Choose your plumber, then your fixtures

If your plumber is charging you by the hour to install new bathroom or kitchen fixtures, here's a sure way to save money. Ask him what brand he likes best. Chances are this will be a common, dependable brand that he's very familiar with.
Choose models made by this brand, and he'll install them more efficiently, saving time and money by not having to struggle through detailed instructions about what washers go where and what size wrench he needs to tighten everything. Also, he's more likely to install products correctly if he's already done it countless times before, and that will save you repair costs in the long run.
