TJ looked at all that was done and confirmed that I didn't miss any leak sources. Then suggested that I monitor where I saw the water to see if it returned. That's much better than cutting into Sheetrock
Price assessment: Great price

Tom, thanks for the five-star review. We’re glad TJ carefully inspected everything and suggested monitoring the area instead of cutting into the Sheetrock. Hearing that his practical approach was helpful means a lot to us. We appreciate you sharing this.

Beth Noonan4 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Beth has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We had an issue with low flow in our bathroom sink. Ruben shared the potential issues and fixes. He replaced the valves which were clogged with calcium, which really improved the pressure. He let us know the likely next steps (replacing the fixture) to fully address the issue. I appreciated the clarity. We will definitely use Beis for any future repair/replacement.
