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…

I’m impressed with the documentation including videos of completed work. If you want a top-notch plumber, then Kevin is your man.
