Switching from an electric cooktop to a gas one didn't seem like a big project, or so we thought. In hindsight it's a multi phase project involving numerous entities/specialists, which guarantees a complicated process and much coordination.
The most crucial step is adding a gas line, which requires calculations, functionality, and a permit from the County. Before we studied the issue in depth, we faced a completely wide range of proposals varying in competence, planning, and pricing ($850 - $2,250!).
We opted to apply for the permit ourselves and were educated on the requirements so we could better judge the offers. This is where Edmund stood out right away: no nonsense, or even worst - false claims as to the necessary scope of the project. Instead he clearly explained to us the work, options, and criteria for making the right decision. The offer price was fair and adequate, matched the effort and professional requirement, and performed in a clean, quick, and efficient manner.
The work passed inspection with no issues, and Edmund helped us install the cooktop as well, which no other gas installer was willing to do.
This was by far the best experience we had with a contractor. For any plumbing and gas projects in the future Edmund is our man!
