Dean in High Park

A slow leak at an elbow joint in a bathroom water-supply pipe was steadily worsening after I'd made an unsuccessful attempt to fix it myself. I called Valentin one evening and, even though it was far from a crisis, he showed up first thing the next morning. The problem was the renovator's hasty pipe fitting and crude, patchy welding, that was obvious to anyone. But Valentin gave a very reasonable cost estimate at the outset of the job and replaced a considerable section of the original pipe, creating a clean, smooth solder that made the original work look ridiculously amateurish. Not a nick or spill inside the cabinet. He even gave me some helpful welding tips in case I tried to play Mr. Fix It again down the road.
