Questions to ask before you hire — Wexford

Ask these five questions before signing anything:

• Can you provide two recent local references?
• Is the quote fixed or an estimate — and what would change it?
• How long has your company worked in Wexford?
• Are you licensed and insured for emergency plumbing work in Wexford?
• Who pulls the permit, and is the fee included?

A straight answer to every one is the minimum bar; hesitation on licensing or warranty is your cue to walk.
