Adam did a great job removing a garbage disposal and installing a kitchen faucet and water filter. Our plumbing is old with issues and he was able to correct the problems. Everything was left neat and clean. In addition, the office personnel did a great job of scheduling to accommodate our needs.

Previously had less than good experiences with Mr. Rooter and TJs plumbing where they did overpriced hack jobs. Mr. Rooter workers cut through one my floor joists without telling me and I had to fix it to stabilize my bathroom floor. The worker from Carlin was pleasant and nice and they did job at a fair price.

After letting my faucet drip for 8+ years the pipes rusted and rotted. Josh was on time (actually early!!!) and did a great job! Had to call John for snaking reinforcements who was also exceptional. I will be calling these guys for any plumbing needs for sure. And the price?! PERFECT!!! 5 stars!!!
