My #1 Secret for Saving on a Remodel: Plumbing Advice 

I have certainly learned my lesson on buying faucets from big box stores. I have one kitchen faucet that’s 20 or 30 years old and works perfect. It was bought from a local plumbing supply. Then I had two in a row bought from a big box that were utter crap right out of the box.

Thank you for your advise. It's great to have a great son who cares. I have a 30's house and have installed Grohe 15 years ago for all replacement hardware in a black American Standard porcelain sink and as well, installed a Delta mixing valve in the tile shower 20 years ago. All still functioning but I have, in reserve, replacement parts for me to DYI if needed. Again, thinks for doing this.

old gerber cant go wrong old as u jimmy

It's been my experience that the higher quality the faucet is, the easier and more solid the install is period, stay away from the box stores. if you're buying a Kohler faucet, go to a Kohler showroom

guys. I love your vids. But please, please, buy a set of bluetooth lapel mics. They plug right into the base of your phone, are ridiculously easy to use, and sound amazing. :)

Are you a magician? Because wow!

How you doing Jim? You will never be as grumpy as Don Spence SB Plumbing.. 😂🤣🤣

what do you think about tankless water heaters.

Thanks Jim. Thumbs up. Delta is also a good brand.

C’mon son….you don’t need college, after all, these are necessary high quality fixtures and parts we’re talkin’ about.😝

Yup…Grumpy nails it again. The only two words you need to know when it comes to faucets, fixtures, toilets, pipes, etc…plumbing supply. The worst quality item bought from a plumbing supply is better than the supposedly best quality item from a big box store. And remember, most plumbing supply stores are locally owned. You might spend a little more at a plumbing supply store but, you’re getting an improved quality item while also supporting a local business.

Can you list some of the manufacturers names? I am not sure what you are saying. Groey?
