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.

He was direct, and he never made me feel patronized. Wallace was prompt to bid the job and was on the job every day when he said he would be. We checked all his references and received glowing reports. He was upfront about current jobs that might delay the start date of our project. He made sure we understood that he billed materials separately from the work bid. Cost reflects billed labor, materials and materials we provided. Subcontractors hired were excellent too, although he shared our disappointment in the concrete contractor's failure to ensure a level floor for the bathroom, but he dealt with it as efficiently as he had with everything else. Wallace secured permits from the appropriate authorities and even sought their advice prior to beginning a phase where they could have easily denied approval if the work had been done in a standard way. Extensive ant damage was discovered when tearing out the old walls in the first phase, which required a change order. Wallace called in another contractor to do this work to ensure that his own work continued on schedule. He supervised all subcontractors: concrete, electrical, plumbing, sheetrock, floor covering installation. He did the rest of the work himself: framing (including jacking up floor joists to level the upstairs floor), grinding and filling the concrete where it needed to be level, painting, fixture installation, carpentry, finish carpentry, debris removal and recycling of materials - always cheerful and pleasant even with sweat on his brow or when things were not going smoothly. I am sure I have probably omitted some things - Sorry, Wallace! Wallace put an exterior padlock on the downstairs entrance so he would not disturb our kids, who live in this house, as well as to ease access for the subcontractors. He changed it to a deadbolt and door knob when the rooms were ready for occupancy. He provided a port-a-potty for the subs so they wouldn't track debris through the house or disturb anyone. This first phase took 3 months. The second phase (upstairs bathroom remodel) took just three weeks. The work went as efficiently as the first phase, and he used the same contractors as before (no need for concrete work). I am a nut about things being true and level, and Wallace worked to my complete satisfaction, even in this 65 year old house. He was generous with his advice based on his extensive experience. He also has an amazing eye for details. He cleaned up the job site every day. Here is another example of the type of person Wallace is: Our kids have a dog which has allergies. Wallace had brought a supply of treats for the dog on the first day of the job, and when he found out about the allergies, actually bought special treats for this dog."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/or/beaverton/wallace-l-rainey-reviews-203897.htm"},"position":8}]}

First. They were asked to do one thing only. They were asked to remove the vinyl floor covering so that my handyman could inspect the flooring underneath. Yet they went way beyond that and then asked my handyman to sign a document giving them permission to do what they had not been asked to...

This project went as well as I could have hoped for, and I cannot say enough good things about this company, from my first contact with Eric by phone - he called me only 20 minutes after I sent an inquiry by email via an online advice website - to the moment he left my house this afternoon...

Terrific! This company was the one chosen by my plumber to do the directional drilling for installation of a replacement water main at our house, so I cannot give a cost for them, unfortunately. This job was no small feat. Our driveway is 200 feet long, and it was another 50 feet angled to...

FAQs for affordable plumbing projects in Lyle, 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.
