Plumber VS. Plumbing Business

Are you "hiring" a plumber?

OR

Are you "engaging the services" of a plumbing business?

If you "hire" JUST a plumber, expect the following:

1.  A worker who expects "hourly pay" with no risk.
2.  A worker (apprentice, handyman, etc.) may not be qualified (always ask to see their Journeyman card)
3.  A worker who is NOT licensed, insured, bonded.
4.  A worker who does NOT stock basic plumbing parts to fix a sink drain (for example).
5.  A worker is probably only available after his normal employment hours (evenings, weekends)

If you "engage the services" of a plumbing service business (Journeyman Jay Plumbing),

(especially if the plumber providing the service is the owner of the plumbing business)

     Expect the following:

1.  An ARTISAN who provides the most accurate estimate of cost to the customer.

2.  A qualified, licensed, insured, and bonded CRAFTSMAN who adheres to plumbing code.

3.  An INVESTOR who invests in appropriate vehicles, equipment, tools, start-up costs, promotion, etc.

4.  An efficient and effective MANAGER of his resources (use of apprentice time, inventory of parts, etc.)

5.  A TAXPAYER who "pays" (and "collects") GST, income tax and licensing fees.

6.  A SCHEDULER of plumbing jobs (estimating lengths of time for plumbing jobs).

7.  An ENTREPRENEUR always looking for better ways to serve his customer.
