I've got a laundry list of minor plumbing issues that I need to take care of. Everything from installing new shutoff valves in the bathroom, to solving a "water hammer" noise in the pipes, to installing new toilets.
Anyone have a recommendation for a good plumber in town?
Hudson Plumbing - (918) 446-5252. They're terrific. Tell them I referred you.
Sunset Plumbing in BA ask for Ron.

If you have the time, the shutoff valves and water hammer issues are pretty easy to take care of on your own. It would take perhaps a few hours of your time.
Plumbing new waste lines and that sort of thing probably ought to be left to a professional unless you have experience, though. (proper venting is important and not entirely obvious how to do correctly)
Might be a little too conservative for you but call Joe...
Thanks for all the recommendations! (Except maybe Conan's...) ;) Joe the Plumber, indeed!
Do it yourself! None of that list is very hard, if you just take it easy and pay close attention to detail. And places like Home Depot and Lowe's can help.
There are a lot of "how to" books at both those places. You are talking about the cost of materials/fixtures, plus a couple books and a few pretty inexpensive tools (maybe $100 for tools to do what you have talked about) and two or 3 Saturdays.
And end up with a ton of self confidence and the satisfaction of a job well done.
Quick tip; if you ever change ANY shutoff valve inside, go ahead and spring for the extra couple bucks for ball valves! You will be SO glad you did!
