I am not informed regarding other companys and thier performance, but I have been on some projects where others have been there before me and I am there to repair thier work for which they have already gotten paid for. I believe this alone provides my work to stand out. With this being said there is a percentage of unqualified service reps who are giving our trade profession a bad name. One can not blame the customer for being so skeptical.
I enjoy the challenge the opportunity of being a part of the solution to the problem. Some problems are more challengeing than others and I have had situations where I was unable to solve. there is always a solution and I will research for the answer and if I cannot resolve I will provide the most qualified solution whether it be LVR Systems or another entity.

Lawrence came to the house in Corsicana and crawled under the home and made some recommendations for improvements and repairs. His quote was reasonable and he did not use any scare tactics for repairs. I would recommend! Thank you

We had Lawrence come and install a new bathtub we had purchased. It was cast iron, so I made sure to be on hand to help, but Lawrence didn't need much at all and managed to get a heavy tub in a tight space. We prepped the area for him ahead of time and I'm very glad we removed the nearby toilet to ensure there was as much space to work with as possible. We're very happy with the installation and especially the workmanship. Lawrence was also great about showing us his progress and how things functioned to make sure we were satisfied.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
we prefer to price on site if no blue prints are availiable. This way we do not over or under bid and can go over with client any and all details so a fair and accurate quote will be given.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My 1st and utmost process is client tradesman relations. I been fortunate that whether we were appreciated or not I'm learning so much so when we launch we will not fail. Thank you all.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Every year in February I take a continuing education course for my license. It keeps me up to date and now also green conscience. I get to see what poor work is being done out there.
My instructors are licensed plumbing inspectors and they take pictures of some unique but illegal work being done out there. It also keeps me aware of the do's and dont's. In this trade of plumbing it is important that the resposible plumber does the job correctly especially for gas and venting of carbon monoxide, 1 wrong mistake can be dangerous for the client or even fatal this is why permits must be pulled and work inspected by a qualified state inspector.
