The sink drains slower now than before the work was done. He suggested that I call another company that could jet the drain. I requested the parts in the tank of toilet be replaced. He replaced the flapper and lowered the level of water. Now we sometimes need to flush the toilet twice, we did not need to do that before he lowered the water level.

Saw the deal on Angie's List for 40 sq. ft. of granite counters for 1,599.00. This was the kind of deal we were looking for. We contacted James River Granite and Marble. We first met with them at their shop. They looked at the drawing of the kitchen and determined that it required a little more than 40 sq. ft.. The total cost was going to be 1,850.00. The increase was fine with us. They scheduled visit at the house to confirm that the estimated square footage was correct. They were late for the visit so we called. There was a family emergency and would have to reschedule. It would have been nice to have gotten a call telling us of the emergency rather than us having to wait and calingl them. The square footage was correct. We went to the stone yard and selected the granite slab. There were several slabs of this granite. Most of the slabs were dark, we selected the one light slab. The kitchen cabinets were installed and James River Granite and Marble cane out to do the final measurements. The installation was scheduled for the following Friday. The workers arrived with the granite to install the counters but one piece was too short. Also, we believe it was the wrong granite (much darker than what we had chosen). They had to return to the shop and cut another counter piece that was the correct length. Also, this piece of granite was not the one we had chosen. We check with the stone yard where we selected the original granite slab. They gave us an inventory number that was different that the number for the granite that was installed. The delay in installing the granite caused us to have the plumber return for another visit (and cost) to install the sink. After the granite counters were installed and everyone left, we noticed a 4 inch crack in the granite by the sink. I feel sure the installers knew of the crack, but did not tell us about it. The owner and the installation supervisor can back and agreed there was a crack and asked whether we wanted it repaired or replace. By this time we just wanted them gone. We chose the repair option. I suppose the old adage of "If it is too good to be true, it probably is" represents how we feel about our experience with James River Granite and Marble.

I contacted this company this morning to make an appointment to install a tube. The last service they provided me, was done by one of their trainees because the rest of the staff were in training. He over priced it over $1000.00 just to install piping, connecting from the base of the sink, to...

"I am giving All Renovations 5 stars for the basement renovation in large part because of Adrian’s excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. Our job was pretty extensive. It included moving support columns, demo and rebuild exterior stairway, adding a full bath, extending the finished/framed portion of the basement, moving the circuit-breaker panel, and re-doing our half-bath. The job took 6 months, which was about twice as long as we expected. Omar was always very responsive and provided good feedback. Adrian is very good at explaining things and soliciting your input when options/alternatives exist. He definitely does not take short-cuts if quality would suffer. He is also very considerate/careful inside your home and cleans-up after himself. Our $102k project ballooned to $125k, mostly due to nice to have add-ons and unforeseen issues. But there were several items I feel should have been caught at the contract onset. E.g. the need for a floor drain ($900), considering that we were getting rid of the utility sink basin. There was also an extra $4k to replace the drywall in the half bath since the existing paint was too textured (sponge) to paint over. But we were very pleased with the outcome and would definitely recommend All Renovations."

Sink Installation questions, answered by experts
The biggest sign that your flange leaks is if you notice water at the base of the toilet. The cause is likely due to a poor flange installation, so you might have issues with loose bolts, an uneven flange, or a cracked plastic flange. Add a deteriorating wax seal to this, and you have a recipe for disaster. The best solution is to shut off the water valve, replace the toilet flange, and seal it with a new wax ring.
There are several types of sink drain stoppers, including pull-out, twist-and-pull, and pop-up. Pull-out sink stoppers can be removed by pulling on the stopper until it comes out of the drain. A twist-and-pull design requires lifting then turning the stopper to lock it in an open position and the opposite action (turning, then pressing down) to close it. A pop-up sink stopper works by pushing down the drain cover to open or close the passageway.
Basic replacements can be done DIY, but professional services ensure proper sealing, leak prevention, and plumbing adjustments.
Install the sink between 30 inches and 34 inches away from the floor. However, this height could be adjusted accordingly for particularly tall or short residents. To accommodate wheelchair users, the vanity should leave a space underneath that is at least 29 inches tall, 30 inches wide, and 25 inches deep.
Costs depend on sink type, labor, plumbing modifications, and whether additional fixtures need upgrading.
