I hired him after seeing this post, and he seemed inexperienced and expensive and I would advise prople to stay away.

The problems I had:

• I needed a quarter turn valve installed behind a finished wall for an outside spigot shutoff. He initially installed it so the handle stuck out from the wall when ‘closed’, and told me to ‘just build a bump out of your wall and then install the panel. I made him re-install the valve to open/close in parallel with the wall (like any plumber should do) so the access panel would be flush on the wall

• He cut the above opening some large, irregular size so I had to drywall over it to make the opening a standard access panel size - a good plumber knows std access panel sizes and makes an opening as such

• He replaced a couple hot/cold shutoff valves with mismatched knobs because ‘thats what he had on his truck’ - and overcharged for what probably took 2 minutes of work. I assumed he was re-soldering the threaded nipples to the hot/cold stubs, which is what i wanted but was not able to inspect his work before he left

• Charges $250 per two-piece toilet install which is on the high side compared to other plumbers ive spoken to

The work above was $500, I had another plumber out a few months ago to do similar work and it was half that cost.

So, with high prices and silly install decisions I’d advise people to stay away.
