Is your Plumber or Contractor bad?

You are not happy with your contractor or plumber. But you are not sure if he/she is really bad or just an average contractor.

We have a simple test that will help you figure this out. You need to answer to these two questions.

2. He has no license to do his business?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then your contractor/plumber is definitely bad and deserves the JoeThePlumber Medal! Go to this page and fill out our form!

We understand that it may not be easy to answer these questions about someone you don't know very well. Below are some hints that may be helpful.
