Read Online Customer Reviews

Online customer reviews are an excellent resource. A great place to start is the Better Business Bureau (BBB), which has over 100,000 reviews for homeowners to peruse. Many of the plumbers listed here are accredited by the BBB, which gives them a leg up on those who are not. AngiesList.com is another useful resource, but there is a monthly membership fee. In return, AngiesList.com prohibits anonymous reviews, which the site believes improves the accuracy and authenticity of its service.

Contact Your Insurance Company

Even if your insurance company isn’t paying for your leak repairs or sewer cleaning near Englewood, they’re still a viable resource for locating a reputable plumber. Many insurance companies have agreements in place with reputable local contractors covering all areas of home improvement, and it’s quite likely that your insurance company adheres to a thorough vetting process. So not only can you trust that your provider has done its homework, you might even get a discount if you work with a plumber endorsed by the insurer.

Inquire About Licenses/Bonding and Technical Certifications

No doubt it’s important to hire a plumber with extensive experience and state-of-the-art solutions. However, equally important are aspects such as technical certifications, customer service, and safety. The plumber you choose should be licensed and bonded, and its technicians should have to pass background checks and participate in ongoing training. No homeowner should be put in a position where the plumber they hire lacks the required training and certifications, or even worse is a convicted criminal.

Confirm The Scope of Work

Many plumbing contractors serving Denver offer service guarantees on the work they perform. This provides assurance to the homeowner that the job will be completed satisfactorily. It’s a good idea to confirm with the plumber the estimated length of the job. Also, homeowners are well within their right to ask a plumber for a warranty or a guarantee period on the contracted work.

Apples-to-Apples Estimate Comparison

As with any home improvement service, homeowners should solicit quotes from at least three plumbers. But what sometimes gets lost in the shuffle is how important it is for the homeowner to create a clear, concise brief on which the plumbers’ quotes are based. It’s vital that all three plumbers quote the same job so that the homeowner can do a simple apples-to-apples comparison. This also minimizes the chances of a plumber providing a stripped-down quote to appear as the least expensive option. Plus, if one company comes in more expensive than the others, the homeowner can ask the company about the price and understand what (if anything) is different about their offering.
