Since the cost of remodeling even one room can take your breath away, doing it right the first time saves time, anxiety and money.
It’s always tempting to take shortcuts. In some places, cheaper products will do the job. When it comes to plumbing, though, especially the parts you don’t see, professionals guide you to those products guaranteeing the improvement you want and expect. Interior Designer Jeanette Knudsen teams up with Arizona-based Central Arizona Supply, to ensure her clients obtain quality parts backed with service.
Why it’s so crucial
Big box stores and online retail carry well-established name products. However, just as outlet stores are stocked with merchandise specifically manufactured for discounting, the same principle applies to low-priced plumbing sources. The inner parts you do not see are what make showerheads, faucets and drains work properly. They can be metal, like brass, or plastic. Special deals and discount pricing usually mean you’re paying for items made with cheap materials. Dealers work directly with manufacturers to ensure you get products built with materials that work better and last longer.
Also, beware of kits. Sometimes, one or more parts are missing or defective. Or, you may think you have everything you need for an installation, only to find out it requires more pieces. When this happens, the time and expense to correct it weighs on your patience and wallet. A local dealer is your best source to have everything you need the first time—and have it all fit together properly.
Finally, local professionals can answer your questions and guide you to brands that best fit your specific needs. As a specialist in aging in place, Jeanette relies on Central Arizona Supply to ensure her clients secure fixtures and materials they can trust.
A home project is only as good as the parts used and how well they are installed. In working with local professionals, you support your community and obtain the best in products and service. Remember, their reputation counts on it.
