Drywall from the ceiling of the downstairs was cut out to access the bottom of the shower drain and a new drain installed. Four screws, some plummers putty and new drain. I have…

They did a good job replumbing my whole home in a good timeframe. The initial inspection missed a key detail which increased the price, but it was still a good price for the work they did, and they were flexible and willing to add a few extra things to make up for it
