You don't want to use a plumber that has scaled their business. That means that they're sending out a new hire to do your plumbing rather than the plumber that originally built the company's reputation.
The best plumbers spend $0 on advertising. They've got enough business through repeat customers and word of mouth to keep their small set of plumbers busy, and they're expanding slowly enough to properly train apprentices and ensure quality.

- bryanlarsen 1y agoYou find the plumber by asking your local network. Neighbors, etc.

- insane_dreamer 1y agoThat's great for already establish plumbers, not for new ones.
