No longer does residential work, and for good reason. They used an unsupervised apprentice to do substandard work without permits. Errors included:
1. No vent on one of the bathroom sinks
2. No flashing on the roof vent for the toilet, so the roof leaked
3. No waterproof membrane on either of the shower pans
4. Wrong type of drain in both showers
5. Pex instead of copper shower risers
6. Water lines draped over the main electrical panel
7. Water heater destroyed because they failed to close, cover, or empty it after moving it
8. Water heater vented across a gas supply line and into a floor joist
9. Missing brackets, corner guards, and insulators on all water lines, causing friction and future leaks where they pass through framing
10. Incorrectly sized supply lines, such as new 3/4 inch supply connecting to new 1/2 inch supply connecting to old 3/4 inch galvanized running to the kitchen

The water heater had to be relocated, again, and replaced at a cost of $2500. Two marble tiled showers had to be totally replaced at a cost of $3000 each. I had to pay a roofer $250 to install the vent flashing. The remaining repipe and repairs cost $3550. On top of that, they billed me $910 to move a water line 18 inches after their apprentice installed it across an HVAC vent. I refused to pay it so they sent the bill to collections.
