Forums:

Has anybody worked with a contractor that they would want to recommend? I am renovating and am looking to call a few people to get quotes.

Also looking for a good plumber who has reasonable rates.

Thanks for any leads.

You can save a lot of money if you just do it yourself. You don't even have to go to Home Depot to buy your pipes or anything. You can just go down by scrap metal place and people bring their old copper pipes there to sell. Even if you offer them half as much as what Home Depot sells pipes for you are probably still giving the people more money than Penn Treaty Metals does. Maybe you could even get them to take you to their house. They must have really big houses because some of them have extra copper pipes almost every day. Or maybe they are plumbers. You could just hire one of them.

Don't know about a plummer, but I do know an excellent contractor. Mike Scott. I don't want to plaster his number out there so private message me if you're still looking for someone and I will pass his #. He's good, honest and quick!

I had very good results with Jack Edmondson.

Jack fixed two of my toilets and fixed my roof to keep my basement from leaking. Rates were reasonable, he was prompt, can't ask for more than that.

I would recommend my brother, but he doesn't even call me back when I need plumbing help, so screw it, I'm not giving him business.
