Installation of new shower head
I had just ordered a new Delta In2ition shower head online. It is a combination rain shower with a detachable center, which makes it a bit tricky to install. As I had spent quite a bit on this shower head, and I wanted to have it installed properly, so I looked on HomeStars for a good, inexpensive plumber.
All of the reviews I read for Valentin from Strong Plumbing Co described exactly what I was looking for - someone who calls you back right away, gives you a short time window, communicates frequently, and arrives on time. On top of that, his rates seemed to be very reasonable, and the reviews of the work itself were nothing but complimentary.
I called Valentin at 9am, and he gave me a window of 12-2 on the same day to give me an estimate. He called at 12:30 to let me know he was on his way, and arrived by 1. When he arrived he put covers over his work boots and came upstairs to the bathroom. He took a look at everything, and told me that he could do the job for his minimum rate ($120). I thought that was very reasonable, and he started to work immediately.
It was done in about 30-45 minutes, and he called me up to inspect his work. He showed me that the detachable shower head's handle was defective, as it was making a squeaky noise, and then showed me how to get a replacement through Delta's warranty, and he also showed me how to switch out the shower head for a new one when the replacement arrives (without using any tools). Other than the manufacturer's slight defect, the job was done perfectly. The shower works very well, and Valentin left the bathroom just as he found it.
I put his card up on the fridge, and I know I will be calling him back if we have any future plumbing issues.
