I'm very happy with my experience working with Arthur. He ordered the part I needed to fix my oven (ignitor) and worked hard to manage the replacement. He also checked for wiring issues in my kitchen outlets and replaced 2 of them. Thus far no issues. He also provided advice on some other jobs and I'm sure I will be hiring him again for 2 of them.

Top Handyman related questions

Yes, in California, a contractor's license is required for any job where the combined cost of labor and materials exceeds $1,000, a threshold raised from $500 on January 1, 2025, under Assembly Bill 2622. This rule applies statewide, whether you're booking work in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or San Diego, and covers any single project or combination of projects for the same owner. According to the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) at cslb.ca.gov, contracting without a license above this threshold is a criminal misdemeanor.

The information above is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Licensing laws and thresholds change frequently, always verify current requirements with your state licensing board or a qualified legal professional before starting any work.

Use the free CSLB online check at cslb.ca.gov before hiring any contractor for work over $1,000 in California. The tool shows license number, classification, expiration date, bond status, and any disciplinary history, and is updated daily across all California markets, including Los Angeles, San Diego, and Sacramento. Hiring an unlicensed contractor above the $1,000 threshold can void your homeowner's insurance and leave you liable for any worker injuries on your property.

Kitchen sink pipe repair

$44

Alamitos Beach CA, United States

Apr 23rd 2026

Need someone to get parts from store and perform following repair, it may be prudent to examine break first- AI says: It looks like you have a clean break on the garbage disposal discharge tube (also commonly called a tailpiece or elbow). Specifically, the black plastic pipe that connects the side of your Moen GXP50c disposal to the rest of your sink's drain plumbing has snapped off. Since the disposal vibrates significantly during use, this plastic eventually failed at the point of highest stress. The Parts You Need To fix this, you will generally need to replace that specific angled pipe. Most hardware stores sell a Disposal Discharge Tube Kit. Here is exactly what to look for: • Discharge Tube: Usually a black or white plastic 90^{\circ} elbow. • Rubber Gasket: This fits between the tube and the disposal to prevent leaks. • Metal Flange/Mount: This is the metal plate that bolts the tube onto the disposal (you can likely reuse your old one if it is not damaged). A Quick Tip for the Repair When you go to the store, it is helpful to bring the broken piece with you to ensure the length and diameter match. Since you are using a Moen disposal, they typically use standard 1\text{ }1/2 inch drainage components. Before you start, make sure to keep that white bucket or plate underneath—any water left in the disposal will come out as soon as you remove the remaining stump of the broken pipe. I will pay or reimburse for parts.

Very efficient and professional.
