However, Lexar respected that it was to be MY house, so therefore everything should meet with my approval, all while actually dealing with my mother here at home. They were very good about keeping both of us up-to-date on progress, and letting both of us know of issues or problems, and decisions that needed to be made. My beautiful house was completed on-schedule (if not early), and lived up to all of my expectations. Even more than one year after moving in, I am still very happy with the quality of my house. Matt Winter (the guy/general contractor in charge of building my house) is wonderful, and remains very responsive to any little question or possible problem I present him with. My mom enjoyed working with him immensely during construction, and I've only had 1 inquiry that turned out to be an actual problem since moving in. Matt and Lexar are dealing with this problem with as little pain to me as possible, and at no cost to me. Everything else has been my wild imagination, and explained to my satisfaction. In short, I have nothing but praise regarding my experience with Lexar Homes. There has only been once aspect of my experience with Lexar that I was not completely happy with. That is the sales lady's recommendation (before finalizing the contract) that I hire my own contractors for some of the work. She really encouraged this, claiming that customers enjoyed the "sweat factor" that came with doing so, and that it often resulted in less cost. However, perhaps because of the remote location, my mom had a terrible time finding contractors at all, let alone ones that I could afford and would meet scheduling deadlines. After all was said and done, I (and my poor mom) really felt that having Lexar do everything would have been much less stressful, and that any additional cost would have been minimal and more than worth the peace of mind it would have afforded. All in all, if I were to ever build another house, I would be perfectly happy to use Lexar Homes again.

Jeff showed up to service it. He performed the service and explained its current condition. The old furnace was the original builders special for the house which we pretty much knew. However we didn't understand fully what condition it was in. The furnace started at about 80% efficiency when it was installed in 1996. Jeff showed me where there was rust in the heat exchangers and was probably running at about 70-75% efficiency at its age. He also pointed out that the furnace was under powered for the size of our house. It was a 45,000 BTU furnace for a 1850 SF house. Jeff mentioned that the furnace probably runs a lot since it's under powered and I realized that he was correct, it ran a lot. He wasn't pushy at all and was just explaining what his assessment was. He also stated that we could get by with the old furnace for a while but at some point the heat exchanger could start to fail and let carbon monoxide in the house. I asked what our options were for a new furnace and he explain the 80% and 95% efficiency gas furnace options. My wife and I considered all the information that we had and did some of our own research and decided to replace the furnace with a 95% efficiency option. I should also mention that we are energy conscious and thought that the 95% efficient furnace was the right thing to do. I scheduled the furnace to be replaced a few days after we had it serviced. On the day of the furnace replacement, Bud and Eric showed up on time and ready to go. They got started right away and and let us know that the heat would be off for a while of course and the gas would be as well since they need to change the gas plumbing around the furnace. The installation went smoothly and was completed in good time. Bud explained the new furnace to me and explained some other detail about our heating system. They cleaned up well when all done.They also left us paperwork to get a rebate from PSE. The new furnace is great. It heats up the house quickly and doesn't run all the time. The house feels warmer too since its less drafty now. When the old one ran all the time, it was constantly circulating the air in the house and thus making it a bit drafty.

They installed the sewage pump for us and the individual's who did the work were professional, courteous, and helpful. The original company we had used had refused to pay for any of the damages caused by the flood and their negligence and did not even explain to us that we would need a sewage pump.Unfortunately, a few weeks later, our basement flooded again, much to our frustration! The issue was actually the fact the original company who had installed our downstairs bathroom and plumbing didn't secure the pipes well enough, so that when the sewage pump was installed by City Plumbing, the buoy that signals for it to start became pinned by the pipe due to the movement generated when the pump valve would slam closed. Even though this was actually due to shoddy installation of the whole plumbing set-up (even before City Plumbing became involved), City Plumbing payed for the clean up and drying out of our basement. Then also then came and installed a water alarm for us so that the water alarm would alert us if there was ever another issue and only charged us for the parts (not labor). Even though there was another flood, the fact that City Plumbing guaranteed their work and were quick to assist us, even though the second flood was really the result of the first company's negligence, was astounding.

"From the very start, Ian was professional and personable. He was always punctual for meetings and for performing the work. His responses to email were always timely and well written, something that I am sensitive about as a retired college professor. I am not in a position to truly judge the quality of his work, in part because it is underground. But I know that he did the work as scheduled for what I consider to have been a reasonable price and I have water in my house now. Ian was nice to work with and we are in the discussion stage for another project."

FAQs for affordable plumbing projects in Cle Elum, WA
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.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.
The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.
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.
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.
