Jose removed code deficient and malfunctioning bathroom drain plumbing and replaced it with working and legal plumbing. The workmanship is very clean. I've had bad experiences with other contractors, but Jose allowed me the time and space to make the penetrations in the fragile cement shingles on the outside wall that his work required.
