Common questions
How long does it take?
Under an hour for most repairs.
Can I buy my own faucet?
Yes. Tell the pro the brand and model so they bring the right fittings.
Why is Manhattan more expensive?
Parking, building rules, insurance certificates and travel time add to the pro's cost, so prices there typically run 10% to 20% higher.
