Look at your plumber as a consultant who can figure out the problem, give you a general idea on how long it will take to fix it, and provide an accurate estimate. Does the plumber sound helpful on the phone? Does he/she ask you the right questions? Sometimes it is better to pay a little more and get more value than get the cheapest plumber in town.
