If you read no further in this review, just know that whatever you do, use Clark’s!
My wife and I just bought our first house. The day we moved in, the tub faucet started leaking. Very unlucky! I looked it up on youtube to try and figure it out for myself, but my single knob setup was different from all the dual knob tubs that people were working on. I decided to call in a professional.
The first company I called over (4.8 stars on yelp) because I saw one of their work trucks nearby. It was a Friday, so they scheduled someone to come on Monday. The guy they sent over seemed well trained but young and didn’t recognize the brand we had installed. Our house was built in ‘85, so he assumed we still had the original fixtures. Without a way to know the brand, he said they’d have to replace the whole thing, which would include cutting through the wall of the bedroom closet on the other side of the tub.
Altogether, the job was supposed to cost $1400 and include two jobs- cutting and repairing the closet drywall in addition to the tub. Unhappy with this, my wife and I decided to get a second opinion.
I looked at the nearby options and noticed Clark’s is a very small operation. From what I saw, it’s one guy who’s been a plumber for over 25 years. I described the faucet and logo over the phone, and he said he thinks he knows the brand but wanted to check first. He came over about an hour later and immediately recognized the kind, a mark of experience. He went on over to pick up the part and our tub was fixed in no time at all for less than $200!
Clark’s tagline rings very true- quality work at a low cost. I’m so happy I didn’t go with the crazy quote the corporate guys gave and instead supported a quality local business.
