We had a terrific experience with Jim. He was always extremely prompt and professional. He was able to set up a time to give an estimate within a couple of days from our first call, and provided a written estimate which he kept to even when unexpected things happened. He was proactive in coordinating his work with the contractor we hired for the job, and was willing to make an extra visit or two to allow the project to be completed quickly. There were a number of project phases involved, as we were replacing a tub, and needed to have a sink/vanity and toilet moved out to make room. He did a terrific job of the installation and made us feel comfortable to call him if we had any questions or problems. He came by for a final visit, just to make sure we were happy with everything, and made a couple of minor adjustments when we asked. Jim is down to earth and communicative. We found our faith restored in the plumbing trade by Jim, and would look forward to working with him again.
Description of Work: Bathroom renovation. Replaced bath tub, shower fittings, other pipes such as the drain and pipes flowing out from the tub, and a bathroom faucet. Removed vanity and toilet to allow room for work to be done.

Jim was excellent! He was incredibly professional, and performed the work quickly. My only complaint was that he was a bit later than he had said and didn't call until he was already late. But his efficient service more than made up for it! Will definitely call him for future needs.

JIM'S A GREAT PLUMBER! HE CAME OVER TO EVALUATE THE JOB THE DAY I CALLED HIM AND FAXED AN ESTIMATE OVER THAT NIGHT. HE WAS VERY REASONABLY PRICED, EXTREMELY COURTEOUS, PLEASANT, ON TIME, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND EFFICIENT. JIM FINISHED THE JOB RIGHT ON SCHEDULE, AND FOR NO EXTRA CHARGE EVEN REPLACED SOME BROKEN SINK PARTS THAT WERE NOT IN THE ESTIMATE.

JIM GAVE FIXED PRICES OVER THE PHONE FIRST, SO NO SURPRISES. HE MET MY (TIGHT) SCHEDULE TO DISCONNECT THE OLD APPLIANCES PRIOR TO DELIVERY OF NEW, THEN WAS VERY FLEXIBLE WITH RETURNING FOR THE INSTALLATION WHEN THE DELIVERY WAS MESSED UP BY THE APPLIANCE STORE. HE RUNS A SOLO BUSINESS, SO WASN'T OFTEN IN WHEN I CALLED, BUT WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT RETURNING PHONE CALLS. HE WORKED QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY, AND LEFT NO MESS. WHILE THE PRICE WAS A BIT HIGH, HE WAS WORTH IT. I WOULD HIRE AGAIN.

INITIALLY CONTACTED JIM TO REPLACE OLD TOILET THAT DID NOT FLUSH WELL. HE AGREED TO DO SO, AND RECOMMENDED A CERTAIN STYLE THAT WAS COMMONLY AVAILABLE. THEN I GOT NERVOUS ABOUT RUNNING INTO UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS BECAUSE MY HOUSE IS SO OLD AND THE MEASUREMENTS ARE NOT STANDARD, AND I DECIDED THE MORE CONSERVATIVE THING WOULD BE JUST TO REPLACE THE TOILET MECHANISMS. JIM AGREED WITH MY DECISION AND PERFORMED THE WORK TO MY COMPLETE SATISFACTION, EVEN ADDING A SHUT-OFF VALVE FOR FUTURE SAFETY, SOMETHING I HAD NOT EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT. THE TOILET WORKS PERFECTLY NOW, AND COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS LESS TO REPAIR THAN TO REPLACE.
