Section 2What to compare before you call

Ratings tell you whether past customers were happy. These six details tell you what you're agreeing to. Under each one is how many of the 3 plumbers in this report told us.

Total price and what it includes

Ask whether the quote includes permits, materials, cleanup and any equipment. A low number that leaves out part of the job isn't a low number.

Disclosed by 0 of 3 plumbers below

Deposit at signing

Know the amount before the first meeting. In many states a large deposit comes with legal deadlines for permits and a start date.

Disclosed by 0 of 3 plumbers below

Payment schedule

Payments should follow finished stages of work, never get ahead of it.

Disclosed by 0 of 3 plumbers below

Warranty: what kind and how long

Structural, materials, equipment and workmanship warranties are different things. Check which one the number refers to.
