I had an appt today with Brenden to fix our leaky shower valve. He was personable and efficient. He fixed it about 30 min including testing.

Jordan & his team spent three long days wiping away years of deferred maintenance & a few Jerry-rigged "fixes", bringing our house a bit closer to it's potential.

Disappointed with Cornel’s. Jordan was friendly and helpful, even though he couldn’t immediately solve my bathroom sink issue. My dismay is the $3000 quote to replace a $215 rough-in valve. The quote was unclear who needed to open up the wall for work, how long the job would take, or even an hourly rate. All I got…

Due to a plumber error with Cornel, it resulted in $40K of damage to my home. The claim is in subrugation, but in the meantime, my home insurance has gone up $1000 a year and now other insurance companies will not consider me for home insurance.

James did an excellent job replacing a leaking faucet. Found a good stylistic match, educated me about some of my plumbing, and went above and beyond to replace a broken valve at no extra cost after an old gasket broke during repair. Did the job fast too!
