The crew arrived promptly on the morning the project began. Sheet plastic was taped over doorway openings surrounding entry way to close off the work space. Pathways of floors and stairway were protected with taped down heavy duty brown paper. Bathroom toilets & pedestal sink were disconnected & put aside. Carpet was ripped out of both bath areas. Old entryway tile was broken up with little jack hammer and removed. Membrane was spread on all surfaces to "float" the tile. AND the tile was laid in all areas... all this on the first day. Entry and 1/2 bath were laid in a staggered pattern and the full bath in a straight pattern... both beautifully done. Second day two workers arrived to grout but realized the premixed grout was different from what the contract specified. The store assistant located the correct color in powder form at a local retail store and the job was begun. Grouting under the white wall molding was problematic, resulting in bleeding of the dark color up onto the edge and in the crevices of the white molding. Remedy will necessitate paint touchup later after floors dry. In after thought I have wondered why the moldings were not taped off with painters tape to protect them from the dark grout... maybe concern about the grout adhering to the tape and resulting in rough surfaced grout when tape pulled away. We were instructed not to allow the dogs to walk over tile as nails could make holes in soft grout. Drying time... 72 hours. Four days later, early a.m., the office assitant applied sealant to the grout and cleaned the moldings as best she could. But touch-up painting still necessary. Forster Tile made every effort to please, and had we insisted I believe they would have done the touch-up painting. But we chose to do the painting ourselves.

Holman bypassed and repaired the first two leaks. When the third leak was noticed they knew it was something more serious and discovered that the plastic pipe embedded in the cement slab for the house had cracked in one or more places. They worked patiently and carefully with the insurance adjuster to to identify and document the leaks so that we could recover the maximum amount of insurance reimbursement. They finally decided to replace all original plastic pipe from the water meter to the house and then throughout the entire house. The house was replumbed through the attic with drops to all water outlets. Throughout the 5 weeks that we worked with Holman, they were punctual, polite, and professional. All costs of the initial repairs were applied to the comprehensive bill of replumbing the whole house. We cannot say enough nice things about the quality of the work and the professionalism of Holman Plumbing.

Our house is about 20 yrs old. Our issue was sewer smell and flies in the master bath. We had researched online and tried many remedies, but none worked. When the plumber arrived, I was shocked that they removed their shoes before entering our home! That was a nice touch! I then realized that he was not alone, but had a full team with him. We all gathered in the bathroom and I fully explained the problems we were having. He explained that he would first take a look into the pipes with a camera to diagnose any blockages or broken pipes. The camera uncovered some interesting issues. The lines were covered in "debris" and "sludge" that the camera was not very efffective. His team then was able to "clean" the line with presserized water to allow the camera to better see. After the pipes were cleared from years of sludge, it was determined that our line in the slab was not installed properly and it has a "bow" in it which causes the water and sludge to stand. The pipe still had a good flow, so his team decided that it was not an issue that was in need of immediate repair. The team then returned to the bathroom and removed the cover to our shower drain, tub drain and sink drains to determin if standing water in these was the issue. They determined that all were draining porperly and sealed properly and not allowing for standing water for flies to breed. He then asked if he could remove the toliet because it was the likely source of the smell and the flies. Upon removal, it was discovered that the "flange" was cracked and was allowing seepage under the toliet. The flange was not adjusted or a new one installed peoperly when the bath was remodeled and tile was put in about 5 years ago. It seems the plumber who installed the tolied after the tile was put in simply chose to tighten the toilet without having the flange at the proper height. This caused the flange to be put under stress and eventually crack and cause release of gas and sludge under the toliet through the crack. The reason it did not leak from under toilet was because the remodeling contactor also used tile morter to seal the toliet base to the tile. The plumbing team replaced the damaged flange and installed a new flange at the proper height. The toilet was also reinstalled with new wax seals and new bolts. As a courtesy, he also changed out our water line because it was a cheaper plastic one. He recommended the metal hose connections asthey will last much longer and have a very small history of failure. Again, he replaced at no charge while explaining. After watching his service team analyse the issue and not jump to conclusions or try to sell me services I really didn't need, I asked about another issue. Our house is about 20 yrs old and believe it or not, we were still using the original water heater that wasinstalled when the house was built. I'm not a plumber, but I did know that it ws time to replace as I did not wish to return to a flooded house one day soon. John Gause team looked at the heater and again analysed. He offered two options of replacement sizes he recommended and offered very comfortable pricing. Needless to say, I now have all of my issues repaired and a brand new water heater at far less than I was expecting to pay. Thanks to the team I met, John, Brad, Keith and Spencer. Needless to say I think they really went above and beyond and I feel confident in their work.

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
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.
