Should plumbers be certified or licensed?

<div>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: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul> Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

He is very good. He is excellent. He is very efficient and timely. I thought price wise he is very good. I think he is not inexpensive but when we have somebody of quality, I guess we do not get somebody off the street. He is not cheap but he is good.

They were quick, efficient and took care of everything. They were great. They were not cheap, but nothing is cheap. Good plumbing is expensive, no matter what you do. They are a local company and they were recommended by other owners in our condo. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
