And, as a customer, you find that plumber how? What about when they tell you they'll be available 2 months from now for a 1 day service?

When I needed an emergency water heater I asked my boss who manages a few of his rental properties. When I needed a new roof I asked one of Facebook/Reddit/Nextdoor. I’d always favor word of mouth recommendations vs advertising.

You find the plumber by asking your local network. Neighbors, etc.
