Replaced main water shut-off valve

Jim was very professional & experienced with my repair; he explained what needed to be done prior to his housecall (I already knew the valve was broken). The price is quite reasonable among the quotes that I got. He arrived EARLIER than the promised time and waited patiently for the cityworkers to come &shut the water outside. He was finished in less than 1 hour. The valve was replaced with a better quality one...a Ball-valve. The area was cleaned thoroughly afterward (he even wore plastic booties in the house). Very pleasant interaction with him.
Thank you.

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Jim suggested that if it's possible: ask the cityworkers to wait and turn the water back on. This will save time & $ on the service charge by the city

Small Bathroom Reno

Jim Cunningham was prompt, worked constantly, took no short cuts and changed things which had not been done right previously. He is very particular and precise about his work. Jim explained after completing each area what he had done. His work was excellent and we now have a new bathroom. When he finished each day everything was cleaned up and he always inspected it before he left.
We are so pleased with his work we would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to have some work done.
Thank you Jim & Gary

Removal of tub and tiles; install new tub, tiles and more

We contacted Jim after seeing the reviews on Homestars. The initial job was the following: removal of old, 25 year old tub, tiles and sink; install new tub; intall cement board. We were going to do this as a DIY and we definitely made the correct decision to hire a plumber. Jim gave an initial quote on the phone and held to it throughout the job. His quote was one of three we received and was a fair price. We arranged a start time a couple of days after the agreement. Jim and his assistant, Gary, arrived 5 minutes early on Day 1. Upon learning the bathroom was upstairs they put on their paper booties to take a look. Gary then laid down a floor cover through the hallway and up the stairs. The first day they worked nearly 8 hours with one 15 minute break. This was on a day that was 30 degrees and humid, in a bathroom without great AC. They explained the job and kept me up to date whenever I asked. Removing the tiles was done neatly and professionally in several large pieces and some small debris. They installed the new tub (Jim let me know where I could get a solid deal on one) and shower head on Day 1. Bathroom was tidy when they left. At the end of the day, Jim agreed to install a new dishwasher the next day as well. Day 2 involved installing the cement board and removing the old sink. Then he installed the dishwasher. We then had our tiler come in over the weekend to tile the shower and floors. I called Jim on Sunday night to let him know the job was complete and he could come and finish the shower head installation. I also aske him to install the new toilet and new sink. He came the next morning. A couple of issues arose when he came - the shower head was missing a piece so I had to return and get a new one. He was going to work on the toilet during this time. When he opened the toilet box, he saw it was slightly damaged. He managed to work on other parts of the shower while I replaced the toilet. Minimal delays. It was very professional that he recommended replacing the toilet even though it slightly delayed his day. And, finally, he had to return on a fourth day, to install the sink as we had to replace the one we initially purchased. I called him at 1pm and he showed up at 2pm. So, four visits and he arrived early or quickly each time.

Jim has four different plumbing licenses. In summary, he's excellent to work with and explains the process. He held his pricing throughout and was on time. Most important, he does a solid job.

With a plumbing job, it's important to have someone at home to make the quick runs to the hardware store if you need an extra part (or replacement in our case). That way minimal time is wasted.

I recommend Jim and would use him again.

Plumbing repair

We have been on the hunt for a plumber to help fix a water pressure problem for quite sometime... I came across Fluid Transitions on Home stars and gave him a call. Jim arrived less than 24 hours after my request for an estimate, quickly diagnosed the problem and was able to help us on the spot. His price was fair, I appreciated his prompt service and the immediate follow up. We are pleased to have a reliable resource to call on for any future issues and/or renovations we do. Thanks so much Jim.

Thanks so much for the great review Julie, the fix was really a simple unclogging of the faucet strainers on the wash-rooms and showers.
Great to have met you all.

Kitchen, Master bathroom Renovation

This update is longer overdue! We had Jimmy in during our renovation in June through August of 2012 as well as 2 subsequent visits for smaller items. For our renovation he completed rough-in work for our kitchen sink (major drainage connection, venting rework, and supply lines), dishwasher (supply lines, connection) and fridge (waterline) as well as a major plumbing overhaul in our master bathroom (dual sinks, shower, bathtub (supply line movement and major venting rework).

Jimmy is very personable and takes the time to explain how he’s going to proceed. He’ll even draw you a picture of what he’s doing! He looks for the most efficient way to proceed as well as makes suggestions for making your life easier should you run into an emergency (e.g. shut off valves on supply line to a dishwasher in case it leaks). For us, he went above and beyond his scope of work. His rates are fair, as we looked at 2 other plumbers to do the same work.

He is responsive, will ask for clarification if faced with a choice of how to proceed (as not all contractors will) and what I appreciated was the fact that he ALWAYS cleaned up at the end of the day. I’d recommended Jimmy to anyone and we appreciated him so much after our reno we’ve had him back in twice since then.

New Toilet Installation

I was very impressed with Jim's service. He came out to our house within an hour, and with a very cheerful nature. His work was very efficiently done and he was very careful not to mess up the carpets and left everything very clean. The price was quite reasonable and we appreciated that. I will highly recommend Fluid Transitions to my family and friends. Thanks, Jim!

New vanity top install

Had the pleasure of meeting Jim yesterday. He installed a new sink, faucet and vanity top in my master bedroom wash-room.

He is friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. I appreciated that he put protective covers on shoes to protect my floor.

The new bathroom vanity looks great!

If I have other plumbing jobs in the future I will call Jim back to do the work.

Steam Shower Installation

Jim installed a steam shower in my newly gutted bathroom. I had the privilege of watching him in action every step of the way as I like to be involved in my home projects. He was extremely thorough and went above and beyond in many instances and didn't cut any corners. The steam shower itself was a pre-packaged unit and came with very poor installation instructions. Luckily we hired Fluid Transitions because Jim really knew how to think outside the box. I recommend his company for small or big and complicated projects.

Hope you enjoy your steam shower for years to come.
