than 2 hours even though it was more complicated than he envisioned. I asked the charge and he said I quoted you $85 dollars and he asked for no additional cost for the parts he provided. I felt compelled to pay him more than he asked because he did such a fine job that was more complicated and anticipated. I consider him a find of a lifetime with due consideration of other contractor I have used. Also I like to support veterans whenever I get the opportunity and Stephen D Dewitt served courageously in the Navy Seals.
