Pro, More than Fair, Did a professional job replacing our old pipes in our home with new ones. Went over the top to make sure everything was done correctly without asking. No short cuts, was more than fair with pricing. Also fixed another couple issues we were having in our bathroom with a pro snake tool to remove all the debris cloged up. The piping Setup he put together looked very good, also it was very sturdy. You could sit on it but probably not a good idea
