Shout out to Gus and Ed for the install and Mico for helping us find the right heating and cooling solution for us. All of our systems were past due for an update and Cornel's got us informed with what was available on the market without pushing us towards anything outside of our needs or budget. The install was…
James from Cornel Plumbing was absolutely the best to work with! We needed a new hose bib installed in our backyard, and James went above and beyond to truly understand our needs and provide a reasonable, high-quality solution. After gathering estimates from a couple of other companies, we ultimately chose Cornel…
What an amazing team! This is the company that you will want to work for your plumbing needs! I called with a broken bathroom pipe, we live in a house with galvanized pipes from the 60s, and we know they were old. We were skeptical to call a plumber cause it’s hard to trust people to be honest and not screw you…
Cornel plumber Juan S. replaced a toilet and a kitchen faucet in under 2 hours. We are very happy with the service and the quality of the products and the work. Juan was very friendly and professional. He left the work areas spotless. He answered all of our questions and gave us advice on best practices for using…
They did a good job replumbing my whole home in a good timeframe. The initial inspection missed a key detail which increased the price, but it was still a good price for the work they did, and they were flexible and willing to add a few extra things to make up for it
Overall great experience with Cornel's Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning. It first started with an inspection of my old units which were getting close to 20 years old and I could tell they might be losing steam. Don came out to look over everything and pointed out that the AC unit was running colder than expected…
I’d highly recommend Cornel’s for any plumbing project. Trey and team did a complete water and waste repipe, water service replacement and installed a new water heater. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Very professional, friendly and consistently kept me in the loop when decisions needed to be made. Judah…
Very happy with the job. Thomas K was great to work with, great communicator and got the job done when he said he was going to. Highly recommend.
James was pro from beginning to end. Personable, knowledgeable and explained the process so I could understand what was going to happen. I was more than comfortable having him in my home. He reminded me of my own kids. Thank you James. I have no more worries.
Juan and Dustin (Cornel’s Plumbing) did an excellent job troubleshooting and isolating my banging sounds when using cold water. The solution was to replace the pressure regulator (PRV) and add an expansion tank. Both gentlemen were very professional, kept their promises, and have great people skills. This repair has a three year guarantee.
When I think Cornell’s, I think customer service. I’ve had Cornell’s do plumbing work at my house for over 15 years. From frozen pipe bursts to sump pump repair. I consider them a premium price, but they answer with premium service. You get what you pay for couldn’t be more true here. James came over to replace a…
Juan was amazing at explaining everything. He took the time to walk me through all the repairs and the job was done quickly and he cleaned up after himself. Great representative for Cornel's
Evian was really considerate!! He texted when they were on their way in the mornings & when they were finishing up each day. Very good experience!
Another great experience with various plumbing needs for our home (pressure valve replacement, new toilet install, and 2 new angle stop replacements) with Thomas! He came within the window of time, gave thorough information about the process and need to know about our install, and worked with us to get it done after…
Service was great. Juan is very knowledgeable and very friendly.
Brendan did a terrific job installing our Phyn auto water shutoff today. He was careful and efficient, wrapping up faster than expected. I appreciated that he took the time to answer questions about my water heater after a long day. This was my first experience with Cornel's and I'd happily call them again.
Cornell Plumbing and Heating ANSWERED THE CALL! Our furnace crapped out in the winter, it was 20+ years old so we knew it was coming but put it off until it died. We were freezing for less than a day before Cornell quickly responded to our request for an inspection to see if the furnace was fixable. The inspector…
Eric did a fantastic job, showed up exactly when he said he would, and was professional.
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…
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.
