If you think I'd be crazy not to just bite the bullet and get new valve(s)
installed...do you think two individual sealed ball valves might be less
likely to leak than a single lever Watts...I notice the single lever ones
have all kinds of o rings, etc....but I guess the single-handle ones can
easily be replaced without soldering if anything ever goes wrong...which
do
you think is better?


I live in an older house and every time I have to touch a preexisting valve,
I replace it with a ball valve. Of course this will be a little tricky on
your condo if it has copper pipe. Another reason for the high estimates is
that you may not have an individual shut off for your unit, and the whole
building may need to be shut down to change the valve.
