Updated Review: 11/03/26 I called Cornel’s regarding a garbage disposal problem. The scheduler was helpful and was able to schedule me for the next day. On the day of the appointment, Brenden arrived on time and was ready to troubleshoot the problem. Brenden explained what he was doing and why he was doing it.…
Thank you to Cornel’s plumbing and technician Colby. A job well done. Kind and professional. Price for service was appropriate to exceptional because the product needed was upgraded without increasing the cost.

Brandon was great. He explained everything. Easy to talk to.

All three provided multiple options at different price points, which was a refreshing contrast to the typical upselling I've experienced previously. Would…
We just had Brenden out to replace a broken disposal and find the cause of leak that’s been going on for years. He was on time, friendly, and knowledgeable about things plumbing, and helped give us next steps for other projects we might have around the house.
Our technician Zack was one of the nicest, polite and thorough tech’s we’ve had out to work on diagnosing our issues. This company has been so easy to work with from making your own appointment online, to timeline of arrival and follow-up. I can’t recommend Cornel’s Plumbing enough.
