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.
We have been using Cornell Plumbing for 25 years. Sometimes as time goes by a company will see a decrease in Customer Service and quality of work. Cornel's gets better every time The knowledge and care that we received today speaks volumes about the company Brenden is exceptionally professional, consistently…
Zac helped us with a leaky bathtub faucet today. He was incredibly kind, respectful, and thorough as he worked at my home. He showed up right on time, performed an overall assessment of our plumbing issues, and then addressed the immediate concern of the leaky faucet. He gave me two options to fix the leak and did…
Eric was awesome and walked us through all our options. He was respectful and kind. We would absolutely hire him back in the future. Thanks!
Cornel's Plumbing did a great job of getting a same day early morning appointment so that week could celebrate our daughter's birthday! We had a bathtub faucet that had a steady stream leak, Juan did an excellent job of explaining the options we had for the age of our faucet. Since it was a Friday, and had a…
Juan Segundo was the technician who came over and helped us with our issues. He gave us such great advice on preventative steps regarding our pipes. He was super kind and easy going. Highly recommend using this service.
Brenden was great to work with, he was knowledgeable and professional. He was very clear with the options, fixed my faucet quickly and efficiently.
Tech was great person. Fixed the water pressure and gave good advice.
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. Now with a new tankless water heater we actually have hot water that is wonderfully HOT, w/o the long wait as before. Gone are all the old decrepit & too…
From beginning to end we were walked through the entire process. Truly 5 star! Thank you to the entire team.
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…
Brenden was proffessional and on time. Was able to answer our questions and performed the work quickly and efficiently. I would recommend and use them again.
Brendan was very Courteous & professional
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. The one company that will will take me on will not write in a water…
Professional on time polite courteous expensive? Not as much as anticipated
Quick, efficient communication. Respectful of the house and they did a good job. Would use their services again.
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!
Adrian A. was prompt and helpful!
Alex showed up on time, went over the scope of the work needed. He came back the next day and completed the work in only 2/3rds the time of the original estimate. He was very friendly, professional, and his work was great. 5 of 5 stars
I was able to get an appt the next morning. The plumber was friendly and able to quickly fix the problem.
Kitchen faucet repair.
Had a small issue in my guest bathroom that required us getting a new faucet. Brandan showed up to fix it, he was not only fantastic at his job, but he showed up on time! Finished the job quickly, and even took my garbage cans out to the road for me. Which was very sweet as I have just have just undergone major…
Brendan was timely, friendly and answered all our questions and concerns. He did a great job with several plumbing issues.
Very professional company and employees!!! Eric and Jake were super friendly, helpful, and precise. My 18-year-old water heater was replaced same day making me feel safer in my home. I will call Cornel's for all future plumbing and HVAC needs!!
Juan was on time and very polite and helpful with information. We decided to replace our 50 gal water heater. I would hire Cornel again and can not recommend Juan for his customer service attitude. He saved us some money and was very pleasant.
James did an amazing job! Very meticulous and made sure we had all our questions answered
Brandon adjusted our guest shower mixing valve in just a few minutes and solved an issue that has annoyed us for years. Brandon was polite, friendly, and informative. It was a pleasure having him in our home.
Kevin was great. He easily fixed the initial water heater problem we called him out for. We also had him look at our bathroom sinks which have leaked for years. He also fixed those. I’m impressed with the documentation including videos of completed work. If you want a top-notch plumber, then Kevin is your man.
Thomas was great! He came to fix our bathroom faucet and it works perfectly now!
Worked with Brenden Turner, he made sure we underatood what the issue was with shower handle, what the fix is, and what the lifespan might be. He was very thorough in explaining every aspect of the what the plumbing system looked like.
Brenden has been super helpful and is very knowledgeable about all types of plumbing issues. He fixed our sink very quickly and saved us as much cost as possible.
Juan was extremely helpful helping me understand what was wrong with outdated pressure valve and cost effective ideas to fix it. I am a veteran and so greatful for their expertise, honesty and willingness to work with me and my family! Thank you Juan!
Zac was amazing! Efficient, educational and incredibly personable.
Zac was able to quickly identify and fix issue, whole process from scheduling was easy and fast!
Wonderful service and good communication.
I called about a leaking faucet and got an appointment the next day. James arrived on time and fixed the issue right away. He was polite and professional. I will definitely use this company again.
James was a huge help. Nice, professional and walked me through my options. Would definitely recommend!
Overpriced!! Avoid them! Quoted $2800 to replace a shower faucet. Ridiculous. Thank goodness we weren't in an emergency situation with no water. I'm sure they take advantage of people that way. Very disappointing
Tom was very nice and friendly, always on time, did a great job on replacing the shower faucet from the inside out; it was a very hard job about 3 hours from start to finish....
Brendan came out to look at a few plumbing issues. He was great about explaining different options. We decided to have him replace our angle-stops when replacing our old faucet.
Joe was really proficient and helpful with diagnosing what work needed to get done and answering any questions I had. Went above and beyond picking up a new faucet from Home Depot! When the other plumber Baxter arrived he knew exactly what needed to be installed/fixed and completed the work in a timely manner.…
Brenden and Baxter were very friendly, helpful, and informative. They were prompt with their arrival time and worked diligently to get the job done. My hot water tank was leaking and they made my visit a priority. I will be using them again for my plumbing needs.
Thank you to Evian, Baxter, and Ben K for completing my project! From beginning to end, our experience with Cornel’s Plumbing was amazing. We have a 1953 home with a lot of 'DIY' history and original galvanized steel pipes, so we expected some major hurdles. Evian, Baxter, and Ben K. handled the entire…
Great service
Brenden was excellent in taking care of our shower:plumbing issue on a very notice.
The work was fully explained, a few options were presented, and then the work was done quickly and professionally at a reasonable price. Would recommend.
Brendan was awesome!
I have had such a wonderful experiences with this company. They are quick about scheduling appointments (same day when needed) and I know I am getting quality service and parts. Zac Hutto was my most recent technician and he was very kind, respectful and professional. He did a wonderful job with installation and…
Coleman was great. He came out to work on part 2 of this job. He was thorough, explained everything he was doing clearly, he was tidy and cleaned up after the job was done. When this company learned that my step dad- a veteran- had passed they provided a military discount and expressed sincere condolences. This is…
Brenden and Vinny were awesome they took the time to go over everything
Juan was patient, clear and proficient. I will be returning to Cornel’s for sure.
Thomas K arrived on the scene of a shower plumbing emergency and quickly assessed the situation and acted to save the bathroom from total submersion. Through the whole visit, Thomas showed quick wit, solid communication, and calm demeanor, as well as mastery of his craft. Gets a full recommendation from this household.
It was great working with Eric B today. He is very knowledgeable & a very friendly guy. I am replacing a toilet soon, & he made sure everything was handled on their end before he left. Would definitely recommend Cornel’s & Eric B.
This has been our go-to plumber for years, and they're still just as great to work with as ever. Most recently, we had a couple minor issues so we gave them a call without even looking at other options. Joe was super nice and super helpful, saved us a few bucks too. Now that they do HVAC, we only go to them for that…
The plumber, Juan was very professional in our initial consultation. He made sure to ask if I had any other questions or concerns or if I needed clarification. He was thorough as well as time efficient when completing the plumbing work. Excellent Job!🤓
I had Cornel’s come out to do an annual service on my HVAC system and was so impressed that I scheduled a follow up for a plumber to come fix a hose bib that had failed. Both technicians were excellent! Courteous, knowledgeable, and able to explain what they were doing and why to make sure I was informed at every…
Excellent service! Friendly and informative
We had a problem with an old freeze free outside faucet. Jake called to let us know that he was ahead of schedule and was able to come out sooner than we had expected. We were greatly appreciative of this since we were without water for the day. Jake listened to our explanation of the problem, inspected all aspects…
Premium experience experience with Kevin and Vinnie. Exceptional outcomes. Clean and professional work. High degree of customer service. Highly recommended
We've been experiencing some fairly bad plumbing issues over the last few months and cornel's has been very responsive and helpful in all aspects. They've communicated and coordinated well with our other contractors that have been repairing our water damaged basement and upstairs bathroom issues. Shout out to Jake…
Cornel’s sent Zac for same day service on a Friday afternoon!! He was very friendly and professional. Extremely ethical attitude. I highly recommend.
Kevin was absolutely the BEST and he helped us get three toilets installed and fixed our kitchen sink. Such a consummate professional and all around good person. Juan also did an exceptional job! I really valued his expertise and problem solving. I will absolutely continue to use Cornell for all of my plumbing needs.
Cornel solved my problem with a very old bath faucet. He was professional, timely, knowledgeable, and a truly nice guy. Highly recommended!
Tech came and replaced an outdoor faucet. He was prompt, courteous, and efficient.
October 2023 update: yet another instance of GREAT service by this company. The bathtub faucet in my main bathroom developed a fast drip that I could not turn off. Cornel's sent two helpful, courteous, and capable plumbers, Dylan and Jordan, within hours of my call to them. They gave me two possible options and…
Technician clearly explained the issue and fixed it quickly. Very friendly and professional, definitely recommend them
Both of the service people, Vinnie and Thomas were outstanding. Wish I knew where these fabulous people come from. I would hire immediately. I love this company!!
VinnieG was skilled, professional and efficient. The repairs were perfection, highly recommend this individual and company.
Thank you Vinny for the best in class customer service and repair! Best plumbing company in town, if you're looking for genuine care, in-depth expertise, and quality!
We recently had our house replumbed by Cornel Plumbing. They did a great job. They were professional and nice. We had a few things that didn't get done and they came right out and fixed it! The only thing that I would have liked better was a more detailed estimate in writing. It seemed like we talked about…
Thanks to Abbi, Megan, Jake and Jordan for diagnosing and repairing our tub/shower fixture. We had scheduled a repair service date in the near future but became concerned that the problem was getting worse. Abbi and Megan quickly connected with Jake and Jordan, who volunteered to show up same day at the end of their…
Cornel was very prompt. He was very professional. Services were completed in a timely manner. The new devices were explained to us and were much better than the old ones. Cornel offered expert advice on plumbing and water awareness that will help us protect our home in the future. It was a great experience.…
Also corrected misrouted supply lines and installed appropriate valves.
Professional competent and fast. Justin and Tony were great, fixed a hose connection previous plumber could not and fixed our shower. Definitely recommend 👍
Cornell replaced the hose bib outside my house to repair a leak for me. He tried the less expensive option first, but when it became apparent it wouldn’t solve the problem, he did the more complicated option that required access through the drywall in my home. He is the cleanest and tidiest plumber I could ever…
We have used Cornel's Plumbing twice. Both times we've been very happy with the service they provided!
Cornel’s Plumbing is top notch and has always provided highly responsive, professional services. Their staff is very knowledgeable and always on time!
