Before you book a plumber across Coquitlam, BC
- Lock the materials specification before signing the quote — substitutions during the job invariably trade-up in the contractor's favour, not the homeowner's.
- Confirm permit-pulling responsibility in writing: Coquitlam bylaws expect the contractor to file, but quote-text can quietly shift the duty onto the homeowner.
- Set a documented punch-list deadline post-handover; vague "we'll come back to fix that" promises evaporate once final payment clears.
