Updated · Verified plumbers in West Des Moines
Before you compare prices
- Get at least three written quotes for the same scope, so the numbers can be compared line by line.
- Ask for the license number and look it up with the state or county. It should be in the company's or owner's name.
- Ask for an insurance certificate sent by the insurer, with liability and, for employers, workers' compensation.
- Check who pulls the permit. The contractor should, not you as the owner.
- Tie payments to finished stages and keep the final payment until the work passes inspection.
