Rick Wiltsey Plumbing & Electrical

Description of Work: Repaired a toilet that was beyond the repair of this do-it-yourself'er.

Description of Work: They installed my appliances.

Description of Work: Rick and Travis performed a variety of tasks: They had to install a bathtub in a cove in a 1930s house. There was no way to drop the bathtub in, so they had to break the outside wall and slip it into place. They had to re-construct the outside wall in preparation for it being plastered. They connected the plumbing related to the bathtub They reconnected a toilet They replaced a waterheater

Description of Work: All of the main plumbing underneath the house and through the back yard to the city line needed to be rerouted and replace due to roots and crushed pipes. I would say about 60 feet of pipe.

Description of Work: Install a garbage disposal & a portable dishwasher: Plumbing, Electrical, Dry Wall and Paint Sounds like an easy job, right? But, the age of my residence, poor workmanship of previous repairs and a dozen other sorted details made this job, especially the dishwasher part of it, a custom installation that could not be accomplished without creative problem solving. That's what was so great about working with Rick, he gave a lot of thought to my project even though it wasn't a big money job. My kitchen counters and cabinets aren't deep enough for a dishwasher. I bought a nice portable, but I wanted to install it semi-permanently in the utility room next to my washer and dryer. A portable dishwasher is designed to be rolled up next to the kitchen sink. It has single fitting that attaches to the faucet and dumps into the sink. My original intent was to have a plumber replicate the inflow/outflow box that's behind my washing machine and then slice and dice the dishwasher tubes, so they would resemble the inflow and outflow of the washing machine. That's the job I described to Rick and that's the job Rick originally quoted on. But the next day Rick called me with concerns about the slice and dice part of the job. He made a pretty good case for doing the job differently - including the likelihood that I would void my warranty and increased the risk of a leak in the future. He suggested that we buy and install a small sink and a single faucet so that the dishwasher could be hooked up as it was intended by the manufacturer. Rick found me a sink at a discount boat supply company. I purchased the sink for $60 including shipping, so Rick did not take a mark up. He couldn't find a good value on a the kind of faucet we were looking for, so he bought something bigger and reworked it until it was a perfect fit. And he set the sink and faucet into a nice plywood shelf that he made. .
