  Best plumbers in the albany area? Im fixing up my two family to rent and found the upstairs tub drain is blocked and leaked a bit when i tried to manhandle it with a plunger. Plumber I called told me I had an old drumb trap would would need to be replaced. Without ripping down a patch of the 1st floor ceiling and replacing it after the job if done(i can do that part myself), he quoted me 1000-1500 dollars, which according to internet research sounds very high. Looking for a long term relationship with reliable licensed handymen, you know anybody?

  That job does sound pretty straight forward and is probably something I'd do myself. But there is no shame if you aren't comfortable with doing it yourself. I've had good luck using Flow Rite for a couple hot water heater replacements and for replacing some old cast iron plumbing. Flow Rite 518-649-0921

  Crissifulli (sp?)and Farrell Bros are outrageously expensive and apparently use the same standard pricing rates. Farrell brothers was 40 minutes late for an appt to quote. Quote was SO HIGH- we said thanks- and was charged $60 for his time/wasting ours. I was also recommended to call flow rite- afterwards. I was pumped with the quote and response time! However, they created a much larger problem and told me they couldn't fix it..so I had to start over and find someone else to fix what they did. Which ended up costing me more $. Flow rite- did swap out 2 kitchen faucets- which was fine..but left me with a brand new leaking bathroom faucet/ leaking new toilet and had hire someone else to install new hot & cold pipes in the wall! so I'd tread lightly here. They are good guys- they tried- but they are sewer (outside/in the ground) plumbers! If you have an old home with interior plumbing issues (walls/ceilings/ etc) - they may not be the right fit.
