subject: Need A Plumber In Oxnard? Visit: Www.tiptopremodeling.com [print this page] If you're looking for a plumber in Oxnard, the experts at www.tiptopremodeling.com have some advice.
While some homeowners just thumb through the yellow pages and pick a plumber at random, assuming a plumber is qualified because he or she is listed in the yellow pages can be a mistake.
Always ask the following questions of any potential plumber.
1) Are you insured? The only acceptable answer to this question is yes. The potential plumber needs to have both workers' compensation and liability insurance of at least $500,000.
2) Are you licensed? Many states require that a plumber be licensed for their company to be considered legitimate. If so, you need to call (or check online) the appropriate agency for your state, to make sure the license is current.
3) Do you have references? This will let you know just how experienced the plumber is. references are a great source to confirm previous clients were happy with the plumber's work.
4) How much will this cost? You must ask for and receive a detailed quote which includes a written estimate. This will include payment terms as well as a list of materials they'll need for the job.
5) Is your work guaranteed? Will you come back to fix the problem if it returns again? It is always best to pick a plumber who guarantees his or her work.
Even though the process of hiring a plumber for urgent repairs to your home can be stressful, if you put yourself in a position of power by asking all the right questions, your peace of mind will be well worth the time and energy you spent to find an honest and qualified plumber.
