My technician communicated during his arrival, quickly diagnosed my issue, and provided me with repair options. He quickly replaced our disposal, cleaned up after himself (incl confirming with me what should be discarded), and gave me tips on how to prevent future issues

How do I pick a good plumber?

Look past the star average — almost everyone listed is 4.5★+. What separates them: the share of 1–2★ jobs in the last two years (category average 2.6%), whether the owner answers complaints (82% do), and how customers rated the specific job you need.
