Final Adjustment Plumbing and Heating

Installed the rough plumbing first and passed inspection. Installed plumbing for sinks and was told by inspector that the hot and cold connections were on wrong sides under sink and temperature of hot water was too hot. Not a big problem. I purchased a very expensive claw foot tub that came with specific fixtures and pipes that had plumbing dimensions and measurements and specs of where holes should be drilled for the pipes. He took the wrong measurements and drilled the holes through the floor and travertine tile in the wrong place and the tile had to be ripped up and re-installed. The second time the holes still weren't exact and the pipes coming through the floor noticeably bent so they could fit through the stabilizer bar that is attached to the tub. Horrible! He used a clear flexible rubber pipe that supplies water to the toilet instead of the brushed copper pipe that matched the rest of the fixtures and handles on the toilet. When we informed him that he had to use the pipe we paid extra for that matched the rest of the plumbing fixtures he had to take out the tile and drill another hole because the existing hole would not work with this pipe. Each time work had to be re-done he told us that it would not be done for at least a week because he was working on other jobs. Finally, after job was completed and I looked in the crawl space I saw that he didn't remove a bunch of pipes and plumbing fixtures that he ripped out and was supposed to dispose of. Very sloppy is an understatement. Not skilled enough or pays enough attention to detail for high end jobs.

I thought he was polite, cleaned up well after himself and his pricing was A+.
