They were prompt and fast. Service was nice. I changed my old sink (2 bowls) for a new one (single bowl). They made all the connections and installed the garbage disposal. 2 guys came, but only one of they stayed to fix the sink, so I was charged only for one.

"I recently had some electrical work done in my home by Prodigy Integrations, including running new wiring and installing a ceiling fan. I couldn't be more pleased with the services. From start to finish, the professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. First and foremost, Randy, the technician, was incredibly courteous and respectful. He showed up promptly at the scheduled time, which I greatly appreciated. It's rare to find such punctuality and reliability these days, and it certainly set the tone for the entire experience. Throughout the job, Randy maintained a clean and tidy workspace, ensuring that there were minimal disruption to my daily routine. This level of care and consideration made the process smooth and stress-free. Not only was Randy professional and prompt, but his pricing was also very fair. For the quality of work provided, I feel I received excellent value. He was transparent with the pricing from the beginning, so there were no surprises when I was presented with the bill. Overall, Prodigy Integrations exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're looking for a trustworthy and skilled technician, I highly recommend giving them a call.

"?I strongly advise against using this inspection company. They completely missed over $30,000 worth of major foundation issues in the home they inspected for me. When I asked them to take responsibility and provide their insurance information, they refused to cooperate. An inspection is supposed to protect buyers from exactly this kind of costly surprise ? but this company failed at the most basic part of their job. I would not trust them to inspect any property.?"

FAQs for sink repair projects in Salem, WV

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour.
