"Extremely well. A big job well done by Justin and his co-worker Don, who is a master plumber. They managed the project with the least possible disruption of our living situation, cleaning up beautifully after every aspect. They gave us a reasonable quote and stuck with it. (Note, I found this company via Angie's list but apparently under a different company name? Perhaps they just recently moved to Hinesburg? I don't know why I can't find them again but I'm glad to have initially contacted them via Angie's List!)"

If you let a clog go for too long, you may have to invest in the price of professional shower drain cleaning, which costs about $225.
