Great timeline as far as booking and then scheduling the service call. Kind staff. Reasonable price!
The service was professional and he knew just what to do. He was organized and cleaned up after himself.
Very reliable, responsive and easy to work with. I've been using Black Cat for almost 20 years. They are great.
Black hat fixed my shower cartridge and outdoor faucet. They were on time and did the work in about half of the time that was estimated to me on the phone.
Quick service to install a new faucett for a kitchen sink. Jordan made a number of tweaks to get all the hoses in place and to ensure the pull-down faucett worked smoothly. Fast and accurate - this was an EXCELLENT plumber's visit!
As always, very professional & personable. Job well done.
Black Cat is my go-to plumber for my 1890 Victorian home. Over the years, they have replaced hot water heaters, hose bibs, and waste lines. During their latest visit, they replaced 3 faucets, 3 pop up drains, and tightened a faucet. They do a great job. Staff is knowledgeable. They communicate well and are all-around nice folks.
Jaime was terrific. He fixed three problems in the kitchen and bath amazingly quickly; he explained what he was doing (and, in one case, how long an old faucet might, even though now fixed, last). He was also interesting, friendly . . . and clearly knew what he was doing. If we have plumbing issues in the future,…
Very kind, quick, and clean. He came in let me explain then go to work. When done, made sure I was happy. Couldn't ask for more.
Dylan was so knowledgeable, he knew just what to do. He called to see if he could come early and checked the working order of everything before he left. He also answered questions I had.
These guys have worked on my house several times, different stages of remodeling. I will call them again, great service and fair pricing. Awesome!
Explained options to me thoroughly, answered all my questions, did good work and good clean-up after. Very nice, professional plumber. This was the second big job they've done for me; highly recommend them.
Black Cat plumbing company absolutely deserves recognition! From the moment I called, their customer service was friendly, professional, and incredibly responsive. They were able to schedule an appointment quickly and kept me updated every step of the way. Our plumber, Jaime, was exceptional — truly a master of the…
Ethan worked on my tub drain pipe and replaced my kitchen faucet. He was very kind, thoughtful, and efficient. Surprisingly, he even cleaned up after himself in the basement. He covered some things I had out in the basement to make sure they weren't damaged too.
Mike and his staff were quick to connect with me and problem-solve leaking pipes. They were thorough in the explanation of the work that needed to be completed and provided a detailed bid. The work was completed in a timely matter. The work site was left clean and the job completed as promised. I would like to…
