   Like any other contractor there are several things to consider.
   
   1 Insurance - Make sure the contractor entering your home is properly insured. Its not enough to just ask, ask for a copy of his insurance accord then call the insurance company listed and verify that it is still applicable.
   2- Look for a referral from a contractor (in any field) that you trust. Most established contractors will not risk loosing a customer with a bad referral
   3-Ask for a price in writing before starting the job, I stress before. Also ask what could possibly go wrong to bring up the price.
   4-Keep in mind you get what you pay for. This is the first time in my life I have ever heard of plumbers being out of work but it is happening so you may be able to save some money but be weary of someone charging half of what everyone else is, there's a reason
   5-Google search UACC or PA both of these are professional association's for the plumbing industry. This does not tell you how good a plumber is but if they have the extra cash to join an association they are pprobably doing well and if they are doing well they are probably worthy which brings us back to price, they probably charge more.
   good luck and feel free to contact me for a referral if you are in my area
