My family and I just recently moved to the area and have had low/inconsistent water pressure supply to our house. Steve quoted and repaired all within the short span of a few hours, and our water pressure is infinitely better now. He was very transparent about everything and talked through the process in great detail. Would definitely recommend and plan to use him for any future plumbing related issues that arise.
